Hi TopSteve,

 

I have always found your suggestions very helpful.  Now I am having a related problem with the new IOS 8 update.

Hi there,

rajiv0001   I am sorry to say I can't help with this one.  If you look back over my posts you will note that I only have an iPhone 3G and so the highest version of iOS I can use is IOS 4.  This is why local and not cloud storage is inportant to me.  It is also why I can not help,  I learn by trial and error and I can not aford a new phone so unless someone offers to give me(as a gift) a newer iPhone that will run IOS 8  then I can not try things and learn things to help others.

I am sorry

I recently upgraded Mountain Lion to Mavericks. Until now it's been disappointing. I read about these so-called syncing features too late.

Is there any alternative for syncing Safari bookmarks without iCloud? I'm considering going back to ML.

I’ve not yet updated to ITunes 12. Can anyone confirm if SnycGate has returned?

I can tell you that on 10.10.2 with iTunes 12 bookmarks no longer can be sync if not using the iCould. Since I won't go down the cloud route I'm stuck. *** is apple thinking here?

Thank you for pointing that out!

Thank you for posting!  This helped me get back to syncing locally as well!
