help maverick does not synchronise adress book and calendar with itunes

If you want to use the Apple apps, you'll have to setup iCloud on the devices and sync over-the-air, more general info about iCloud here -> http://www.apple.com/icloud/

SyncMate is working on their own Sync-Service-Driver since it has been removed from OSX. Of course that means you will have to pay for a function you had. But the good thing is SyncMate will work with any phone.

See http://blog.sync-mac.com

I just can't believe that we have been sold out by Apple. I dont' want any cloud solution!. I want to use my own data in the way that I see fit. I want the functionality back that I will be able to sync my outlook calendar and contacts via itunes.

The way I see it... NSA paid for OSX Maverick, - the user received it for free - Apple delivered "our" data.

I am ******!

i checked out SyncMate earlier this day, and came to the same conclusion. We have to wait for either SyncMate or that Apple will reverse their decision regarding sync. I have sent a formal complaint. I don't like to have my freedom of choice rights revoked!

Liberty666 - I am so with you on this one.

I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do not want that either.

I chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can no longer do that.

Whoever made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by this.

I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back. Or a work around.

hello everybody

i am french and i have the same problem

i share the opinion of the persons who don't want to share their private data with America

i haved wrote to the Européan Commission to alert them on this case

i hope it could help us

otherwise and despite i am using mac for ten years, i am thinking very seriously to sold my mac book air, my mac book pro, my ipad and the 4 Iphone of the family and go to visit the PC World

Apple is going wrong on this policy

I did the upgrade from ML and found the same problem – telephoned Apple Support and was told that this is a new feature implemented so that they may take care of my data more securely! Well, I corrected the lady that it was a feature now gone! Of course, I have now regressed back to ML. It is very disappointing that Apple would do this without warnng and then patronisingly claim that they were usurping control of my personal data 'for my protection'. I do not blame the support person as she was only saying what she was instructed to say.

On the possible bright side, I read today that iTunes 11.1.3 has now returned the feature and protection of local syncing of calendars and contacts. Is this true? If so I may yet again take a test of Mavericks.

I do not know why but when I post on this subject they get deleted.

jschmo - I have iTunes 11.1.3 and it does NOT have the local synching of calendars and contacts

I wrote to the Australian CEO and someone called me today but I missed their call. I will speak with Apple tomorrow.

appid

thank you for your message

i wrote to the European Commissiion yesterday

i haved a call with Apple assistance a this moment

the first person could'nt help me and her responsable tell me that this "evolution" was signaled in the

Generalconditionsofsale when i install Maverick, and thus it was no my problem

the only solution Apple propose is to go back to Mountain Lion

do you know how to do that

thanks for help

Hello from Paris,

Like everybody here and in the world, I want, and I NEED the local USB sync on Mavericks.

I have, in my company 2 iPhone 3G, and we want to sync them with iTunes in USB. We can't do it anymore !!!

I also want to keep my data private and don't want to use iCloud or another cloud.

I was waiting the new iPhone for renew 3G iPhone but I think I will wait to see what happen with this USB sync.

Put back this fonctionality in the next update of Mavericks. Thank you.

Thank God... euh.. I mean Apple 😉, for restoring the local sync function back in the latest update of Maverick / Itunes. I am a happy camper!🙂
