After Prism scandal: Urge to sync data (Notes / Reminders) over USB and NOT with iCloud

Hello!
After the PRISM scandal I even want so much more to sync ALL relevant data between iOS and Mountain Lion Apps over iTunes (USB or WLAN).
I am very disappointed in the (still) missing choice of means of sync for some data.
Or am I missing something?
Is there a possiblity to sync notes and reminders between a Mac and an iPhone over iTunes (USB)?
If there isn't any:
I don't understand, why you can choose for most of the data,
but not for notes and reminders.
Here the data you have the choice to sync over iTunes (USB or WLAN):
> apps
> calendar
> contacts
> music
> playlists
> movies
> videos
> podcasts
> books
> photos
Here the Data you don't have a choice. If you want to sync them,
you have to do it over the Internet and iCloud:
> notes
> reminders
I am the only one, using my Mac Pro and my iPhone.
I don't need over the air / Internet syncing for most personal data.
I don't want to share more informations than necessary over the Internet or / and iCloud because of
> Security,
> my data cap of my mobile provider and
> control of my data.
> PRISM
Many big companies like Amazon, Sony, Valve and others had problems with hackers.
And even I trust Apple very much, Apple can't promise absolute security of data saved in iCloud.
To have the choice to sync things over iCloud is fantastic.
To be forced to sync things only over iCloud / Internet is worrying and disturbing.

The PRISM-Scandal is proof to me, that my wish isn`t dated at all ...

Is this is a new iPhone that had never been synced with iTunes on any computer - the first time this iPhone was connected to iTunes on this computer which has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device?
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
If you choose the former, the Camera Roll on the new iPhone is replaced with the Camera Roll contents included with the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device.
Syncing with iTunes alone does not touch the iPhone's Camera Roll.

I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information.

You can only import photos/videos via USB and the camera connection kit.

It is possible to charge an iPad3 over USB and transmit data over USB at the same time?

Hello,
it is possible to charge an iPad3 over USB and transmit data over USB at the same time?
If yes, how?
Thanks
Best regards

OK!?
That is right that the USB data oins are not connected to +5V pin.
But i found a description for a self built power supply for iPad.
http://timothyb.net/DIY_iPad_2_USB_Charger.html
and
https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/262610?goto=2726627#2726627
The description say: data pin D- need a voltage level of 2V and D+ 2,857V
when the data pins have this special voltage levels and VCC has +5V only then the iPad is charging.
The voltage "D+/D- coding" is the key for the iPad to charge.
OK now back to my problem.
The regular USB data pin voltage level is 0,3 - 3.,0 voltage. When the iPad is charging the data pins have this special voltage level. Now i try to transmit data over the usb data pins with the. Normaly the USB port transmit the data with a voltage level of max. 3V.
And here my problem. The higher voltage level at the data pins cares therefor that the iPad stop the charging.
Is that correct?

Can I back up stored docs, emails and notes from my iPad -- and not just music and photo's, etc?

I see how I can store the latter -- but not the former. And I don't care whether it's to the cloud or to a hard drive, etc.
Thanks!

If you are using iCloud, you don't need to back up these items because they are synced with your iCloud account.

I can convert almost things multiple times at the same time including CMYK to RGB (or sRGB), but not RGB to CMYK and not brighten/contrast. How?

If you want a relevant answer you may have to elaborate on what you actually mean. Posting screenshots might help, too.
In any case multiple conversions of an image are not advisable in general.

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

I connect my Macbook 13" to my thunderbolt to display on my HD television but it keeps asking for a KeyChain password for "user-hp". My key keychain password is nothing but it does not want to accept and not display my screen to the Television. Suggestion

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

On restart Launch Pad, Reminders, App Store and Notes appears back on Dock

I have installed Mountain Lion and loving most of the features.
I am using the five finger pinch shortcut on the trackpad to get to the Dashboard.
Its a great feature so now I have deleted all my apps on the dock.
Instead I have put my many folders on the dock.
However, on restart of my macbook pro the Launch Pad, Reminders, App Store and Notes appears back on dock
Is there a way I can switch this annoying push to have to use Apple apps on the dock?

I noticed it sometimes happened when I am on Lion.
I don't use all the Apple software, and some never even opened them to use.
But they end up back on my dock again which is super annoying.
