How to make my iphone sync with my Mac Book Pro without icloud

My iphone no longer syncs with Mac Book Pro now that I have downloaded Maverick.  It just flicks open synching and flicks on to say "waiting for change to be applied" before it closes it's attempt at syncing and does nothing.  I have read elsewhere it is because Maverick wants us to use icloud but I don't want to sync my contacts and calendar on icloud as it is not secure enough with the confidential information I have on my calendar and in contacts.   I just want to make sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer as well as my calendar saying the same thing on my iphone as well as my Mac.   My Mac calendar is the most up to date version at the moment and when I go out to meetings I want my iphone to be up to date too. All help appreciated in solving this syncing problem. Thanks

Plug yr iPhone to your compu in the old fashioned way with cable.
Just to cover yourself...select the iPhone in Devices of left pane of iTunes window, then on main pane, select radio button Back up to Computer. Right click on the iPhone in devices, do a backup. It shld then be on your compu'.
Then, back in main windo, select Info 'tab' from top of the right pane, and tick the Sync iCal events.
I'm sure this will help.
If it all goes pear-shape, u have the backup to restore the pre-sync device.

    Thanks but this is not what I am looking for.  I am looking for the settings - setting that allows our iphone to auto sync with your mac book when you make a puchase on either device.
    You aren't going to sync with my MacBook when I make a purchase.
    And you are not going to autosync your iPod with the MacBook unless you tell it to sync or plug it in.
    You can enable Automatic downloads when you make a purchase.
    iTunes settings > Store.
    When you make a purchase, it will automatically download that purchase to devices set up the same way.
    This is not the same as autosyncing your device to your computer (as you first asked).

    It was telling you that you needed Mac OS 10.6.8 or later, not itunes 10.6.8
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later"

  • Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

    Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
    thanx

  • I can't synchronise iphone 6 with my mac book pro

    I'm trying to synchronise all the events and pics i have on my mac book pro on the iphone 6 but it doesn't work.
    It says still at the 5th passage on 5 but i waited 3 hours and nothing charge as cracked.
    So i removed the synchronisation about the pictures totally and so no pics on the phone. I tried to synchronise only some of the events but still the same problems.
    Some ideas?
    All the updates are done and there is enough space.
    thanks
    Giada

    I tried that but the only thing I can find is contents insurance when I don't want that, I'm looking just for insurance to solely cover my macbook pro. I have tried direct line and others but they can't help.
    This is actually harder than I thought and quite frustrating! Arrghh! I'll have to keep looking I guess. Surprised no one else has had this issue.

  • How to play 5.1 audio with my Mac Book Pro Retina?

    I recently received several DVD's that have 6 channel LPCM 24/192 and 24/96 sound.  I have tried many alternatives  but to no success.  I will appreciate any suggestions...  Sincerely,  Joe Ray Skrha [email protected]

    How are you ripping the video and audio from the DVD?  You can't import stuff from a video DVD into an NLE without converting it to a workable format.  If you use something that will give you ProRes files, and the audio is surround sound, FCPX will edit surround sound natively.  As for playing it back in surround sound, you'd need a USB interface that connects to a surround sound system.

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

    I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
    My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
    Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
    What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • HT1338 I cant get my iphone 5 to be compatible with my mac book pro. I've been trying to update my itunes but it wont let me because it tells me i dont have the right software is there anything that I can do so I can sync my phone to computer?

    I cant get my iphone 5 to be compatible with my mac book pro. When I plug the iphone 5 in it tells me that i need a newer version of itunes 10.7 and I currently have 10.6. I checked for updates in my itunes and it says i dont have any. So i have gone to the itunes website to try and redownload itunes which i believe it 11.7. When I try and download that version it tells me the software on my computer doesn't suppor that version. I try to update my software and it says there is not software updates available right now.  Is there anyway I can get my iphone 5 to synce to my itunes?

    In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

    You don't. It only sync using iTunes.
    It doesn't "pair".
    and my ue speaker
    What is "ue speaker"?
    Ultimate Ears wirless bluetooth speaker?
    Set speaker to Pairing mode.
    On the iPhone, Settings > BlueTooth.
    Select the speaker.
