Is there an alternative method to sync Safari bookmarks without using iCloud? I am running the latest versions of Mavericks, iOS and iTunes.

Hi Mary ..
Afraid not but if you decide to use iCloud and you're iPhone is running iOS 8, (according to your profile), hold off until you can upgrade your Mac to Yosemite.

ITunes 11.1.3/iOS 7.0.3 how to sync (bookmarks, calendar, contacts) without using iCloud

Unfortunately we seem to have lost the ability to sync manually from a computer to a mobile device (iPad in my case) under iTunes 11.1.3/iOS 7.0.3. I am hoping and assuming that people at Apple will hear and see the need for it and correct this oversight in future updates.
Until then, is there a work-around for people like me who manage do not want to have their information stored on an iCloud server?
Thanks,
James

Thanks for the quick and useful reply Randers.
It will be good if (hopefully when) the functionality is returned to iTunes/iOS, but installing server is useful in the multitude of options that it opes up, so I followed your advice. I have my contacts syncing perfectly, but there is a problem with the calendar, so perhaps you can help please?
My working account is a standard user account, so I have had to use my admin account to set up the CardDAV and CalDaV servers. The problem is that the new calendar is blank. I'm probably missing something obvious, but how can I 'link' it to my calendars under my user account? There is no 'drag and drop' as there is for the contacts. If I try to set up a CalDAV service for my standard user account I get the error that the user cannot be verified.
Do you have any suggestions please?
Thanks,
James

How do I sync iPhone and Mac contacts (without using icloud)?

Hi,
The option to directly sync my iphone contacts with my Mac's seem to have disappeared from iTunes. Given that I haven't (and don't want to) upload my contacts to apple's icloud servers, how can I do a simple synchronization?
Thanks,
MIke

I believe it is. I'm not a Mac user, but if you were to search the forum, there have been a number of threads regarding Mavericks and syncing, so a search of those terms will more than likely yield results that discuss the server information. I remember reading information, but since it did not pertain to me, I did not retain enough.

Is it possible to replace my old macbook with an ipad2? I need to be able to sync it with my new iphone and reset it if necessary.

Is it possible to replace my old macbook with an ipad2? I need to be able to sync and reset the my new iphone with the ipad2 . Is this possible? The operating system of my old macbook is Mac OS X 10.4.11, which is incompatible with my iphone.

An iPad is just a very big iPhone without the ability to voice call people. Just like the iPhone you need to connect it to a computer with iTunes to activate it, sync it, and everything else.
There is no way to directly plug an iPhone into a iPad so you cannot sync to it.
The iPhone requires iTunes to sync with. The iTunes application on the iPad is actually just the iTunes Store and does not contain any drivers to allow another iDevice to connect to it.

I recently had to reinstall iTunes, and now it won't recognize my iphone so Im not able to sync my phone to iTunes. How do I fix this?

I recently reinstalled iTunes, and now it won't recognize my iphone so I'm not able to sync the phone with iTunes. How do I fix this?

It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

If you are indeed using 10.5.8 as indicated in your signature you will first need to upgrade to Snow Leopard; this is available in the Online Apple Store. You will then be able to uprade to Lion - again available in the Online Store where you will get a code to enable download from the App Store in Applications. This will enable you to use iCloud and run the latest iTunes.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ron

the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more

Need to be able to setup printing for my Ipad2. How do I find the instructions. THe printer is installed and capable, but I do not see it from either my iPad2 OR iphone 4. Please advise.

need to be able to setup printing for my Ipad2. How do I find the instructions. THe printer is installed and capable, but I do not see it from either my iPad2 OR iphone 4. Please advise.

1. Make sure you've updated the printer firmware and successfully printed the test sheet from the printer.
2. Make sure that your iPad is on the same network as your printer.
3. Try printing from an app. To print this page from Safari, for example, go to the rectangle with the right- facing arrow on the toolbar, choose Print from the drop down menu, select your printer, and click Print.
Printing in apps is usually under the rectangle-arrow symbol, but is also sometimes found under the wrench- "tools" symbol.

Is there a way to set an auto sync feature to icloud and windows contacts without using outlook or Windows live messenger just straight to windows contacts?

Need to sync icloud contacts to windows contacts without using outlook or windows live messenger on my pc, i have itunes and icloud fully set up on my pc and i have an ipad2. itunes setting for syncing to windows contacts is not working, nor will it sync to my gmail. I tried to get icloud to sync to my gmail, and thought that i could then sync my gmail to windows contacts, but icloud isn't syncing to gmail either. I configured it correctly, (or at least tried). I was able to copy the csv and all that, and do it manualy, but would like it to sync automatically. Please help.
using itunes new version (9/30/2012), on my windows 7 pc. My ipad2 is running ios 6.

No, you need Outlook.

I am brand new to the Ipad. I can't use ICloud unless I upgrade my 10.5 Leopard. Is there a way to sync documents created in Pages to the IPad without using ICloud?

Hello. I am a newbie to the Ipad. I am currently working with an OS 10.5 Leopard MAC. I understand that in order to use ICloud I would need to purchase OSX Snow Leopard and OSX Lion. I am attempting to avoid the expense and to the extent possible sync my IPad with my MAC. I have created documents on my MAC in pages. Is there a way to have access to those documents on the IPad without using ICloud.
A second question concerns web browsing, sometimes you'll open up a page or image and not know how to go back to the previous page. So do I just close and reopen safari altogether or is there another way to get to the previous page.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Actually you can use iCloud with the Mac running OS X 10.5.8. You don't sync the documents - you upload to or download them from iCloud.
You can open a browser on your Mac - Safari is preferred - log into icloud.com, enter your username and password, click on the iWorks icon, click on the Pages section at the top - and then you can drag documents into the browser window to upload files - and you can select a file in the cloud to download to the Mac. I do this on my iMac at work running Tiger 10.4.11. It's kind of slow - and you will get a warning that you may be using a supported browser - but it works.
In any event, you can use iOS file sharing to send the Pages docs to your iPad. you have to connect to the Mac and do this via iTunes.
iWork for iOS: About iTunes File Sharing
Just tap the arrows in the toolbar in Safari to go back and forth. You can open multiple pages using tabs. tap on the + sign to add another tab in Safari.

Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use. Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits syncing only by iCloud. Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes. I don't want to use iCloud. Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
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.
In the meantime - thanks for the work around

I am not able to access my contacts, calendar on icloud

I am not able to access my contacts, calendar on icloud. I get the message"unable to load...There was aproblem loading the application" Any ideas? I have an iphone 4 and am using Windows Vista. Had no problems before

Let's try the old classic reset, hold down the home button and screen lock button simultaneously until the screen goes black, and the apple logo appears then release.
If it still does not work or you have tried that, then:
1. Connect to your computer via USB.
2. Turn off iCloud backups and select backup to this computer.
3. Sync and backup.
4. Go to iCloud and delete your previous backups.
5. Turn on backup to iCloud in iTunes.
6. Backup to iCloud on your phone.
