Need to sync Notes and Reminders Without iCloud to maintain confidential information

Does anyone have a way to sync Notes & Reminders WITHOUT using iCloud? Directly through USB cable or my home network would be good. Can't Apple understand that users may not want to send confidential information into the Cloud???

With a backup maintained for your iTunes library along with all other important data stored on an external hard drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only, losing all iTunes content on your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on another computer would be avoided.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only including paid and free apps. First you need to authorize the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

Does Mountain Lion Server sync Notes and Reminders?

I'm thinking of upgrading a server and wanted to know if Mountain Lion would sync Notes and Reminders like iCloud does in Mountain Lion? I'd like to stay out of the "Cloud" as much as possible... "Cloud" just means "someone else's servers" and since we have our own, why in the world would we use someone else's when we can use our own.... if we can (and then there's the entire issue of privacy, but I digress).
Thanks,
-Werner

Open the notes application on your phone. On the top left of the screen select "Accounts." Your notes have probably been saved to the folder "on my iphone." In order for them to sync with your other devices you need to copy your notes from the folder "on my iphone" to "icloud"
Hope this helps!

Why can I no longer sync iCal and contacts without iCloud?

I dont use iCloud basically because by doing so all your data - specifically your contacts and calendar - gets uploaded to an Apple server where it sits for ever. If you decide you want to stop using iCloud (like you decide for some weird reason to use windows instead...or you move somewhere where there's no internet - its possible) it deletes your data from the device you have unsubscribed from. This basically means once you are on iCloud there is no going back. Apple basically acts as if it owns you and your data and inorder to access it (excude me but my calender and contacts list belongs to me) its obligitory to use Apple and iCloud...if you dont it gets deleted and is gone for ever.
So I sync via USB/WiFi...but now after 'upgrading' to Mavericks this option is no longer permitted? You MUST use iCloud.....WHY?? - I dont want to!
I run a business and use iCal to make all my business bookings - these used to sync easily between my iPad and my iMac. Now it doesnt unless I hand over the rights to all my data for all enternity to Apple inc.
This is my stuff and it doesnt belong to Apple - I want to keep it that way
How can I sync iCal and Contacts without signing away ownership of my diary and contacts to Apple?
Am I going to have to ditch my Mac?? Why wasnt this more widely publicized??
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
Here is one way

Here is another

Here is yet another
If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

ITunes no longer syncs "Notes" and "Reminders" to the iPod.

I bought a new MacBook Pro and I find iTunes no longer has that option. Is that correct?

Just today I noticed the same thing (song not advancing on completion of prior song) in both playlists and the main library.
I also apparently have no genius results for any song in my library now and iTunes DJ is only showing two albums, no matter how many times I refresh it.
It has to be something basic that I'm overlooking, I hope.

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

My iphone 5 has been deleting my calendar. This is the third time- now it deletes my contacts, notes and reminders as well. Why is it doing this, and how can I restore everything?

My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.

Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.

HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone.

How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone. This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5. You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

Lost contacts, notes and reminders

HI! Today I lost contacts, notes and reminders on my iPhone. I checked on my iCloud account and everything is there, then I checked iCloud settings on my iPhone and all options are off except for Find My iPhone. I did not turn on everything because I am worried that I could lose information on iCloud. How can I restore my contacts, notes and reminders to my iPhone from my iCloud account?

Hello jguevara.diaz ,
I see why you did not want to turn those on. Fortunately, you will not lose your information on iCloud by turning ON contacts, notes and reminders.
Have a good one!

Recovering Notes and Reminders from Time Machine Backup

There doesn't seem to be any consistency for how Time Machine recovery works with apps. With some apps, like mail, if you're in mail when you enter Time Machine, you actually see your old (backed-up) versions of mail from which you can simply recover an email message. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and Notes and Reminders are now their own apps. If I open Time Machine with either Notes or Reminders on the screen, TM opens with a Finder window. Is there any way to recover individual Notes or Reminders (as in mail) through TM? Or, is there a way to recover an entire Notes database from TM?
Thanks,
John

First run Time Machine to make a current backup of all your files.
Next, make a backup of your current notes by mailing them to yourself.
Then backup Reminders using
Reminders > File > Export...
To restore Notes and Reminders from Time Machine:
- Login to iCloud.com.
- Notes.
- Mail each note to yourself as a backup.
- Quit iCloud.
- Reminders > File > Export...
- Turn off wi-fi.
- Quit Notes.
- Option-Go > Library > Containers .
- Enter Time Machine.
- Select a date.
- Restore com.apple.notes .
- Restore com.apple.reminders .
- Start Notes.
- Start Reminders.
- Turn on wi-fi.

Syncing Notes and Bookmarks????

When I click on my Device in iTunes and then on the "info" tab, there is an "Other" section. How does this work. I sync wirelessly and backup to iCloud. I would like to enter notes on my Mac and on my iPhone and keep them both in sync. How do I set the "Other" settings? Thanks.

This page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059 says (I havn't tried it though) :
iBooks will automatically remember where you left off each time you close a book or return to your Home screen. Tap the bookmark icon in the upper-right corner to bookmark a specific page. Wirelessly sync your Bookmarks, Highlights, and Notes with your other devices using your iTunes Store account by tapping Settings > iBooks > Sync Bookmarks > ON.

Manually sync Notes and Safari bookmarks via USB cable for iOS device and an iMac with MacOS 10.7 Lion and iTunes 11

"I'm aware that with MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion there is no support for USB cable sync of iOS devices." Notes and Safari Bookmarks cannot longer be sync via USB cable with iTunes. For owners of iPhone 3G that cannot upgraded the device to a version higher than iOS 4.2, syncing Notes and Safari Bookmarks via usb cable with iTunes is the only option we have. There is no iCloud integration for Notes and Safari Bookmarks under iOS 4.2. I'm not updating to MacOS 10.8, because there is no way to sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks via cable. So I won't be able to sync those anymore unless I upgrade to a newer model of iPhone. I'm not into a new hardware investment, at least not for now. I just want to know if iTunes 11 running in MacOS 10.7 Lion still have the functionality of sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks via USB cable.

Mac OS 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.0.4.

I want to confirm if "other" still appears with iTunes 11 and MacOS 10.7 for sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks:
Yes.
If you are sincing Notes via iCloud, iTunes will tell you so.
If you change the iDevice - Settings> iCloud > Notes - Off, they sync (or not sync) thru iTunes (either wifi or cable).
So my question now would be:
Is "Notes" manual sync checkbox option provided under "Others" in iTunes 11.0.1 with MacOS 10.7 Lion?
If you change the iDevice - Settings> iCloud > Notes - Off, then yes.

Is there a way to specify sorting in Notes and Reminders in IOS 7?

Is there a way to specify a sorting order in Notes and Reminders in IOS 7? Although Notes and Reminders now sink with Outlook (via an Exchange server,) they seem to appear in a random order.

If you're on an iPhone and you pull down on the unsorted reminder list, it exposes a Search box and an alarm clock. If you select the alarm clock, it puts the reminders in ascending chonological order grouped by date -- e.g., "Today", "Thursday, September 26", etc. with the caption "Scheduled" at the top.
