Syncing fotos without iCloud

hi
I used to keep my fotos on my mac and sync the iPhoto lib with my iphone. now syncing is possible a) via iCloud, or b) syncing a directory (not the foto library).
I have two options:
dump all my fotos into files
or buy iCloud space vor 4$ p.m.
Is there a way to go the old way? just syncing out of my foot lib to my phone?
thanx
sfr

Yes, if you keep the new iCloud options turned off, iTunes will sync the photos just like before. I did this yesterday, and it works, but requires that you reset the photo download folders option, so that all existing photos are deleted on the iPad and re-downloaded.
There are options to sync photos from files or from Photos. I chose to keep syncing from files so don't know how it works to sync from Photos, but you probably will have to create folders for the photos that you want do download unless you have room to download all of them.

Sync contacts without iCloud

My G5 with OSX 10.5.8 can't be upgraded further and is my main computer. Is there a work around to sync my iPhone 4 with address book contacts and calender without using iCloud? Is there a third party software that lets contacts and calendar events to be sync? P/S a newer computer is in the works but not just yet.

Sync using iTunes instead.

Syncing contacts without Icloud

I have zero interest in Icloud... I have different things on my Iphone than on my computer and on and on..bla bla bla I don't want the phone syncing with Icloud and often shut off the access to the phone when traveling and such for security reasons.. isn't there a way that I can just transfer my contacts and mail info only when plugged into my computer anymore? geesh why would I WANT to use Icloud when i can just plug it in and it'll trandfer faster and safer?

With that sort of fear, you have no business with a smart phone or with one that connects to the internet in any capacity.
You darn sure don't speak for the millions of users out there.
I'm no "big exec" type but I have a Mac at home, personal iPhone, business iPhone, personal iPad, and business desktop PC at my office. I'm able to sync my business Exchange account email, contacts, calendar events, notes, and reminders over the air with my business PC, personal Mac at home, and with all iOS devices without needing to connect all iOS devices to my PC at work and to my Mac at home on a daily basis, and the same for my personal iCloud account that is accessed on all.
You mean to tell me what I do is unusual among the millions of users throughout the world and is only for the "big exec" types, and how about for those without a computer that use an iPad in its place along with an iPhone?
If you have a Mac running OS X 10.9, you are no longer able to sync contacts direct with the address book or contacts app via the iTunes sync process, and email account mailboxes and email has never been synced with iTunes and never will.

How do I sync Calendars without icloud?

Hi.
Thanks in advance for the help.
How can I sync my calendar and contacts between my iphone 4S with ios7 and my macbook with snow leopard (or if I update to Maverick, but don't want to due to touchpad limitations/changes) without using icloud? In order to save time, I will never use icloud even if I have to stop using my iphone and go to another phone.

Hi.
Everything appears to sync, but my iphone calendar will not update my macbook calendar. it goes to the other way, from macbook to iphone, but not from iphone to mac. (This is with itumes.)
I'll check on using one of the others, though.
Thanks.

Can't sync Reminders without iCloud?

Really? For something as basic as Reminders (i.e. To-Do's) you are forced to use iCloud and can't sync through iTunes?
Really??
I have no intention of ever using iCloud for any kind of Sync, and it seems just odd to me that it Reminders can't be synced through iTunes where you an sync everything else (notes, etc)...
I assume I am not missing anything? Otherwise, I'm sticking with my 3rd party To-Do lists.

It is the case that you must sync your iPhone with iCloud in order to get Reminders to appear on iCal. IMHO a retrograde step.
I'll keep using Toodledo's OTA iCal subscription feature, whereby items entered on your iPhone, when synced OTA to your Toodledo account, will appear in the Reminders list in iCal (as a pulled subscribed calendar; you can't edit these items in iCal).

ITunes: where is the option to sync music without iCloud ????

I have 3000+ songs in my iTunes account on my mac Mini
I upgraded to iO6 and now, the only option I have to sync my music that I see is with iCloud. I no longer have an option to sync the music on my computer directly to my iPhone.
iClould doesn't work at 41,000' with no wi-fi and no cell service, or when I am camping in remote areas.
Where is the option in iTunes to sync music from a computer to a iPhone or other device?
Thanks for the help folks.

Thanks sberman.
I have iTunes 10.7 (21)
I don't have Mountain Lion, and there is no option to "Sync Music" when I plug my iPhone in. I have had a Powerbook G4 since 2005, and have being using iTunes since 2005 with multiple iPods, iPhones.
There simply isn't an option to sync my music with my iPhone 4S.
I do see the ability to sync contacts, photos, but when I click on the music tab under iTunes, I see this image:
I have never seen this option before and would love to see the option to "Sync All Music", "Syn All Playlist" and "Sync Selected Playlists" or whateve the old screen options where.
Do you really think this is a iOS 10.7.5 issue vs 10.8 (Mountain Lion)?
Thank you very much for your replies.

Need to sync Reminders without iCloud.

Hi, all.
I just upgraded to ML and one of the reasons I did it was to use Reminders and Notes.
After trying to figure out how to sync Reminders between my Mac and iPhones I decided to post this question. I need to sync Reminders but can't use iCloud to do it. How can I sync Reminders using either the connecting cable or Wi-FIn?
Thanks in advance.

Probably iTunes. It's the app to use for Calendars, at least.

Sync reminders without iCloud?

It would appear from everything I have tried and read, that you still cannot sync reminders from your Mac to an iPod via the USB cable. If I am wrong in this assumption, please explain how to accomplish this task. I am running 10.7.2 and iOS 5.0 on my 4G iPod.
Thanks,

Syncing devices without icloud

My iPad2 has my most up to date contacts, calendar. I want to now update a new iphone5 via our Mac. I not want to use iCloud if at all possible. Plus at this point i do not want any iTunes or iPhotos to be loaded onto the phone from the Mac.

I want my iPad to update the mac contact list, because the iPad has the correct info. Right now that isn't happening when I connect the two devices. Then I want the. newly updated info to go from the Mac to my iphone.
I really don't understand the Apple operating systems so please be very detailed when replying. Thank you!!!!!!

Sync Notes without iCloud

on Maverick, is it possible again to sync Notes with iTunes?

I doubt that iTunes 10.8 will be installable on 10.9. Even if you get it installed the 'sync services' framework was removed so Mavericks wouldn't be able to sync anything.
Sorry I think 10.8 is the answer until a third party release a solution for 10.9. Eltima claim to be working on one.

HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 computer) with my iPhone 5c without iCloud?

How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 64 bit computer) with my iPhone 5c without iCloud?

You would sync Outlook via iTunes on the computer. Connect the iPhone to the computer, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes running, select the iPhone in iTunes and it will display the Summary page. Select the Info tab, and there you would select what you want to sync calendar and contacts to. Make sure since this is the first time you have done a sync that whichever of the devices is new to the sync process has at least one unique contact/calendar event to get iTunes to prompt you for a merge or replacement. You can see this support document for help in setting up initial syncing. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?

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?

Ios8 without iCloud Drive impacted iCloud syncing

I installed ios8 on an iPad Without iCloud Drive. It's now not fully syncing with my ios7 iPhone.
For troubleshooting I created test Note, Calendar, Contact and Reminder entries on my iPhone and only the Note entry synched from the iPhone to the iPad.
From my online research I didnt see any reference to where it would be an issue in synching between ios7 and ios8 if iCloud Drive hasnt been installed. I havent installed it but am having synch problems.
Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.
steve

It looks like my problem has been fixed and I've been able to synch bidirectionally between the ipad and the iphone for Notes, Reminders, Contacts and Calendar.
In ios7 and after the upgrade to ios8 but before doing the sign out I just did, when I went into Settings and looked at iCloud under the far left Settings column my Apple Id was displayed immed under Settings.
So I just signed out of the Settings>iCloud Apple Id. When I went to sign back in I 1st had to enter my iCloud Id. I went to iCloud.com Mail to figure out what that was, and signed in with it. There was also a field after that to enter my Apple Id but after it verified my iCloud ID it skipped that and I was done.
Now when I go into into Settings and look at iCloud under the far left Settings column my iCloud Id is displayed immed under Settings.
This set up changed from ios7 to ios8 - it's changed from the Apple Id to the iCloud id.
Thanks so much for your guidance; I couldn't have done this without your assistance.
Steve
