Syncing without using iCloud

Ok this may be a dumb question but since I got the 5 and having issues with it skipping to a song instead of playing the one I want. When I try and create a ACC version of the song to test it I get the message saying I can access my music over the cloud. Can I sync without the cloud? if so how. I am not connected to the wifi or anything if that matters.

Hello LR700,
It sounds like you are looking to sync data with iTunes. The latest version of iTunes utilizes iCloud for syncing calendar information:

  • 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

    How can i sync my calendar in Outlook 2007 with iTunes 11.1.3.8 WITHOUT using iCloud?

    your link shows how to sync, i know how to do that.
    i specifically wanted to sync my outlook calendar with my phone, not my outlook calendar with icloud calendar.
    apparently you have to go into setup on phone and tell phone not to sync calendars with icloud so you can get choice to sync phone via itunes.
    thanks anyways for trying.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • Syncing contacts with iTunes without using iCloud

    Since the new iTunes Version 11.1.3 it seems not possible to sync contacts, browser bookmarks and other things via WLAN sync. I don't want to see my contacts on Apple servers in order to be synced via iCloud.
    Is there any possibility to sync an iPhone with iTunes without using iCloud. I'm quite angry Apple not leaving the decision on how to sync my iPhone up to me.

  • Can I download music to my iPhone directly from my computer- WITHOUT using iCloud?

    Does anyone know how to download music from iTunes on your computer onto your phone without using iCloud?  It used to be that I would just plug in my phone, hit sync, and all the music I wanted (which I had selected in iTunes on my computer) would be added to my phone's music library.  Easy peasy.  Now, none of the music actually gets downloaded to the phone- if I'm connected to wi-fi, I can access all those selected songs through the cloud, but if I'm not, then the songs are grayed out in my playlists.  Each song has a little cloud icon next to it, and I can download the songs by tapping that… one at a time.  I talked to Apple support and they told me to go into the iTunes store app and select "download all," which I did try, but given the quantity of songs I have, and the rate at which things were going, it would have taken forever to get them all downloaded.  I have thousands of songs I like to have on my phone, and the point is to be able to listen to them in places without wi-fi (like my car, or on a hike, or an airplane); it is SUPER annoying that I can no longer quickly download all of those songs by simply connecting my phone to my computer.  I have searched high and low in these forums and I can't seem to find a solution; I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer. 
    Some details:  I have an iPhone 6, and I use iTunes on my Mac, and all of my software on both is up to date.  I do not subscribe to iTunes Match, so turning that off (as has been recommended elsewhere) is not helpful to me. 

    Thanks, but I should have clarified:  I already have USB syncing set up with iTunes on my Mac and have been adding music to my iPhone for years that way; now with the latest IOS, it no longer appears to be working.  I follow the exact steps I always have (and which are outlined in the link provided), but no actual music is downloaded to my phone- if I am not connected to a wi-fi network, I cannot listen to my music unless I download it from iCloud.  (And downloading it from iCloud is a laborious task because I have many songs.)

  • How to use "find my phone" without using iCloud

    How to use “find my phone” without using iCloud?
    Previously, when I used my mobile me account I was not forced to use iCloud.  Is there a way around this?

    Just ignore any prompts you get. Don't click the move to iCloud button and don't visit me.com/move. Just keep using mobileme as you have been.
    The ONLY clickable button is "Open iCloud.com".  I have NO other options. (Using Mac OS on a MacPro)
    ( somehow my reply was marked as a correct answer, I did not do this, and I can find a way to remove it.)
