USB cable sync

Given that Mavericks forces one to use iCloud to sync iPhones w/ Macs, is there a 3rd party calendar/contact app that would enable usb cable synching?

Not to date. Other than iCloudhe only options are reinstalling the backup of your previous system
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
or else setting up your own local server

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.

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.

Can I sync a MacBook Pro to my iMac.......like syncing my iPhone or iPod Touch...using a common USB cable?

Hullo all.
Am curious to know whether I can, on a regular basis, sync my new MacBook Pro to my main machine, the 27 inch iMac?
Obviously I do this with my iPhone, iPad2 and my iPod Touch.
I guess I would use a USB to USB cable...which I have, to allow the two Mac's to talk to each other.
Any suggestions? I do have Chronosync...should I try this application?

ps, I did buy the new iPad2 and love it...but, for all its brilliance , it is not a MBP......obviously!
So, I bought a new one to the one I sold a few months back, and it is fabulous, got a 500 gig machine this time!

Comment was an after thought! But it might help explain my situation!

Hi all, a bit surprised at total lack of feedback!
Maybe with the Cloud coming, we don't need to worry about manually syncing devices!!
So, can I conclude that you can't really 'sync' a MacBook to an iMac?
Appreciate an answer
Thanks

When syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen. have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.

when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen. have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing. Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in. Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

I had done all of that to no avail. I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again. I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped. Everything is good to go again. thanks for your reply

Since downloading IOS 7.0.4 my iPhone will no longer sync using USB cable because of "Error -50"?????

Why, after installing IOS 7.0.4 will my iPhone only sync with my MacBook Pro using wi-fi and NOT when using the USB cable? An error message appears citing "Error -50" for which I can find no recent fix online as all the problems are related to some years ago?

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

Try here:

If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Syncing Outlook w/ USB cable very slo-o-ow

This is the second time I'm syncing the Q10 with MS-Outlook directly conected to the computer using a USB cable.
The first time (3 days ago ) when I synced it was quite slow. But I assumed it was because it was the first time I had synced it (one way only, computer to device).
It's now been over a half hour and the Q10 sync has not finished syncing and simply repeats a slow moving progress bar with the text "Getting status information from BlackBerry Calendar" over and over. As soon as the progress bar reaches the far right (100%?) it re-starts again from 0.
I previously owned an 'antique' BlackBerry Pearl that synced the same Outlook account in less than 10-15 minutes.
Is this normal behaviour? If so, are there third-party apps that work (a lot) faster?

i have the same issue synching with my computer on windows 8.
From what I've read (+ the general silence to this thread) I assume it's something that we'll have to live with until BB comes up with a Link update to improve things. One hour to do what a 7-year old BB device could do in 5-10 minutes is definately not something anyone would consider normal behaviour. And I'm certainly not going to upload my personal data to any cloud based sync/storage if that's what's recommended by BB. Guess we'll just have to be patient ...

Tried to sync ipad2 with itunes and got an error and now ipad frozen with usb cable/arrow/itunes logo.

I'm trying to sync music from my itunes library on my PC to my ipad2. During process got an error(don't remember #) and then it went to backing up. Now the ipad is frozen with a usb cable coming up to a white arrow and then the itunes logo. The ipad will turn on and off but nothing else. Any ideas?

You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Enabling Wi-Fi sync without USB cable

Hi there,
is there a way to enable Wi-Fi sync without cable? I need this because my main work machine is actually VM and I can't find a way to connect my phone via USB to a VM. Can someone help me? I already lost a lot of hours trying everything to make it work but I'm lost without hope.

I don't quite understand your issue...in your initial post you state there is no way to connect your phone, by USB cable, to your work computer...now you're asking how to do so...
Sorry, but you've lost me here...

NEEDED "Hot Sync USB Cable for Palmone Zire 31 PDA"

I am looking for a Hot Sync USB Cable for a Palmone - Zire 31 PDA. I have searched the internet up and down yet, all places I've browsed are either out of stock or the item is out dated. Yes, I know that I've had it since 2005 but it is still in perfect working condition and I'm not going to rock the boat and buy an updated one when I have one already.
If there is someone out there who can assist me with locating the above referenced cable please let me know.

Hot sync usb cable

instructions on how to crank this puppy up say "press hot-sync button on usb cable". No gots! Musta been lost 08/05. Anyone know where to get?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Z does not have a cable with a hotsync button. The device does come with a screen tap for hotsync. It should look like two arrows going in a circle chasing each other. Connect the USB cable that came with this device and tap on this icon.

I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

I'm also having this problem.
In fact two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently.
1. iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac.
2. The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
Can anyone help?

HT1351 is there a way I can sync music to my iPod without using a USB cable?

Recently, my USB cable for my 4th Gen iPod completely broke. I have a new charger, but it's a socket charger. I want to sync some albums from my iTunes library on my laptop, but I don't have a cable to connect to my laptop. Is there any way I could sync the music from my library without a cable?
All help is appreciated!

If you read the original post like a good boy, you would see this girl doesn't have a USB cord. The link you sent requires a USB cord. Therefore YOUR reply is actually incorrect.
Set up syncing
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
Locate your iOS device.
If you're in the iTunes Store, click the Library button, then look for your device in the upper-right corner.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
She is looking for a way WITHOUT a USB cord. So actually, taking that into consideration, I'M right. At some point in no matter what you do, you need a USB cable AT SOME POINT.
Thanks.

Using the USB cable to sync my blackberry deletes all calendar entries older than 3 mos

I'm not very good at this kind of thing, so please pardon what I'm sure will be mistakes/omissions as I describe my problem.
Every time I sync my blackberry using the USB cable (I'm told by my boyfriend who is an IT guy that I can't sync it wirelessly although I don't know why), all of my calendar entries in Outlook get erased--that is, all the entries that are older than 3 mos. I frequently use those entries as reference so I can't lose them--so now I'm terrified to sync my blackberry.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Jenny

I just found this on the support page and am going to try it for a couple of days to see if it solves the problem:

Overview
When synchronizing the Calendar via the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, past calendar events are being deleted on the desktop calendar application.
Cause
Calendar items on the BlackBerry smartphone were deleted as a result of the keep appointments setting in the Calendar was set to delete older appointments.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, complete the following steps:
Task 1

Open the Calendar application on the BlackBerry smartphone and press the Menu key.
Select Options and then General Options.
Within General Options set the Keep Appointments options to Forever.
Task 2
Configure BlackBerry Desktop Manager calendar synchronization options:
