I have now got local syncing up and running with CalDAV and CardDAV servers on my own MacBook running Mavericks without needing internet access to enable syncing using a combination of Barney-15E's together with some adjustments for my own specific situation which I have. My only outstanding problem is this: I have some contacts and calendars which are synced through Google for others to access. Previously all this 'public' syncing was handled by my laptop, and my phone was then kept in sync with my laptop via Sync Services, which could be done even when I had no internet access. Now, however, as far as I can tell, those contacts and calendars which need to be publicly synced can only be kept in sync between my laptop and iPhone when I have internet access. Ideally I would choose to do all my syncing between phone and laptop on a local basis and then let my laptop keep the public contacts and calendars up to date when I have internet access. As far as I can see this can't be done when the local syncing goes through the CalDAV/CardDAV server method since calendars and contacts can only be answerable to one server. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Does it need a separate thread? Another option discussed is a lighter option. Some technicals skills are required.

This would involve using own web server on a networked computer, or on a personal computer, and installing ownCloud (mentioned before) to synchronize contacts/calendars and more. The footprint and overhead is much smaller than using OSX Server. The requirements are as follows: 1. You need to have your local WLAN, or access to one to synchronize your idvices with your Mac.

It can be your home network, some public network (security?), or your personal hotspot like MiFi (no cell/data connection required). You do not need Internet connection to sync, just the means to interconnect your Mac/server and your idevices. Install MAMP on your networked or personal computer: MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your Mac OS X computer, be it MacBook or iMac Furthermore, if MAMP is no longer needed, it is sufficient to delete the MAMP folder and everything returns to its original status (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the 'normal' OS X). Install ownCloud Server 5 on the same computer, and clients on Mac(s) and idvices: More info about calendar/contacts sync under ownCloud: From what I read, you can use server based Calendar and Contacts using ownCloud client apps, or synchronize between your Mac and idvices apps. The latter is the goal of this exercise.

Your master calendar/contacts data will reside in your own cloud on your own computer. I will try this when I get back home in two weeks.

Meantime any comments, especially those based on the first hand experience would be appreciated. Let's try to not make this thread the monster that the other one is please. No point referring to posts there as it is full of vitriol and users like me would just like a workable solution. @ thanks so much for your links and I will be studying them carefully. I have a Blackberry 9780 and loved my Address Book and iCal sync with my BB mobile. That is gone, forever; so either I set up a Snow Leopard partition to continue syncing, or I move on to an iOS phone, or I study your solutions and move on. A little diversion for a good cause and perhaps a bit of good news.

Re: How to locally sync an iPhone with OS X Mavericks? ICloud is NOT an option. Created by in OS X Mavericks - I came upon this thread after encountering a sync bug in 10.8.5.

It's not the first time I've had issues with the SyncServices framework in 10.8.x. In previous releases it worked very well. I have filed a bug but I'm not holding out hope that Apple will fix it any time soon, considering their removal of SyncServices in 10.9. I, too, would prefer not to have to use a 'cloud' service to sync between my computer and phone. Instead, I am investigating the possibility of writing my own software to do the sync between calendars on the iOS device and on the computer. I'm not looking to rewrite SyncServices.

What I'm thinking of writing would only sync between the Apple Calendar and Contacts, and iOS. Anyone interested in buying such an application? Just trying to gauge interest before I spend a bunch of time on it. Check this post regarding development of local sync app and reply there if interested. Good man that Hax0r 🙂 - would not help me much as he is only writing it to support iOS devices, which I do not have. My best bet would be to apportion a part of my drive for an OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) installation and use that to sync my Blackberry and Address Book & iCal (now called Contacts & Calendar). Every time I sync, I will have to export and import into Contacts and Calendar!

But when I grow up and buy an iOS device I would definitely subscribe to his software 🙂 Thanks again for the heads up! OK I've previously installed. It was easy to do. In MAMP's Preferences I have set Start/Stop to start servers when starting MAMP, and in the Apache tab I have set my Document Root to be /Users/myusername/Sites.

In System PreferencesUsers & GroupsmyusernameLogin Items I have set MAMP to be launched at login. I've now downloaded ownCloud 4.5.13 and followed the installation instructions in the.

I am slightly concerned to read under: ' This section of the manual needs to be revised.' However, I have followed the instructions there, and step 5 has taken me to the web setup page where I have created an account with user name and password. Then I went to Calendar, and from the Calendar menu chose Add Account In the dialog that followed I chose Add CalDAV Account. I chose Account Type Manual and put in the username and password I used when setting up the ownCloud account.

For the URL I followed the and put: substituing 'localhost:8888/ownCloud' for the address, and my ownCloud username for the username. (If I just used 'localhost:8888' for the address it produced the message: ' The URL myusername/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct.' .) So far I am semi-sucessful. It has created a Http://Localhost:8888/Owncloud account on Calendar in which I have been able to creat a test calendar and an event. I have also deleted the event, but Calendar will not let me delete the calendar. Once I inserted a second calendar the Delete command became available, but failed with this notice: ' myusername/ is not a location that supports this request.'

A retry deleted the name of the calendar, but left it otherwise intact. The account now has a grey triangle next to it which when clicked produces the following: 'The request (CalDAVCalendarSplitDualTypeCalendarQueueableOperation) for account “Http://Localhost:8888/Owncloud/Remote” failed.' I think this may be resolved by an ownCloud setting.

I will see if I can track this down. Has anyone here got any thoughts? I'm sorry I seem to be unable to prevent the editor from creating clickable links from the URLs I am posting Message was edited by: James Richards. I am now moving on to looking at. D oes anyone know if it matters whether I use the Flat Package or the Regular Package to download on to my Mac? Does it make any difference to what is eventually installed.

Later on I know I will hit questions with the detailed adjustments I need to make, and matching them to the specific nature the Apache installation on Mavericks. If anyone here knows the answer to my first question, I'd be grateful for the answer, and even more grateful if anyone else has manged to set this up and can help me with step by step instructions.
