criticism

With the introduction of Mavericks, Apple only planned to synchronize appointments and addresses between the iPhone or iPad and the computer via the iCloud, whereas previously this was also possible via USB. The synchronization of appointments and addresses therefore requires a WLAN connection. As of version 10.9.3, synchronization via USB was reintroduced under iTunes 11.2.
