A possible solution to WiFi Sync Issue

I started with this link:
http://www.imore.com/itunes-wifi-sync-not-working-ios-8-heres-how-fix-it
Now here is what I did:
Reset the network settings: Settings--> General --> Reset --> Reset Network Settings
After it finished resetting, I re-joined my home wireless.
Next, I connected to my Mac with a cable. There were "Do you want to trust this iPad/Computer" dialogs popping up on both sides.
Then I synced the device and made a change or tewo just to push content.
Then, when I unplugged, the device remained in iTunes rather than (as before) disappearing like devices used to do before wifi-sync.
This process reconnected both my iPad Air and my iPhone 5s.
Hope this helps.

OOOOOPS!
Let me CLARIFY:
This problem was NOT present with the ORIGINAL O.S. which came with my 2008 Macbook Pro. The problem started when I upgraded to Snow Leapard and seems to have ended with Lion.

ITunes Wifi Sync issue

Hi,
I canceled a wifi sync session (pressing the x in the area in which iTunes shows what it is currently syncing to/from my iPhone) and ever since doing so my iPhone is no longer recognised in iTunes.
It doesn't show up on the device list.
Things i tried:
1.     Quit iTunes (Finder > iTunes > Quit iTunes)
2.     Restart computer
          --> also restarted the iPhone before trying again
3.     plugging in the USB cable.
4.     Go to Preferences --> Devices --> option "prevent iPod, iPhone, iPad to sync automatically" isn't checked.
          --> Makes sense, since my iPad is connected and syncing properly. Double checked it anyway.
5.     Searched on Google: not finding anything useful. searched on words like: osx + itunes + wifi sync + not showing
System spec's:
iMac 27" 3,4 GHZ i7, 16GB ddr3, SSD. OSX Lion 10.7.2 installed. iTunes 10.5.2 (11) installed. Latest updates installed, completely updated.
How do i fix this issue ?

This Apple article might help ya out -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Is the Apple Mobile Device Service running?
You may want to try uninstalling the security software or following along with Apple's article.

IOS 6 and iTunes 10.7 WiFi Sync issues

WiFi sync works for a day or two then from the device is just keeps saying Looking for Mario Michela's iMac... I restart iMac, reboot iPhone and or iPad. connect via usb cable, uncheck WiFi Sync (apply), recheck WiFi Sync. It will work again for 2 or 3 days. Then starts to fail again.
I've tried using Eithernet and wifi on the mac (no difference)
I've tried turning off the firewall (no difference)
I've reset all setting on the iPhone (no difference)
I've reset SyncServices Folder (/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsy nc.pl full) -(No difference)
I've called Apple Care 3 times, I keep getting passed around because sync is between product departments.
iOS doesn't support desktop applications, iMac doesn't support mobile devices..
I'm hoping iTunes 11 fixes this issue.. This issue didn't occur prior to iTunes 10.7.

I am getting sync issues too (although on OSX) - seems like others are getting issues too:

Wifi Sync issue with Windows 7 64bit

Hi, having an issue with wifi sync for some reason. I am running Win 7 64bit, and I have tried everything on these forums with not luck. It is not my router because it works on another computer with no problem. I have enabled all ports, syncserver, etc. and nothing is working. I have done a complete uninstall, registry clean, and reinstall with no luck. I have noticed though on my computer when I check the box to allow my wifi sync to be enabled, all the box says is "Sync with this Iphone over....." It does not say "sync with this Iphone over wifi". The other computer I tried wifi sync with that worked said "sync with this Iphone over Wifi" Any thoughts on what would cause my itunes to not display the full message? I am using Itunes 10.6

I don't like using wifi sync at all. Even with my iMac often does not detect my iPhone or my iPad when they both have Wifi turned on all the time. Even when it does work the sync speed is pretty horrendous. Anyways I'd recommend physically plugging it in whenever you can. Save you some time and trouble.

ITunes Wifi Sync Issues

After updating my Mac to Lion & IOS5 on both iPhone & iPad, wifi iTunes syncing seemed to work fine for the iPhone but for the iPad it took forever (hours) every time.
It shows all my photos, songs, videos, etc. being loaded onto the iPad each time, even though I'd only made a change or two since the last sync. It was like it was restoring from backup or setting up a brand new device. On the iPhone it syncs in just a minute or two & only upates the changes.
Now, out of the blue, every time I try to sync the iPad, either on wifi or with USB cable, as soon as I connect the iPad it locks up iTunes.
I see everyone saying to turn off the wifi syncing in iTunes but I cannot get to the page where you set all your choices for syncing, song & photo transfer, etc. I can see the iPad in the Library but I cannot select it. As soon as I unplug the USB cable it shows the iPad option screen for a split second & then iTune is no longer frozen & works perfectly otherwise.
I have tried turning off wifi on both the iPad & Mac becasue it is only supposed to synce when they are both on the same wifi but it still shows my iPad in the Library list, even though it is not on wifi or connected to the Mac via USB.
I have also gone into the iTune Prefs & turned on the "Prevent devices from syncing automatically" switch & nothing works.
Any help on how I can get this thing to stop trying to sync via wifi & go back to the old USB way?
Many Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Update did not go well since Ipod could not be restored from back up due to back due to back up not being found. Backed up two days before just in case and still could not find back up.
Since updating to IOS 5.0, apps are startiong to sync and then time out but none of my music will sync over a wired connection.

Is it possible to use Wifi sync on a restricted university network?

Hi, I am having some trouble getting my Wifi sync with iTunes to work. I have a new Macbook Pro, and a iphone 4 on Verizon, both updated to the latest software. Both devices are connected to a restricted Wifi network at my university. When I go to the Wifi sync screen, it says "Sync will resume when (my Macbook) is available. I'm guessing my computer is seen as unavailable because it can't find it on the wifi network since there are thousands of other devices connected to the Wifi. Is there any way to set this up?
Thanks

I had exactly the same problem but with a windows machine. Hope this helps...After playing a bit I found out that my computer name contained a hypen. I renamed the computer in the properties to delete the hypen, restarted and now it syncs wirelessly like a charm!
Obviously something that apple overlooked which will probably right itself in the next release but should get you up and running fingers crossed!

Iphone wifi syncing issue with itunes 10.7

My wife and I each have iphone 4's syncing on our respective computers running Win XP Pro SP3. After upgrading to itunes 10.7 and iOS 6, itunes doesn't reliably sync via wifi. It will sync once then won't a second time unless the computer is rebooted. If I try and click the sync button on itunes, it looks for the displayed iphone then says it can't find it and the iphone disappears.This is happening on both computers. I can direct connect the iphone with usb cable and sync, but it won't sync via wifi without rebooting. I've click the "sync with wifi" button off then on. Nothing works.
We both upgraded to iphone 5's. It didn't solve the problem. I upgraded my computer to a new desktop running Win 8 Pro. Everything transferred fine and the initial sync went well, but the problem persists. After my iphone 5 sync'd with itunes overnight, the next morning it wouldn't sync again via wifi. Again, trying to initiate a sync from itunes caused the it to look for the iphone and not finding it, the iphone disappeared from itunes. Once I restarted Win 8 and itunes, the iphone showed up in itunes.
It's not the iphones(it happened with both 4's and 5's), the computers(two differnet computers) or, the OS( happens with Win XP and Win 8) so it's got to be an isssue with iTunes 10.7 and possibly it's interaction with iOS 6. We didn't have the problem before 10.7 and iOS 6 (upgraded same time).
Any suggestions? This is annoying to not have these reliably sync without intervention.
Thanks,
Z

Just found another thread that helped...deleted the iTunes Library Genius file and now the Mac can load the library!

Possible solution to Wifi problems after 10.4.10 update !!!!

Hi,
I dunno if this will help any of you, but here it comes:
I purchased the Airport 'N' enabler just a week before I upgraded to OSX 10.4.10. And - of course - after the OS update I had the similar issue with dropping Wifi connections and very slow speed, although (*Touch Wood*) I didn't have any Kernel Panics.
After updating to OS 10.4.10, System Profiler and Network Utility showed that I had the 'n' enabled, but the speed and (lack of) stability of the Wifi connection can only be described as 'Hair-ripping'.
Anyway, after reading through all the threads/topics of all you poor sods with similar problems and utilising somewhat 'hairy' workarounds with varying results, I realized that nobody actually tried to re-install the 'N'-enabler again; at least as far as I recall..
So, I simply installed the 'N'-enabler again AFTER updating to 10.4.10 !!! I was kind of expecting the installer to prompt me, saying that "this computer already has Airport Extreme 'N'-enabler installed" blah-blah.., but it didn't.
And now I have a very stable connection and MUCH faster download speeds as well !
So those of you who hasn't tried this yet, please do. It might work for you as well ... !!
Just me 2 cents
- "Go Lemmings, Go !" -

Still having the same problem. Repairing permissions did nothing to resolve it and even the 10.4.4 update did not help.
In addition to the intermittent freezing issue I still have the mouse icon problem.
Are there any Apple people monitoring these support discussions? Do they ever solve any problems?

Possible Solution To HP Printer Issues

I installed leopard on friday and have been having issues printing from my hp photosmart 1315. My computer was communicating with my printer (telling me i had low ink) but i was unable to connect. It kept saying "waiting for device." In order to fix:
1) make sure you have your printer folder (user: library: printer) backed up using time machine
2) delete the printer folder using SECURE empty trash
3) delete any printers u have set up using the printer and fax menu in system preferences
4) ((may not be necessary) i tested my computer and went through the entire setup on a cannon pixma mp600 printer---which worked
5) replace printer folder from time machine
6) reinstall printer using print and fax
7) attempt to print
message me with any questions

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and make your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
    This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
    first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here.
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
    printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
    Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
8. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.
Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?

Possible solution to close browser issues.....but am not sure how to acheive it

Hi there,
In an earlier post I was and still am having issues with the close browser window, but now I have thought of a solution that will do the job if I can get CP to mimic key strokes on a button press/click or using advanced actions, but I am not sure how to achieve this....
The idea is to have the ALT-F-X keyboard combo done when a button is clicked, which will then close the browser....
Does that sound achievable??
Cheers

Possible solution to iCal subscription issues.

Like many of you, I love using MobileMe with my iPhone but I miss my iCal subscriptions (Birthdays and US Holidays). I think I found a solution: I just downloaded iCalCopy (apple>downloads>system/disk utilities) and it worked like a charm! Simply select your subscribed calendar(s) and copy the info into an existing iCal calendar. It showed up on my phone in seconds. Great stuff!
Hope it works for all of you.

UPDATE: Okay, so as I mentioned that running kernel 3.10 with ipv6 (and powersaving) disabled it works, it isn't perfect, it loses connection every now and then, doesn't get any usable speeds and it randomly disconnects and requires a reauth, nothing major as it isn't exactly common (ugh, it's a major improvement over disconnects every two seconds)
This card is still awful though (on an unrelated note I still find it hilarious that the card works even worse in windows *rolls eyes* I blame microsoft)

Wifi syncing not working since upgrading to iOS 6

Has anyone had an issue with and found a solution to wifi syncing after upgrading to iOS 6? I have not been able to get either my iPhone 4 or 3d gen iPad to sync since upgrading last week. I have the latest version of iTunes. I've tried disabling wifi syncing and the closing/restarting iTunes. I've tried turning my iMac's wifi off and on. The devices show, but will not automatically wifi sync.
Thanks in advance!

I have a variation on that problem. I upgraded my iPhone 4s and my new iPad to iOS6. No problems synching the new iPad to iTunes wirelessly. My iPhone will not sync wirelessly unless I turn it off, then on again. However, if the phone goes out of wireless range, then returns, it will no longer sync wirelessly to iTunes. Otherwise, the wireless connection appears to be working, e.g., I can connect to the internet.

Wifi sync help

I have completed every troubleshooting step for trying to get this to work but my phone never shows up in itunes after I unplug my phone from usb. When I try to plug it to a power source to do automatic sync, it doesn't work. Additionally, wifi sync in the iphone is greyed out when I try to do a manual sync.
I've read a few posts regarding resetting the router and such, the issue is that I'm on a university's wifi and can't reset a router. Does anyone know if the router is the source of the wifi sync issue that so many people seem to have, or is it something else that can be done?
All help is appreciated.

Hello Bri,
It sounds like you are not able to sync your iPad to iTunes on your iMac through Wi-Fi. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve issues with Wi-Fi syncing:

Itunes 11.1.4.62 breaks wifi sync

WiFi sync has been working fine here for years.
Installed iTunes 11.1.4.62 and it no longer works properly. Sometimes I can get it to do a backup and calendar/contact sync okay. I cannot get it to do an apps sync anymore.
What I see on the screen is that iTunes initially recongizes my iPhone 4s. When iTunes fails, it says it's looking for my iPhone, can't find it, and deletes it from my devices list.
I tried completely uninstalling all Apple software and reinstalling.
iTunes syncing via USB works fine.
When iTunes disconnects from WiFi, I can still ping my iPhone so there isn't a network issue.
Environment is Win 7 64 bit.
BTW, I have the WiFi photo app installed, and I can connect to the iPhone via WiFi to transfer photos using this app even when iTunes is failing. So I think this is strictly an iTunes problem.

Same thing here. I finally got wifi sync working again by downgrading to iTunes 11.x.2 .
The trick is to make sure you remove all components of apple first.
Apple software updater, App support, Mobile device support and bonjour.
Then reinstall 11.x...2 .
On another note:
Not to further antagonize the issue but I wish whoever makes itunes over there sees this and gives users a easier way to go back to iTunes 10.7 or fixes these wifi sync issues for good and brings back some of the nice features like coverflow from iTunes 10.
Apple and itunes: I'm "Stuck in the middle with you"
lol
