After iOS6 upgrade iPhone 4s no longer automatically syncs by wifi when plugged in
My iPhone 4S has always synced via WiFi automatically when I plug it into the USP on my iMac to charge. After the upgrade to iOS6, when I plug the phone into the USB cable, it mounts on iPhoto and iTunes (I can see the device), and the photos sync to iPhoto. But the phone does *not* sync automatically by WiFi. I can choose it in iTunes and manually click sync and it will sync. But until the iOS6 upgrade, it would sync automatically when plugged in in my office with WiFi. This is annoying because I often forget to manually sync just assuming the phone is up-to-date because it has been charging in my office with WiFi (as it always did). Then I find myself on an airplane and none of the Podcasts or Music has synced (and no WiFi on the plane to get things from the cloud). This was never an issue until iOS6, and I haven't changed any settings other than a straight upgrade. Is there some new setting in iOS6 I need to change to go back to the old behavior of automatically syncing when plugged into USB to charge in my office with WiFi? Any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated.
Same here. I have to manually kick off a sync, so have to go to my Mac. If I forget, I don't have any new items. I've also recently found that Podcasts no longer sync from iTunes, even once I start the sync manually.

hi, I managed to update both Itunes and my ios to the latest versions (10.5 and 5 respectively). I'm unable to see the "Sync over wifi" option in itunes. Can anyone help?
Maybe that's why I got lucky? I have 10.7.2. I have to tell you howeer that I did not check any check box in settings on the Notebook to enable Wifi sync, or in iTunes on the notebook. I did have options when setting up the iPad and I selected sync with computer rather than back up to cloud. Maybe that is another difference? I feel feel fortunate that as I type this my iPad is syncing over wifi and you're all having trouble.
Just to confirm I have iTunes 10.5 MacOSX 10.7.2 and iOS5 installed on the iPad. I'm going to dive in and do the phone now too. I will report any troubles, or pay more careful attention when the iCloud settings and set up come on the screen. Maybe I did something else I don't remember. -
Automatically turn off wifi when plugged into LAN?
What happens:
I go to a site and put my nice MacBook Pro down. I then plug into their wired network and then discover that I am accessing the wrong network. I look up and notice that the wifi is hooking into a nearby access point.
What I Expected:
When I plug in a wired LAN, it should turn off wifi.

is it THAT much of an inconvenience to just click on the wifi symbol in the menu bar and select "Turn Airport Off" ?
I performed extensive experiments and this can be accomplished in under 2 seconds, on average.
I didn't say it's a hardship, but it's something the computer should be able to do automatically. Following rules like that are something computers are good at. I'm not.
Taking the same argument, they could just have a drop down that lets you pick "better performance" or "better power savings" and you could click it your self when running off battery or not. But it makes much more sense to have the computer detect this situation and react accordingly.
Do you have a helpful suggestion?

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?
I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view. -
After lollypop upgrade I can no longer transfer files from LGg3 to windows8 computer using USB charge cord. Can I roll back to Kittcat?
That is definitely odd, grantcool. Let's help restore this important data transfer feature. To confirm, when you connect the USB cable to your phone and computer > Pull down the Notification Bar > Select USB Connected > Can you choose Media Sync (MTP) ?

IPhone 4 no longer automatically launches iTunes
My iPhone 4 no longer automatically launches iTunes. In iTunes, the box is checked that says "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected." I've checked and unchecked that box, restarted the computer, etc., but nothing I've done has fixed the problem. I've seen the solutions for the same problem in Windows, but not for a Mac. How can I fix this?
Hi,
I have the same problem and found the same solution (i.e. unchecking then "open iTunes when iPhone is connected", then rechecking it, re-installing iTunes Helper).
The only problem is that this keeps happening over and over, and while I can certainly manage opening iTunes manually whenever I connect my phone, it bothers me that something is not working and I cannot figure out how to fix it.
I noticed that when iTunes does not open automatically, you will see that iTunes Helper is not available in the System Preferences -> Users -> Login Items. The funny thing is that I am not even able to find it on my computer at all - until I re-install it through iTunes that is...
Does anybody have an answer for this?
Thanks,
Jan -
When I connect my iPhone to my PC iTunes no longer automatically opens. And when I open it myself, my phone does not even appear under devices. Help please!!
Things to try:
Try resetting your phone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. When you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot.
Try a new sync cable (often the problem)
Make sure you phone is adequately charged
Make sure you are using latest version of iTunes -
After IOS6 upgrade game centre says my nick name already in use. has reset some games back to beginning, how do i fix
I've had almost every issue you've had. Finally on Friday the screen blacked out. It was obviously still charged, since I could hear the message ring, but when I tried to light up the display it didn't light so I was unable to get to it unless I removed the battery. Then, as soon as the display timed out, I couldn't get it lit up again without removing battery. I had the same slow movements throughout the display as well as slow text messaging. Every issue you had other than the alarm clock (that always worked well).
I took it in yesterday and, after over an hour spent there with a 'professional', I still had no answers. He told me to come home and copy everything from my sd card to my computer, then re-format my card. Well, my phone didn't even recognize that I had an sd card installed!! Nor did my computer!
So then I got to experimenting...I removed the card and viola!!!!!! The phone worked GREAT! It's never worked so fast! I then installed my husbands sd card to see if it was my phone's card reader or my card. Turns out that the phone still worked great with his card installed and it did recognize his card in my phone. So, my conclusion is that I need a new card. I couldn't believe the difference in speed of everything! It's like a brand new phone!
As for the hard reset...I did that over the weekend, before I could get to a verizon store. It didn't work at all.
I'd say, do the same thing I did and see if that works. Can't hurt!!! Please keep me posted. I'd like to see what you find out
Good Luck!!!! -
YouTube icon missing after ios6 upgrade
YouTube icon missing after ios6 upgrade
D-fest,
I was upset about the YouTube app as well, and my initial impressions were that the Apple YouTube app was better, but after using it a bit I realized the Google YouTube app was actually better. Some of the features are initially not obvious (in this case it was a matter of what I was used to), but they are all there and more. It seems to generally work better too.
I don't stream an awful lot, but I have not experienced any wifi drops while doing so yet.

My iPhone will no longer picks-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home. The wi-fi settings are ok there, but blank at home now. The phone's network settings are fine because I can join other wifi networks. I've done a reset with no results. Is there a manual way for me to restore the comcast wifi from the router?
First thanks for the reply and second sorry about the confusion. I was unable to get the full message out, but here's the problem:
Like I had mentioned, for a long time both me and my Mom had comcast and as soon as I came into both dwellings the phone would automatically jump onto either wifi network. Then a while ago she verison and used the same Belkin router. So there was no problem and my phone jumped on her system as usual, but at some point something happened and when I got home I noticed that the phone asked to be put on my system. I would input the password, but it would say "unable to connect" to the network. I did the standard things like check the network settings on the phone itself and they were fine. Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result. It seems like the phone ability to pick-up wi-fi is ok because when I go to my University I can log-in with no problem. The only thing I noticed is when I look at the settings (on the iPhone) for the router at home the whole thing is blank. My question is: Is there a manual way to get the phone to pick-up my router? I need to have it on my network at home because I use DocumentsToGo a lot. Thanks again for your response again and I hope things are clear now. Have a great day.

IPhone 4S no longer seeing 5 GHz Wifi signals with iOS 7
iPhone 4S no longer sees 5 GHz wifi band.
With iOS 6 the phone saw and connected to the 5 GHz band.
I just updated to iOS 7 and the band is not even shown.
The 2.4 GHz band was always seen, and now it's the only one.
Restarting did not ameliorate the problem.
Solutions?Try resetting network settings. General > Reset > Network Settings You will have to put your wifi password back in.

Any ideas ? Thanks.Hi Anis289,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:

my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this? i have used many usb cords also.
