Can no longer WiFi Sync.  iTunes won't connect to devices.

Since downloading iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1.1 I can no longer WiFi Sync my iPhone5, iPad, or iPod.  Error message states, "iTunes could not connect to this device.  Could not allocate a resource."  What does this mean?  Never had a problem before.

I have the same problem  On the phone with Apple support over the course of a few days without a solution.

  • Since upgrade to IOS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).

    Since upgrade to OS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).  I have restarted both devices, turned off and on "Sync with this iPad/iPhone over WIFI" and restarted WiFi.  WiFi is operating (iPad has no SIM).  What next?

    I'm also affected by this bug in exactly the same way as you.
    Some users have had success by closing iTunes, enetering (on OS 10.9) settings --> network --> edit locations, then create a new location with the same wifi/network settings. Then restarting iTunes.
    Others have had some success by editing settings --> iCloud --> de-selecting keychain
    neither of these fixes have worked for me.
    It appears that the iPad can "see" iTunes running on my iMac because when I open settings --> general --> 'iTunes wifi sync', "sync now" is greyed out if iTunes is not running. When iTunes is started, "sync now" is enabled but just doesn't work. Nor does the iPad appear in iTunes.

  • Can you use wifi sync with multiple libraries and multiple devices

    Hi all
    Does anyone know if you can use wifi sync with 1 computer, 2 libraries and 2 devices?
    I have my wife's iPhone synced to 1 library and mine to another library but on the same computer. Will wifi sync work this way or do you need iTunes to be open to the correct library for it to work? As I know you can't have 2 instances of itunes open on the same computer.
    Anyway thanks for any help

    I have been looking more and more into this and it appears no.
    You need to have iTunes running on the computer to enable it to wifi sync. You can use 2 devices on 1 library but if you don't have all the right options ticked you will then end up with each others stuff on each others device.
    To enable wifi sync you need to have your iDevice connected to the same wifi network as your computer and iTunes open on that computer.
    With my library open it detected my wife's phone and started to sync. Hasty push of cancel sync button lol.
    There is a guide on here somewhere about multiple devices with 1 library which I can't find at the moment that tells you which options to tick so only your stuff stays on your device the the other half's on their device.
    Its basically tick 'sync only ticked songs and videos' under summary of your device
    Under apps take tick out of 'automatically sync new apps'
    Then under edit->preferences click device and click prevent i's from syncing automatically
    I think you should then be able to sync both devices to 1 library with mucking them up too much
    Hopefully please correct me if I'm wrong
    I have tried not doing the last step and asking it to open itunes automatically when phone is connected but this does not work with wifi sync
    Have fun hopefully someone else can give us a better answer

  • Can see Airport Express, but iTunes won't connect and more..

    I'm running Mac OSX 10.4.2 on an Aluminium PowerBook G4, connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station - which can use the internet etc easily. I have an Airport Express, which can be seen & changed in Airport Admin, and can be seen in iTunes - but can not be connected to in iTunes - it tries for about 30 seconds, and then gives up, not even an error message? I'm not sure if it's a related issue, buit an old iBook running OSX 10.3.9, connects to the same Airport Express, no problems. But the PowerBook, whilst it can see the iBook, won't connect to the iBook via Airport - it tells me it is not operational, or something.
    Can anyone think of anything that may fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Is this a new problem on this Powerbook - or has it never worked? While there are many (and some very obscure) causes for this problem, one of the more common causes is firewall software of some sort. This also includes applications designed to monitor outgoing network data (like spyware) on a Mac, like "Little Snitch".

  • Can't get WiFi sync to work with iOS 5 devices

    I have an iPad 1 and an iPhone 3GS, both running iOS 5.  I can't get either device to synch to my iTunes library wirelessly.  I have seen the procedures in the KB, but the part that I am missing is that neither device has the "Sync with this iOS device over WiFi" option in the device summary in iTunes, even though I am running iTunes 10.5.  Is this because I am running OS X 10.5?

    Oops, she rebooted and problem solved.

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

  • I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress."  where did this window go, and how do I get it back?

    Hi; I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress" window--the window that tells me each thing that is syncing, etc.  Where did it go, and how do I get it back?  Thanks if you can help--I was on the phone with Apple for 7 minutes on hold and then they just cut me off.  (Nice).

    Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
    With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • Can no longer download apps, constantly get "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    Can no longer download apps, constantly get "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    Try syncing your iPad with your computer, that way it can update its version of iTunes.

  • Is it true on Mavericks the Calendar can no longer be synced when connecting directly?

    Recently I noticed that since upgrading to Mavericks, my iPhone Calendar is no longer synced with my Computers Calendar.   I found some hint on the support site that this is a "feature"?  Is this true that the iPhone Calendar can no longer be synced when the iPhone is connected with my computer directly via USB or via WiFi?

    tosmyrd wrote:
    This is what I found too. So this means there is no actual possibility to Sync Calendars without using iCloud?
    I don't think the article states that as you describe it here.  I think instead the article says that iTunes is no longer the sync agent for your calendar.  iCloud is one of the possible alternate methods (and happens to be the one I use).  But there are very likely other ways to perform the sync, such as Outlook, Google, etc.  It all depends on the specific calendar account you use.

  • Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..

    Hi
    After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
    All other features seem to work... only opening  the iTunes store is failing..
    I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
    Please help

    Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!"  You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
    The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3).  I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store.  My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5.  Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs.  I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store. 
    Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
    I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

  • Can no longer access the iTunes store.

    As of a few days ago I can no longer access the iTunes Store.  Keep getting the page that urges me to upgrade.
    I cannot not upgrade to the current version on my G5 Power PC.  Cannot access by using Search either.  I am running
    iTunes 7.5 because all newer versions required an upgrade of Quicktime which screwed up the performance of Final Cut Studio,
    which I can also not upgrade because I don't own an Intel Mac.  I am so tired of Apple not supporting their loyal customers
    who own older Macs, especially in these hard economic times.  Was considering the purchase of an iPhone, but not anymore. 
    If anyone knows of a work around to the iTunes problem I would appreciate an answer.  It not, then Goodbye Apple it was nice
    knowing you.

    This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
    1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
    2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
    3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
    4. download Safari (26 MB)
    5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
    6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
    7. take a long walk
    8. install security update and restart
    9. install Safari and restart
    And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store.  I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia.

  • I can't get WiFi sync to work - connected to university network

    I am currently connected (both my iPhone and Mac) to my universities wireless network and I can't get WiFi Sync to work. It doesn't even show up in my iTunes (my iPhone). Everything is updated.

    You're a mouthy little f**king c*nt aren't you. Learn how to spell! You are  "sopost" to have a fully functioning brain before you attempt to use an Apple product, so just return it to the store, tell them that you are too much of a f**king ******* to upgrade the ipod, and then you can go back to your life of welfare checks and unemployment.

  • Itunes won't connect to active WiFi

    I've read all the forums and topics but still haven't found the answer to why iTunes won't connect to the WiFi at my home. I have no password on my WiFi. Other computers in the home use it just fine. Safari on iPhone works great. I reset the network on iPhone and chose the home network. There are plenty of bar showing it's active but I keep getting the same message in iTunes that it can't connect to iTunes because it needs a WiFi connection. What else can I possibly be missing. I've been using Mac since '84 so I'm quite experienced with all settings and what they do but this one has me stumped. What can you suggest. (new iPhone 3G)

    You are not connected to your WiFi network as you do not see the WiFi symbol on the iPhone you can see the 3G symbol. The iTunes Store on the iPhone does not work via 3G it only works via WiFi.
    Clearly you are not getting access to the internet via your WiFi.
    You should turn on WiFi on the iPhone and then you will see the iPhone searching for wireless networks. Your WiFi should appear in the list and you should then select it by touching it in the list. It should then have a tick mark against it in the list. If it does then touch the blue circle next to the WiFi name which will show you the details of the WiFi you are connected to, if the screen does not contain IP addresses then you are not connected to the internet, even though you may have WiFi connection. Are you sure the WiFi you are connected to has working internet?

  • My ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put the passcode in my ipod, and i can't do anything with my ipod until it connects. what should i do?

    my ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put in the passcode, and i can't do anything to my ipod until it connects to itunes. so, basically i can't do anything from the ipod or to it from the computor. what should i do?

    Restore...
    From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.
