Can't find computer when syncing

I think I understand how syncing works and have intermittnet luck with using it. I have plugged in the iphone selected sync over wifi, synced everthing but when I unplug my phone (iphone 5, using io6.1.2) the device disappears from the column on the left in itunes and I can't sync wirelessly.
Any ideas??

Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.

Contrary to the new model wich allows only syncing, the old Apple TV (1st generation) allows syncing and streaming from an iTunes library.
For syncing you should pair your Apple TV (1st generation) to your computer's iTunes Library instead of just connecting it to it's shared iTunes Library for streaming
Here you will find the explanation on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1143
If your Apple TV (1st generation) was already paired and/or connected to your computer I suggest that you first unpair it and/or disconnect it.

Try:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Do not omit the Additional Information paragraph.
Is the iPod that connects an iPod touch? If not that does not mean anything since iOS devices like iPod touch, iPhone and iPad use different drivers than other iPods.

My ipod Touch is NOT uploading info to my computer when syncing

I have had this iMac in the genius bar TWICE in 24 hours...and of course they just did their "job" by just reinstalling the OS..I could have done that at home and saved me all that trouble...a corrupt file was picked up online and it messed with everything,not opening Safari(I do not like it anyway)...but now I am doing just the SIMPLE things to get back my computer & iTouch....and it is not uploading data I input on the iPod to the computer when syncing. I have had an Apple computer(s) for over 20 years...and this is the worse one ever, even thinking of switching brands, it's that BAD!
Thanks for help!

Welcome to the discussions,
can you sync your purchases from the ipod to iTunes? Try to download a free app using the ipod and choose "Transfer purchases" in the File menu in iTunes when you have connected your device. Disable autosync first. Also make sure your iMac is authorized in the Store menu and you did a reset of the sync history in iSync/settings. Make sure to have at least one contact set up in your address book on your mac before you sync your contacts.

Hp 6600 wireless won't scan; can't find computer; MS 8.1

Officejet 6600 wireless works fine as printer, but can't find computer to scan to. OS is 8.1. Also there is no printer control software on my desktop. Software is up to date and firmware appears up to date.

Hi @dburbage,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to use the Scan feature on your HP Officejet 6600, you can print fine but when you attempt to scan it does not find the computer.
I would like you to start troubleshooting here: A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays When Scanning for HP Officejet 6600, follow the steps listed under the Windows 8 section.
If you are still not able to scan please leave me with the following information:
1. How did you install the software and drivers, CD or download?
2. Did you just upgrade to Windows 8.1 or was this pre installed?
3. Have you ever been able to scan?
4. How is the printer connected USB or Wireless?
Go ahead and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools

I have a new PC and the iPad can't find it to sync

I have a new PC and now the iPad can't find it to sync. How do I change the settings so the iPad recongizes my new PC?

You mean iTunes doesn't see the iPad.
If you are running iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar at the top of the screen in the iTunes menu. When the sidebar is enabled - do you see the iPad under Devices?

I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased that was supposed to be in the cloud. There are several of these, including an entire season. In the store it shows that I purchased these shows when I checked them.

I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased. I then checked and had this problem with an entire TV season I had purchesed. The shows were supposed to be in the cloud. I went to the itunes store, went to the tv shows and they showed that I had purchesed them. They do not show up when I click on purchesed in the store.

Try this...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

how can i find out when the Creative Cloud be available in my country?

This information is not available. We are working to add more countries, the newest being South Africa which will be added by the end of November. We are working to make this process more transparent. I understand how frustrating it is to not know if and/or when the Creative Cloud will be available in your country.

If you don't have any application level logging, and auditing is not enabled, there's not much hope.
You could, if you have archive logs available, go trawling through archive logs via logminer, but that's likely to prove painful and not very fruitful, unless you're very meticulous and patient...
