Can't use itunes wifi sync or airplay server after 10.7.3 update

Hi there,
After updating to 10.7.3 Lion, I cannot get any of the following networking functions to work on my Macbook Air (late 2011)
- Airplay server
- itunes wif-fi sync
Was there some sort of problem with bonjour?

Workgroup Manager would not let my Directory Administrator log in. I was able to log in using the local admin login (not localadmin as suggested earlier- that didn't work for me) I am new to the server environment so I don't know if this is voodoo or not but this is what fixed it for me:
1. Restore Server to last backup of 10.5.2 using Time Machine
2. Several log directories were missing after I restored so in order to stop the errors I re-created the directories. Some other errors were coming up mentioning kerberos so I decided to try to update again. Time Machine is nice but I don't think its ready for Server yet. (Apple please fix this its a nice feature!)
3. On a hunch I REMOVED A SPACE IN THE NAME OF MY BOOT DRIVE. From "Name Boot" to "Name_Boot" --- I don't know if this does anything or not but I've heard of weird issues like this in the past.
4. Repaired Permissions
5. Applied 10.5.3 combined update
6. Repaired Permissions (allot of permissions fixed here-supposedly)
Workgroup manager now connects. Time Machine errors out. I havn't gone through the logs yet to see what else the process broke.
I hope this can help someone ore at lease put someone down the right path to discovering the reason for the break.

  • Can I use Itunes to sync my contacts to my sim-card?

    well, same question as above is asked, Can I use iTunes to copy all my contacts to my Sim-card to use them on another phone witch can't be syncronised with iTunes? anfd if I can do that, How?? Please help me if you can.

    No. The iPhone stores no data on a sim card, thus there is no way to do what you want using iTunes.

  • Itunes wifi sync does not work after upgrade to OS X Yosemite

    Hi,
    After upgrade to OS X Yosemite itunes wifi sync with my ipad and iphone stopped working. After attaching the iphone and ipad with a cable, I could sync, but as soon as the cable was removed, the ipad and iphone disappeared again from itunes. And wifi did still nok work.

    Apparently something is not being saved somewhere and this technique forces the save.  Below is a C&P from another poster describing the technique on a different thread.  It's been working for him for some fifteen hours.  I tried it and it's been working but it's been only ten minutes.  My gut feel is that quitting and relaunching iTunes are critical steps.
    With the device connected via cable, click on its icon
    Uncheck WiFi syncing
    Click Apply
    Quit iTunes
    Launch iTunes
    Check WiFi syncing
    Click Apply

  • Can i use itunes to sync my iphone with another iphone. Both phones are iphone 4, I would like to recreate my old phone in my one. in other words; transfer my pictures, texts, contacts, notes ect onto my newer phone.

    hi, I have 2 iPhone 4 and i would like to transfer all of my documents and data, contacts, apps ect ect from my old phone to my new iPhone 4.
    Essentialy I would like to recreate my old phone on the new one. (older phone is scratched). I have a different phone number, and different i tunes account associated with each phone but I have no problem with changing the i tunes account on the new phone back to the account I had on the old one.
    I have done back ups in the past of my old phone, using i tunes and I would like to apply the backed up information to my new phone. How would I do this?
    Can I restore device A onto device B?  Also wondering what sort of information or files might not transfer?
    Thanks!

    The following link has instructions on how to transfer to a new device using iTunes (see the section below the "Use iCloud backup" section: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • ITunes WiFi Sync not working with iPhone 6, but works with iPad 1

    I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad 1. The iPhone 6 runs iOS 8 and the iPad 1 runs iOS 5.
    Yet, the iPad works fine using iTunes WiFi Sync with my Mac, while my iPhone never works with it. Whenever I forcibly make it sync by clicking on the device in iTunes and on Sync, it gets ejected/removed from iTunes. This doesn't happen with my iPad.
    Is this a problem specific with the iPhone 6? Anyone know what I can do to fix it?
    If I uncheck and re-check the WiFi Sync setting for my iPhone 6, then it syncs fine the first time again. But it doesn't work after that. So the device is definitely on the correct WiFi network at least.

    It continues to be UNREAL how Apple will release iOS software without testing it.  Yep.  They BROKE WIFI SYNC.  It no longer works on my iPhones or iPads either.  UNREAL!!!!!!

  • Videos/photostream/itunes wifi sync...

    So up until ios5, you imported the photos and videos you took on your iphone into iphoto by plugging in your iphone via USB into your mac. It would open up iTunes to sync your music and movies, etc, and it would seperatly open iPhoto to import newly taken pics and videso into your library that it recognized had not already been uploaded.
    Now, there is an option to sync to iTunes over Wifi, but it doesn't import your photos and videos from your phone to your iPhoto library, presumably because that's what photostream is for, right? But photostream doesn't handle video. So, if I only take picures on my iphone, then I can use itunes wifi sync to handle my music, podcasts, backup (unless I do my backup via icloud backup), movies and videos I want to include FROM my mac TO my phone, and I can use photostream to make sure any pictures I've taken land up on my iphoto library. BUT... the second I want to take a video on my iphone, then I have to plug the phone into my mac via USB? Just to do that one thing? Is this correct. Plus, what if I've taken 15 pictures and 3 videos on my iphone and I plug it in to grab those videos. Is iPhoto going to know that the pictures have already been received via photostream, and tell me all I need to upload is the videos, or, is it going to say that both the pics and videos are new, and want to upload the pics to my library also, essentially creating two copies of them in my iphoto library?
    Am I overlooking something? Do I have this scenario correct?
    Is it just me or is the partial overlap of iTunes wired sync vs. iTunes wifi sync vs. iCloud a bit crazy right now?!
    Thanks!

    I totally agree, I am very frustrated.  I just spoke with Apple support on the phone and confirmed that YES indeed, you still have to plug in the USB cable and manually import your videos into iPhoto, old school style.  I am deeply disappointed by this.  In my family we have 5 different iphones and everyone is constantly taking lots of video of kids and such.  So now this means I have to still manually connect the cable to all 5 phones on a weekly basis and manually import all the videos and delete them from the device (in order to free up space).  This is exactly what I wanted to AVOID by upgrading to iCloud and setting up Photostream and wireless sync and online backups.  I thought videos would be covered too, but they're NOT.  Nowhere on Apple website is this explained clearly.  The apple support person just gave me some lame excuse saying they "may" fix this with iPhone 5.
    I think this is false advertising and almost fraudulent.  After a while, you will get a popup message saying that your iCloud storage is running out of space, and asking you to purchase more.  That is because the videos are still staying on your device and consuming more space, so you are running out of your 5G free iCloud storage.  If instead Apple wirelessly imported the videos to iPhoto automatically and cleared up your Camera Roll, you would not run out of space, and hence wouldn't need to purchase more online storage.  This sounds to me like a very sneaky way of making people buy more storage than they really need.   I hope some lawyer looks into this and investigates any possible fraud or false advertising, maybe file a class action lawsuit to force Apple to fix this (rather than Apple forcing consumers to purchase more unnecessary storage). 
    BTW, here's my post:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3536475 

  • HT4623 Can I use Ituenes to sync my email addresses to my Iphone?

    Can I use Itunes to sync my email addresses from my PC to my Iphone?

    You should be able to import your contacts from AOL into either Outlook (if you have that) or Windows Contacts. You may also be able to import them to iCloud if you use that. Check to see if there is a help file on AOL that would assist you with that. I do not use AOL so I am unfamiliar with the way they store their address book. Maybe someone else that uses it can answer your question. You also might want to search the discussions and use the keywords AOL and address and see if that helps you.

  • HT201250 Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet?

    Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet? i want to buy an iPad Air and to forget my laptop and i think that even the 128 gb wont be enough some times. I am wandering if time capsule can be used as external hdd and to connect on it via wifi ...

    No. You cannot access your Time Capsule directly from an iOS device. The only way to back up an iOS device is to a computer through iTunes or to iCloud, though in some cases you can open and save files via another cloud-based service such as Dropbox.

  • Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD

    Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD and not everything else on my iphone etc?

    On the iPod turn off iCloud for calender, contacts and other things (Settings>iCloud) and turn off automatic downloading for apps and books (Settings>Store).
    Aldso go to Settings Messages and Facetime and add her own email calling/messaging address and delete the Apple ID calling/messaging address.

  • How can I take music from an USB and transfer it to the iPod? It tells me use use itunes to sync but the music is on an USB drive. It had worked in the past. Tks

    How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

    These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

  • Can u use itunes match to sync iphone with new computer

    can you use itunesmatch to sync iphone music and pictures to new computer

    You can use iTunes Match to make your iTunes library available on another computer, to either play or download the music to it.  But iTunes Match doesn't have anything to do with pictures and other data, and it doesn't sync your iPhone with your computer.
    If you are changing computers and have previously syncing your phone with another computer, you should copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music) from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527.  That will allow you to sync your phone with your new computer just as you did with your old one.
