Cannot sync iPhone or iPad over WIFI

Since upgrading to Yosemite, IOS 8.1 and iTunes 12, I can no longer snyc over WiFi both iPhone 6 or iPad Mini. Both devices do not show up in iTunes toolbar over WiFi. For a brief moment after IOS 8.02 upgrade to 8.1, I was able to both connect and sync over WiFi and I thought the problem was solved by the IOS upgrade. I was wrong. Any suggestions?

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all components as directed in here.?

Cannot sync iphone or ipad with Lion

I upgraded to Lion today and it went fine on my Mac. I then did a sync with my iPhone and iPad. Nothing! I tried a second time. Again nothing! I went into the app store to update my apps on the iPad and got this message, "This App is incompatible with this iPad." What do I do now?

I cannot install apps on my iPhone or iPad over WiFi

I have erased my iPhone, changed my Credit Card, changed my passwords, reset my wifi router. There is nothing more to do. Can anyone help me install apps on my iPhone? I've never had this problem before. I simply cannot install apps. The end. Not updates, not new purchases, not free purchases, nothing.

You can turn off iTunes match from settings> music> iTunes match> off. However you may wish to simply hide the content which is not on your phone until you are in a location where you are able to download content that isn't. You can do this at settings> music> show all music> off.

TS4062 Why can't I get iTunes to sync with my iPad over wifi?

After doing everything suggested in the troubleshooting guide, I still cannot get iTunes to recognize my device (iPad) unless I use direct USB connection. I even selected the wifi checkbox in iTunes when my USB cable was connected. This happened after I downloaded the latest version of iTunes (it worked fine before).

Hello rhofer
If you are having issues with connecting to the iTunes Store, check out the first article for some tips and also ensure that the router at your parents home are using the recommended settings.

I cannot stream podcasts to ipad over wifi sharing anymore

I used to be able to use my ipad in the living room to listen to podcasts on my computer in the office via sharing, it was not the most reliable service but when it worked it was fine...
Not anymore...
Using Apple products this last year has been painful... And now this.
I have the latest operating system on the laptop and my iPad 3 and I have the podcast app installed.
I DO NOT WANT TO FILL UP MY IPAD WITH PODCASTS AND WHATS MORE I DO WANT TO WASTE YET MORE HOURS HUNTING THEM DOWN EITHER!!!
I have checked various threads and see no obvious solution, sorry if the answert is out there but what with all the other problems I am having I don't want to waste anymore time on this, so if there is a simple solution that does not involve yet more hours reinstalling god knows what and watching my life pass me by I would be grateful for the help.

I have a workaround that may work some people.
I was at home watch the latest Apple Keynote in iTunes and I wanted to resume watching it on my iPad. So I selected the entry and did <CMD> I then selected "Options" and changed Media Kind to "Movie" instead of Podcast. On the iPad I went to the Video app and played the rest of it while walking around the house.
Now I just have to remember to set it back to Podcast, so it'll be in the right place in iTunes.

Mac will not sync with ipad over wifi

I have iTunes set to sync with the ipad over wifi; wifi is turned on on both mac and ipad; both are logged in but i can only sync using a cable plugged into the mac. Any ideas why.
Thanks for the help

Your MacBook must be quite old. My suggestion is to sell it and replace it with a newer model that can support later software. You have probably received many years of good service from the old machine.
Good luck.

HT1535 Trying to sync iphone to ipad

Trying to sync iphone to ipad over the wifi and delete msg /pic from either one

You cannot sync an iPhone to an iPad. While you can share or sync some content, there are only selected items that can be done. Your statement is lacking in detail so it is difficult to understand exactly what you are trying to do. It seems as though you want to put your messages and pictures on both devices via Wi-Fi? With Continuity, you can share messages, and pictures could be shared via Photo Stream.

I ripped a new CD to iTunes and backed up to the cloud. The songs are already on my iPhone 4S, but I can't get them on my iPad. I already connected the iPad to my laptop and selected "Sync with the iPad over Wi-Fi". On the iPad I forced a Sync. Help!

I'm trying to sync my ipad over wifi, with my MAC, I have the updated software on my MAC, the ipad is up to dat 6.1.2. I can follow all of the steps, but I can't find a SUMMARY button on the toolbar, nor do I receive the option to sync. What am I doing wrong or what should I look for? Thank You

To sync your iPad over Wifi:
First ensure you're running iTunes 11.0.2. And you already have your iPad up to date, good.
Plug your iPad into the Mac via USB. Click your iPad in the top toolbar (under the search bar). Click the Summary tab if it isn't already selected. Check the box to "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi" (you may have to scroll down to see it). And now click the Apply button at the bottom right.
You should be able to unplug your iPad from the Mac and it should still remain in iTunes. (If not, try Quitting and relaunching iTunes and waiting, restarting iPad, etc).
To initiate a sync over Wifi, click your iPad in the toolbar in iTunes then click Sync. Or on your iPad, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wifi Sync and tap "Sync Now."
If this didn't solve your problem, please let me know with a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing so I can try to help you get up and syncing wirelessly!

Updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud

tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
Explanation:
Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)

I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.
