Cannot sync via wi-fi

My iPod 4th generation was updated to IOS 5. My iPod recognizes that it can sync wirelessly, because the option is there, but when I go to Summary in iTunes to add this feature, I don't even have the option to. Is there any way I can make it possible to sync via wi-fi?

Hi kieron274,
probably you can find a resolution here ...

  • I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

    i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died.  Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music.  It is all grey at the top of the screen.  Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id.  So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised.  if anyone can be of assistance then great!

    I'm having a similar problem.  I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order.  Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy.  When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too.  No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop.  I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't.  I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help.  I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

  • I cannot sync my Iphone 6 . I keep getting a message that says "1 Item failed to sync. Please see ITunes for more info"

    I recently got an IPhone 6+ a few weeks ago. The 128 GB version. So far, I've loved it. I love the screen size, I love being able to put as much music and movies on it as I can. At least theoretically.
    For whatever reason, I cannot sync and put music and movies on my phone. No matter what I do, what settings I change, or how many times I Google it, I keep getting a message that says
    "1(Or just) Items failed to sync. Please see Itunes for more information"
    Every time I try to sync my phone, I get this message. I have a library of 1300 songs and entire seasons of shows that play just fine through Itunes but for whatever reason will not sync to my phone. It doesn't matter if the songs were ripped or bought from Itunes, I cannot get more than a handful of songs onto my phone anymore.
    Has anyone had this problem recently? Most Google searches only found information from 2011-12. And again, every "fix" I've found from Googling has not fixed this problem.
    What's the point in a 128 GB Iphone if I can't put anything on it?
    Thank you for your advice and direction.

    Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
    I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
    I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
    Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
    I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
    Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd

  • I cannot sync my iphone to new itunes library.

    I have the latest update of itunes on both computers and the latest software update on my iPhone 5s.
    I have recently gotten a new laptop. I have downloaded itunes and transferred my itunes library from my old computer to my new laptop via home sharing. However, I could not sync any of the music to my iphone. I have also downloaded the transferred music from iCloud and backed up my iphone to the new laptop in the hope this would help. However it has not made a difference and I still cannot sync my iphone.
    How am I able to solve this problem?
    Many Thanks

    Only iTunes media will necessarily be erased.  There's no way around this. 

  • I changed the email address for my apple id and now I cannot sync the contacts and calendar with my iphone

    It is crazy but in the apple store they set up the icloud for me and then I started sync the iphone against the icloud and i had some photos in streaming because they recommended to do like that. After that, the space got not enough and they asked for more more to increase the space, so I decided to come back to the previous method and sync my iphone with itunes via usb. Well, the email address that i had for my apple id became unavailable so i had to create a new account this time with gmail and since then, i cannot sync my iphone. I have done it today and i have lost my contacts and the calendar is no ,onger sync. I am using outlook to manage my mail and when I look for the i cloud it asks me for the old email address which no longer exists and does not match with the current one.
    Can anyone help me?

    Nevermind, I figured it out!

  • My iPod touch is not recognized by my computer or by iTunes. It will not charge or sync via USB cord. I'm not sure what generation it is, I've had it about 2 years. HELP!

    I can't do anything between the computer and the iPod... cannot sync purchases, music, anything... I tried resetting my iPod, which was a HUGE mistake because now, none of my music is on it and I can't sync the thousands of songs I've purchased to it... all I am able to use it for is to download directly to the iPod via WiFi. (Which I do, but mostly for apps... I don't want to waste money duplicating music purchases.) I've tried the troubleshooting thru iTunes and nothing has helped. Please help!

  • I have a mac book my iPhone 4 doesn't show up in devicesin iTunes so cannot sync. it has also stopped syncing wirelessly.

    I have a mac book pro and iPhone 4. suddenly when i connect my iPhone 4 to my mac my phone doesn't show up in devices. it recognises it via iPhoto and uploads my photos but i cannot see it in iTunes so cannot sync. it has also stopped syncing wirelessly.

    Using the USB cable, connect your phone to the computer you want to sync with. Let the phone sync.
    In the left-hand pane, click on your iPhone under Devices.
    Select the Summary tab along the top of the screen.
    Under Option, is the checkbox for Sync with this Phone over Wi-Fi checked? If not, check it and click Apply.
    If it was already checked, do the following:
    Uncheck it
    Click Apply
    Disconnect the iPhone from the computer
    Plug the iPhone into the computer again
    Check the Sync over Wi-Fi checkbox
    Click Apply
    Disconect the iPhone from the computer
    Now go under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and see if you can sync wirelessly.

  • IPod Classic 120GB cannot sync, "Required disk not found"

    Somebody, please help! iPod Classic 120GB charcoal, current OS as of about a week ago (won't stay synced long enough for me to see what it is), iMac 24" 10.6.4, iTunes 10.0.1. Let me know if you need any more info and I'll try to provide it.
    Everything was absolutely fine until I updated to the newest version of iTunes. Now, when I plug in my iPod, it says it's connecting then jumps straight to the "Okay to disconnect" screen. It never shows up in iTunes at all. After doing this repeatedly, I unplugged it then immediately plugged it in again before it had finished the progress bar on the "Okay to disconnect" screen, and it finally showed up in iTunes, but it gave me an error of "iPod was not properly disconnected" then "cannot sync - required disk not found" and disconnected itself again.
    I tried resetting it (menu+center buttons) while it was plugged in, and this did nothing. iTunes still didn't recognize it at all.
    About a week ago, I followed some instructions somewhere and toggled the "enable disk use" option (I usually keep it unchecked) then was able to restore it. The songs were added back in a bizarre order (not alphabetical, not chronological, songs within an album added out of order, jumping from artist to artist, etc.) and I had to sync it again for three random albums that it missed the first time, but once everything was in again it was fine. I haven't added any new songs or playlists to my iTunes library since then (just changed a few ratings and I like to keep track of play counts), but when I tried to sync it again this morning, I got exactly the same errors.
    The only difference this time is that it alerted me that one song in my library (a song I happen to like very much) could not be synced. The song still shows up on my iPod, but will not play. It still appears and plays in iTunes on the computer.
    The iPod works perfectly in day-to-day use and is a little over a year old. I take very good care of it (my previous iPod is four or five years old and still works fine) and it has never had any problems before this. It has almost 100GB worth of music (no other media, just music), which makes it pretty annoying to have to restore it more than absolutely necessary. What is going on here and is there some way to fix it that will last longer than a week?

    Hi, yeah I'm experiencing the same issue as everyone else with a 120gb iPod classic using iTunes 10.1.1 (4). Started about the time of OSX 10.6.5 update and hasn't been resolved with the OSX 10.6.6 update.
    iPod attempts to Sync but now quits without even appearing on the computer let alone iTunes.
    I have ESET security but quitting the app doesn't help.
    I also have an iPhone 3Gs and that's still syncing fine (thank heavens), via a different library.
    I've since managed to wipe the iPod clean (back to factory settings) as forced to do so by following the instructions in another post to remove the iPod Photo Cache. I then moved my iTunes folder to another directory for safe keeping.
    I set up a clean iTunes database thinking my old one might have been corrupted. To do this you open iTunes from scratch while holding down the option key and select "Create Library". iTunes then remembers the last library created whenever you open the app.
    When I am able to see the iPod summary screen (a rare occurrence now) I see that "enable disk use" is checked ok - this has been noted as a problem in previous forums. So that's not the issue.
    Actually the iPod doesn't even stay connected to my 2010 unibody MacBook Pro when the iPod is switched over to disc mode. It immediately goes into "OK to Disconnect".
    So I now have a clean iPod, and clean iTunes - all empty and essentially useless!
    Anybody out there with any ideas? Plllleeeeeeeese?

  • When trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

    when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • Ow do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized".  What do I do to fix this?

    How do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "Cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized"?  How do I fix this?

    And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
    Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.

  • Cannot sync ATV1 Purchased Movies with iTunes

    I have recently purchased 5 movies via my ATV1.  I cannot sync or get my purchased
    movies into itunes.  They are not in my itunes folder and I have no available downloads.
    They used to always automatically appear in my iTunes folder, but not anymore.  The TV
    shows I've purchased are syncing, just not movie purchases.
    I have the most recent ATV1 update and most recent iTunes update.  Any help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.
