Cant restart wireless sync when unexpectedly lose wireless connectivity

Hi,
Have encountered an issue with wireless sync which is driving me nuts. If i happen to lose wireless connectvity during sync (eg i take my iphone with me when i leave the house while it is syncing), when i return the wireless sync will not restart until i have rebooted the pc. If i check the PC it is wireless syncing with, it has thrown a modal dialog saying "Required disk cannot be found". I clear this but the iphone will not recognise wireless sync is available and the sync button on the iphone remains grey. Super annoying as i run the pc headless so a pain to have to keep on rebooting it. Any suggestions as to how to fix or avoid ?
What is iTunes doing throwing modal dialogs anyway, especially with something background in nature like a wireless sync. Must be some legacy code. Please fix Apple !!

I have the same problem. I am forced to have a PIN set on my devices because I use my corporate exchange email and sync over wi-fi initially fails until I manually unlock the phone/ipad. #ckuan needs to read the words wiritten. We know how it's supposed to work but it won't start until you enter the PIN. Until then I get error messages saying either it cannot find the phone or explicitly telling me I need to unlock it.

Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected, is 'Grayed Out'?

Itune 11.0..2. / iPhone 5 / Backups > iCloud / Options > 'Grayed out', (not available?) "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". Why is this grayed out?

This one was odd: it stopped after the first sync was finally completed--had to interrupt several times to use the phone away from the computer before all the music and photos were fully reloaded. Now it waits appropriately for next sync. This is probably why no one else had seen this or replied.

"automatically sync when this iphone is connected" disabled

The "automatically sync when this iphone is connected" checkbox in iTunes 12 is disabled, i.e., greyed out. How to enable this?

If your device is set up for manually syncing then doesn't it make sense for automatic syncing to be disabled? Either way you are safer if you have to initiate a sync by pressing the sync button.

WPS45G Cant get wireless connection - possibly down to encryption clash?

Hi,
I've a new WPS45G. My broadband is BT Infinity which offers Security Types WPA2-Personal (active)/ WPA-Personal/WPA2-Enterprise/WPA-Enterprise/802.1X/Shared and open with Encryption Types AES (active) and TKIP.
Are any of these compatible with the WPS45Gs WPA and how to i set them up?
Thanks,
Oisin

Yes, the WPS54G will be compatible with the wireless security WPA. You can try the following steps:
Download the winrar to unzip the file. Go to this link and get winrar trial version:
http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html and install the winrar.
Then copy this link:
http://www.deidirectsales.com/Linksys%20Print%20Driver%20Setup.rar
Open a browser, in the address field, paste this link, press enter. Download the Linksys print driver installer. Unzip it to get the file.
Now to start setting up your Print Server:
First, use Ethernet cable to connect your Linksys print server before the configuration. Normally router has 4 ports and plug the cable into any of the 4 ports.
Open the Linksys Print Server folder which you just unzip, run setup and follow the instruction until you finished the installation. A window 'Print Server Utility' will appear. If running window vista, please go this link:
http://www.deidirectsales.com/DEI%20Support.htm
And follow the procedure. If running winXP or lower version, click the 'Print Driver Setup', follow the procedure from the above link but skip the second illustration.
Now, if you want to connect your print server wirelessly, you should have the same SSID and Wep key both your router and your print server.
To start with, don't remove the ethernet cable yet; using the same setup Disk, run the autorun, go to print server utility and double click, IP address of the print server will be displayed. Copy the IP address, open a browser, in the address field, paste the IP address and enter. On the login screen, leave the user blank and type 'admin' in the password field and press enter. Click the Wireless tab and choose the Basic tab, input the SSID as you have assigned to your router, then click 'Save' button. Next, go to Security tab, click security mode. Configure exactly the way you did to your router. Press 'Save' and exit the setup.
Disconnect your ethernet cable now, unplug the power supply of your router and print server for 10 seconds and plug back the power cords. Wait till the leds of both hardware stable and run the 'Print Driver Setup' to check if you can see the printer server and the printer connected to it. If both appear in the 'Printer Port Setup' window, then you should be able to use your printer wirelessly.
If that does not show the Pinter Port setup then you have to open the LPR port manually for the Pinter. The Line Printer Remote (LPR) is a printer protocol that uses Transfer Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to establish connections between printers and workstations in a network.

My iPhone 5 says it is connected to iTunes and starts syncing when it isn't connected

Everytime I open my itunes it says that my iphone is conncted and starts to tell me it is syncing the content, how can I fix this? thanks

Hello Probes13,
It sounds like Wifi syncing may be enabled in iTunes. The article iOS: Syncing with iTunes found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386 outlines how to enable Wifi syncing but rather than checking the box that enables it, you would uncheck it.
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.
If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
Regards,
Sterling

HT1369 My IPod nano won't sync & when I ran the connectivity test, the result said it couldn't find my device. My IPod is plugged into my computer.

First the problem was, my IPod wouldn't sync. I removed ITunes from my computer, then downloaded the latest version & still my IPod won't sync. Then I ran a connectivity test, & got a message indicating it couldn't find my IPod (it's definitely connected to my computer). I tried clicking on the tab to reset the sync history, but I didn't see any indications that anything actually happened. Any ideas?

Questions...
can you operate your iPad normally on its own?
is iOS 7 correct, or have you updated to iOS 8x?
can you describe exactly what actions you take up until you get the error 9006, especially exactly the entire error message, verbatim... and what App/OS seems to generating it?
Additionally, I will ask our Hosts to move your question to the iPad forum for a better response.

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.

ITunes does not automatically sync when iPhone is connected

I upgraded to an iPhone 3g and I am unable to select the "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" option. It is greyed out in the iPhone Summary Tab in iTunes. I would like to automatically sync when I connect the iphone to my mac. How can I get this option available to me?

At the iTunes menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences.
Under the Devices tab, is "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" selected?

I'm puzzled. In itunes, when my iPhone is connected to my Mac and the iPhone selected in the left hand pane, after then clicking on the Summary tab at the top of my screen, in the Options section below there is a check box I can select to "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". However, when I follow the same procedure with my iPad there is no checkbox to "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". It's just not there. Instead I see "Open iTunes when this iPad is selected".
If there is a setting in the Summary Tab to automatically sync an iDevice - I have never seen it. Yes there is a preference in iTunes to allow the devices to auto sync - but the setting in iTunes is for iTunes to open automatically when the device is connected. That setting is greyed out if you turn off auto sync in the iTunes preferences. There is also a setting to sync over WiFi and you have to enable that if you want to sync over WiFi - but not automatically sync over WiFi.
There is no setting on the iPad itself for auto syncing. There is a statement at the top of the iTunes WiFi sync setting that states the device will auto sync when plugged in, etc. - but no button to turn on Auto Sync on the iPad.
The iTunes Helper login item is if you cannot get iTunes to auto launch when your devices are connected. It should be enabled in that setting - iTunes Helper should be checked.

G4 QS 733 loses internet connect often with Comcast any ideas??

I have a G4 QS 733 that loses internet connection through Comcast at least 2 times a day everyday for no rhyme or reason. I have had the cable modem replaced (on number 7 in 18 months but 2 were dead out of the box stupid refurbs) with a Motorola Surfboard from Best Buy and when it works it is great - 13mbps download consistently. I have a Belkin router wireless/wi-if and a PC and the Mac wired to it at the same desk with KVM and when the Mac loses connection if I switch to PC the PC connects fine so I think it is in the Mac but not sure. I have had several Macs hooked up to this same router including 2 Intel minis, several G3 towers and a few G3 iMacs and G4 towers as well and ALL had this problem at one time or another with no explanation whatsoever. I have replaced everything a minimum of 2 times now including router,modem, cables etc. and the cable drop from pole to house was replaced a few months back but no luck. Also all computers, router etc all hooked to APC battery backups so I do not think it is power related. I have no problems connecting my Pismo wiht either an Airport card or a Belkin 54g wireless PCMCIA card so I am convinced it is in the ethernet somwehow but not sure where. Anyone else have the same problems and fixed it?? Comcast is just not helpful and 14 service calls in 18 months is wearing thin at this point.

Well just for kicks I tried running Firefox for a little over a week along with Safari and jumping back and forth between the 2, very interesting results. I have found that when Safari loses internet connection and gives "cannot find server" type errors that Firefox still has a connection and keeps right on going. I am convinced the error is within Safari but cannot pin down what it is yet. I had same EXACT disconnection issues with an Intel Mini that got so frustrating I finally sold it and it too was running Safari and I wonder if it had the same issue. Not bashing Safari but maybe there is a problem with Safari and Comcast cable that is not showing up with other internet providers or browsers ?? I am pretty sure my connection is good as all the cable wires, modem etc are all new and my PC which his hooked to the same router and shares the monitor/keyboard with the G4 never loses connection when Safari does so I think this cuts the cable out of the loop as a problem. Anyone else have similar issues???

I lose internet connectivity OFTEN. 2 times today. Anyone know why?

I lose connectivity to the internet. It happens quite often. I use Firefox exclusively. When I lose the connection I have to go to Explorer and run the trouble shooter there. It finds the problem every time and I can reconnect using Firefox. Any ideas why? Thanks

Is there no one else that has this problem? It has happened to me twice in the last couple of hours. I'll have to quit using Firefox

When iPhone 3GS is connected iTunes doesn't launch

Updated to iTunes 9, updated iPhone to 3.1. When iPhone gets connected iTunes doesn't launch automatically. I should add though, that my ipod shuffle when connected does auto launch iTunes.

Here's what I did: uncheck "disable autosync for ipod and iphones" in itunes/settings. Then connect your phone, go to summary pane and choose "sync when this phone is connected". Go back to itunes/settings and select "disable autosync..." again. Check the summary pane again, autosync should be garyed out again. Close itunes, disconnect the phone. Connect again and itunes should auto launch without starting to sync.
