How to set up wifi sync ios 5

hey guys
I have Ios 5 and itunes 10.5 but how do you get it to sync wirelessly as in the sync setting it says it will sync when my mac is available, but its on with itunes open
has any one actually got it to work
thanks

Steps to get it working:
1. Connect device with USB to iTunes
2. Turn on Wifi sync in iTunes - in device Summary > Options page
3. Make sure device is connected to power adapter - otherwise wifi sync does not work
4. After some playing you probably want to turn it off again - it is even slower than the USB sync

Jeff ~ Yes. Make a copy of the iWeb Domain file (normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, although it can be moved) and then open it in iWeb by double-clicking. Delete the site you don't want in that Domain file by selecting the site in the left side column and then Edit menu > Delete Site. Then you can transfer than Domain file to another computer, but check out NOTE 1 here:

HT1296 How do I switch WiFi syncing on my iOS device from an old computer to a new computer?

While trying to move between an old computer a new computer I find that I cannot convince my iPad to WiFi sync to the new computer and no amount of power cycles seems to affect it.

You set up WiFi syncing for a new computer just like you did for the old computer.
If you still have the old computer, connect the iPad to it and unselect WiFi Syncing with it. Uncheck Sync this iPad over WiFi and click on Apply, then eject the iPad.
I assume the power cycles means turning on off the iPad and the computer and restart them. Instead of just restarting the iPad, reset it and reboot your computer again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
It might not hurt to reboot your router either. Unplug it for about 30 seconds - or is this part the the "power cycles" that you already tried?
It would really help if you explain what happens, what steps you have gone through, etc ....rather than just making a statement about what you can't do. If you tell is what you have gone through, it might be helpful.
Are you taking about all WiFi syncing or can you manually initiate the sync but it will not auto sync when plugged in etc, etc. .... Details ....

Trouble setting up Wifi Syncing with iPhone 4

I'm trying to set up Wifi syncing with my iPhone 4 and when I disconnect the cable the device does not remain under devices on iTunes. This means wifi syncing is not possible.
Any ideas what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Rhys

First you need to check the box 'Sync this iPhone over WIFI'.
Connect your device to your computer, select our iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane. Then on right Pane, scroll down under 'Summary' tab to check above box and click the APPLY button on the lower right window.

Setting up wifi sync

How do i set up the ios5 wifi sync option?

Here is how it work on both my iphone 4S and Ipad 2.
OSX 10.7 updated, Ipad Update to ISO 5; Iphone 4S on IOS 5
Itunes must be running. Plug in Iphone or Ipad it works the same.
1. Under Devices slect iphone or ipad
2. Under Summary tab; options check on Sync with this Ipad; iphone over wifi.
3. Click apply on the bottom right.
4. Click Sync on the bottom right.
now you are ready to sync wirelessly with out being connected to power. You do have to do
it manually but the following works as long as the devices are on. I have tested with them with
what I call asleep. It does work.
If you are in Itunes on your computer you can select the device you wish to sync and then click on
sync in the bottom right hand corner. It will begin to syn and show it on either device.
In my testing both devices and my Imac are on the same wireless network.
Next; On your iphone or ipad got to settings
Once you have synced you are now set to sync wirelessly. I am not sure yet what gets synced.
I am still testing that.
On your device go to settings/general/Itunes Wi-Fi Sync, select Sync now. In a second or two your device should show that it is syncing right next to the wifi signal indicator.
I have doing it this way for two days.
Let me know if I have missed a step or something.
Hope this helps someone.

How prevent Apple from WiFi-uploading iOS Updates

I am running iOS7 on my deveices and have disabled automatic updates.
Now I see that they misued my WiFi-connection twice to upload iOS 8 and 8.02. I know how to delete them but don't want to allow this misuse in the first place.
As owner of my devices I find this intrusive behavior impertinent and unacceptable.
How can I stop uploading unwelcome iOS updates against my will into the memory of my devices?

I configured all my iOS devices to sync with my MBP Retina (over wifi) - but the problem is that when I am using my MBA, the devices will also automatically connect to the MBA Itunes over wifi when I launch iTunes in the MBA.
Is there any way to prevent auto connection to the MBA?

How to set up wifi hotspot connectivity

I have an old laptop that was upgraded from XP to Vista Business. It runs OK but is very slow. I have Fios wireless at home and it connects fine, but the In-house Agent won't run properly (blank pages for the Internet & Phone sections...Chat tech was unhelpful). My question is: how can I set up the hotspot connectivity without having to use the worse-than-useless In-house agent?

the link I gave is for a windows machine
Droid has it's own app, and boingo is what Verizon uses - so you can safely download boingo and then when it asks for your login, you put your VZ log in info.
you DO have to create a seperate WIFI log in though, So you should go to www.verizon.net/
Hover over my verizon and then select VIEW all from the my services menu > then select internet on the left hand side menu > then select manage under the verizon wifi section.
Manage gives you two options
Find Wifi Hotspots
WiFI how to demos
Select Wifi how to demos and then click and follow the registration link
when you get there, it wants you to sign in, you sign in with your main account, and then you go through the Wi-fi registration steps to make a Verizon WIFI username
these are going to be seperate usernames, one used for your account and online access, you already have this one
and the next is one specifically for wifi hotspot access, you are creating this one (if you haven't already done so)

Zen Micro Calendar feature, how to set up to sync with MS Outlo

hi,
i finally got my zen micro working, it has fully charged and i have downloaded some songs to it, the sound is great and it's playing the music!!!
i'm now testing the calendar feature. does anyone know or have instructions on how to set up the zen micro to sync with MS Outlook to download the contacts, notes, etc?
thanks!!!

thanks Catherine,
i used the cd that came with the zen micro. what i did now is uninstall all creative softeware from my computer. rebooted.
then install the zen software for the micro. rebooted
after that, there was no shortcut to the zen micro explorer, only thing in the shortcut was the product registration.
but i installed the same on a machine that runs Windows 2000 and it installed everything correctly.
whereas the machine that does not work is using windows xp.
would there be a conflict with the zen micro software on a windows xp operating system?
thanks

How to set an alarm In iOS 7

How to set an alarm for tomorrow morning.

Ask siri... "Wake me up at 7:00 am."
Press and hold the home button at activate Siri and say the above phrase.
You can view/edit this. Open the "Clock" app and click on Alarm, second tab from the left. You'll see the alarm with the on/off ticker on ON (green). Press Edit to delete/edit the alarm. Set a Repeat if you want to have to go off every * days. And you get to choose what would be the sound that it uses. Personally I have it to play one of my songs from my music library. Also have the Snooze on so that I can just tap the screen to give me a 10 minute snooze.

How to set up iPhone 5 iOS 6 email with IMAP over SSL on a custom port?

Basically I have the same problem as this guy 5 years ago but the thread contained no useful answer. Maybe there are people out there who became smarter in the meantime? Please help me out how to get my iPhone read emails via IMAP over SSL on a custom port to the corporate server. The issue is that the iPhone only seems to work if you use the standard 993 port for IMAPS, not with a custom port as we have. I've installed the corporate root certificate in a profile, and it shows up as trusted and verified in the phone, so that should not be the issue. The mail app in the iPhone tries to connect, I can verify that from the server, but then does nothing, doesn't try to authenticate, doesn't log out, nothing is going on, and then drops the connection after 60 seconds. Repeats this every 5 minutes (as set to fetch e-mail every 5 minutes.)
Original thread 5 years ago: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8104869#8104869

Solved it by some (a lot) of fiddling.
Turns out it's not a bug in the iPhone, it's a feature.
Here's how to make it work.
DOVECOT
If the IMAPS port is anything other than 933 (the traditional IMAPS port) the iPhone's Mail App takes the "Use SSL" setting on the IMAP server as 'TLS', meaning it starts the communication in plain text and then issues (tries to issue) the STARTTLS command to switch the connection to encrypted. If, however, Dovecot is set up to start right away in encrypted mode, the two cannot talk to each other. For whatever reason neither the server nor the client realizes the connection is broken and only a timeout ends their misery.
More explanation about SSL/TLS in the Dovecot wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL
So to make this work, you have to set Dovecot the following way. (Fyi, I run Dovecot 2.0.19, versions 1.* have a somewhat different config parameters list.)
1. In the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf file make sure you specify the inet_listener imap and disable (set its port to 0) for imaps like this:
service imap-login {
inet_listener imap {
    port = --your port # here--
inet_listener imaps {
    port = 0
    ssl = yes
This of course enables unencrypted imap for all hackers of the universe so you quickly need to also do the things below.
2. In the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf file, make sure you set (uncomment) the following:
ssl = required
This sets Dovecot to only serve content to the client after a STARTTLS command was issued and the connection is already encrypted.
3. In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf set
disable_plaintext_auth = yes
This prevents plain text password authentication before encryption (TLS) is turned on. If you have also set ssl=required as per step 2, that will prevent all other kinds of authentications too on an unencrypted connection.
When debugging this, please note that if you connect from localhost (the same machine the server runs on) disable_plaintext_auth=yes has no effect, as localhost is considered secure. You have to connect from a remote machine to make sure plain text authentication is disabled.
Don't forget service dovecot restart.
To test if your setup works as it's supposed to, issue the following (green) from a remote machine (not localhost) (I'm using Ubuntu, but telnet and openssl is available for almost all platforms) and make sure Dovecot responds with something like below (purple):
telnet your.host.name.here yourimapsportnumber
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED] Dovecot ready.
Most importantly, make sure you see 'STARTTLS' and 'LOGINDISABLED'. Then issue STARTTLS and hopefully you see something like this:
a STARTTLS
a OK Begin TLS negotiation now.
(The 'a' in front of STARTTLS is not a typo, a prefix is required by the IMAP server in front of all commands.)
Close the telnet (with 'a logout' or Ctrl+C) and you can use openssl to further investigate as you would otherwise; at the end of a lot of output including the certificate chain you should see a line similar to the one below:
openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect your.domain.name.here:yourimapsportnumber
. OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more.
You can then use the capability command to look for what authentication methods are available, if you see AUTH=PLAIN, you can then issue a login command (it's already under an encrypted connection), and if it's successful ("a OK Logged in"), then most likely your iPhone will be able to connect to Dovecot as well.
a capability
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN
a login username password
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS
a OK Logged in
POSTFIX
Likewise, you have to set Postfix to wait for STARTTLS before encrypting the communication.
1. You have to delete the setting smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes from /etc/postfix/master.cf and/or /etc/postfix/main.cf, if it was enabled. This will mean Outlook won't be able to connect any more because it requires a TSL connection without issuing STARTTLS as per Postfix documentation (haven't tested.) In my case we don't use Outlook so I didn't care. Outlook + iPhone + custom SMTPS port are simply not possible together at the same time as far as I understand. Pick one to sacrifice.
2. Require encrypted (TLS) mode for any data transfer in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt
3. Authentication should only happen while already in encrypted (TLS) mode, so set in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes
Don't forget postfix reload.
To test if this works, issue the following telnet and wait for the server's greeting:
telnet your.host.name.here yoursmtpsportnumber
220 your.host.name ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
Then type in the EHLO and make sure the list of options contains STARTTLS and does not include an AUTH line (that would mean unencrypted authentication is available):
ehlo your.host.name.here
250-STARTTLS
Then issue starttls and wait for the server's confirmation:
starttls
220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
Once again, it's time to use openssl for further testing, detailed info here http://qmail.jms1.net/test-auth.shtml
CERTIFICATES
You also need to be aware that iOS is somewhat particular when it comes to certificates. First of all, you have to make sure to set the following extensions on your root certificate (probably in the [ v3_ca ] section in your /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf, depending on your openssl setup), especially the 'critical' keyword:
basicConstraints = critical,CA:true
keyUsage = critical, cRLSign, keyCertSign
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer:always
And then on the certificate you sign for your mail server, set the following, probably in the [ usr_cert ] section of /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf:
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
subjectAltName = DNS:your.domain.name.here
issuerAltName=issuer:copy
Please note, the above are results of extensive google-ing and trial and error, so maybe you can omit some of the stuff above and it still works. When it started working for me, I stopped experimenting because figuring this all out already took way too much time. The iPhone is horribly undocumented when it comes to details of its peculiar behaviors. If you experiment more and have more accurate information, please feel free to post here as a reply to this message.
You have to import your root certificate into your iPhone embedded in a profile via the iPhone Configuration Utility (free, but only available in Windows or a Mac; details here: http://nat.guyton.net/2012/01/20/adding-trusted-root-certificate-authorities-to- ios-ipad-iphone/ ), after having first added it to Windows' certificate store as a trusted root certificate. This way the Utility will sign your certificate for the phone and it becomes usable; if you just add it from the phone it will be there but won't be used. Using a profile has the added benefit of being able to configure mail settings in it too, and that saves a lot of time when you have to install, remove, reconfigure, install again, etc. a million times until it works.
Another undocumented constraint is that the key size is limited to a max of 4096. You can actually install a root certificate with a larger key, the iPhone Configuration Utility will do that for you without a word. The only suspicious thing is that on the confirmation screen shown on your iPhone when you install the profile you don't get the text "Root Certificate/ Installing the certificate will add it to the list of trusted certificates on your iPhone" in addition to your own custom prompt set up in the iPhone Configuration Utility. The missing additional text is your sign of trouble! - but how would know that before you saw it working once? In any case, if you force the big key certificate on the device, then when you open the Mail App, it opens up and then crashes immediately. Again, without a word. Supposedly Apple implemented this limit on the request of the US Government, read more here if you're interested: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/kamtec1/archive/2012/10/13/limitation-of-appl e-devices-iphone-ipad-etc-on-rsa-key-size-bit.aspx .
IN CLOSING...
With all this, you can read and send email from your iPhone.
Don't forget to set all your other clients (Thunderbird, Claws, etc.) to also use STARTTLS instead of SSL, otherwise they won't be able to connect after the changes above.

How do I initiate WiFi Sync?

iOS 5 installed, OS X 10.7.2 installed, iTunes 10.5 running, iPhone plugged into power, both iPhone & Mac on same WiFi network: but no Sync. What's missing to make it happen?

I was having trouble sync'ing despite having all the right check boxes checked, etc.
The fix was to restart my Airport (wireless router). (probably resets local IP's to confirm device identities, etc.)
After that both my iPad and iPhone showed up in iTunes as devices as if they were plugged in.
Now they will auto-sync if plugged in to power and connected to the same wi-fi network or I can force-sync when unplugged by going into (on the iPhone or iPad) Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync > Sync Now.
