HT1386 iPhone and iPad don't always appear in iTunes for wifi sync, why? Sometimes, when my phone and ipad are both turned on and I open iTunes it shows "2 devices" in iTunes and I can sync. Often one or neither will show up, no matter what I do.

I can sync my iphone and ipad over wifi using itunes, but not always. In fact quite frequently neither shows up in itunes. I try to reboot them and sometimes they show up, but not all the time. I have tried rebooting iphone and ipad, the computer, checking and unchedking "sync over wifi," etc.
Nothing changes. Very often one or both do not show up to be synced. they work find if connected by usb cable, but not over wifi.
any help would be appreciated.

So far I've found the only remedy is to reboot my server (Mavericks Server is my OS).
Clearly there is some system service getting hosed. If I can figure out which service to kill and let launchd restore the service, I can save some grief.

I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

I have a desktop pc with itunes. I just purchased a Mac Air book. Can I sync my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, to both computers. Or do I have to pick one? I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC? Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

Hi, I recently got an iPad air. Singed in for new registration with cc details as I had no other option I already own an iPhone and also my husband owns one. Both have same Apple ID to sync with iCloud But after registering for iPad all free are charging

Hi, I recently got an iPad air. Singed in for new registration with cc details as I had no other option
I already own an iPhone and also my husband owns one. Both have same Apple ID to sync with iCloud
But after registering for iPad all my free apps are asking me to purchase those free apps. I have no idea what went
Wrong, please help.

You created the same Apple ID with the setup assistant on the new iPad Air - the same Apple ID used for the iTunes and App Store on your iPhone?
There is no charge for a free app regardless.

HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
Thank you so much.
I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

HI! I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away. My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily. Is there something that I need to configure? I have no issues if I am close to it. Thank you!

Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

HT5625 I'm trying to create a new Apple ID but when I was putting on my information, there's a box asking for an ITunes gift code. What's this and how can I get one?

You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

Hi karen615,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Best regards,

I've had a fault with the hard drive on my laptop, it's been replaced and now my iphone and ipod can not sync unpurchased items with itunes. Is there anyway of sorting this without uploading all of my CD's again?

If your CDs are on your iPod/iPhone, they can be recovered from there,see this post:

Your problem shows the importance of making backups.

I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room, when i recently updated my new iPhone it has backed up to my old iPhone and I have therefore lost pictures, messages etc from my new phone how can I get it all back?

I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room. I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone, I have therefore lost pictures, messages and apps from my new iPhone as it has backed up to the last session of the old phone, how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?

No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

Double click the home button (square) and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
Good luck hope it works.

I made a ringtone on an app I got on my iPhone, I put it on iTunes and synced it with my iPhone and I can't find it on my phone, where do I have to look in order to find it?

When you synced in iTunes did you select your phone in devices on t left column and then click on tones int eh window on the right. When you synced did you tick all tones and tick sync and then click sync at the bottom of the window on the right? Was the ton ein the tones folder in the library folder?

My daughter got a new iphone and gave me her other one. How do I sync it to ITunes under my name?

My daughter got a new iphone and gave me her old one. How do I now sync it with ITunes under my name?

I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library. At least this is how iPods work. I'm not sure about iPhones. If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems. The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time. I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer.

By asking your friend.
Chances are it was hacked (jailbroken).

Apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back.

Hi, apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back. Spotify, Shazam, BBC iPlayer and the Maps app have just gone. I have tried to redownload them from the App Store but there isn't the option, cant get them back with iTunes either. Help!

I wish it was as simple as that. I have tried to redownload them but they are marked as installed.
I have even gone into iTunes and in the app tab untucked the disappeared apps, synced, then reticked the apps. This is where the strangest thing happens, the app appears on my iPhone, the progress bar goes from zero to the top, then, when the app should be installed, it disappears.
So far Spotify, BBC iPlayer, the Maps app, iFooty, and probably some apps I'm not aware of are affected.
Interestingly, the apps have also gone from my wife's iPhone which is on the same Apple I'd, but they haven't gone from my iPad which is also on the same Apple I'd.
