I can't get WiFi sync to work - connected to university network

I am currently connected (both my iPhone and Mac) to my universities wireless network and I can't get WiFi Sync to work. It doesn't even show up in my iTunes (my iPhone). Everything is updated.

You're a mouthy little f**king c*nt aren't you. Learn how to spell! You are "sopost" to have a fully functioning brain before you attempt to use an Apple product, so just return it to the store, tell them that you are too much of a f**king ******* to upgrade the ipod, and then you can go back to your life of welfare checks and unemployment.

I have upgraded to ios5 but can't get wifi sync to work.

I have just upgraded to iOS5 but cant get wifi sync to work. The main itunes library is hosted on my imac. The message on the ipad (and iphone) is that it is waiting on my imac to be available but the imac is on and connected to the same network as the ipad. Is there something I need to do on the imac to get it to communicate with the ipad?

From the iOS 5 manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) :
Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPad to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable. In iTunes, turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection” in the device’s Summary pane.
When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad automatically syncs every day. iPad must be connected to a power source, both iPad and your computer must be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must be open on the computer. For more information, see “iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.”

Can't get WiFi sync to work with iOS 5 devices

I have an iPad 1 and an iPhone 3GS, both running iOS 5. I can't get either device to synch to my iTunes library wirelessly. I have seen the procedures in the KB, but the part that I am missing is that neither device has the "Sync with this iOS device over WiFi" option in the device summary in iTunes, even though I am running iTunes 10.5. Is this because I am running OS X 10.5?

Oops, she rebooted and problem solved.

I CAN'T GET WIFI SYNC TO WORK

WHY CAN'T I GET THIS TO WORK! I HAVE LATEST ITUNES, I HAVE IOS 5 ON MY IPOD, I CLICKED SYNC WITH THIS IPOD OVER WIFI, THEN SAID APPLY, AND EVEN SYNCED IT 11 TIMES! UNPLUGGED IT AND IT DOESN'T FUKCING WORK

My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, "Please enter you WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits)" but my netwotk uses a password of 6 characters. How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network?

I have a current iMac with the latest OS update.
My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, “Please enter your WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits). My Airport Express, an early model, only requires a password of less than 10 characters.
When I open “airport utility,”on my iMac it tells me this version doesn’t support my base station & says go to “Airport Service & Support.” That’s what got me here.
My earlier MacBook runs OS 10.6.8. Its version of Airport Utility works. Its Airport ID has 17 characters, & uses the same password to access the internet, but it also has a “wireless password” of 26 characters, but only shows me the dots. i haven’t the foggiest notion what the characters are, if I put them in there years ago when i did the original configuration, or if they got there otherwise..
I’m afraid of changing those settings for fear that I’l mess up the whole thing.
How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network, ?

1212m - can't get external sync to work under XP Home...

I gave up trying to run this card under my XP64 system because it's not compatible with 64-bit apps. That's the subject of another thread...
I used to run it in an XP Pro system (32 bit) but have now moved it to an XP Home system and I can't get the external sync to work. The sync is coming in on the ADAT line and I select it in the options menu but the mixer always says "Internal" source for the clock. Furthermore, when I set the source to external, close the options dialog, then re-open it, it's back on internal.
The ADAT lines are correctly linked because I can hear the distorted audio coming across. What's more, when I set external sync in the options, the card seems to be sync'ed because the distortion goes away, even thoug the mixer still says internal sync. But if I shut down and re-boot, or if I change sample rate on the external source, it goes back to the distorted sound.
Let's see if this one gets any responses...

You will have to keep them both open and play around with monitor settings until you get them both working. Keep doing "Gather windows" in System Preferences to get the display preferences window for the 2nd monitor and change it each time it doesn't display anything.
I don't know what it means "you will have to set it".
You have to set the desktop for the additional screen. Once you get closed clamshell to work, the external monitor will be your primary screen and you won't have to worry about it.

I can't get the sync to work or accept a generated sync key

I have gotten a new computer to replace a new one that was defective & have been trying to sync the new new one & I can't get it to sync.
I generate a 9 digit code from the defective one to enter it into the new computer but then it asks for a sync recovery code which I never was asked for before when I synced. I said I lost it & I generated a new one. When I put the code in that was generated from the other computer it doesn't accept it & says it's not valid. I've even tried saying I lost the computer & let it generate a new code & it won't accept that.
I unsynched the defective computer & it still won't work.
I'm getting very frustrated because I can't access my add on's, etc.
I can't even find a phone number to call & get help from anyone. VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!
I need to get this resolved fast because I have to return this computer!!!!
HELP!

I have tried this several times & nothing works. I tried doing these steps from the computer that is already working & I also tried it the other way In either case even if I say I don't have the device with me & it generates a new sync key it doesn't like it.
I will try it again but please clarify:
do I follow those steps on the new computer & copy the 12 character code to the old computer or visa versa?
If it generates a new code & it says it's not valid then what? I don't want to lose everything that is on this computer if I can't set up the new one.

Help!! can't get my airport express to connect to my network

I have set up my airport express to connect to my network so I can play itunes with it but it says that the Airport has been set up but cannot connect To my network. I've tried it on both my computer and my wife's computer and we have the same problem. I have been able to connect in the past with my Airport express that I had for this one but for some reason I can't seem to connect it using this airport express. Any help would be much appreciated.

When joining a non-Apple WEP encrypted wireless network with an AirPort, you must use one of two different styles for password entry depending on whether the network is protected with an ASCII or HEX key.
ASCII password
If using a password that is plain ASCII text, use the double quotation mark (") before and after the password. These are case-sensitive, and they are at least five characters long for 40-bit encrypted networks or at least 13 characters long for 128-bit encrypted networks.
Hexadecimal password
If using a password that uses only the hexadecimal range of characters, add a dollar sign ($) before the password. These passwords are at least 10 characters long for 40-bit encrypted networks or at least 26 characters long for 128-bit encrypted networks.

Can't get firefox sync to work. I keep getting 'Error While Syncing' message

I am on Mac OS X 10.6.4, Snow Leopard on a Mini Mac a year old.
I got a message from X Marks telling me they were shutting down.
As I use my bookmarks every day and have thousands of them all sorted into folders I definitely never want to lose them or lose access to them if my house burns down or my computer is stolen!
I was using Firefox 3.6 and followed X Marks advise and downloaded Firefox Sync...but...won't work....kept giving me the 'Error While Syncing' message after trying to sync for a while. I looked at the blog and tried a few things like resetting password, restarting computer, checking my setting etc., but no deal. So, as the Firefox Sync download page told me that if I was using Firefox 4 beta the feature was built in and I didn't need the download, I then downloaded Firefox 4....which has removed my X Marks option, which was at least viable till after Xmas! and I still have the 'Error While Syncing' message beside the Sync button on my status bar....so now I am completely at a loss. The only thing I can do if I can't fix it up is go back to 3.6 and go on using X Marks while it is still available and pray that you get this sorted out before they dissappear.
I also like to be able to get my updated bookmarks on the other browsers I use, like Chrome and IE, so I would really appreciate it if you would include this cross browser sync capability as soon as you can. I have pledged X Marks that I would even pay for their service to continue as it seems they are so ahead of anyone else in their service and it is a large pain in the you know where that they can't keep going.
Thanks. and I hope you can help. From the blogs it seems that I am not the only one having this problem of getting the Firefox Sync working

@globaltruth
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it. Unfortunately, the error message still sits on my statusbar, right after the Firefox Sync image.

Can't get android sync to work - articles seem out of date

Hi, The articles on Mozilla about sync seem to be out of date. None match what I see on my screens and I have the most current versions.
I do not see a sync code link when I go to the sync menu on my pc.
I also go to the top right menu on my android and the sync button on the next screen does nothing.
Banging my head against the wall now. None of the articles match what I see on my pc screen or on my android screen.
my android also tells me my account login info is wrong even though I am logged in using the same info on my pc.
Please help. Thanks

Hi robert123456
1. If the article Kevin posted (thanks Kevin! ) is out of date then please let us know. I don't think it is.

After another day of trying I think I have NetworkManager working but not sure how good, especially when I don't have a clue what I am doing I have read, re read wireless and networkmanager wikis and it was not until I looked for a step by step guide that I found this http://evilshit.wordpress.com/2012/09/1 … th-gnome3/. Although for gnome it is much the same for kde where you install kde plasma nm-applet. In this article it did specically state to remove all dhcpcd services.
In the NetworkManager wiki I did state " Note: You must ensure that no other service that wants to configure the network is running; in fact, multiple networking services will conflict. You can find a list of the currently running services with systemctl --type=service and then stop them." However it was not until I read the evilshit article that I found out dhcpcd had to be removed. For newbies wikis need to be more specific. Enspecially I think setting up ethernet and wireless connections.

Can't get wifi working on X201 after installing Win 7 64 bit

I've just purchased an X201 type 3294 with a 320gb HDD running Windows 7 64bit. Wifi works fine when running from the original HDD. I've pulled the HDD and replaced it with an SSD and installed windows 7 64 bit so I can use the 4gb RAM which came with the computer. I did a fresh install then started trying to install drivers. I started with Wifi first so I could download the rest of the drivers directly to the computer. I can't get wifi working after installing Windows 7 64bitfor some reason. I have the original HDD in an external enclosure so I can still access it.
I can't figure out what drivers I need, or even what adapter I have on the computer.Lenovo's part look up tells me the adapter is part number 60Y3231, but that information seems to be useless. I've tried most of the drivers on Lenovo's driver page. I've tried just copying the C:/Drivers folder from the original HDD, and just about anything else I can thinkof.
Anyone know how I can get the right driver, or if this is even a driver problem? For what it's worth I'm not afraid of having to learn some terminal if I have to but I'm totally unfamiliar with Win 7. I have much more experience with XP, Vista and OSX/some Ubuntu.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and welcome,
If you have a wired connection you could try installing ThinkVantage System Update. Run it and it should find all the appropriate drivers and install them for you.
That FRU seems to be an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200. It's hard to tell from the drivers page which one to use. Most of the README files include 6200. My best guess: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/g1w218ww_s64.exe

HT4356 I can't get air print to work from my iPhone 4. I've verified everything. Th phone gets WIFI from AT&T. Computer's WIFI through Netgear, Charter. How do I resolve this?

I can't get air print to work from my iPhone 4. I have newest phone operating system, and the phone is air print enabled.
The phone gets WIFI from AT&T. My computer, to which my printer is wirelessly connected, gets WIFI from Charter Communications and a Netgear router.
That must be the problem. How do I resolve that?

For Airprint to work your iPhone and printer must be on the same local network. Your printer must support Airprint (see here for list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356).
Can you connect your iPhone to the Netgear router WiFi?

ITunes WiFi sync not working after Lion reinstall

Hello all,
Here is the situation. Wifi syncing was working superbly well for both my iPhone and my iPad. They could be upstairs while I was downstairs in my office and I would see them both in iTunes and could sync them at will. Great stuff!
Until yesterday. I bought a new hard drive for my Macbook Pro, installed Lion on it and imported all of my apps and settings on it. Everythings works fine EXCEPT for wifi syncing. When I plug my devices to the USB cable I see them appear in the iTunes sidebar but I soon as I disconnect them, POOF! They're gone!
The checkbox IS checked. I tried unchecking it, syncing via USB, rechecking it an resyncing to no avail. I just can't get the darned thing to work again!
Both devices and the laptop have been restarted multiple times.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Can't believe it was so simple.
I just restarted my Mac and everything came back to normal.
Ok then sorry for the disturbance, move along, nothing to see here.

Wifi Sync not working on iOS 6 and iTunes 10.7 with iPhone 4S

I am running Windows 7 64-bit but WiFi Sync is not working on either my iPhone 4S or my wife's iPhone 4S. Worked fine before upgrading. All settings look correct in iTunes 10.7 and on our iPhones 4S's. Already tried uninstalling iTunes and all associated Apple programs (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, etc) and reinstalling iTunes but no help. Temporarily disabling Norton Firewall did not help. If I hook up either of our two 4S phones via USB wire, they Sync and Backup fine. Just WiFi Sync not working. Can't initiate sync from iPhones because button is ghosted stating it is waiting for PC to be present. Phones don't show up under Devices in iTunes unless hard-wired via USB cable. Any suggestions?

I am getting sync issues too (although on OSX) - seems like others are getting issues too:
