Ios 5 wifi syncing working on iPhone but not iPad

I've updated all my devices (mbp to 10.7.2, iPhone 4 and iPad 1 to ios5). I've turned on wifi syncing for both the ios5 devices. The iPhone syncs just fine over wifi (when I unplug the usb cable it stays in the DEVICES list, when I plug it into an ac charger the wifi sync starts). The iPad doesn't. When I unplug the usb cable it disappears from the DEVICES list. Any ideas?

When I went to bed last night I unplugged my iPad from my mbp and it disappeared from iTunes. When I got up this morning, it showed up in iTunes (I didn't even have to plug it in). When I plugged the iPad into my AC charger, iTunes saw it and started a wireless sync. Go figure. Maybe it was just a time issue. I'd done my iPhone yesterday morning and my iPad last night. Maybe iTunes needs a few hours to actually recognize the wire connection..........

Wifi sync works for iPod but not iPad

I've seen lots of questions raised about wifi sync, most of which seem to have been resolved by checking the box in iTunes to enable wifi sync. My issue doesn't seem to be resolved so easily.
I have checked the iTunes box to enable wifi sync and turned off my firewall. I have reset my router. I reinstalled iTunes, and I even just reset my iPad to defaults and reloaded from scratch. Still, wifi sync doesn't work. It is working just fine on the same Windows PC with my iPod.
Anything else I could try?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

I have air printer that works on iPhones but not iPad 2

I have air printer that works with both iPhones but not with iPad2

Just to build on red_menace's answer a bit...
set MyText to do shell script "ps -A | grep '[M]ac VNC 2.1.app' | awk '{print $5}'"
log "MyText=" & MyText
set content of text field "Dir" of front window to MyText
The log command will write the results of the "do shell script" to Xcode's run log window. If you see the correct output there then you know that part is working correctly and the problem is in the way you're trying to insert the string into the text field. Maybe "Dir" doesn't match the name you've given your text field in IB? Or maybe your text field is contained within another view, such as an NSBox or an NSTabView?
Also, I guess "of front window" should work in AppleScript Studio but I always give my windows AppleScript names in IB and then explicitly specify the window in my scripts. Like this:
set content of text field "Dir" of window "MyWindow" to MyText

Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Working with iPhone But Not iPad

I recently got an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
o Exchange account
o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Server is "m.google.com"
o Domain is left blank
o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Password is correct
o Use SSL is turned on
o S/MIME is turned off
Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed". Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all. I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advance!
Best,
Alex

Hello there Alex,
Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Additional Information
Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
Take care,
Sterling

I agree. What I see is that it is creating an icloud calendar in Outlook but I want it to sync to Outook itself.
That is what it does. There is no sync, you have a new calendar.

IMessage working on iPhone but not on MacBook Pro or iPad Air

I Am getting increasingly frustrated that iMessage is working on my iPhone but not on iPad or MacBook Pro. I have tried settings system preferences, taking jabber off etc but still no joy. It's been two weeks now, can anybody help me please

HI,
In System Preferences > Internet Accounts you can enable some email type addresses (they may or may not be actual email addresses) to be able to join various services.
Therefore a Google ID can be activated for Messages as Google allow Google Mail IDs to use their GoogleTalk Service which in turn happens to be a Google Server.
At Facebook (if you have an account there) you can enable Chat which gives you a Facebook Chat ID which also runs off a Jabber server (the ID is similar to your regular ID but has chat in the name and does not work with the Mail App)
Apple Issued IDs (@mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com ending IDs) will work as AIM valid Screen Names in Messages until the 30th June at least (Then @mac.com and @me.com names will stop).
The iOS version of Messages will send either iMessages to Apple IDs and iPhone Numbers or in some cases will send SMS to other phones including iPhones that may not have enough service coverage to do iMessaging.
Of course people may use their Google ID as their Apple ID and use it in the Messages app on the Mac which in turn may mean it is the same on the iOS device.
The same can be done with Yahoo ID.
This means the email IDs from both those services could be used as a Messages account anyway, the iMessages ID as the Apple ID and be active for Mail in Internet Accounts.

Problem with wifi sync using both iPhone 4 and iPad 2

Ok. I've upgraded to iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5, wifi sync worked when I upgraded my iPhone 4. But, once I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 5, now niether shows up in the list on the left side. They don't show up when they're plugged in or anything. The "sync over wifi" check box under the device summary tab is checked for both as well.
So, anyone have any ideas?

Ok. Well, it seems to be working fine now. No idea why, but I'll take it.

WiFi in Asia works on iPhone but not Macbook Pro

I am currently traveling around Asia and I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone with me. I have had no problems connecting to WiFi networks with my iPhone (currently typing this message with it on my hotel's WiFi). However, my Macbook Pro has had endless issues. Sometime it works, but often it doesn't. The most common issue is that it gets a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet. It can usually find and connect to the WiFi network, but from there things get dodgy. As I said, it sometimes works fine. I would say it works on 1 out of every 3 networks that I try.
So far I have tried the following:
Renewing DHCP Lease (without client ID and with made up client ID)
Disabling firewall.
Turning off wifi and them back on.
Restarting computer.
Deleting WiFi service and recreating.
Creating new "location".
Repairing permissions.
Using different login account.
Manually entering TCP/IP settings copied from iPhone.
"Forgetting network" and rejoining.
None of the above has helped, except that one time renewing DHCP lease with a made up client ID did the trick.
I have the summer 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with OS 10.7.5 installed.
Any help would be very appreciated. :)

It doesn't seem like anybody is going to respond to this thread, but I guess I will keep updating it just in case (and perhaps if I ever find a solution it will be helpful to others).
Since my last post I have been to about 12 hotels in both Thailand and Cambodia. This issue has continued with some variations:
* At 3 of the hotels the wifi on my MacBook Pro actually worked! It seemed to work ok, with minimal speed issues.
* At 6 of the hotels the wifi did not work on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on my iPhone.
* At 3 of the hotels the wifi worked on my MacBook Pro but was PAINFULLY slow (to point where I couldn't upload photos, could barely check facebook, etc). In fact, it was so slow that I basically gave up using the internet with my MacBook Pro and used my iPhone instead (which had normal speeds).
I have continued to search the internet for solutions and nothing has helped yet. It seems like this is a common issue with newer MacBook Pros, especially with OS Lion.
I have also concluded that this isn't necessarily an Asia specific issue. It seems like an issue with my MacBook Pro and using various WiFi routers with various setups. Some work, but most do not. Unfortunately I do not have access to any of the routers that I am using, so changing router setup is not an option.

Wifi works on iPhone but not MacBook with more bars!

so, sitting in the same spot my MacBook Pro has 4/4 bars but the wifi only works for five seconds at a time (not literally but it feels like it), then I have to disconnect and reconnect. My iPhone has 2/3-3/3 bars and the wifi works great! why is this? Shouldn't the MacBook have better reception as its bigger/has more power? Why does it show more bars than the iPhone but hAbe a worse connection?

Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

My home made videos sync to my iphone but not my ipad?

I have some GoPro videos I've editted and saved as 720P HD movies. I have them loaded in iTunes. I have synced them successuflly to my iphone, but they refuse to sync to my iPad2. I am using iOS 7.0.3 on both (updated iPad to 7.0.4 last night and still won't sync). I've tried a bunch of different things but nothing seems to be working. Same files sync to iphone 4S, but not iPad2.

Might, but also shouldn't since you're talking wifi not cellular.
Have you tried to power cycle your router? Unplug it, wait 10 seconds or so, then plug it back in.

Facetime works on iphone but not on mac using snow leopard?

Face Time is synced to my iphone 4S, and Face Time works on it. But when I try to make calls on my imac (snow leopard) using Face Time, it doesn't work, it says that the 'call failed'. I've turned off Face Time on my iphone, so that the calls will go to the mac only, and calls i make will go from the mac only.
Any ideas?

The Version of Snow Leopard is 10.6
My only thought as to why Facetime is not working is because of the recent changeover to iOS 6.
Apple are obviously trying to get everyone on to Mountain Lion, but some users, including myself
prefer to wait a while to let the gremlins get sorted.
Any ideas on the above will be welcome

Music works on iPhone but not on iTunes

A really good chunk of my music doesn't work on iTunes anymore - I'll try to play it but get the message that iTunes can't find the file. It definitely still works on my iPhone, but I'm afraid to sync because I'm worried that what music does work on the iPhone will stop working when it syncs with iTunes.
What can I do to get the music that works on my phone back onto iTunes? I probably haven't synced the two since maybe the holiday season; I don't remember how long this has been happening, but it's not new.
Thank you in advance!

I figured out how to remedy this last night. I had to pull my music off of my iPhone since it was no longer on my hard drive -- I used a free program called [Senuti|http://www.fadingred.org/senuti> to transfer the music (note: you have to download the Beta, which is linked at the bottom of the page, for it to work with an iPhone).
The program's website has instructions on how to do the transfer without your phone syncing to your computer (which might delete the music from your phone that's missing in iTunes).
Senuti works by figuring out which music is already on your computer, and copying any music that isn't already there. The problem with this is that all of your music is listed in iTunes even though the files aren't there, so Senuti won't copy anything without some extra steps first.
I had to delete all the songs in my iTunes library (from within iTunes -- and make sure you choose to *keep the files* on your hard drive).
Then in iTunes, I chose *File >> Add To Library...* (or Command + O). By default my iTunes Music folder was already chosen, but you might have to navigate to it and then click "Open."
This will add the files that you do have back into your library. After this, use Senuti and it will copy over all of the missing files from your iPhone to your computer.
