IPhone 6 does not show in iTunes when using WiFi

My iPhone 6+ shows up in iTunes when connected via USB. But if I disconnect the cable and turn off iTunes and then come back later it does not show up like my iPhone 5 did using OS 7.
I have the option selected in iTunes to "automatically connect using WiFi".
I have tried turning off my phone and restarting iTunes but it does not help.
Any suggestions?

Greetings Paul,
It sounds as though you are attempting to sync with iTunes via WiFi, and are running into some complications. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes WiFi sync:
Sync using Wi-Fi
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
When 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 the following conditions are true:
The iOS device is charging.
iTunes is open on the computer.
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
While the iOS device is 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 doesn't appear in the Devices section or you can't sync, please try these steps.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

    :-) the problem is solved. Thanks to a great typ in one of the other discussions with alt+cmd+S iTunes looks again like something I recognize. After removing the iPod from iMac and also from the connecting "holder", turning it on ad off, rebooting the iMac, maggic happens and the iPod now shows in iTunes and everything works just fine.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • Ipod touch 2G not recognized by itunes when using wifi

    I can connect to internet by wifi through network set up with Linksys. iPod recognized by network, Norton, and set as Full Trust. Windows Firewall turned off. iTunes does not show connection to ipod with wifi in iTunes. Tried everything on Apple webpage regarding connection. I can't use Documents to Go, Remote, unless connected to itunes by wifi. Any suggestions?

    I am not trying to connect the ipod to the internet. it is already connected to it via wifi. I have no problem with that. I am trying to get iTunes to recognize the ipod through wifi, and not through a direct USB connection. Documents to Go will only download to the ipod through a wifi connection to iTunes. It will not download through the USB connection. If that is not possible, is there another app that I can download my Word or Excel documents, and work on them on my iPod?
    Thanks.

  • IPhone not recognized in iTunes when using WiFi sync

    I have found that my iPhone is frequently not recognized when using WiFi sync.  The only way to sync my phone when that happens is to use the old fashioned way--connect it to my computer via USB.  Then the phone is recognized and syncs fine.  The device shows even when I take my iPhone off power.  But when I close iPhone and later reopen it and plug in my iPhone to power, often it is not recognized.  I've tried everything I can think of but nothing works.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem.  It was working just fine and then just mysteriously stopped showing up in iTunes (my iPad still shows up & syncs via wifi just fine--it is just my iPhone).  Someone please reply soon, this is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance!!

  • IPhone does not appear in iTunes when connected

    After installing new iTunes update, my phone is no longer recognized when I attempt to sync and has been running very very low lately.  HELP PLEASE!

    Thanks to recmd for directing me to the solution for iTunes not "seeing" my iPhone!!
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11761418?messageID=11761418 is the link, but I will recap it here:
    Win XP machines that are seeing the iPhone as a camera or portable drive, but not showing in iTunes should do this - takes 5 minutes!!
    Connect iPhone
    Open Control Panel
    double click on System
    choose Hardware tab
    click Device Manager
    find iPhone - probably under Imaging Devices
    right click iPhone
    choose Properties
    click driver tab
    choose Update Driver
    select "Install from list or specific location" and click Next
    choose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" and click next
    there should be 2 drivers listed; highlight Apple Mobile Device driver
    click ok
    iPhone should now connect
    close out of Device Manager and Control Panel
    open iTunes and see your iPhone appear!!
    You may have to do this with all phones that you sync.
    Hope this helps - it worked for the phones in our family!

  • Windows: iphone does not show in itunes

    Hi all,
    I used to sync my iphone with itunes on my notebook.
    I realy dont know what changed but: from one day to the other, itunes does not recognize the iphone any more.
    ( the cable seems to be ok, since when I connect the iphone to a different computer, itunes fires up ok)
    I checked the support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 ), so:
    i have the usbaapl.sys file in system32/drivers; ok
    the apple serverices are running; ok
    BUT: the iphone is not listed under USB devices in the device manager
    (btw: the windows camera diaglog fires up as expected, when the iphone is connected )
    I restarted my notebook, reinstalled itunes, turned the Iphone off and on - no change.
    I realy need my iphone to sync again - so please help.

    The only other option I can think, is that you should try a program called revo uninstaller. It will go through and not only uninstall the program but also delete all registry files and files/folders related to the program. Before you do this, you should backup iTunes onto DVDs or to a hard drive.
    If this doesn't work, then it is a problem with the Windows OS itself and not with the iPhone software on Windows.
    One last thing, when you connect your iPhone, do the following:
    -Right click on My Computer and select Manage
    -Select Device Manager
    -Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers
    -Do you see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver"?
    -Try right clicking on it and select uninstall.
    -Disconnect and reconnect your iPhone.

  • Iphone does not appear in itunes when connected to XP computer

    I have the latest version of itunes and iphone software. When I connect my iphone 3GS through a USB to my computer (windows XP), the computer recognises the device as a hard drive in "my computer" and I can import photos. However Itunes when opened up no longer recognises the phone and so I cannot sync or set parameters etc. This has happened with my childrens ipods as well on a different XP computer. I have used several usb leads but same problem. Any ideas? Many thanks.  Mark

  • CSM does not show rule numbers when using sections?

    I started using sections in access rules within CSM 4.2 but all the rules that are within these section do not show anymore the rule number in the list.
    Can this be changed? Is this a bug?

    The numbers are shown, but you have to expand the column. Somehow cisco makes the no. column to small to see the numbers in a section by default. And they replace the numbers with a dot or two as soon as it is too small to display the numbers.
