Iphone, ipad connect to itunes over wifi

itunes version 11.4. Macbook Pro OS 10.9.5. iOS version 8.0.2. All the latest versions available. Ever since upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 neither of my iPhones 5, or iPad mini, is discovered by itunes wirelesly over wifi. Works with wire, but not over wifi. Is this a problem or a bug with the new software? Does anybody have any suggestion here? I turned wifi off, and then back on. relaunched itunes a few times, the sync over wifi is checked as always. Since it is hapening on two different laptops, and all three of my iOS devices, this is not a coincidence but a real issue. Thanks. Chris.

Same problem for me. I have tried everything recommended in the other threads on this subject, but nothing is a permanent fix. I believe that the issue is with the iOS update. It is very frustrating.

IPod touch 5th Gen. not connecting to iTunes over wifi

Hi
My iPod touch has suddenly, in the last few days stoped being able to sync with the contents of my iMac over wifi. In the options part when a Device is conected to iTunes, there is a check box which I always have ticked. I have unticked this box and resynced, then reticked this box and resynced, but this has not worked. The only was to get music on to my iPod which I have on my iMac is to connect it the old fashion way with a cable.
The iPad mini has stayed connected. Both Devices are running iOS 8.2. I don't know what has done wrong

Thank you for your swift help. I think you should go to Level 11 just for helping me solve my problem.

My devices will not connect to iTunes over WiFi or over USB. No indication is given of connection

I was attempting to restore a 3rd generation iPod for a friend but the device would not connect to iTunes. I attempted to connect my 5th generation iPod touch but it would not connect either. I can see it is connected in the computers files but it does not appear on iTunes.

Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out? Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device. Then restore it as a new device. If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue. They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19. Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

My iphone will connect to itunes via wifi but not throught the cable

A month ago i noticed that when i plugged my phone into the computer it made the little dings but it wasnt charging. i looked at itunes and it wasnt on there either. i went through and updated my phone with my computer so it would recognize it again, hoping that it would fix all problems. Instead it just fixed the charging. Id plug it in and it would charge but not sync to itunes.
Prior to it not working, i had set it up to where it could sync through wifi. That is the only way i can sync my phone. I've Uninstalled itunes and the reinstalled it and it didn't make a difference. does ANYBODY have any clue as to what to do? I have Windows 8.1 and an iPhone 5s.

Hello, juliag1212.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver. Be sure to test connecting the device to the computer with another sync cable if available.

IPhone no longer connects to iTunes via Wifi

On July 1,12 my iTunes did an automatic update. After the computer restarting and I entered iTunes and the following messages appeared:
Message 1: Must reinstall itunes to connect to ipod or mobile devices.
Message 2: CD/DVD folder must be located in itunes folder in order to use with itunes
I have 2 iphones (both 4s, bought at same time, both running iOS 5.1.1)and one will briefly connect to itunes via Wifi (I will identify this one as iphone1) but the other one will not (I will identify this one as iphone2). I have a PC with Windows 7.
When iphone1 is connected to itunes via wifi is disconnects randomly. Under: Summary > Version, it has the message: Connect this iphone using a USB cable in order to update or restore its software. When I have it connected with the USB cable, there are no problems. The settings selected under: Summary > Options > are: Open iTunes when this iphone is connected, Sync with this iphone over Wi-Fi, & Manually manage music and videos. The Setting under Backup > Back up to this computer (where it backs up to; I do not know)
iphone2 does not connect via Wifi but used to. It connects without issues with the USB. The Settings in iTunes > Summary are the same as iphone2 except that iphone2 is set as Backup > Back up to iCloud.
My iphone2 is my primary device. I use it exclusively; for music, taking photos, syncing photos to my Photo Stream folder on my PC, etc. The iphone1 is my spouse's secondary phone, so its not used as often (ie: only has 4 songs downloaded, used to take the odd picture, has a mirror image of apps from iphone2).
I searched Apple Support and tried the following solutions that didn't solve this problem:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows (support.apple.com/kb/TS1567) &
Set the Apple Mobile Device Service Startup type to Automatic
I have not done this: Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS. I did goto the: iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests > iOS > iPhone - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistantand into iTunes > Help > Run Diagnostics. The results were: All tests passed. (My iphone2 was plugged in with USB. The iphone1 was connected via WiFi.)
What do I do now? Do I need to remove and reinstall iTunes? and if so will I lose all my itunes info (videos, music, apps, settings) or will it just show up after I install iTunes?

Hi Mitch,
It sounds like you have already done many of the steps, but I would like you to look at this article -

and go over any that you may have missed.

Iphone will not connect to iTunes over wi-Fi

My iPhone will not update when i make changes in Outlook or connect to iTunes wirelessly.???

You will probably get better results if you post this question over in the iTunes forum. Syncing with iTunes over wifi has nothing to do with iCloud.

2 apps I have purchased show loading on iphone but when I snc with itunes it shows them installed every time I turn phone on it says connect to itunes or wifi to install What have I missed

2 Apps I have purchased just show on my iphone as loading yet when I sync phon with itunes it shows them as completely loaded every time I turn my phone on it tells me yo connect to itunes or WiFi to download these 2 What have I missed ?

Hello errod2014,
It sounds like you are unable to see your phone in iTunes after the computer turned off unexpectedly during an iOS update. I recommend resetting the phone first, and then attempting to restore with iTunes again.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If you are still unable to see your phone in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My ipad is not recognised in itunes over wifi anymore..

if i connect direct to pc everything is ok...just wont connect and sync over wifi...
anyone can help?

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Synchronizing iPhone/iPad with central iTunes

Hi,
I have an all Apple network which I just extended with a MacMini to be used as the centra repository for iTunes content. Other equipment is a MacBook Pro and iPhones/iPads. I have used the shared library (home sharing) function to get acces on the MacBook Pro to the central iTunes (residing on MacMini).
What I would like to do next is to synchronize the iPhone/iPad connected to the MacBook Pro (so not the MacMini) and would like to physically move music (so not Home Sharing) in order to listen to music outside my home (Apple) Wifi-network using iPhone/iPad. I am not sure how to to this, could you please share ideas / guidance on how to sync music to the iPhone?
Thx!
