IPhone Wireless Synch

I assume you will be able to synch the new 4s in the same manner using a usb cable. The reason I ask is I can't quite wrap my head around how you could specify what to synch on the initial setup. I have tons of apps and music on my computer but synch using the checkbox method (selecting by checkmarks to select what events in iPhoto, play lists, contacts, etc..) If you synch wirelessly out of the box, all of your content will be transfrerred.
Once the initial setup is done, a wireless synch would be great as it tranfers bought apps and songs on the fly when purchased. It's only the initial setup I'm not sure of.

These answers are great to this persons question. However, how do you use wireless sync to begin with. I can not seem to access it on either my iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4?
First of all, you must be running iOS 5 and the latest iTunes. Then, you need to do a final wired sync and enable the option to use wifi sync (it is on the iTunes information tab of your iPhone or iPad when plugged in). You cannot just wifi sync out of the box - it is an option in iTunes that must first be enabled by connecting the device by the cable connection and doing a normal wired sync. Also in iTunes preferences, under devices, make sure that the option is not disabled for that device.
After you have enabled it and run that last wired sync, you will be set up to use wifi sync. From then on, when you open iTunes, and have your iDevice on the same wifi network, it will automount in iTunes. You can then either manuall force a sync (from iTunes or the iDevice) or just plug in the device and it will autosync (as long as iTunes is open on your computer, and your computer is not asleep).

How do I wirelessly synch my Notes using iCloud among iPad, iPhone 5S and Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1

How do I set up my devices to wirelessly synch my Notes using iCloud among iPad, iPhone 5S and Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1?

Hey bwind,
You will want to first create an iCloud account, if you haven’t already:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
Next, sign in to that iCloud account on your iPhone and iPad, and turn on the syncing for notes:
iCloud - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3c79652c
iCloud - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad995bbafe
Then you will want to download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows:
iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
You will find your notes in their own section on Outlook:
iCloud: Notes overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12081
On your Windows computer, your changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook in the Notes folder of your iCloud email account. You can see your iCloud notes by expanding your iCloud email account in the Outlook folder pane (also called the navigation pane), then selecting the Notes folder in the email account.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

HT1296 Synching iPhone wirelessly without iCloud

Running 10.6.8 on my mac, therefore don't have iCloud. Synching iphone with mac works fine with USB. The online article states that one of the conditions for syncing wirelessly is that "iOS device is plugged in to power". Meaning still plugged into the mac via USB?? Or into AC power?
If USB, the point of "wireless" is lost. I tried setting up wireless synching as explained in the article, plugged the iPhone into the AC power, and opened iTunes. iPhone doesn't appear. I hope someone can help, thanks.

"Meaning still plugged into the mac via USB?? Or into AC power?"
Yes. Either way

How to do a wireless synch with my mac 10.6.8 to my iphone4S

can I do wireless synch with my current Mac 10.6.8 to my Iphone 4S? How do I do it

You have to set it up using iTunes.
When you connect your phone to iTunes, go to the iPhone summary page and make sure you have the option "Sync over wi-fi" turned on.
Here's the instructions for Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2555

Is iCloud the ONLY Way To Wirelessly Synch?

I used to have a Nokia and wirelessly synched contacts with the push of a button (iSynch). Loved it. When I wanted to transfer a photo or video from my Nokia to my Macbook, or vice-versa, I selected it and sent it via bluetooth now. Loved that too. Didn't have to open any app or push more than one or two butons.
Now I "upgraded" to the iPhone 4s (primarily for 1080P video recording in low-light situations, if anything's better please lemme know). But I see that I have to use iTunes to do almost everything, & iPhoto to import photos & videos.
iTunes synchs over the network, but doesn't looks like iPhoto can import untethered. (Am I wrong?) The process seems way less efficient than other smartphones.
Haven't tried iCloud yet, but I like the idea of manually selecting what gets sent.

When you back up with iCloud the pictures are contained in the back up file. I dont believe you can access them individually in the back up file. Loading the back up on to your iPhone would restore the photos though

HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases

How can I get my iphone to synch with Outlook? I do not want to use Icloud.

I am a realtor and have used Outlook for years, but am unable to get my iphone to synch with Outlook. Does anyone have a solution? I have been to the Apple store and have had more than one person working on it, to no avail.

Not sure what you've already tried, but sometimes you have to uninstall iTunes and all it's components as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, then reinstall iTunes. (This would be necessary if the Outlook plugin is missing or corrupt.) You won't loose your iTunes library or media by doing this.

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

HT4623 How do I add a ringtone to my iPhone without synching to all of iTunes

How do I add a ringtone to my iPhone without synching to all of iTunes? I have an enormous music library and do not want to add music to my phone. I checked the handle manually button, but it says it's going to erase everything on phone!? I cannot drag into Library from iTunes either. Help!

If it is a new computer and you have not hooked you phone up, then it is NOT the same library you were syncing the phone with previously.
You can only sync with ONE iTunes library at a time. You will have to let it wipe the media from the phone and re-sync any music, ringtones, etc. to it.
Hopefully, you copied your music and other media from your old computer to the new one already.

My IPhone, after synching the last few times, has inherited both my husband and my daughter's music libraries. How do I un do this?

My IPhone, after synching the last few times, has inherited both my husband and my daughter's music libraries. How do I un-do this and keep this from happening in the future?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

I had iTunes 10.2.1.1 but needed to upgrade to 10.6 so my iPhone could synch...I'm getting this error message "Problem with this Windows (XP) Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Any ideas?

This has been fixed. Answer is that I needed to go to "Apple Software Update" and repair it. (From my Control Panel).
