Is the WIFI sync supposed to backup pics taken by iPhone to your computer?

How do I set this up?  I have tried everything and I can not get the iphone to wifi backup in IOS 5 using updated lion.

Yeah, it's all pretty stunted right now. It's been driving me bonkers. I'm looking for a good geotagging solution and all the 3rd party programs are crap and the possibility of MobileMe is just too hampered by limitations.

  • Does the wifi sync wake my Mac Mini?

    I have my iphone syncing to the iTunes on my laptop. I recently purchased a Man Mini (2011) with Lion and I was thinking that now that iOS 5 does wifi syncing when it's plugged in, it might be better to let my mini be the new machine. However, I have my mini sleep after 15 minutes of non use. Will the wifi sync on my phone wake the computer on demand? I'd like to not have to turn my laptop on every time I want to sync my phone.

    I too have a Mac mini (2011). When it was connected by wire to our router, the Mac would rarely go to sleep and when it did it rarely stayed asleep long even though I wasn't doing anything to wake up. However, I can confirm wifi iTunes syncing, remote app, etc WOULD always wake up the Mac.
    However, we've recently relocated our router so Mac now wirelessly connected. iTunes wifi sync, remote app etc now NO LONGER wake the Mac up. Very annoying.
    Considering iCloud backup now as a result.

  • Is there a way to activate the WiFi sync option without my device connected (iTunes/ PC cannot see my iPad 2)?

    When I connect my device (iPad 2) to my PC via USB it isn't seen by both my PC and iTunes, it just charges so I know my USB isn't broke. I want to activate the WiFi sync option to sync my data on my iPad because I can't anymore. Earlier I had the option checked but I wanted to compare the speeds of syncing and I couldn't reactivate the setting.
    I have looked around and I have seen not one helpful forum or thread, they all lead to this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Any useful information would be great!

  • Why don't I get the wifi sync option when I plug my iphone 4? (itunes 10.5 and iOS5 up to date)

    I have my iphone conected to my IMac and itunes software and Iphone software up to date (10.5 and iOs5) but I don´t get the wifi Sync option on my Iphone summary. Any ideas?

    It's not listed as an option. If you are seeing your iPhone in iTunes then thats it. You just click sync. (It works exactly the same way as if it was plugged in)

  • Downloaded pics from computer to iPhone using iTunes, computer crashed, now I can't download the transferred pics off my iPhone to new computer

    I Had my iPhone synced to a computer, I transferred some pics from computer to iPhone, computer then crashed. Now I can't transfer the transferred pics from my iPhone to another computer. How do I get these pics off my phone without losing them. Currently cannot update my phone because there isn't enough memory.

That's what I'm trying to do, get those pics off my phone, they are taking too much storage space and I can't update my phone because there isn't enough memory.
    I know.  That is exactly what I addressed.    The iPhone is not a storage/backup device.
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
    You can e-mail them to yourself.

  • Since upgrade to IOS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).

    Since upgrade to OS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).  I have restarted both devices, turned off and on "Sync with this iPad/iPhone over WIFI" and restarted WiFi.  WiFi is operating (iPad has no SIM).  What next?

    I'm also affected by this bug in exactly the same way as you.
    Some users have had success by closing iTunes, enetering (on OS 10.9) settings --> network --> edit locations, then create a new location with the same wifi/network settings. Then restarting iTunes.
    Others have had some success by editing settings --> iCloud --> de-selecting keychain
    neither of these fixes have worked for me.
    It appears that the iPad can "see" iTunes running on my iMac because when I open settings --> general --> 'iTunes wifi sync', "sync now" is greyed out if iTunes is not running. When iTunes is started, "sync now" is enabled but just doesn't work. Nor does the iPad appear in iTunes.

  • If I turn on the wifi during airplane mode, can this damage my iPhone 3Gs in someway?

    If I turn on the wifi during airplane mode, can this damage my iPhone 3Gs in someway? I sometimes would like to turn of the company signal, but at the same time I would like to use the internet; without taking our the SIM card. Can this damage my iPhone in any form? It would be grateful your help!

    "If I turn on the wifi during airplane mode, can this damage my iPhone 3Gs in someway?"
    No.  This is a normal feature of the iphone.  It is intended to work this way.

  • How to sync all data including Apps from my iPhone 5 to Computer

    I am using iPhone 5 (IOS 7.1.1) and want to sync all data from my phone with iTune library. I have already installed latest iTune for Windows 8. But I couldn't find my device in the right top corner of the iTune. I have also checked the device from File (menu bar). Sync,backup,restore from back up under device (from File menu bar) are not allowed to choose. All are faded. Please see my attached print screens. Thank you in advace for solving the problem.

    Hi, unfortunately only one of your screenshots come through.  If you connect your iPhone to your computer and start iTunes, then go to View on your menu bar in iTunes, and select "Show Sidebar" that should show up your iPhone under Devices in the sidebar.
    I've found that the failsafe way to back up properly ois to follow these steps:
    1) Ensure all apps on your iPhone are updated using the App Store app.
    2) Connect your phone to your computer and initiate iTunbes.  Your iPhone wil sync automatically.  Let it, and we'll come back to that later.
    3) Once that's done, go to File>Devices, and select to Transfer Purchases from your iPhone to your iTunes account.
    4) Once that's completed, ensure all your apps are updated in your iTunes library.  In the Library folders in the Sidebar, look under Apps, and that will tell you if there are apps to be updated there.  Click on that, to show the screenshot you provided, and then select Update All Apps from the icon in the bottom right hand corner.
    5) Then from your Summary screen, back up your iPhone to your computer, and check the box to encrypt that back up.
    6) Also back up your iPhone to your iCloud account.  There's an option to do it from the iTunes Summary Screen, but personally i prefer to do it form my iPhone.
    If you follow these steps, your backup will be watertight.  Some might argue that the steps are not all 100% necessary, but it works for me and I never lose data.

  • TS5376 For "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer", I followed the steps and there is no C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files..Also, after the update, I no longer show my disk drive when I load a CD.

    After downloading the new Itunes update, my compter now shows error: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I follwed the Apple fix / steps but it did not correct it. Also, after the update my disk drive is not recognized on my computer. If I load a CD, I cannot even access it.

    See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to the advice above) and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies. E.g. TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Hi, I updated my version of iTunes and now get the error "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer".

    Hi, I hope some one can help as I updated my version of iTunes and now get the error "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I understand that I need to delete and reinstall iTunes but all of my music has been uploaded from CD's and I'd like to know if these are safe if I delete iTunes of if they too will be deleted. I have over 1300 songs so this is a big question for me.  Many thanks.

    Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)
    First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you still get the errors after that, try the following user tip:

    If that doesn't work, you can uninstall FF and do a clean install. You'll prob lose your bookmarks, history, etc, though, so if you do this set up Sync first! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync-and-how-do-i-use-it

  • TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
    One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes.  You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
    Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update.  I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
    Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.
