Is wifi syncing with iOS devices encrypted?

Anyone know whether the connection between your iOS device and iTunes is encrypted when you sync over Wifi?
It's fine if it's not at home, but needless to say I can't sync anywhere else if that's not encrypted.

In the iPhone and iPad the image quality of the transferred photos is blurred and I am looking for an easy and quick method to use.
How are you syncing? Are you using Photo stream (iPhoto and Aperture: Using Photo Stream) or iTunes Photo Sync ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US )?
Both methods should give you good quality photos on your IOS devices - indeed I am seeing very good quality pictures in my Photo Stream and in the albums synced from iTunes.
If I am looking in my iPod photo cache, I see that all images synced to the IOS devices are at least 2MB in size.
The current setting for the Preview quality is global. You cannot set the Preview quality differently for different projects or libraries. What you could do however, would be to change the setting, recreate previews with different settings for selected images, then change the preview quality back.
And you can prevent selected projects from generating previews alltogether: Use the menu below the cogwheel in the Library Inspector to disable previews for selected projects:

ITunes Match - Sync with iOS device

I am thinking about buying iTunes Match, but i first wanna make clear some things up...
here are my questions:
1. Will I ever have to sync my iPhone again with my computer (over WIFI or Cable) or will my iPhone automatically download the music! Or will i have to individually download the music on to my phone? Because now if I load a new CD in my iTunes i just plug my phone into my MacBook and after that all my selected playlists will be updated and ready to listen to (without any internet conection obviousely), how will this be with iTunes Match?
e.g.: I have this new cool tune that I import and put into my list "my favorite songs"! Will this song immediately be on the same list on my phone? online or offline?
2. What do I have to do if i wanna delete an album on my computer? But I mean delete it forever, also out of the cloud! how do i do this, and will these tunes also dissapear on my iPhone (like they do now as soon as I sync my iOS device with my Mac)? Will I have this music present in my cloud forever?
Thank you for your help!
Cheers
Yannick B.

Hello Yannick B.
Once you have enabled iTunes Match and then add music from a CD, it will automatically add those to iTunes Match for you or you can go to a drop down menu Store > Update iTunes Match to add the tracks. If you have iTunes Match enabled on your iPhone, you will see the changes rather quickly once uploaded.
If you want to delete music from iTunes Match, just delete the tracks and a prompt will ask if you want to delete from iCloud. That should answer those questions for you.

IPhoto sync with iOS Devices does not work

I have an 2007 iMac with OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.3 and iPhoto 9.5.1.
I have an iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.4 and iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4.
Around the update to OS X 10.9 I have the problem that I can't sync my iPhoto pictures with my iOS devices anymore.
Beforehand I had no problem. But I can't tell exactly when this problem pop up the first time. (iOS 7, OSX 10.9, iTunes or iPhoto update???)
The problem is: I can sync all my content with my iOS devices per iTunes without any problemsbut not the fotos from the iPhoto library.
If I go to the Foto sync page in iTunes I see all my iPhoto Albums, Events, ... I can select and desect all these items. But if I sync this items I see that in the used memory bar no pictures are shown, the foto count do not show any number and on the iOS device all pictures are removed.
To fix this problem I have tried some options.
I have disabled the foto sync in iTunes, close iTunes, close iPhoto, remove the iPod cache from the iPhoto library, recreated the iPhoto database, obened iPhot and iTunes again, connectd the iOS device and try to sync some albums from the iPhoto libray again. But no pictuers are synced.
I have created a new iPhoto library and added some fotos to the new library, created some albums. Then I tried to sync the iOS device with this library. The first sync wored. :-). But then I disconnected the iOS device and later I connected it again and synced another time and all fotos are gone again.
The only way I can sync my fotos is to switch to folder sync instead of iPhoto library sync. This work, but this is a very bad option!
What can I do to fix this problem?

Open the iPhoto Libraray with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
and locate the folder titled iPod Photo Cache and move it to the Desktop.
Close iPhoto, lanuch and try again.

WIFI password not synced with iOS device

For short: I'm excluded off my own WIFI net because Apple's iCloud Keychain didn't sync the WIFI password from my MacBook to my iPad.
For my holidays I bought a nice portable WIFI hard disk. This device can not only take the memory cards of my camera and store the images without any computer, but also establishes a WIFI network, by which I can access the content of the mobile harddisk wirelessly.
At home, I configured this neat device with my MacBookPro and accessed it via WIFI by choosing the WIFI hard disk's network and entering the password, which Apple suggested during the configuration process of the WIFI hard disk. At this moment (entering the WIFI password to connect with the hard disk's network), I had to recurr onto the OSX keychain helper: look for the formerly entered password and paste it into the WIFI accounting form - and check the box "store in the icloud keychain". Ok.
Ok? Nothing's ok on my iOS devices (iPad and iPhone). Why?
By checking the box, I was sure that the password would indeed be synced with and stored within the iCloud keychain.
But I went wrong!
Now on holidays, with my camera, my iPad, my WIFI hard disk and – without my MacBookPro (because it's a holidays killer) – I tried to connect my iPad with the WIFI of the mobile hard disk. Seeing it's WIFI network, I tapped on it and got the accounting dialog: Enter password.
Which password?!?
I had instructed the Apple iCloud to store this password – and deliver it to any authorized device if needed.
But Apple, seemingly, did NOT do this and failed to deliver the password to my iPad (which is naturally registered to the same Apple ID as my MacBook).
What shall I do now? I have NO access neither to my MacBookPro (which is at home) nor to my iCloud keychain (which Apple thinks the best to protect against me).
To be honest, I feel patronized in a very ugly way by Apple - once again.
My question is: Why isn't there a way to access or manage the iCloud keychain from an iOS device? Should it be that Apple thinks these devices are LESS SECURE?
Any help is very welcome! Thanks in advance.

Thanks, FromSouth -
I called Apple Support and they also said that she has to have access to my iCloud account. We did figure out that some of the notes from 2011 and 2012 are from a shared business account which also allows notes, but that is a Verizon account and should not impact, in any way, shape, or form, the iCloud account.
I do not believe my daughter actually did this; I am guessing that her iCloud account was also accessed by her husband (who is not a good guy), and he, without her knowledge, synced her iCloud to his iPhone to track all her stuff. I then believe he got hold of mine and did the same a couple of days ago, as we are all together for a large family vacation (in the same house).
I guess I have a couple more questions about this, though:
Normally, when you sync a new device with your account, you get a message on all your old devices - but I did not get anything of the kind. How would this be possible? I guess maybe if he synced it while standing there with my iPad, then my iPad would get an alert, and he would just turn it off?? (I know all this sounds excessive, but believe me, he'd go to this length.)
I find it difficult to believe that he could have cracked my iCloud password - it's not something that anyone would ever put together easily. How would he be able to access the account without a password? Is there any kind of app or software that he could have installed on my iPad that would allow that? (Again, believe me, he'd do it.)
Is there any way to see in iCloud what devices are linked to the account? That alone would show me what device has this.
Finally, I have my iPad password-protected, so I cannot imagine he would have gotten into my iPad in the first place...how would he have gained access to this otherwise? I really thought I was being very smart on how I set this all up, and two days in the same location as him and now this....
I really thank you for any help you can give me on this one...
Thanks!

WiFi Sync with iOS 8

Since updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I've lost the ability to WiFi sync. Is there a trick to getting this back?

Sorry, but that link was of no help, however I did find a solution here:

Re: iOS 8 WiFi sync is broken in response to Just J
I had a similar sync issue with iOS 8.0 on my new iPhone 6 Plus 128. Three hours trying to add music and no go. Frustrated and tired, I slept on it and this morning I remembered that this seems a problem with every major iOS release and remembered what I was told to do then! So here's what I did and now everything is fine on all of my devices with regard to synching. Go to Setting-General-(bottom of the page) Reset-Reset Network Settings-Device Passcode-Reset Network Settings. Let the device do that and restart. Try again this should clear the problem. Up until this point the device and iTunes didn't even know each other from Adam. By this I mean that the amount of space available between device and iTunes and device itself was all messed up. Now everything is running smoothly. What does Network Settings have to do with anything, I have no clue just know it worked. Good luck. You'll have to retype your WiFi password after doing this.

Wifi roaming with iOS devices

I have a weird problem that I find hard to diagnose.
We have 6 iOS based devices: 2x iPhone 3 (iOS 4.2.1), 2x iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) and 2x iPad 3 (iOS 5.1.1). Our Apple Wifi network has 2 APs: 1 Time Capsule (TC) and 1 Airport Extreme (AE). Both AP are interconnected with Ethernet cabling, the AE is connected to the internet and also function as the NAT and DHCP host. Both TC and AE run firmware 7.6 and are set up with the same SSID, both on channel 11. They are located at opposite ends of our apartment to create maximum radio coverage in the apartment.
All iOS devices roam from one AP to the other when moving around EXCEPT one of iPhone 4. This iPhone only connects to the TC and is also not visible in the airport utility (both the iPhone version as well as on the Mac) when asleep. All other devices remain visible in airport utility even while asleep.
Any ideas which settings to check to on the iPhone 4 that doesn't roam? Does it have to do with the fact it loses the Wifi connection while asleep?

Thank you for your response, however I tried "forget this network" and "reset network settings" before I started this thread and that didn't help. I find the restore option a little drastic measure before knowing what could cause certain behaviour.
To make sure I repeated step forget this network again, while being very close to the AP it fails to connect (=AE). I noticed that on the first attempt to connect it reports "unable to join the network "<SSID>". On the second attempt it does connect. Then it suddenly hit me that the problem may be on the AP side: the first attempt it tries to connect to AE but fails, on the second attempt it connects to TC. This iPhone was recently replaced by Apple under warranty and I use MAC Access Control on the APs. Normally you enter the MAC address of a new device on one AP and the new device shows automatically up on the access list of the other AP. However in this case I updated the existing entry on only one AP (the TC) and after checking the other AP (the AE) it still had the MAC address of the previous device. I assumed that changes to MAC access control on one AP would also be propagated to the other AP. Once I also manually updated the entry on the AE, it started to roam as expected.
One additional note: the iPhone 3 running iOS 4.2.1 do drop the wifi connection while asleep AND not being powered with the USB cable. As long as they have external power they maintain the wifi connection. The iPad 3 (using iOS 5.1.1) will maintain the connection in any condition. The 2 iPhone 4 are still showing different behaviour, one drops while the other maintains the wifi connection in sleep mode. This could be caused by a difference in apps running on the 2 iPhones. But I don't really care as it doesn't affect the user experience.

Text Shortcuts on Mac not syncing with iOS Devices

It appears that my iOS devices are syncing text shortcuts, because when I add/remove one from one device, it's replicated on the other devices.
However, text shortcut changes made on my Mac ( Macbook Air, latest Mavericks version ) are not replicated to the iOS devices, and vice-versa. It's like my iPad and iPhone have decided to share with each other , and ignore my Mac.
I tried deleting the com~apple~Textinput folder, but that did not have any effect. I also tried turning iCloud off and on on my Mac, and that did not help, either.
Ideas on how to fix this?

I figured it out, I turned off Document syncing on all devices, then deleted the ~Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput folder instead of the subfolders that I deleted the first time, Then I turned document syncing back on (warning , all text shortcuts are gone! ) on my Mac, and then on my iOS devices.
It took a few minutes for my devices to catchup, but they all went to zero text shortcuts, and I was able to create a new text shortcut on each device and have it replicate to the other devices.
While this fixed my problem, it's a good idea to back up your text shortcuts to another program( evernote? ) in case you need to do what I just did to fix a syncing issue.

WiFi Sync with iOS 5 doesn't work with Airport Express used as a wifi extender?

So in our apartment we have an Airport base station that doesn't reach all the way to the bedrooms, so we use an Airport Express as a wifi extender/repeater. The Wifi sync doesn't work when connected to the Airport Express. My iPhone and iTunes can't find each other. But if I'm sitting next to the base station it works just fine. Is there a workaround for this to get wifi sync working in my bedroom? I've updated both Airports to the latest firmware versions.
Thanks
Byron

Well, never mind. It magically started working.

Why isn't date order synced with iOS devices?

Hi all
My syncs from various Aperture libraries to iphones and Apple TVs all have one consistent issue; that the pictures always sync oldest first.
This is despite me changing the order in Aperture to Descending date order and resyncing.
Not a deal breaker but a tad annoying. I'm finding myself scanning through 100's of pics to get to the ones I took most recently (when looking at them on the ATV or iPhone).
Any suggestions to remedy?
Thanks!

Photos sorting wrongly on Apple's own devices is a longstanding and very annoying issue. I believe if you set an album or project to manually sort in Aperture, then this ordering will be preserved on your iPhone.
You should also send Apple feedback to let them know your frustration!

Where are imported photos saved, during a iTunes sync with IOS devices?

When i sync my iPhone/iPad, on one of the steps it says importing photos.
Are these photos being transfered form my iPad to my PC, or the other way around?

They are being synced from your computer to your iPad - you can specify which photos that you want to sync to your iPad via the Photos tab : syncing photos.
If you want to copy photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites to your computer then it's done outside of iTunes : photos to computer.

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.

Can you use wifi sync with multiple libraries and multiple devices

Hi all
Does anyone know if you can use wifi sync with 1 computer, 2 libraries and 2 devices?
I have my wife's iPhone synced to 1 library and mine to another library but on the same computer. Will wifi sync work this way or do you need iTunes to be open to the correct library for it to work? As I know you can't have 2 instances of itunes open on the same computer.
Anyway thanks for any help

I have been looking more and more into this and it appears no.
You need to have iTunes running on the computer to enable it to wifi sync. You can use 2 devices on 1 library but if you don't have all the right options ticked you will then end up with each others stuff on each others device.
To enable wifi sync you need to have your iDevice connected to the same wifi network as your computer and iTunes open on that computer.
With my library open it detected my wife's phone and started to sync. Hasty push of cancel sync button lol.
There is a guide on here somewhere about multiple devices with 1 library which I can't find at the moment that tells you which options to tick so only your stuff stays on your device the the other half's on their device.
Its basically tick 'sync only ticked songs and videos' under summary of your device
Under apps take tick out of 'automatically sync new apps'
Then under edit->preferences click device and click prevent i's from syncing automatically
I think you should then be able to sync both devices to 1 library with mucking them up too much
Hopefully please correct me if I'm wrong
I have tried not doing the last step and asking it to open itunes automatically when phone is connected but this does not work with wifi sync
Have fun hopefully someone else can give us a better answer

Iphone 4s wifi sync with new computer?

I got a new computer and moved everything from itunes from the old computer and I no longer have the old computer. I now want to wifi sync with the new computer, but I can't get my iphone to recognize it. I have synced with the cable several times and I have sync over wifi selected in iTunes but on the iphone the old computer still shows up on the sync over wifi screen. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

HT1386 how can i do this in the itunes 11? the "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi" option is not available in the summary

the "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi" option is not available in the summary part on the new itunes. Anyone know where this option is on itunes 11?

If you feel misled then that is how you feel and I understand that. You are entitled to feel that way. But the iPad DOES work with Leopard 10.5.8 but you have to sync with the cable. When I bought my iPad1 - I was using a MacBook running 10.5.8. I upgraded to Snow Leopard in anticipation of the next generation of Apple iDevices and this past Christmas I received a new MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7. I still have the MacBook running Snow Leopard and my wife uses that one as her own laptop now.
As the iPad became more popular - users cried for a PC free device as well and now the iPad is PC free as long as you are running iOS 5. So apple has provided a way to use an iPad without the need for a computer at all. I really believe that Apple has provided a way for many people to take advantage of their newest device and it does not necessitate the purchase of a new computer or OS.
I am by no means defending Apple, but I think they have done a pretty amazing job with a device that is still just under two years old. It is still "backwards" compatible with two older versions of Mac Operating systems and with two MS operating systems as well.
I realize that everybody cannot dump their current computer and OS every time a new device hits the market, but at some point, software is upgraded, computers are upgraded and new phones, MP3 players, iPods, and iPads are released. Unfortunately, if you want the latest and greatest technology, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and spend the money.
