ITunes can't see devices over wifi (iTunes 12.1 and iOS 8.1.3)

iTunes cannot see my devices over wifi.  I have upgraded to the latest builds, i.e. OS X 10.10.2, iTunes 12.1.0.50, iOS 8.1.3.
This was also happening with earlier builds.
I have tried restarting (all devices, iTunes, mac mini, wifi network), removing devices from the wifi network, deleting old backups, renaming devices.
Any thoughts?

I have this problem also.
My iPad is connected directly to my iMac by usb cable.
Just updated iTunes to 12.1.0.50 and at first it could not find my iPad but it just stated "iPad" in devices -  not the name I gave it originally.
Unaware of this problem I re-named my iPad and commenced Sync but its an ever syncing system  and nothing further develops.
I have also powered off and re-started.
Now all I get is a popup saying it "cannot be synced because it cannot be found" and yet it shows up in the devices.
I've also just connected my iPhone directly to my iMac and whilst it shows in iTunes under devices cannot be synced because it too cannot be found.
Clearly Apple has a problem.

  • Can't get email over wifi at home, but can at work.

    Okay, I think this is a problem with settings on my time capsule, but I can't figure out what. On my iPhone 5 and wife's iPad I can get email over the cellular network and over wifi at work. I can't get email over wifi at home, get a can't connect to server error. Also had a friend, who uses the same ISP, try with his android phone - same error, but works over wifi at his house. Since I can get email over cellular and wifi at work, I'm fairly confident that I have the server settings correct. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Was facing a similar issue with my friend's iPad (Latest one). Forcing the DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 (I think Google's DNS servers) fixes this issue. I had faced something similar on my iMac a long time back. Something a little strange about how Apple products do a DNS lookup? Not sure if it is an issue with the response time of the DNS servers as well..
    In any case, the good news was changing it to 8.8.8.8 worked.. Luckily the iPad's network configuration tool allows you to navigate to the pane where you can see the DHCP supplied IP addresses and just go to the DNS field, delete what was present there and force it to this address.
    The difficulty in coming to this conclusion was the fact that the browser works fine for all the sites we had tried. It is mostly the apps that had trouble, and the App store also was inconsistent in reporting details..

  • Itunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 the devices were no more recognized by itunes

    Since I updated to itunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 the devices were no more recognized by itunes (only be Win7 64bit) and the itunes 10.6 diagnose crashes the the programme

    Try the link below, it solved a similar problem for me.  I think the problem is the iTunes 64-bit installer.  Step 5 fixed my problem.  Also running Windows 7 64-bit

  • Can't see devices items on the finder

    Hi after downloading lion i can't see devices items on Imac. How can I find those? Thank you for your help in advance. 

    Some more information may be helpful. 
    What can't you see?  Your internal HD?  External USB drives?  Printer?  Scanner? 
    Where can't you see it?  On your desktop?  Under "System Information"?  Sidebar?
    Thanks! 

  • How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?

    How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?
    For example, my mom's 'Years, Collections, Moments' in her iPhone 6 has pictures from her old iPhones, even her 3GS

    Greetings Yushk,
    It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream.  However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
    If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

  • HT204053 can someone see my text messages through another source and not my phone

    can someone see my text messages through another source and not my phone

    What exactly do you mean through another source?
    Cause the only way I can think to answer this question is by stateing -
    If you send them a text message on another device or to their email, yes. otherwise no well unless you like emailed those to yourself and "someone" has access to your email etc etc etc yes...

  • Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder

    Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
    I saw the option only one time, and i reseach in the internet and I find fuse option, but now never saw again.
    And Yes, I drag folders with the same name.

    Ok, Gracias por su pronta respuesta, yo necesito arrastar una carpeta a otra ubicacion con una carpeta del mismo nombre, entiendo que lion te advierte si desea reemplazar el contenido o fusionar (mexclar el contenido)
    como lo dice aqui :
    http://www.cioal.com/2011/06/29/las-cinco-novedades-mas-importantes-de-mac-os-x- lion/
    3. Podrás combinar tus archivos y carpetas. Seguro que alguna vez has perdido algún archivo al combinar carpetas o archivos del mismo nombre pero distinto contenido. Ahora, cuando intentes mover una carpeta a un lugar con otra de idéntico nombre, tu equipo te preguntará si prefieres combinar ambas o cambiar una por otra. Los archivos serán tratados de una manera similar: Cuando coincidan archivos con el mismo nombre, el sistema te preguntará también si quieres mantener ambas copias.
    y en muchas otras paginas que tratan el tema.
    mi problema es que esa opcion no me aparece. solo la opcion de reemplazar (o no reemplazar o detener)
    Lo increible es que alguna vez el mismo dia de hoy si me aperecio la opcion.

  • HT1695 Anyone else having issues with not being able to get wifi on their iPhone 4S? I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

    I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

    Thank you, I am trying to last option now. Resetting my network settings and if that still doesn't work ill have to go in to the apple store. Hopefully I won't need a new phone because I'm already at my limit with replacements on my AppleCare even though the issue with the phones 3 out of 4 times wasn't my fault and I can't afford to buy another phone.

  • My ipad's screen has gone completely blank. I can't see anything. Have attempted to update and restore it, but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this issue?

    My ipad's screen has gone completely blank. I can't see anything. Have attempted to update and restore it, but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this issue?

    Try Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Can i see when my phone was last accesed and used and restored.

    can i see when my phone was last accesed and used and restored.

    If you are the account owner you can log in to verizonwireless.com and check the call and text logs to see when the last activity was.  As far as seeing when it was last "restored" - that could mean several things.  Is it a smartphone?  Do you mean a factory reset? Restore from a backup?
    Is the phone not in your possession?

  • Can i use LTE in Italy with iPad 3 and iOS 6.1?

    Can i use LTE in Italy with iPad 3 and iOS 6.1?

    Unfortunately no. iPad 3rd gen LTE hardware is different than iPad 4th gen LTE hardware. Compatibility list  http://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/  gives us no hope. Only in US and Canada you can use LTE with iPad 3rd gen. We are so unlucky. I paid for iPad 3rd gen 32Gb, Wifi + Cellular 729 Euros and only 5 months later Apple released iPad 4th gen. I am testing LTE on my iPhone 5 today and it really ROCKS.

  • How to prevent itunes from connecting to my IOS devices over wifi

    I have a MBP retina that is set to sync  (over wifi) with the iOS devices for myself and my wife: 2 ipads, 1 ipad mini and 2 iphones.
    When I am launch iTunes in my other Mac - Macbook Air (mid 2010, 13inch, OS X 10.8.2), it will also start to connect the iOS devices - even though I am not using it to sync with my iOS devices.
    How to prevent iTunes in my MBA from connecting to all the iOS devices in my house?
    Thanks.

    I configured all my iOS devices to sync with my MBP Retina (over wifi) - but the problem is that when I am using my MBA, the devices will also automatically connect to the MBA Itunes over wifi when I launch iTunes in the MBA.
    Is there any way to prevent auto connection to the MBA?
