ITunes keeps losing its connection with my iPhone 5 - anyone else seeing this?

Hi
UK iPhone 5 user here - iMac with Mountain Lion.
iTunes sporadically keeps losing its view of my iPhone 5 which I have set to sync over wi-fi (Apple Extreme Base Station)
I know it will redetect it once I lightning connect it back in but isn't the point of wifi sync is so you DON'T have to do that.
Doesn't seem to retain much memory of the connection.
Anyone seeing this? Or know why?
Cheers

I have this happen to me all the time. I have an iPhone 4, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 all set to sync through wifi to my iMac. At any given time, one or more of them will drop from the list of devices.
The easiest and most reliable way for me to get around it is to turn wifi off on my iMac, wait a second, and then turn it back on. The missing device suddenly reappears 99% of the time. For the other 1%, I also have to quit and restart iTunes. This is much faster than rebooting the device, which is what I was doing until I learned of the Mac wifi toggle tip.

  • All I still get is a blank other than the side bars with stuff in them when I go to Itunes store. What's with that? is anyone else having this issue?

    All I still get is blank other than the side bars with information like previous purchases and all. But I can't buy or preview anything. I've done the winsock reset and all but that hasn't helped. I checked my firewall and that hasn't done anything either and it's enabled so why the issue?

    I'd try the following document:

  • Safari 5.1 for Windows no longer connects to the internet. Anyone else see this?

    I'm typing this from Firefox on the same Windows XP Pro machine which watching Safari in an infinite "connecing to www.apple.com" window. I've been using Safari on this same machine for over three years. Todays Safari update killed it.

    No Woder, Apple broke something wiht this Update. There are too many ppl complaining post update.
    Anyway, M also suffering the same glitch. Have saved the pain of uninstalling-installing of Safari/iTunes(thanks to other fellow sufferers).
    Now, here is the complete picture:
    - PPL said to clear out proxies or something. I did everything, but nomproxy settings are there.
    - Oftenly, when on the preferences of Safari, i get this Error message for webkit2webprocess.exe has some probem. xpcom.dll is missing. Didnt get this msg tonight though.
    - Downloaded WebKit and tried to run as said above. but it prompts as
    Safari.exe - Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point u_strToUpper_4_0 could not be located in the dynamic link library icuuc40.dll.
    OK  
    Now, tell me if i really need to re-install itunes/Safari??

  • My i phone 4  keeps loosing its connection with my Toyota Camry bluetooth-- anyone have any ideas why?

    My i phone 4  keeps loosing its connection with my Toyota Camry bluethoth   does anyone know what I can do about that?

    Ignore the ridiculous post by W1$C.  He posts that regardless of the person's question.
    Things you can do to solve your problem:
    1.  General>Settings>Reset Network settings
    2.  If this is only happening at home, power down your router for a minute, then power it back up.
    3.  Other basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are to restart, reset, and restore--first from backup, then if needed as a new device.
    Hope this helps.

    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

    I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
    Mac OS 10.8.5
    None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
    I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

    Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works!   Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
    Of course I saw that menu item "Import"  and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same:  "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
    An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are  obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

    Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

    Thanks SerZak!  I lost my reply to your post.  But I discovered I was logged out after the update.  I logged back in and it was sorted.  I wouldn't have worked this out on my own, so thank you for you help.  Much appreciated. 

  • Ive updated my iphone 4 to ios5 and the music will not play atall even though its all on the phone is anyone else having this problem?

    Obviously Ive had the same errors originally but the software has updated fine now. But for some reason the music on the phone will not play atall! with or with out headphones. It seems too just be staying at 0.00mins and even if I fast forward it it just stays at the particular mins fast forwarded to. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Similar symptom here.  I gathered from other threads that by removing all the songs and re-sync them back to iPhone4 would sort the problem!  I tried with one album and it seemed to have work fine!  So I removed all the songs and transferred them back again!  However, I could not launch Music app any more!  Click on Music and it just stopped, i.e. could not be launched!!!
    However, I noticed that I could still play all the songs through headphone control.  But if you play without the headphone plugged in, no sound comes out of the phone speaker!!!!!
    Aarrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
    Apple - surely you must seriously look into this and come out with resolutions by now!  Would SJ step in by now????? RIP SJ!  Apple, in fact all of us, miss you - with diferent reasons !!!

  • Persistent Aggregates bug with logic - anyone else see this ?

    A long while ago I posted a bug report regarding the use of aggregates with the Stealthplug guitar audio interface. I also reported this on the apple bug report system.
    Basically, when using Logic8 with stealthplug and OSX Tiger ( latest 10.4 ) I configured an aggregate using AudioMIDI setup program, configuring Stealthplug as the input and the built in audio as the output.
    When one creates an audio track with the aggregate name selected I Logic8
    preferences INITIALLY one can get audio input to show up, the "record" button appears and one can hear audio output to the main macbook audio outputs. However on repeated use and selection/deseletion of the particular named aggregate one finds that the stealthplug input is no longer enabled ( the record button disappears).
    I found out recently that if I delete the aggregate ( I only had one aggregate st up ) and create a NEW aggregate, this time with a different name, but with the same settings ( stealthplug as input, built in outputs as output ) then one can get the aggregate to work initially in logic8. However after a few sessions, or switching between audo devices in preferences, the aggregate again fails to work, by this i mean I no longer get the "R" button appearing in the channel strip for the input.
    Stealthplug works fine when selected itself if one selects this as the device, but NOT when used through an aggregate. I suspect this is something to to do with aggregates and not stealthplug.
    My suspicions is that it has something to do with the way logic8 or the CoreAudio system stores its aggregate preference information since I find that if I delete the original aggregate but recreate the same aggregate settings using a different name then the aggregate will work for a short time.
    This really needs fixing since aggregates are potentially so useful.
    Anyone else seen this with stealthplug or another audi interface ? is the Aggregates system just plain buggy? dos this problem go away in Leopard ?

    Well I can say that after installing updates to QuickTime is appears I have been having a lot of trouble with Aggregate Devices as well. I use 2 896HD MOTU interfaces and after a few sessions of Logic, the Aggregate device stops working. I can either (a) reset the computer, (b) sometimes reset the coreAudio driver (works rarely) or (c) create a new Aggregate device like you have and it all starts working again.
    Even worse, some of my USB MIDI interfaces like the Fantom X7 just loose connection as well. If I remove the USB and then plug back in, it's recognized again immediately.
    Something is seriously broken and I have NO clue where to begin to help fix it. The only thing I could do is re-install OSX 10.5 and not do the quicktime updates and see if that helps. Unfortunately, that is a LOT of work! (I use like 146 AU plugins total).

  • HT3310 Can't get remote and mic to work at all with my iPad. Anyone else having this problem?

    Can't get EarPods remote and mic to work with my iPad 3. Anyone else having this problem and, if so, how did they fix it?

    I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result.
    What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics?  It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system.
