Itunes wifi sync not working. recognising computer, but it's not 'available'

It knows what computer to use, but whether it's on power, or not, it doesn't sync over wifi.
My machine is a windows XP box.
A port to open in the firewall, maybe?
thanks,
Superd@ve

I have an issue very similar to this as well. Wireless syncing does NOT work ever since I switch to FiOS.

TS3274 How to change my App Store to another country? I synced my IPad with computer but it did not change the store.

My iPad changed the country on the App Store by accident . How can I change the country on my App Store back to the original store??
I tried syncing on my computer but it did not work

Hi Briopp,
If yor are needing to change your iTunes country on your iPad:
Settings>iTunes & App Store> you will see yor Use ID - tap on that. You will see a dropdown and in that dropdown, View Account. Select View Account. There you wll see a section called Counry/Region. Click on that and follow the instructions to select a different country.
Hope this helps!

ITunes wifi Sync stopped working

It's been since I upgraded my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 to 5.0.1 that I cannot wifi sync my devices.
I have a 2006 White MacBook with OS X 10.6.8, both iDevices upgraded to 5.0.1, last itunes version. My router is a linksys WRT54GL with the latest original firmware. Wifi security is WPA2 personal, TKIP+AES. OSX firewall is set to off. I am an IT engineer.
I have searched over net and looked for possible solutions here, so these are the procedures I tried:
restarting my mac, iDevices, and router
updating firmware on my linksys router to the latest available
turned off iphone while trying to see if itunes detects the ipad
renew the dhcp lease on the ipad, and macbook
set a static IP both for mac and ipad
disconnect permanently the ipad from the router's wifi, then reconnect to it typing the password
switch off both ipad and mac wifi.
Remote app IS indeed working to control iTunes
disable router's multicast filter: when I did this, my roommate, who has a win7 pc and an ipad2, was able to see its ipad in itunes, and he successfully synced
disable router firewall
create a custom wifi network with my macbook and connect only the ipad to it
changing wifi channel
set up port forwarding rules for TCP:123, 3689, UDP:123, 5353 to my mac static dhcp ip address
I'm running out of creativity... This problem must rely on apple side, since my roommate can sync wirelessly.
And since his ipad is working, there must be something wrong with itunes for mac, or in the way ipads interact with Macs.
The wifi sync DID work while on iOS 5.0.0, it all started after upgrading.
In any case I will not restore any of my devices, since it is not a problem caused by me.
Please Apple, fix this! Let me know if you need any logs.
Thanks,
Riccardo

I looked into the Console to see what is going on.
This is what I found showing up when I set airplane mode off, and the ipad was set to sync wirelessly:

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Itunes wifi synce won't work on windows 7, why?

I've tried everything to get itunes wifi synce to work on windows 7. But I don't seem to be getting it. It's not working.
I'm running Ios 5.1.1 and the latest itunes 10.6.3. Any solution about getting itunes wifi synce to work.
I'm open for any solution and will try al l of them.

I've been dealing with this issue for quite sometime now, keep going back to the same suggestions over and over from here and other sources. The common thing I see here is having the bonjour services restarted to get things working correctly. Being on windows 7 64x I didn't have a problem before. Something changed though. Today I though of "hey what about running as admin" since it seems some programs require admin running status to work properly. So in Task Manager under the Processes, (have show processes from all users checked) Anything that has to do with iTunes/Apple/Mobile/etc. I right clicked> Properties>Compatibility>Run as Admin.
So far this has solved my issue. Hope this helps others.

TS4062 IOS 7 itunes wifi sync broken

I for the life of me cannot get iTunes wifi sync to work with any of the five devices I have. What is odd is that itunes just closes out the connection:

I've gone through a bunch of other articles, rebooted routers, rebooted phones, shut down firewalls, etc... nothing has worked? Any ideas?
Mac is running Maverics. All devices are 7.0.4. Two iphones(4 and 5), and three ipads(4,2,mini).
Cabling them up works fine. As soon as I disconnect the cable, they disappear from iTunes. It has been doing this for a little bit and is now getting to the bubbling over point for me.

Same thing with me. iTunes 11.1.4 and Mavericks 10.9.1 - iTunes does not see my iOS 7.0.4 devices (two iPad Airs and one iPhone 5), but DOES see my old iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) without any problem.
I've done all the recommended troubleshooting for wi-fi syncing, to no avail. The suggestion for new Locations (plastered by G3R3N through similar threads) is unsuccessful, and I rate as 'voodoo' because iTunes sees the iOS 5 device on the same network as the iOS 7 devices it doesn't see!
I don't want to speculate it is a factor in this bug, but my computer's name has an apostrophe in it (e.g. "Beamerboy's iMac") which is removed in the network name (i.e. "Beamerboys-iMac.local"). I also do the same thing with my iOS devices (e.g. "Beamerboy's iPhone/iPod/iPad, etc.). This has never been a problem for my Apple devices on my network, though I know it can freak out less sophisticated software.
Thanks for the heads up about the efforts at troubleshooting, booleanman; I'll just wait/hope for a fix, and do wired iTunes syncs, rather than waste months with AppleCare support.

Internet connection freezes since activation of iTunes wifi-sync

Hi there!
First off: iTunes wifi-sync is working great!
...but: since i activatet this option, my internet connection (over wifi) freezes after a few minutes. no matter if my iphone is actually syncing or not.
only deactivating the wifi-sync will de-freeze my internet connection.
restarting both, iTunes and MacBook doesn't help.
Greetings
Tom

Just noticed a typo: I moved FROM plugged into the middle of the network to the END of the network and then plugged into that base stations ethernet.

ITunes WiFi Sync works fine for 4 devices, but not for my iPad2

I'm using the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4) on an iMac with the latest version of Mountain Lion (10.8.4) and multiple iOS devices listed below:
iPad 1 (iOS 5.1.1)
New iPad (iOS 6.1.3)
iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3)
iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3)
iPad 2 (iOS 6.1.3)
iTunes WiFi Sync works fine for all the devices but the iPad 2. They all show up in the "Devices" area of iTunes (though sometimes I need to power them down and restart them to get them to show up properly) and they all sync automatically when plugged into a power source.
The iPad 2, however, behaves thusly:
- Shows up under "Devices" in iTunes
- Can be synced wirelessly IF initiated from the computer
- Does NOT automatically sync when plugged in to a power source
- CanNOT be synced wirelessly from the iPad itself, as under settings > general > itunes wifi sync, it shows the screen that says "to enable wifi syncing with itunes, connect to ituens on your computer using a cable..." as if I have this feature turned off in iTunes (which I do not). The "Sync Now" button is not displayed (not even a grayed out version).
What I've tried:
- Repeatedly powering down and restarting iTunes, the computer, the iPad, and the router in various orders and combinations
- Repeatedly turning off and on the wifi sync feature via iTunes
- Experimenting with the "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected" option as this actually fixed a similar issue on my iPad 1
- Actually restoring the iPad to factory settings, then restoring from backup in case there was an issue with the iOS install
Nothing has helped
What I'm sure it's not:
- A problem with the usual iTunes settings (check "enable WiFi sync", uncheck "prevent iPads from syncing", etc.). Since all other devices work and I actually can perform a wireless sync when initiated from iTunes, I don't see how the issue could live here at all.
Any ideas? I'm pretty stumped!

Another oddity: When this iPad syncs, it does NOT create a backup as part of the process (whether wired or wireless). All my other devices do, as one would expect...

ITunes WiFi Sync not working with iPhone 6, but works with iPad 1

I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad 1. The iPhone 6 runs iOS 8 and the iPad 1 runs iOS 5.
Yet, the iPad works fine using iTunes WiFi Sync with my Mac, while my iPhone never works with it. Whenever I forcibly make it sync by clicking on the device in iTunes and on Sync, it gets ejected/removed from iTunes. This doesn't happen with my iPad.
Is this a problem specific with the iPhone 6? Anyone know what I can do to fix it?
If I uncheck and re-check the WiFi Sync setting for my iPhone 6, then it syncs fine the first time again. But it doesn't work after that. So the device is definitely on the correct WiFi network at least.

It continues to be UNREAL how Apple will release iOS software without testing it. Yep. They BROKE WIFI SYNC. It no longer works on my iPhones or iPads either. UNREAL!!!!!!

Itunes wifi sync not working for iPhone 4s ?

i have a MBP 15'' , 3 iPhone 4s , 1 iPad 3 but only MY iphone 4s is not syncing over wifi , it syncs via usb cable but not when i connect to charger and connected to wifi or even when i press the itunes wifi sync in the settings it syas looking for MBP and does not sync , whereas all my other gadgets like ipad and iphones automatically sync as soon as they are in wifi zone . i tried everything like reeboting my iphone and quitting and reopening my itunes but nothing helped checked and unchecked the "sync with this iphone over wifi" several times still nothing then even tried changing the ip address but no , then even restored my iphone from backup even then nothing helped , and even did all the obvious things like connected bluethooth , used iphone remort for itunes , and even did homesharing of itune library through iphone , nothing helped so if anyone knows how to get this straight please let me know .. and yes i even checked the iphone and itunes version they are both up to date

hey kasey, i dont know why you have to do that or why does it not work even with all the right settings but what i know is after that process that i just explained above your problem will be gone and iphone will wifi sync as soon as you enter the wifi zone
the cause of the problem might be ( what i think is ) when you update you iphone software directly from iphone instead through your computer you get this problem because for me also it was working finely until i updated to 5.1.1 from iphone itself and wich caused me so much trouble, well now i have installed IOS6 and working great .evean if you did not update your iphone and still got this problem can be due to the reason that sometimes your iphone or computer cahnges some internet settings on theri on for their best connection which might cause confusion between 2 gadgets .

Itunes wifi sync not working on windows 8!!

Does itunes wifi sync works on windows 8? Because i already have enabled wifi sunc but after i disconnect the cable from the ilhone it doesnt aloud me to do sync via wifi. Does anyone know how to make it work properly on windows 8?

Interesting. I still haven't had any problems with iTunes 10.7 under Windows 8 Pro, including adding music files purchased from a 3rd party source (Amazon) and buying an album through iTunes. iTunes successfully matched the Amazon-purchased MP3's, and I was able download the iTunes AAC's to replace them. The only thing not typical about my set-up that I can think of is that I have iTunes installed on my B: drive--both the program files and the iTunes Media folder--not on my C: drive (an SSD). My library sounds about the same size as yours (~4,000 songs).
(My only Windows 8 problem has been with DVD playback and the Windows 8 Store Netflix and Hulu apps. It looks like the new AMD graphics card drivers don't seem to be passing HDCP tests under Windows 8. There are simple work-arounds--watching Netflix or Hulu in a web browser--so at this point, I'm just waiting.)
Good luck with your iTunes issues.
John

Itunes wifi sync does not work after upgrade to OS X Yosemite

Hi,
After upgrade to OS X Yosemite itunes wifi sync with my ipad and iphone stopped working. After attaching the iphone and ipad with a cable, I could sync, but as soon as the cable was removed, the ipad and iphone disappeared again from itunes. And wifi did still nok work.

Apparently something is not being saved somewhere and this technique forces the save. Below is a C&P from another poster describing the technique on a different thread. It's been working for him for some fifteen hours. I tried it and it's been working but it's been only ten minutes. My gut feel is that quitting and relaunching iTunes are critical steps.
With the device connected via cable, click on its icon
Uncheck WiFi syncing
Click Apply
Quit iTunes
Launch iTunes
Check WiFi syncing
Click Apply
