ITUNES WIFI SYNC PROBLEMS (MAC MINI)

Hi Guys recently purchased a mac mini & loving how good it is compared pc.
I had iTunes on pc but transfered all music etc to mac mini & setup iTunes from scratch. Synced IP4 manually no probs & I then went in & ticked the option to sync this IP4 over wifi.
When I then try to sync over wifi on IP4 it says its looking for my mac mini but doesn't find it & also IP4 isnt showing in iTunes either (as it did when I used to do it on my pc).
My wifi is definitly working & connected on both mac mini & IP4. Could it be to do with an the pc that i used to sync it to being on the same network?
(I have updated Mountain Lion & Itunes to the newest versions & IP4 to ios6)
Any advice would be appreciated.

You may be getting interference on your wifi. Mountain Lion has an inbuilt tool to help with this

ITunes wifi sync problems

Hey thanks for reading havent checked other sections of this forum so hoping this is in the correct place
as you can tell with the title im having problems with wifi sync on both my iphone 4s and ipad 2 both on latest firmwares as is my itunes and i have tried and tried looking for solutions on the internet and on this forum but nothing ever works for me i have actually tried everything iv read like removing ipod photo cache, removing hyphen, out of my imacs name, turn firewall off everything!
yes i do have the option ticked when i load my itunes up it reconizes both my iphone and ipad straight away or within 5 mins sometimes but when ever i click sync on my mac just says "looking for iphone/ipad" when i try syncing it using the button in my settings on both devices it is either grey so i cant click it and or when i do click it it just says syncing but nothing happens and does not sync with itunes when it says that
been looking for absolute ages now to find a solution hope anyone can help thanks in advance:)

My 4S is doing the same thing and I have all the latest updates as well. Anybody figure this out?please help

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems?

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers / docking station and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems? Both worked fine until the update...

Okay. I got it working again by setting it up as a new phone instead of just syncing. Then I backed up. All is good today.

How do I restore NOTES that were deleted during an itunes sync from Mac mini to iphone 5?

How do I restore NOTES that were deleted during an itunes sync from Mac mini to iPhone 5?

I should mention that my notes were not being sent to icloud, my mac's time machine was not set up, and my latest back-up was 3 months ago.
I know, I know, very silly on my part. I've changed all this going forward...

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.

IPad Mini Won't Sync With Mac Mini (ios 8.1 OSX 10.6.8)

Problem : IPad Mini connects to iTunes OK, can be seen in iTunes and I can select which movies to sync to it etc. When I hit the "apply" button after making a change (ie deleting or adding a movie) the sync lasts just a second then the "sync" button remains greyed out, and I can't make them sync.

I do not care who you are, I have more than once been interfered with, this is my home, you do not have the power to steal my network speed every day, I have a complaint you

Sync my Mac Mini to my iPhone 4

Can I sync my Mac Mini to my iPhone 4, remotely using home sharing? Basically I want to be able to sync music, movies, and audio books to my iPhone without having to dig round the back of my computer for my apple cabble. I want to know if its possible and how I would do it.

I upgraded my MBP to Mac Mini
That's an upgrade? Oh well, wrong forum for that discussion.
and now Iphone 4 won't sync. I used migration assistant to transfer my settings and I can plug the iphone into the new mac mini and it will charge but it won't show up in itunes or sync or appear on the desktop. It still syncs just fine with the macbook pro but I am selling that soon and need to get the phone in sync with the new computer. Any ideas? Your help will be appreciated.
Try going to the top bar in iTunes, Store and Authorize this computer if you have not. You'll want to deauthorize the MBP before selling it.
Not sure this will solve your problem, though.

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!!!!!!

ATH.exe: iTunes WiFi Sync on Windows is Useless

Apple. Listen.
This isn't a question. This is a statement. You broke something. You will fix it. And you will tell us when you do.
You've seen this problem in a few dozen discussion threads already: if iTunes WiFi sync is enabled with an iOS device and you walk out of range with that device, one of your little service applications -- ATH.exe -- completely loses its mind. It starts using 100% of a processor core and blocks any further attempts to sync with the iOS device until the process is killed.
Even on iTunes 11.
The only way to prevent it is by disabling WiFi sync entirely.
Yeah. It's an inconvenience. Piddling, really. I'm sure we're all complaining about nothing. Except -- well, a lot of us did kind of spend an awful lot of money because we happen to think your product has an edge, for whatever reason, over your Android-based competitors. It isn't so bad that we can't do the WiFi sync thing so much as it's awful that everyone else can.
Unless of course you (spent even more money and) run iTunes on a Mac. Those people probably don't have this issue. So maybe you owe us a little love. Maybe you owe it to us in a big darn hurry. Maybe you should care just a tiny bit more about the usability of one of the primary marketable features of iOS since version 5.
This isn't a question. It isn't even really a choice. You pretty much have to do it. So you will.
I'll take it as a kindness (by which I mean you'll be doing the right thing and that's the only reason you ought to do it) if you acknowledge this issue or stand out in front of it in some way. Not for me. I'm thinking a bit more of the other few million users of your gadgets who probably don't even know they have the problem because they aren't technically inclined enough to open Task Manager to figure out why their CPU fan has been roaring all day.
Do we understand each other? Wait -- no, that's a question. Yes. We do. We understand each other perfectly.
Now get to work.

SNMP has nothing to do with iTunes. I think you are looking at a coincidence.

I would like to download my iTunes library onto a mac mini running OS 10.4.11 (and iTunes version 9.0.2), or transfer it from my macbook air, running OS 10.7.5. Tried downloading direct from iTunes and file sharing, but neither is working.

Hello apple support community! I'm trying to download my music purchases from iTunes onto my old Mac Mini. It runs OS 10.4.11 and doesn't have the capacity to upgrade to a newer OS. When I ask iTunes to check for available downloads, it says there are none. I have tried updating the iTunes software (version 9.0.2) but it can't connect to the server, even though I am on a wireless network. I've tried using home sharing and file sharing with my macbook air, but neither are working. Grateful for any suggestions!! The only thing I really use this mini for is music, so really hoping to be able to get my music purchases on there. Thanks.

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

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 on Windows 7 64-bit

I know there are many many threads on wifi syncing being unreliable, especially when running iTunes on windows. I've been trying to get wifi syncing to work to my Windows 7 (64-bit) machine ever since it came out a year ago and I've finally got it working reliably. For me the answer was to enable SNMP (through add/remove windows components). I'm assuming SNMP is a required component for wifi syncing to work correctly. If this is the case why doesn't apple advertise this fact? There is no mention of SNMP in the support article on wifi syncing. Is iTunes supposed to enable SNMP at install, and somehow it failed on my machine? Or is SNMP not required, and it's only a coincidence that somehow turning it on on my machine fixed some other configuration problem?
In any case I hope that this post can help some other people fix their wifi sync problems.

SNMP has nothing to do with iTunes. I think you are looking at a coincidence.

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.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.
