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:

  • ITunes WiFi sync not working after Lion reinstall

    Hello all,
    Here is the situation. Wifi syncing was working superbly well for both my iPhone and my iPad. They could be upstairs while I was downstairs in my office and I would see them both in iTunes and could sync them at will. Great stuff!
    Until yesterday. I bought a new hard drive for my Macbook Pro, installed Lion on it and imported all of my apps and settings on it. Everythings works fine EXCEPT for wifi syncing. When I plug my devices to the USB cable I see them appear in the iTunes sidebar but I soon as I disconnect them, POOF! They're gone!
    The checkbox IS checked. I tried unchecking it, syncing via USB, rechecking it an resyncing to no avail. I just can't get the darned thing to work again!
    Both devices and the laptop have been restarted multiple times.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Can't believe it was so simple.
    I just restarted my Mac and everything came back to normal.
    Ok then sorry for the disturbance, move along, nothing to see here.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 with iOS 7.1

    After upating my (2) iPads and iPhone to iOS 7.1 none of these devices will sync with iTunes version 11.1.5 via wi-fi.  Is there a fix for this?

    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!!!!!!

  • Two users accounts, WiFi sync stopped working

    Hi,
    I've just set up my MacBook with two user accounts, and set up iTunes within each user account to use the same library from a shared folder (as per the instrcutions on Apple support).
    The idea is that the first iPhone and iPad syncs to the administrators iTunes, and the second iPhone syncs to the second user's iTunes.
    The second users iPhone never worked with WiFi sync, the first user's iPhone used to WiFi sync, but now doesn't. The iPad still syncs ok with the adminstarors account.
    By "not syncing", I mean not appearing as a device in itunes without being atached with a cable. Everything works as intended with a cable.
    I've tried initiating the sync from the iPhones themselves, without any success.
    Can anybody help?
    Cheers.

    Don't know the solution (I don't use wifi sync) but thought I'd mention that -50 is a timeout error.  Maybe someone else here has an idea.

  • ITunes Wifi Sync not working....

  • Itunes wifi syncing not working

    Ever since I installed ios7 neither my iphone or my ipad have or will sync to my imac.  I have tried to force it to sync, simply clicking the sync now button, but with no results.  Anyone else having this issue. I also noticed that all my documents in my ipages are no longer present on my idevices but they are still in the cloud. Any thoughts here?

    When I went to bed last night I unplugged my iPad from my mbp and it disappeared from iTunes.  When I got up this morning, it showed up in iTunes (I didn't even have to plug it in).  When I plugged the iPad into my AC charger, iTunes saw it and started a wireless sync.  Go figure.  Maybe it was just a time issue.  I'd done my iPhone yesterday morning and my iPad last night.  Maybe iTunes needs a few hours to actually recognize the wire connection..........
    I use apple wireless routers (time machine and airport express), so they should work without changing any settings.  I was going to try power cycling this morning, but since everything was working I didn't have to.

  • Itunes wifi sync not working HELP

    my iphone 4 wont sync with itunes over wifi why?
    can anyone help?
    they are both up to date

    Have you tried rebooting your iPhone by pressing and holding both the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time until the apple symbol appears, ignoring the power off slider?

  • 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.

  • 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.
