Itunes wifi sync useless

First off let me say I love the idea of syncing wirelessly. That being said I reall wish apple would get it figured out. Ever since they updated to itunes 10.5 and iOS 5 with "wireless" syncing I have had problems with all of my devices syncing. In particular my ipod touch 4th gen. Most of the time when i try to sync it wirelessly it has some error or another and won't complete the sync. More recently though when I try to sync it either says the ipod could not be found and then kicks it out of the device list or just simply kicks it out without any messages at all. These sync attempts are made both from itunes and the ipod itself. The only way I can get any semblance of a reliable sync is by connecting directly to the computer with the USB cable. Even with that though I still have problems. My photos either won't sync entirely or large portions of one album end up in the wrong folder on the device (i.e. photos from a trip to alaska are in the folder for my tirp to Australia). The photos are seperated on my hard disk and before the 10.5 and iOS 5 updates always synced properly. With the photos issue i have tried the delete Ipod photo cache several times to no avail. For all issues, I have restarted all devices and the computer several times to no avail as well. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

In particular my ipod touch 4th gen.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone has two computers in (iTunes wifi sync), how can I remove one of them without using it ?

    Hello everyone.
    My iPhone has two computers in (iTunes wifi sync) how can I remove one of them without using that computer?
    because that PC stopped working so I had to recover it. Now everything is gone on that PC.
    Also I bought a new computer (MacBook Pro) and I use iTunes on it in the mean time. Now I want to remove the old computer!
    here is a photo of my (iTunes WiFi sync)
    is there any way that I can use to do that?
    Thanks

  • ITunes Wifi Sync issue

    Hi,
    I canceled a wifi sync session (pressing the x in the area in which iTunes shows what it is currently syncing to/from my iPhone) and ever since doing so my iPhone is no longer recognised in iTunes.
    It doesn't show up on the device list.
    Things i tried:
    1.     Quit iTunes (Finder > iTunes > Quit iTunes)
    2.     Restart computer
              --> also restarted the iPhone before trying again
    3.     plugging in the USB cable.
    4.     Go to Preferences --> Devices --> option "prevent iPod, iPhone, iPad to sync automatically" isn't checked.
              --> Makes sense, since my iPad is connected and syncing properly. Double checked it anyway.
    5.     Searched on Google: not finding anything useful. searched on words like: osx + itunes + wifi sync + not showing
    System spec's:
    iMac 27" 3,4 GHZ i7, 16GB ddr3, SSD. OSX Lion 10.7.2 installed. iTunes 10.5.2 (11) installed. Latest updates installed, completely updated.
    How do i fix this issue ?

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • TS4062 IOS 7 itunes wifi sync broken

    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.

  • Reset iTunes wifi sync, broken cable

    I have an iPhone 5 cable that is now of questionable origin upon closer inspection.
    It powers the phone, but can't get the iPhone to show up in iTunes/iPhoto.
    Is there a way to reset/setup iTunes wifi sync without using a cable?

    No, but a new cable is $19.

  • 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 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!!!!!!
