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.

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 is not working on win7 64 bit OS

I am having problems using itunes wifi syncup with windows 7 64 bit OS. I connected the cable and enabled the option under summary screen. The "syn now" is enabled now under settings -> General -> itunes wifi sync up. When i un plug the cable from my computer, it is greyout and displays "Sync will resume when XXX computer is available". Its annoying. Push some ideas !!

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

IPhone/iTunes Wifi sync doesn't work

Hi guys,
I don't even have hope to solve this problem anymore but I guess I should post this anyway and show apple the crap software they're giving us.
I'm on Lion 10.7.4 (iTunes 10.6.1) and, after upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1, my Wifi sync with iTunes stopped working. Out of nowhere. Looking for an answer I started digging on apple foruns and found out there are dozens of threads discussing the problem and literally hundreds of possible solutions. I've tried the following:
- Restart iTunes and iPhone (full power cycle).
- Check the "Sync over Wifi" option on iTunes when iPhone is connected using cable
- Uncheck the "Block iPhone, iPod and iPad from automatically sync" on iTunes > preferences > devices.
- Restart Router
- Reinstalling iTunes
- Restore iPhone
- Move to trash "com.apple.iTunes" and "MobileDevices.framework" files. Restart Mac after.
- Make Airport on Mac and iPhone forget the saved networks and reconfig them
- Open ports on router 123 (all), 3689 (TCP) and 5353 (UDP)
- Disable and enable uPnP on router
- Install Remote app
- Use "Release Liase" option on iPhone under Settings > General > Network > Wifi > Blue Arrow
NONE solved it. I gave up. Apple *****.
Interesting behaviours:
- Remote app doesn't work at all. I can't use it under Home Sharing or that code thing. My phone and Mac simple can't see each other anymore.
- iPhone conects fine using cable. Everything is working and, when I pull out the cable, iPhone vanish from the list. Even with the Wifi option enabled.
So, if any of you can solve it, you will have a place in heaven. And in Apple developing team, probably.
Thank you!

Hi guys,
As I suspected, none of the previous solutions worked. I strongly believe this is some crap in iOS 5.1.1 OR iTunes 10.6.1. More precisely: this is APPLE fault, not something we did wrong or didn't do.
My Wifi sync worked great before this updates (Lion 10.7.2 and iOS 5.0). I can't isolate the problem because I did both updates in less than 24h from one another. Now I'm back to cable and I think I'll still be until Mountain Lion is out.
@rodrigonewtonI sent apple my feedback. Basically everything I wrote here. And I can't connect bluetooth either. Luckily I barely use bluetooth on my Mac.
@ou812ManySushi Lucky you! I'd already tried this without success. What is your iTunes and iOS?
@joejohns90 Doesn't work here, the option is ALWAYS greyed, waiting for my Mac to do something. The only way the "sync over Wifi" button work is pluging the cable. Ironic, isn't it?
Anyway, thanks for the feedbacks guys!

ITunes wifi sync doesn't work since moving Mac to a new Airport

Hi,
I recently moved my Mac mini which acts as an iTunes 'server' for all the other devices/computers that I have at home from being Ethernet connected to the airport base station in the middle of my network (the Time Capsule described below) to the Airport Extreme at the end of my network. Since moving this, all my devices continue to show in iTunes but if I try and initiate a wifi sync it spends 10 to 20 seconds trying to find the device and then fails (the device then shows "Sync will restart when mini becomes available" or similar). If I completely reboot all my airport base stations it seems to start working for a while. For info, I have tried disabling the Mac mini firewall but it has no impact. Sync works perfectly with a cable and used to work pretty well (but not 100% of the time) before I moved the Mac mini.
Any help or ideas would be really appreciated, my network layout is described below:
My network cosiest of a Sky TV broadband ADSL model & wifi router which provides internet and DHCP using 802.11b/g.
Connected to that via a long Ethernet cable I have a latest gen. Airport Express in a different part of the house creating a 2.4Ghz 802.11n only network with 'Allow this network to be extended' checked.
I then have a 1st gen. Time Capsule extending that network and an Airport Extreme (not the latest version) which extends the network further. If I look at the iPad Airport Utility app I see this network as a long, straight line where each extends the previous.
I have all the Apple Airport devices in 'Bridge mode' so that the Sky device is providing DHCP for the entire network.
I have an old-ish Mac Mini (Intel single core) running a fully updated version of snow leopard (can't update to Lion on a single core) with the latest version of iTunes. I have several iOS 5 devices (fully updated).
Regards,
Phillip.

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 has stopped working

iTunes has stopped syncing over wifi with my iPhone 5S and iPad Mini. It's always been a bit flaky, but has recently stopped working completely. iTunes will not see the devices unless I either reboot them, or plug them in with the Thunderbolt cable, deselect and select "sync with this device over wifi" and apply. If I try to use wifi sync, iTunes gives me a "looking for device" message and then drops the connection.
My set up is a Mac Pro running 10.10, hooked up to an Airport Express via Cat 6. Both iOS devices are on iOS 8.
I have tried changing the IPV6 settings on both my machine and my Airport Express, resetting the network settings on both iOS devices, and flushing my machine's DNS cache.
I see the following messages repeated in my system log:

ITunes 10.5 won't work on Windows XP? PLEASE HELP!

I upgraded iTunes to 10.5 on my PC that has Windows XP and the iTunes store immediately stopped opening. Tries to load & remains on blank screen. Music & Videos still work. Could update apps via iTunes. When you connect an iPhone/iPad it sticks on "verrifying device" and won't actually sync or backup. Please help!!!!!!!!!!

If you have any parental control software either stand alone or installes as a module in your security software, then uninstall the parental control and reboot. It worked immediately for me after working on it for 2 days.

Help!!! ISO5 installed and now my itunes store/sync won't work

Hi, a few days ago i installed the iso5 update, eversince then i have not been able to access the itunes store. When i plug my ipod in it says 'backing up', it regognised my ipod but so does computer to open files which usually doesn't happen. When i plug my ipod out it still says 'backing up' and itunes is impossible to use, my ipod still works fine. I have checked that i have the most up to date itunes 10.5. I have unintalled and reinstalled itunes 3 times. The second time last night it worked and I synced my ipod, then today by ipod started 'backing up' and now I can't do anything. Can anyone help, is there anyway just to revert back to IOS4, everything worked fine and I was happy, i dont need or want the up date, i found the apple page with the last IOS software but it says the download is avalible on itunes which i can access.
Has anyone had the same problems? and if so how have you solved them?
Thanks

I updated iTunes to v10.5 and then plugged my iPOD Touch 4 (32GB), which invited me to update from iOS4 to iOS5. The download trundled on for about an hour (as they do!), but during the download, or installation (I can't remember) which a flag appeared with 'Rescuing' or a similar phrase, and carried on downloadin. The download appeared to finish OK and then the sync cycle began. All my Apps, contacts etc synced OK, but the iTunes syc stopped after only a small fraction of my tunes were synced. A message came up 'sync canceled'. I have tried changing from 'sync' all tunes in Library to selected Playlists, but no joy. All the songs appear to be on the iPOD, but only those in bold play. The rest are in pale script and don't play. I was going to delete all my tunes from the iPOD and readd fron my iTunes library from scratch, but I don't know how to do that. Perhaps upgrading both iTunes & iPOD consecutively was pushing it!
I would be very grateful if anyone can help. Thanks

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.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Wow. iTunes wifi sync on Windows XP is horrible

I've given up using wifi sync.
Many times a day, iTunes pops up a message saying it cannot sync to some phone or other. But, it never says which phone or what the problem is.
At least once a week, the apsdaemon goes crazy and drives my CPU to 100% utilization. The only way to fix that is to reboot.
I hope Apple is reading.

Well, let's see. The fact that I'd have to update my video card. The week or so it would take to install Windows 7, reinstall all of my apps, and get all of the settings correct. Trading the relatively few problems I have now with XP for a whole new set of problems. The risk that some program, driver or piece of hardware I need won't be compatible with Windows 7.
Trust me, I'm not alone. And I wouldn't be surprised if iTunes wifi sync was just as horrible on Windows 7.

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!!!!!!
