ITunes & wireless incompatibility?

Whenever my computer (iBook) is connected to a wireless network, iTunes will open for about three seconds and then "unexpectedly quit." When I turn off AirPort, it works just fine. I've tried repairing the permissions, deleting iTunes preference files, and completely reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.
Any ideas?

Does this happen with any wireless network or just a specific one? Does this happen when you are connected to the internet via ethernet? Do you have the latest Airport software for you airport card?

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

How can i sync ipad1/iphone4 with itunes wirelessly using airport extreme network

how can i sync ipad1/iphone4 with itunes wirelessly using airport extreme network

Hi,
This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.

Bonjour iTunes Wireless Sync Failure

Looking to see if anyone has experienced any iTunes Wireless Sync issues: Network setup as follows:
2504 Wireless Controller running 7.6.100.10 and three 1602 AP's set for LOCAL Mode running CAPWAP, and running a Guest WLAN and a User WLAN.
We use a wide variety of Mac products (iPad, Mac Mini, AppleTV, iPhones, MacBooks), and are now experiencing iTunes Wireless sync failures. I have mDNS enabled, mDNS is added to the WLAN's and the interfaces, multicast is tuned on, IGMP snooping enabled, multicast is enabled on the wired infrastructure....the weird thing is all the other Bonjour features are working. We can push desktops to the AppleTV, Stream Music, Print, share files, etc iTunes Wireless Sync is not working. I've been watching the mDNS browser and using the Bonjour Browser on my MacBook and I notice a two odd things:
1) I never see a a Layer 3 Multicast MGID Entry with the Apple Multicast Network (224.0.0.251) populate in the Multicats Window
2) I have the service enabled for ITunesWirelessDeviceSharing (_apple-mobdev._tcp.local.) in my mDNS profile but I never see any device use that sting. While watching the mDNS browser I do occasionally see the follwing: _apple-mobdev2._tcp.local. which is generated from the iPhone 5's. I copied the string and created a new service and added it to my mDNS profile but still no joy.
Any advice would be welcomed
Chad

Please check the Itune version

TC XBox360 wireless incompatibility: Has anyone tried static IP?

Hi all,
I've been reading the XBox XBox360 wireless incompatibility for a couple of days now. I'm like 5 hrs from a decision on whether to pick up the TC or AEBS and naturally have a preference of the TC for disk.
Everyone has tried with various security (and non-security) settings and I've not heard of it working wirelessly. But has anyone a static IP on the XBox360? Does that work? I couldn't find anyone who's tried that in the forums (or I didn't look hard enough).
Cheers

The problem that everyone is having is using the TC as the primary router within a house and connecting the xbox 360 to if via wifi. The two do not get on!!!! From what I can gather you have another router plugged into a lan port on the back of the TC, thus you Xbox 360 can connect via wifi through this router, like this
Xbox - Wifi - Other Router - Cat5 Cable - Tc - Internet
Is that your setup or am I totally wrong???

As of late in iTunes wireless multiple devices drop out?

Hello,
as of late in iTunes wireless multiple devices drop out about once a day? I have 2 airports and an Apple Tv connected which I have been using for several years with no problem.
I think this started with the latest iTunes update, but I'm not sure? Usually I have to quit iTunes and then up again, but sometimes I also restart the computer to get the devcies shown again. Are there any thoughts on that? Thanks!

what would happen if I deleted the folders?
Will the duplicates still show in iTunes?
What happens if I rename the folders something else?
Yes, the duplicates will still show in iTunes, but, as the directory has changed, iTunes will lose contact, and therefore show those files with an exclamation point.
Although, if you had "copy into library folder" checked, the duplicates will remain untouched, as they already are in the central location, where iTunes is told to store the music.
If this isn't the case, you can use this behaviour to get rid of the duplicates:
Once you renamed/deleted the folders with the duplicates, open iTunes. All the duplicates in question should now show with the said exclamation point next to them.
The next step would be to highlight the entire library manipulate an info, that is usually not needed. (I suggest using the BPM- field, enter "BPM: 96" f.e.)
Changes will not apply for lost track, therefore you can sort the library by BPM (or the info of your choice) and remove all tracks with an empty field in that collumn in one shot.
Hope that helps
Post back, if you have any questions.

Can´t play iphone´s music on itunes wirelessly

Hi! hope somebody can help me i tried several procedures but no one works so far.
Before i upgrade my itunes i was able to play my iphone´s music from my pc itunes wirelessly, this is because i have not enought space on my local disk so i have no music in there.
Now i´m trying with the itunes 11 so i am able to sync and see my library but can´t play any song, all the songs are greyed out.
anyone knows how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

To play tracks from an iPod, you need to have iTunes set for manual management of the iPod. Check to see if that's how you have your set, and if not, that's what you'll need to change.
Hope this helps.

yesterday it would show up but now it does not

How did you go about restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service? Also, when you uninstalled iTunes did you uninstall all of its components as well?
Make sure you're using a rear-facing USB port and also temporarily disable any security software.

Is it possible to sync with iTunes wirelessly?

Hi!
I have a 2nd Generation iPod touch with version 2.2, and I was hoping it would be possible to sync music and movies etc. wirelessly. It appears there is no bluetooth on the device, so I have tried creating a computer - computer network from my iMac. I have succeeded in getting both my iPod and my iMac to connect to this network, but I have not found a way to communicate between the machines. Am I heading in the right direction to sync wirelessly, or is there another way?
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy

No, you can't sync a Touch to iTunes wirelessly. It's not currently a built in option and I haven't heard of any workarounds.
You can submit your feedback to Apple and let them know it's a feature you want.

HT4199 Problem Syncing with Itunes wirelessly but can still connect to wi-fi.

I can access wi-fi from my Iphone 4s and the internet but can't connect to itunes wirelessly to sync the phone. Was working fine and then just stoppped. Can stilll sync when plugged in but can't use certain apps that require wireless syncing only.

First connect your iPhone to your computer, click on iPhone than check mark "Sync using Wi-Fi. There your problem is fixed. Make sure your computer and iPhone is connected to the same network.

Windows 8 and iTunes Wireless Sync

I have two windows PC's, one with windows 8 and the other with windows 7.
They both do not have third party internet security installed, and both just rely on the windows firewall.
I've noticed that even after disabling the windows firewall and defender on windows 8, that my iPhone 4S is unable to wirelessly sync with iTunes.
The windows 7 computer doesn't seem to have this problem at all once the firewall is down.
That obviously eliminates problems with my router.
Does anyone know a work around for this problem on Windows 8?
Thanks

Suspect this has something to do with Windows 8 not supporting the WinSock API that bonjour uses.. see http://lists.apple.com/archives/bonjour-dev/2012/Jan/msg00022.html

HT1947 I can't seem to get my earphones to work on my iPad mini whe using iTunes remote. I can stream to any Airplay capable system perfectly. Just want to be able to listen to headphones iTunes "wirelessly"

I can't seem to get my headphones to work on my iPad mini when using iTunes remote.
I can stream to any Airplay capable system perfectlyvia Remote and control iTunes on my iMac as advertised.
Just want to be able to listen to iTunes on my iPad "wirelessly"

Yay!
I discovered this lovely little forum entry that solved my problem!
(Remember this is for Windows, I'm not sure if the same will work for Mac)
This is what you do:
1: Have iTunes up and plug in your iPod.
2: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down until the iPod shuts down.
3: When the screen is blank, release the Sleep/Wake and just hold the Home button down for about 15 seconds.
4: After then, iTunes will recognize an I iPod in Recovery Mode.
5: That's when iTunes will ask you to Update/Restore your iPod.
I'm pretty sure those are the steps.
(If anything is wrong, can someone fix it, please?)
But that really does work.
The writer said that his iPod was "stuck on the apple screen, and not going anywhere after that."
That was my issue, so hopefully this will work for you!

Why wont iTunes wirelessly sync with my iPhone 5?

Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help me.
I have an iPhone 5, I am running the latest version of iTunes on my iMac and my iPhone is displayed on iTunes. It is ticked to wirelessly sync. Both devices connect to my home wifi. However more often than not when I want to wirelessly sync some new podcasts or music to my iPhone (I tick what I want and then click apply) a box appears and says "looking for iPhone" it does this for a minute or two before presenting me with a message that says something along the lines of "the info could not be backed up as the device could not be found". My iPhone then disappears from iTunes and will not reappear until I connect it via USB. Once I disconnect the USB my iPhone stays listed on iTunes until I try to wirelessly sync again. Similarly if I try to sync my iPhone from the phone to iTunes it just says "look for iMac" until eventually giving up.
I had an iPhone 4 before the 5 and it was set up in exactly the same way using the same version of iTunes the same iMac and over the same wifi and that worked first time every time. I have also tried quitting iTunes and restarting my iPhone.
Sorry for waffling on but its becoming slightly annoying and I was hoping someone could help.
Cheers
MrTrav15

I am having the same issue. Since updating to iTunes 11 my iPhone 5 will no longer wirelessly sync. I am operating the latest version of Mountain Lion on a two month old Macbook Pro. When I plug in the USB I go through the steps of making sure the box is clicked to Wireslly sync, but after a few minutes of un-plugging the cord my phone dissapears from my devices. It tries to locate it, but cannot.
Furthermore, when I launched iTunes 11 for the first time my phone was synced, but since I accidenttly hit the eject button in the top right, this button has yet to come back. Even when the iPhone is linked via USB. Am I Crazy, stupid, or is this a bug?
BTW, how did MrTrav15 have this problem on 10/17 a month-and-a-half before the launching of iTunes 11?

IPod touch wifi question + iTunes wireless store question

I have a wireless b/g connection at my house. I have 64 bit WEP encryption on my router. If I get an iPod touch, will it allow me to type in the code so I can connect to the internet?
Next, if I activate an iTunes gift card on my pc, will I be able to use those song credits on an iPod touch with my iTunes account? Also, can you activate gift cards and access your account settings in the iTunes music store on the touch?

Yes the ipod touch can handle wep, wpa and wpa2 encryption.
As long as you redeem your gift card on your pc so it is in your itunes store account, the ipod touch will use your gift first befor charging your credit card.
Hope this helps.

Loading music into iTunes wirelessly on network

Hello, I have a long question, but if someone could help me, that would be awesome.
Okay, I have a brand new imac laptop with the latest software on it. I just got it for a christmas present.
I was loading my music onto the new computer's itunes library from the older one. I was doing this wirelessly between the two computers.
I thought that was great, I could do that. Now today, I wanted to do the same thing, and I went back to it, and now I don't have the same controls
that I had the night before that allowed me to do that. I'm wondering what happened? I was using "home sharing" I believe it was.
I lost the ability to take from the previous itunes library I had and transfer the music to the new computer. I had a button on the bottom screen of itunes i was highlighting the music I wanted to put on the new computer, and pressing the button on the bottom that allowed me to do that. Now that button isn't there and I was just wondering how to get it back. Another thing I thought was weird was It was showing me what songs I didn't download yet to the new computer, and now it's not doing that either. If someone knows exactly how to help me, I would really appreciate that. Thanks.

Ungulate,
Double-check that both of the mentioned options are not checked.
Find a folder of new song files that you want to add to iTunes, and make sure that you know its location.
Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library, and when the dialog comes up, point it to the folder containing the songs.
You should end up with an iTunes library entry for each song, and the song files themselves sitting exactly where they started.
Pls try this and report back.
The only exception where this will not work is if your files start in WMA format, in which case iTunes will automatically convert them and put them converted versions where it pleases. But if you are starting with MP3s, this procedure will work.
