Mountain Lion - iTunes WiFi Sync and Remote Stopped Working

OS X Mountain Lion 10.8
iTunes stops connecting wirelessly to both my iPad and iPhone with no settings changed on any of the three devices. Only change made in the last 2 hours was enabling of Photo Stream on the iPhone and iPad. Other than this, I have fiddled with no settings on my computer or on the iPad or iPhone.
- Home Sharing is ON and active. WiFi is working on all three devices and all are able to access the internet.
- All devices on the same network.
- WiFi sync is enabled on both devices in the iTunes settings, but both disappear upon being unplugged
- Remote is unable to find to my iTunes library on either device, and I am unable to access Home Sharing from the Music app on either device.
- No firewall settings have been modified at any given time.
Why is this happening? I have turned Photo Stream off on both devices since this stopped working, but it's made no difference. What has caused it to stop? This is so annoying...

I saw a tip elsewhere to go into Keychain Access and clean out any saved passwords that relate, even preipherally, to the Exchange account in question. I did that, and now it seems to sync all calendar events. This may be a coincidence, or it may not. You decide

What exactly it the difference between iTunes Wifi-Sync and iCloud Backup?

Okay, i do not yet have a mac, only an iPod touch, but am (hopefully) buying a mac soon (MacBook Pro to be specific). I buy all my music etc on my iPod, and am currently use iCloud sync which i have all the buttons in the ON position. Anyway, i am rather confused after reading alot about the two methods of syncing there exact differences. When i get my mac can i use both- for reasurance or do i have to choose one? Also, does iTunes wifi sync my photos and videos (thats photos ive taken and videos ive made/filmed) and does iCloud do this. Also if i use both photostream and iCloud/iTunes for my photos, will that create double ups of all my photos?
Thanks

Wi-Fi sync works in the same way as syncing over a USB cable, albeit more slowly, and can be used when your iTunes library can see your device on your local network.
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
iCloud backup saves the settings and documents from your apps to the cloud instead of your own computer. It seems you either backup to your computer or to iCloud, but not both, at least not on a regular basis. You may still be able to trigger a local backup manually when using iCloud for backup.
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
Photostream operates independently of either of the previous features to move your pictures to your computer and other iOS devices when in range of any working Wi-Fi connection.

When I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion my Quicken 2006 for Mac stopped working, short of paying the $59 for Quicken Mac Essentials is there anything else I can do to read my old files?

help

Preface: I have no experience with Quicken Essentials, but have read, quite often, on this and other forums that it is a further strip down of features from Quicken 2007. So I agree, get Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion, but...
BE CAREFUL with Quicken!
When Intuit finally released Quicken 2007 for Lion v16.1.1 in March, 2013 it was a godsend for older Quicken PPC users. It will directly open the data file from Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 PPC versions. The upgrade to 16.1.2 with the release of Mountain Lion was also stable.
I found version 16.1.3 to crash on opening on my Lion Mac, so I downgraded back to version 16.1.2 and all is well. Others are now reporting that version 16.1.4, the current version sold by Intuit, is also causing some problems. I have not been able to isolate these reports.
My point: purchase Quicken 2007 for Lion, but ALSO:
1. Make copies of your Quicken 2007 PPC data file and back them up BEFORE you attempt to open it in 16.1.4; and
2. If you run into problems, let me know by email (michaellax) at AOL dot com.
If it works fine for you, please report that too!
PS: Baltwo will tell you he has encountered no problems and good for him. But the reports of others with problems keep mounting...

Earphone and remote stopped working.

I have the earphones that come with the iphone 5s. I've had the phone for a little over a year and I opened the earphones a couple of months ago. They suddenly stopped working. This has happened with every pair of Apple earphones, I've purchased. I have the box. Would I be able to get new ones? The right ear doesn't work and the remote doesn't work either. Please help.

Hi misty_saha,
Included Apple accessories carry the same coverage as the device they're included with, so if your iPhone is still covered under its Warranty or AppleCare plan, your headphones would be as well. For more information on coverage and service options if your earphones appear to be faulty, you may find the following page helpful:

How can I delete my old Laptop from my iPhone (iTunes Wifi Sync) and connect it to my new Laptop

HI;
I have an iPhone 4S Factory Unlocked, up to date (iOS 6.0.1). I connect it to my Laptop named "The Love" via USB and opend iTunes and checked Sync over Wifi to enable this feature. Everything works great.
After a couple months I sold my Laptop and bought a new Laptop named "Raid", I did the smae steeps, connect it to my new Laptop via USB and opend iTunes and I checked Syn over Wifi to enable this feature and hit Apply, also I did the sync via USB cable and it works fine.
Now I want to sync via wifi, so I went to General --> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync --> here my iPhone still showing "Sync will resume when "The Love-PC" is available", Okay I sold it!! What I will do! I stock! does this mean I will need to find my old Laptop and buy it back????!!!!
I tried to do those steeps over and over, same result, my iPhone stock with the my old Laptop, It seems my iPhone liked my "The Love" Laptop
My question is:
How do I delete this setting? and connect it to my new Laptop?
All the best;

Well " even if I plugged it via usb" I meant that I did all the spteps, connect my iPhone via USB, Open iTunes, Check on Sync this device via WiFi, click on Sync, Unplug the iPhone.
Again I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE USB OR SYNC MY IPHONE THROUGH ITUNES VIA USB
I HAVE AN ISSUE TO SYNC MY IPHONE VIA WIFI (WIRELESSLY), THAT IS MEAN SYNC MY IPHONE WITH ITUNES WITHOUT USING USB CABLE.

ITunes wireless sync and Remote App not working in in unison.

I'm running iTunes on a Windows 8 machine, and I'm having issues getting both these above mentioned applications working together.
I did have some issues in the beginning with setting up wireless sync for my iPhone, but these were fixed by restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service that runs in the background.
The remote application seemed to have similar issues in the beginning, so I tried restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service - and this seemed to help, but then wireless sync faulted again.
After having a bit more of a read, I made sure UPnP was enabled across the board - in my PC and router, SSDP on my PC was changed to automatic mode, all bonjour services were confirmed running and there and I couldn't see any funky rules in my firewall that may be causing me issues.
I did find though, that both the remote app and the wireless sync functions operate on the same ports; TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353. I'd imagine if this would be a problem, it would have been picked up - but I can't find any solid info to disregard this thought. Can anyone confirm or deny that this could be an issue?
Any other ideas? Cheers.

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.

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.

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...

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

Hello,
Did you ever find a solution for this ?
I have the same issue and i dont know how to fix it.

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 ?

Wifi Sync and Windows8

Hello everyone,
I've been having a problem with iTunes wifi sync feature. It hasn't been working since iTunes 11 was released and my devices upgraded to iOS 6.0+. The only time iTunes recognizes my iPhone or iPad 2 is when they're directly connected to my desktop. Is there any way to fix this? Could this be related to iTunes running on a Windows 8 machine? I've read through multiple posts about people having problems with this, so I'd appreciate any help in fixing this!

Are you running Lion on the Mini?
If so, perhaps try having "Wake for network access" selected, as per the following document:
