New iphone 5s will not connect wireless to itunes

I recently upgraded from 4s to 5s on 2 units.  The 4s would sync wireless to airport but both new 5s will not.  Neither my phone or my wife's phones will connect wireless but will when connected.  I have checked 'Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi'  under Summary when connected by cable and other system settings on the phones seem to be in order.  I have searched Apple site and believe all necessary steps have been taken.

I thought I should say something since I had the same problem with iTunes 11.1.3 connecting my iOS devices. iPhone 4, 5, iPad 4th gen, all on latest iOS7. My setup is on macpro 3.1. I tried updating OS, from  OSX Lion, ML and Mavericks. Obviously, updating OS did not solve the issue. iTunes was the latest and greatest at 11.1.3 on all of them. I also had the annoying TRUST message pop up constantly, while it could connect to iPhoto, but no iTunes, for backup and syncing.
Long story short, found out on various forums people were having success syncing their iOS devices again on previous versions of iTunes. In my case, 11.1. Going back to 10.7, it will not support iOS 7. For this, you need to delete iTunes 11.1.3.
I found this helpful, but beware it involves Terminal.

Then, through good ol' google, I could fine a previous version of iTunes 11.1.
Installed it, connected my iPhone 5, and voilà, iPhone detected as before, and ready to backup and sync.
Spent many days researching this, it may not resolve the issue for everyone, but I hope it can help some folks running into a similar issue.

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

  • New iPhone 5 will not connect to sync

    I have a new iPhone 5 I got a couple days ago and it will not connect to sync in my car. I have a Ford Fusion 2012, and I had a 3GS that I used with it, and it worked perfectly for the few months I've had the car. I've tried everything with my iPhone 5 but it will not connect. It doesn't even ask me to put in the PIN. Sync shows the PIN and then I click on sync on my phone and it just sits there for a minute until eventually it says to make sure sync is on, in range and ready to pair. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes recognizes my iPhone, but will not connect to the iTunes Store

    After having to re-install all the software on my computer, iTunes will recognize my iPhone 4 okay, but will not log into the iTunes Store using a valid user name and password.  I can still log in to the iTunes store on my iPhone, but just not on my computer. I get an error message that says, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."  I also conducted the "Run Diagnostics" test for network connectivity tests, device connectivity tests, and device sync tests.  All three tests passed with green lights.  However, I still get the following error message "One moment please, Connecting to the iTunes Store, Loading..." when I highlight the iTunes Store and attempt to log in with no success.  I also disabled the Windows 7 firewall as I did get a previous error message that said iTunes was not enabled in the Windows firewall.  I have my computer configured the same exact way I did before having to reinstall all my programs, and iTunes worked fine.  I've included some of the comments from the diagnostics below...
    Thanks for any advice you can provide.

  • New iPhone 5 will not connect to WiFi

    I finally upgraded to a iPhone 5 from my old 3G and I cannot get it to connect ot my home WiFi.  It can see the WiFi and I have WEP encription on the network using a Netgear WGT624v3 wireless router and 128bit encryption and when I enter the password, the iPhone gives me an "incorrect Password" warning.  I have tried several times to enter it and even texted it to the phone and copied and pasted it to avoid any typos to no avail.  I have powered down the router, removed the encryption, tried another encryption key, rebooted the iPhone but cannot get it to connect.
    This is a router with a 802.11 g and b protocol working on channel 11 and I have not had issue with our iPad 2, my wife's iPhone 3GS, my old iPhone 3G or our Macbook Pro.  I also tried to enter the network manually and it just does not want to accept the password whether it needs one or not.  What am I not doing correctly?  I say that there were some issues when people upgraded from an earlier operating system to the current one but this is a new phone as of yesterday??

    OK, I'm in and here is the fix for any of you that have a Netgear router of the WGT624v3 variety:
    Open the router interface by opening a browser window and in the address bar enter http://192.168.1.1
    Log in to the router -- User name = admin and Password = password (unless you have set it up differently)
    On the left hand sidebar near the bottom Web Support and Knowledge Base
    Near the center of the screen click on Get More Downloads then be sure the model number carried over, you may need to readjust that back to the WGT624v3 because it does matter.
    Under Firmware/Software at the bottom of the list WGT624v3 Firmware Version 2.0.21_1.0.1 (North America)
    (this is a 3 version downgrade in the firmware but it works)
    Click the Download button in the pop-up then Continue without registration
    The zip file will download and you will need to extract the file wgt624v3_2_0_21_1_0_1_na.chk file to a  place you can find it later.
    Go back into the router interface http://192.168.1.1 and log in as before if necessary
    Under Mantenance click on Router Upgrade and then Locate and Select the Upgrade File from your Hard Drive: and then select the file in the folder you placed it. and then click on the Update button.
    The router will take a few minutes to load and cycle but the iPhone will connect with any of the security protocols you are using in you other network devices, 
    I then made sure the modem did not ask me to check for updates so I don't screw it up again-- Yes, this is a downgrade of 3-4 versions and you would think newer is better but there is something about the new OSi that is not compatable, don't know if this is an Apple problem or a Netgear problem.
    If you have a D-Link router, God help you but I'll bet there is a similar fix.  Newer is not always better,

  • New iPhone 4S will not connect to itunes!

    Hello I hope someone can help. I just got my new iphone 4s. Had a 3GS before which worked perfectly with itunes syncing etc. I turned on the new phone today and went through initial set up prompts until it asked me to connect to itunes. I plugged it in and nothing happened. Usually itunes would boot up and recognise the iphone but it registered nothing. The iphone made the charging noise and then nothing. I have already done a sim swap and now cannot get the phone to work and cannot call for help as my phone wont work.
    My macbook is around 5 years old and is version 10.4.11. The version of itunes I am using is 9.
    Please can someone help me out or offer some advice on what is going wrong here!
    Thanks

    The iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or later which requires Mac OSX 10.5 or later.
    Upgrade your Mac.

  • New Officejet 4500 will not connect wirelessly

    We just got a new Officejet 4500 that I began to set up last night.  First I followed the recommended setup path for setting it up wirelessly: USB connection to my MacBook Pro, install the software, use the setup wizard, etc.  It chugged away for a while and eventually I got back a bunch of errors "Failed to retrieve IP".
    I have a wireless hub provided by my ISP which I have set up with WEP (no Mac filtering, no special firewall within the home network).  After googling around for a while I decided to switch to WPA personal.  I got my MacBook working with that, then tried the printer wireless setup wizard again.  No go, same errors.
    Next I tried setting it up (still with WPA) directly on the printer using it's menus.  This also didn't work.  The printer printed out a Wireless Network Test Report which looked like this in the Diagnostics Summary:
    Wireless On: PASS
    Wireless Working: PASS
    Network Name (SSID) Found: PASS
    Security: PASS
    Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings: PASS
    No Filtering: FAIL
    Connected: Not Run
    Signal Strength: Very Low
    Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID): No
    Downlink count: 2
    Channel: Not Run
    I also switch back to WEP and reran the setup via the printer menus, and failed the same way and got the exact same diagnostic summary.
    What now?

    Hello-
    If you have a Officejet 4500 G510g , the printer is not wireless. You can use an ehternet cable and do a network install. That way any device that is wireless can use it as long as your on the same network.
    The OJ 4500 G510n is wireless.

  • Iphone 5 will not connect

    My new iphone 5 will not connect to my new iMac 27" on bluetooth. The mac sees my phone but that is it. Also my wireless keyboard and mouse are very flaky. This was happening before and after 10.8.2 suplemental update. What else is there to do? Iwold like to transfer some photos I took.
    Thanks

    Hi tdavey51, welcome to the Apple Support Community.
    Bluetooth problems can be related to the batteries you are using on your Keyboard & Mouse, The Apple Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse require batteries that give 1.5V constant, some cheaper batteries are not powerful enough or don't provide a constant voltage which causes the bluetooth connection to drop. I'd recommend changing the batteries to see if this clears the issue.
    Regarding your iPhone 5, try powering it off and back on again (hold the sleep/wake button until you see slide to power off).
    The easiest way to transfer photo's from your iPhone to the computer is either through iTunes into iPhoto if your iPhone is set up to sync to that machine, just connect it using the USB charge cable to the iMac - see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12116 for more.
    Alternatively you can e-mail the photo's to yourself or share them using Photo Stream and iCloud - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 will give you more info on this.

  • New AirPort Extreme will not Connect to iPhone 5

    I just upgraded my old AirPort to an AirPort Extreme.  Everything seems to be working fine, except my iPhone 5 will not connect to the new Airport.  When it is selected as the new wifi option, the connection wheel just spins and spins and it will not connect to the wifi.

    Reset the airport to factory and start over.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    In the new setup, keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg AEgen6 for base station name.
    Since you have issues with wireless name the bands differently.. AE24ghz and AE5ghz
    Set no security to begin with.. Set 2.4ghz to channel 11, 6, 1 in that order.
    Once the iphone connects.. please set WPA2 Personal security with a pure alphanumeric password of 10-20 characters.
