Setting up wifi sync

How do i set up the ios5 wifi sync option?

Here is how it work on both my iphone 4S and Ipad 2.
OSX 10.7 updated, Ipad Update to ISO 5; Iphone 4S on IOS 5
Itunes must be running. Plug in Iphone or Ipad it works the same.
1. Under Devices slect iphone or ipad
2. Under Summary tab; options check on Sync with this Ipad; iphone over wifi.
3. Click apply on the bottom right.
4. Click Sync on the bottom right.
now you are ready to sync wirelessly with out being connected to power. You do have to do
it manually but the following works as long as the devices are on. I have tested with them with
what I call asleep. It does work.
If you are in Itunes on your computer you can select the device you wish to sync and then click on
sync in the bottom right hand corner. It will begin to syn and show it on either device.
In my testing both devices and my Imac are on the same wireless network.
Next; On your iphone or ipad got to settings
Once you have synced you are now set to sync wirelessly. I am not sure yet what gets synced.
I am still testing that.
On your device go to settings/general/Itunes Wi-Fi Sync, select Sync now. In a second or two your device should show that it is syncing right next to the wifi signal indicator.
I have doing it this way for two days.
Let me know if I have missed a step or something.
Hope this helps someone.

Trouble setting up Wifi Syncing with iPhone 4

I'm trying to set up Wifi syncing with my iPhone 4 and when I disconnect the cable the device does not remain under devices on iTunes. This means wifi syncing is not possible.
Any ideas what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Rhys

First you need to check the box 'Sync this iPhone over WIFI'.
Connect your device to your computer, select our iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane. Then on right Pane, scroll down under 'Summary' tab to check above box and click the APPLY button on the lower right window.

How to set up wifi sync ios 5

hey guys
I have Ios 5 and itunes 10.5 but how do you get it to sync wirelessly as in the sync setting it says it will sync when my mac is available, but its on with itunes open
has any one actually got it to work
thanks

Steps to get it working:
1. Connect device with USB to iTunes
2. Turn on Wifi sync in iTunes - in device Summary > Options page
3. Make sure device is connected to power adapter - otherwise wifi sync does not work
4. After some playing you probably want to turn it off again - it is even slower than the USB sync

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.

IPhone 4 no longer recognized by computer after turning off wifi sync

I've been having trouble with my brother's iPhone 4 syncing to our desktop computer. When I realized it was set for wifi sync I turned it off; now the computer won't even recognize the device. I know it's not the usb port because I've pluggen in other devices (GPS and memory sticks) and they all work just fine. The computer makes the sound when something connects when I plug in the iPhone but it doesn't appear anywhere or even register on the phone or the computer that it's plugged in. Can anyone help me out with this?

Did you follow all steps in the article below?

HT1296 How do I switch WiFi syncing on my iOS device from an old computer to a new computer?

While trying to move between an old computer a new computer I find that I cannot convince my iPad to WiFi sync to the new computer and no amount of power cycles seems to affect it.

You set up WiFi syncing for a new computer just like you did for the old computer.
If you still have the old computer, connect the iPad to it and unselect WiFi Syncing with it. Uncheck Sync this iPad over WiFi and click on Apply, then eject the iPad.
I assume the power cycles means turning on off the iPad and the computer and restart them. Instead of just restarting the iPad, reset it and reboot your computer again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
It might not hurt to reboot your router either. Unplug it for about 30 seconds - or is this part the the "power cycles" that you already tried?
It would really help if you explain what happens, what steps you have gone through, etc ....rather than just making a statement about what you can't do. If you tell is what you have gone through, it might be helpful.
Are you taking about all WiFi syncing or can you manually initiate the sync but it will not auto sync when plugged in etc, etc. .... Details ....

The computer that I first used to download iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I set my wife up on. While I can see all my music in the iTunes library I cannot sync my iPod

The computer that I first used to download iTunes, to buy songs and to sync my iPod Nano to iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I inadvertently set my wife up on. When I sign in, while I can see all my music in the iTunes library, when I tried to 'sync', I have lost all my music in my iPod and I now have my wife's library on there instead.
I subscribed to iTunes Match, thinking that this would help. It hasn't and I'm not happy!
I have arranged to take my iPod into an Apple store next Tuesday but isn't there something you can tel me to do that ties my iPod wth my music and leaves my wife's music for her iPod? Please help, I am so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this, reinstalling iTunes, restoring my iPod....
Can anyone help?

Hi there kushfromgbr,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
About SyncServices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
OS X Mavericks
OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.
If you would like more information about setting up iCloud on your devices you can take a look at the article below.

ITunes Wifi Sync Issues

After updating my Mac to Lion & IOS5 on both iPhone & iPad, wifi iTunes syncing seemed to work fine for the iPhone but for the iPad it took forever (hours) every time.
It shows all my photos, songs, videos, etc. being loaded onto the iPad each time, even though I'd only made a change or two since the last sync. It was like it was restoring from backup or setting up a brand new device. On the iPhone it syncs in just a minute or two & only upates the changes.
Now, out of the blue, every time I try to sync the iPad, either on wifi or with USB cable, as soon as I connect the iPad it locks up iTunes.
I see everyone saying to turn off the wifi syncing in iTunes but I cannot get to the page where you set all your choices for syncing, song & photo transfer, etc. I can see the iPad in the Library but I cannot select it. As soon as I unplug the USB cable it shows the iPad option screen for a split second & then iTune is no longer frozen & works perfectly otherwise.
I have tried turning off wifi on both the iPad & Mac becasue it is only supposed to synce when they are both on the same wifi but it still shows my iPad in the Library list, even though it is not on wifi or connected to the Mac via USB.
I have also gone into the iTune Prefs & turned on the "Prevent devices from syncing automatically" switch & nothing works.
Any help on how I can get this thing to stop trying to sync via wifi & go back to the old USB way?
Many Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Update did not go well since Ipod could not be restored from back up due to back due to back up not being found. Backed up two days before just in case and still could not find back up.
Since updating to IOS 5.0, apps are startiong to sync and then time out but none of my music will sync over a wired connection.

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:

IOS 6 and iTunes 10.7 WiFi Sync issues

WiFi sync works for a day or two then from the device is just keeps saying Looking for Mario Michela's iMac... I restart iMac, reboot iPhone and or iPad. connect via usb cable, uncheck WiFi Sync (apply), recheck WiFi Sync. It will work again for 2 or 3 days. Then starts to fail again.
I've tried using Eithernet and wifi on the mac (no difference)
I've tried turning off the firewall (no difference)
I've reset all setting on the iPhone (no difference)
I've reset SyncServices Folder (/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsy nc.pl full) -(No difference)
I've called Apple Care 3 times, I keep getting passed around because sync is between product departments.
iOS doesn't support desktop applications, iMac doesn't support mobile devices..
I'm hoping iTunes 11 fixes this issue.. This issue didn't occur prior to iTunes 10.7.

I am getting sync issues too (although on OSX) - seems like others are getting issues too:

Turning off wifi-sync

I know other people have posted questions about this topic, but nobody seems to be having the exact issue I am.
Hardware is MacBook and iPhone outlined below, and iTunes version 10.6.1(7) running.
My issue is as follows. My iPhone did not back up for around 3 days on wifi. As most posts here suggest, I simply unchecked the 'sync over wifi' box on iTunes, and clicked apply. After this, my phone has not been detected by my computer.
I have tried power cycling both phone and computer, with wifi on the phone both on and off, but my phone will not show up in iTunes when connected by a cable.
Many other posts here suggest that under the phone's Settings - General - iTunes wifi sync tab there should be a slider to turn the option off. All I have is a button (shaded out) saying 'sync now' and a message that my sync will resume once my MacBook Pro is reconnected.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi i have the same problem ,,my iphone just apears like a gohst on my mac itunes and then it disappears !!
and i get the message it will sync when my mac is connected!
i have tried everything out there in discussion groups nothing worked....
but you can try those,,maybe they work for you...
sign out of your apple ID on both your iphone and mac ituens store ,,and check that there no other macbook onder wif-sync ( maybe you have synced your phone with another computer ! -if that is the issue, you have to connect your phone via cable to that computer and uncheck wifi syn and deauthorize that computer for your phone )
- if there is only you own macbook under syn menue-then just log out all your apple ID -quite itunes are reload it again - connect your phone via cable and under infor check sync over wifi-the disconnect your phone -quite itune- and after 1 minute or so open itunes again -----
it souns stupid -but some of the users said it worked for them,,,but i still have the problem even i restore it to factory set up twice !!

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.
