Since iOS8 update on 2 iPhones and iPad, they no longer connect wirelessly to OSX iTunes
Prior to updating my 2 iPhone 5 and iPad2 to iOS 8, they no longer appear wirelessly in iTunes on my Mac - they used to do this, which enabled the shifting of music etc so much easier. They do show in the sidebar as devices if connected by cable but this is a pain.
They are all backing up by WiFi.
Have I missed something or has this option been removed?
I'd be grateful for any advice.
WiFi sync does not work in iOS 8. I've filed a bug report with Apple.
My devices will show up in iTunes immediately after a device reboot, but within 24 hours, WiFi syncing is broken again and they no longer show up.

IPhone and iPad can no longer connect to iTunes Libary via Remote
Up until a couple of hours ago, I had no problems controlling iTunes on my MacBook Pro via my iPhone or iPad. Now, on both devices, I get an error saying it can't connect to my Library.
All devices are connected to the same network. I get the error whether my firewall is on or off. I have tried re-adding the Library. When I do so the relevant device shows up in iTunes and the pairing process SEEMS to work. It tells me that my iPhone can now control my library, but it still can't connect.
I've tried rebooting the router.
All devices show the same ip address for the router and all are on the same subnet.
I've just upgraded iTunes to 10.2.1 and everything on the iPhone and iPad has the latest upgrades.
Also when I go to the iPod app on my iPhone and go to More -> Shared -> and then my library, I get an error saying "Cannot Connect to Media Libary"
I've seen this advice, "You must also have the iTunes preference "Look for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad Remotes" enabled. " I cannot find this preference anywhere. It's not something I've ever looked for before so possibly the name of it has changed in a recent iTunes release. Can anyone tell me if I'm looking for the right thing and where I might find it?
Any other ideas?
Anyone else with a similar problem that has cropped up recently?Hi Everyone, I found a solution to this problem with no "Look for iPod..." option.
Check "Allow iTunes Audio Control from Speakers"
Then, RESTART iTunes.
Heres a picture of what to check off:

I just upgraded my iPhone 4 and iPad Mini to iOS 7, suddenly they both can no longer access to iTunes nor App Store. The message says "Cannot connect to App Store". After some research, I did reset all, and still the same. Can anyone have a clue? Thanks,
As I mentioned earlier, when I clicked on the App Store or iTunes Store, the message reads "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" or "Cannot connect to App Store" depending on which I clicked.
I did check iTunes & App Store, it used to show my Apple ID there, but somehow it shows empty there. I then manually typed in my Apple ID, it just won't work. I know for sure that my Apple ID works as I tried logging online using that ID fine, but my iPhone and iPA

I would like to be able to download software updates on my Iphone and Ipad at work without erasing my music. My home computer/Itunes has all of my music saved. is there a way to use two computers w/o erasing information? Or can i transfer the music from my Iphone to my work computer?
- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. -
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?
Can anyone help with this?
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad? Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone alsoCheck icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there. If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device. If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts. Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done. See if the duplicates are still there.

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?
This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem. -
Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync?
Thanks joanlvhYou can update it on your computer, but then when he syncs it to his own it will say this iphone is already synced with another itunes account bla bla and will ask you if you want to sync it with this account. It will wipe anything you put on it using your own itunes account. BUT it wont wipe off the new iOS5

I just hooked up Internet at my house today and I'm trying to connect to it on my IPhone and IPad but neither are connecting. My grandma's Android phone is connected and is working just fine. Why isn't any of my apple products working?
Since you give no clue as to what make/model/version WiFi router you are using or how you have it configured it's hard to comment.
Look here for some WiFi troubleshooting advice http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/wifi/. -
I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad2, can i use both chargers in the iPhone and iPad, they have different amperage...
You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone 4S. Not recommended to use your iPhone charger to charge your iPad. So, use your iPad charger to charge both.

I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do? If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks x
Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
