Sync via network?

I've had the "The required disc cannot be found" error and other associated errors since I got this iPod, and I have tried absolutely EVERYTHING I can find on the Apple site and other various forums to overcome it. Nothing works, nothing at all.. I can't even try connecting the iPod by firewire to see if that would help it, as my motherboard doesn't have and firewire ports.
The iPod syncs the first time fine, as in, from a clean format - But any attempt at syncing whatsoever thereafter makes iTunes (and my whole PC) hang, followed by the error(s) coming up. I can't use my brand new iPod, and it's REALLY getting to me.
I'm at the end of my tether, and the only solution I can think of at all is to connect my iPod to another PC and sync it via the network.. Though is this possible? If I do this, any chance that it's my motherboard's USB interface interfering will be cast aside (and to be honest, I don't know what else it could be).
Ta in advance,
Aaron

It works with my PC based setup. Need a Mac expert to give some advise.

Sync via wifi devices not listed in iTunes

I have 3 iOS 5 devices.
I attach each of them via the USB cable to my Windows PC and they are shown.
I select "Sync via WiFi" and remove the USB cable and the devices are no longer
shown in iTunes. I believe they are suppose remain in the device list until
they are detected via WiFi they are not.
I restarted iTunes, the iOS devices (1 iPhone 4S and 2 iPad 1 devices).
Attaching a power cable to the device does not make them appear.
They are all attached to the same WiFi network as is the PC.
Any insight appreciated.

Shut down your router, iDevice and your computer.
Restart ithem in following sequence:
1.Router
2.Computer, open iTunes
3.iDevices
Wait for a few minutes for iTunes to detect the devices.

Palm TX won't hot sync via wifi, but will surf the internet via wifi

My Palm TX will hotsync with Windows XP via USB only. I cannot get a wifi hotsync. I can get on my wireless home network and surf the net, but I cannot hotsync to my computer through my wireless home network.
I've tried everything I can think of. I cannot find my computer on my TX during a Hotsync search with the Firewall on, or off. I've hard reset my TX, I've hard reset and wiped my TX. I've entered my Computer name into the TX manually and I've entered the IP address of my computer. Nothing..... It does a USB sync just fine. I've checked to make sure TCP/IP connection was turned on in the Palm Desktop software . . . it just won't sync via wifi.
Using:
Windows XP home
Palm Desktop 6.2
Palm TX: with original OS and original Hotsync
...help?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Ditto that, though until about a week ago I could sync my TX via Wi-Fi without problems. Now it doesn't get past the initial screen, then the error that I should check my connections, etc. I want this back so I'm gonna work on it.

HT1386 2 days ago did sync via wifi with Ipad and it wiped out my notes.   anyone know if they can be retrieved anywhere?

2 days ago did sync via wi-fi with Ipad2 and it wiped out my notes.   Anyone know if they can be retrieved and how?
Also today decided to try to sync with I cloud and it wiped out my contacts. contacts did not go to outlook either.   Fortunately they are still on Ipod touch, but i am afraid to do anymore syncing.   Not the first time I have done a sync!

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad. I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe. In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.
Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in my iPhone and iPad? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?
Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small. What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

Do Reminders in iCal sync via iTunes?

I'm using Reminders in iCal 5.0.1 on OS X Lion. I sync my iCal data with the Calendar app on my iPhone, via iTunes (not iCloud). The weird thing is, none of my Reminders data is syncing, either from my iPhone to my iMac, or from my iMac to my iPhone.
Does the Reminders data only sync via iCloud?

This doesn't help you, but I just recently started having the same problem, I just upgraded my 3G to 4.0 in iTunes so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but nothing on my phones calendar will sync to iCal. Events in iCal sync to the computer just fine thought. I hope someone can help me figure this out!

Google Calendar alarms not working in iCal when synced via delegation

If I set up syncing to my shared Google calendars using Google's Calaboration app, I get a half dozen or more "Request Error, Calendar could not be found" messages a day along with the annoying bouncing iCal icon in the dock.
If I set up syncing via the delegation method — as per Google's general syncing instructions (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358#ical) as well as this Google Calendar forums thread (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=210c119ea4d2d37e&hl=en) — iCal fails to display event alarms (i.e., the pop-up alert window).
I need the alarms, so the only thing I can think to do is to tell iCal to sync with gCal less frequently.

Hi Guys,
Having something similar here with Google and ical, seems to be related to when using Google Enterprise Apps for me and a third party provider is in use. In this case a SAML provider. It allows me to get to a login page and asks me which Apps I would like to allow to access my Google Calendar. Once I have made my selections and hit ok it then gives me a pop up message saying that authentication has failed. This is strange as I have had to authenticate with Google to be able to access the application sync in the first place.

Sync via wifi to desktop no longer works after update

Hi all
I was running ios 7.0.2 and syncing to itunes on my desktop via was fine. Now I've updated to 7.0.4 (I skipped 7.0.3) I'm now unable to sync via wifi???????!
I have hear that iCloud Keychain could be the problem but I haven't set up an account and I don't want to!!!!! But if I did would that reactivate wifi syncing?????
Ever since I updated to ios7 it's been one problem after another

Oh and I'm running itunes 11.1.4 and yea I have uninstalled it and reinstall too

Apps no longer syncing via iCloud

I run a time-keeping app (Tyme) on my iMac and Macbook, and have always been able to keep the app data synchronised between both devices through iCloud. All of a sudden yesterday the sync stopped working (it now just hangs on the Macbook). The Tyme folder does not appear in iCloud Drive on the web either (even though on both devices I have the app ticked under iCloud Drive settings). The only thing I can think of that might have changed is that I restarted my iMac a couple of days ago, which will have installed any operating system updates that were pending.
Can anyone help?

You shouldn't be syncing using both iCloud and iTunes, check your settings you may not be syncing via iCloud (system preferences > iCloud on the mac and settings > iCloud on the phone)

PLEASE APPLE, GIVE US SYNCING VIA ITUNES BACK!!!!!! Why take away one of the most valuable features of iTunes???? Why take away our choice of syncing via the Cloud or locally with iTunes????

DO NOT UPGRADE TO MAVERICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DEPENDED ON APPLE’S CLOUD. It removes the ability to sync Calendar, Notepad, and Contacts between your apple devices. You then can only sync them via Apple’s Cloud. For those of you like me, that do not want to be depended on an external data base accessible via the Internet or Cel Phone (with data charges).
Why do I not want to use the Cloud to sync and backup?
1. I found I only have one device with me at a time or am sitting at a computer when I add to my calendar, make a note, or add/change a Contact. Syncing with iTunes while upgrading apps and doing a back up to two external hard drives worked great and met my needs.
2. I use WiFi and pay for the minimum data plan with my Cel provider (AT&T). I do not want to pay higher monthly data fees.
3. I do not like a central data base (that will be hacked someday) having the personal info I have in my Notes, Schedule, and Contacts.
4. I like the security of my most important data being on my own hard drives and written off to Data DVD’s, not subject to even rare central system outages/failures.
5. I do not like the prospect of becoming dependent on a Cloud in which the provider could decide at any time to either start selling information or charging monthly fees to recover the costs of providing the cloud.
I am reluctant to go to the trouble to go back to 10.8 because Apple will eventual stop providing updates to 10.8 and 10.8 compatible applications.

You will need to contact Apple through their feedfack channel. These are user to user forums, sorry.
