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

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.

Sync via Wifi ?

Well, you can with AppleTV : but can you with the iPod touch ? I use my iPod in my car mostly. It would be great to auto-sync via Wifi when you arrive at home, without needing to unplug 'the beast' from it's holder !

No WiFi sync at the moment.

Sync via wifi would be nice?

wouldn't it be nice to be able to sync via wifi instead of having to dock all the time .

I agree, that would be great to sync iTunes content without docking. Technically, it is already available via Cydia after you JB your device. I'm not recommending you JB just for this feature, as it is buggy. If you want to, go for it.
But I agree with the first reply and you should suggest this to Apple.
Cheers.

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.

Sync via wifi, but can I get photos off it via wifi?, sync via wifi, but can I get photos off it via wifi?

with the new iOS5 functionality that I can now see my phone in iTunes via wifi, is there any way to get the photos I took with the iPhone camera off the phone and onto my computer also without plugging it in (via wifi)?

You need iPhoto 9.2 for Photo stream.

Podcast syncing via WiFi and EDGE

It sure would be nice if the iPhone could update podcast feeds via WiFi and EDGE. This would be great for more time-sensitive podcasts such as news podcasts and/or those updated on a daily basis.

While it is theoretically possible to podcast over wifi, edge is not a timing sensitive protocol. The data gets there when it gets there and that is it. Even if edge had enough bandwidth to run the podcast (which it generally doesn't) it wouldn't be a pleasent experience.

IPad not seen by Apps that sync via WiFI.

I use Things and GoodReader. Until recently both apps functioned as advertised and sync'd via the wifi. After installing recent iTunes upgrade both apps fail to find the iPad.
I've restored the iPad to Factory fresh and when that didn't work the iPad was stripped down to only Things and then GoodReader. In both cases the iPad could not be found. All apps have been subsequently reinstalled. Things is an essential part of my work process and the WiFi sync was great.
Hope you can help.

Update:
I'm using iTunes 9.1.1 (11) which, I believe, is still considered the latest by Software update.
GoodReader fails only for WiFi.
The iPad is visible and accessible via the usb connection. All usb based services and functions perform as advertised.
Yesterday, the MBP was set to "create a network". When the iPad was configured to connect on this ad-hoc network Things sync'd with the iPad. When the MBP was returned to normal mode (ie using WiFI router) Things failed to sync. This cycle was repeated. Conclusion Things will sync on the ad-hoc network.
The following may be relevant:
(1) The iPad and the MBP both work well with WiFi router.
(2) Syncing previously worked from April 10th to May 18th -- corresponding to iTunes update.
(3) All Apps were removed, iPad firmware restored to factory fresh and Things installed. - No Joy.
(4) Firewall on MBP turned off / on with no noticeable effect.

Problem syncing via wifi palm tx with windows xp pro

I have had my palm tx for a couple of years and had no trouble syncing to my xp pro machine until today. I just got a new wifi dsl-router/modem from embarq (it is a ZyXEL P-660H-D1). I had no problems with my former wifi dsl-router/modem (D-Link DSL-G604T). They are both 802.11b/g. I have enabled b and g on the new router.
The Palm TX does connect to the new router using wpa and I can surf to see web pages. However, it does not "see" my desktop on the network. I've made no changes to my desktop network configurations. (The desktop is visible on the network when I use my lapto). I have checked all the settings in my palm tx and my hotsync manager on the pc. I have tried connecting by putting the desktop's IP address in the Palm, but nothing works. Can anyone think of any setting in the router I might change to resolve this?
FYI I can sync using the cable, but I really prefer using wifi for syncing.
Thanks for any help you can give. (I'm new to this community, sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I searched and couldn't find an answer.)

Hello darthemma, welcome to the Palm Support Community!
It sounds like you have the settings correct. I can only suggest you make "Static IP's" for both the computer and TX in your router. That will assign the same IP address to each device permanently.
Here's my standard "Wifi Hotsync" help file. Hope it helps!
Wifi HotSync with a TX
1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it's checked.
3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).
6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!
7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again. Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option. Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to set a rule to allow it.

Certain items not syncing via wifi sync

wifi sync is working great for my idevices both automatic and manual. However, I occasionally get this message after a sync "20 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more info." It's always the same number but the message is intermittent with syncs even though I haven't changed much with what I'm syncing. And I can't figure out manually by looking through my iPhone contents whats missing.
Where on iTunes is the diagnostic log to figure out what isn't sycing?

So what exact configurations do you have enabled from under the Summary, Music, and Movies tab? You have the Sync all checked songs and videos option ticked? What about the Music tab? Is set it set to sync Entire Library? If so, make sure the sync all checked songs and videos option is not ticked from under the Summary tab and then resync your iPod.
You aren't getting any error messages while syncing your iPod are you?
