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.

  • Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard.  Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard as an upgrade so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?

    To expand on Niels post...
    First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Specs:

    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,

    ( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)

  • WIFI Sync with iPhone 5

    Hello - I used WIFI sync with my iMac and the iPhone 4S without any problems for a longer time. Since upgrading to iOS 6 and the change to iPhone 5 I have serious problems with the WIFI sync. The iPhone will not be recognized in iTunes (10.7), I have to restart iTunes for getting it recognized, the sync is slow and usually stops if music must be transferred. iTunes hangs then often and must be forced quit. The syncing via USB cable works fine. I find similar problems with my iPad 3rd gen.

    After 6.0.1 is out things went from bad to worse. Still the WIFI sync is more than unreliable in my setup.

  • ITunes 10.7.0.21 Wifi sync with iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    Sine IOS6 upgrade my iTunes 10.7.0.21 does not detact my iPhone for Wifi sync.
    Wifi connection of iPhone works fine, a ping to the IP does also work.
    What can I do to solve the problem ?
    I connected the iPhone through USB, disabled Wify sync, restart, enabled Wifi sync, restarted and iTunes still does not find the iPhone.
    USB sync works.
    Is there something I am missing to do ?
    Regards,
    Jerry

    I'm having the same issue, running 10.7 and with both a new iPad and an iPhone 5 (both running iOS 6). Windows 7 64-bit FWIW. Also of note, it was working with only minor hickups on the most recent version of 10.6 (although sometimes iTunes wouldn't "recognize" my iPhone or iPad), and I've told the firewall (Symantec Endpoint Protection) to allow the wifi MAC addresses for both iDevices. Hopefully this is fixed with iTunes 11, although syncing is less and less relevant.

  • Wifi sync with iPhone quit working

    It was working fine until I ripped a couple of CD's into ITunes.  Then the wifi sync quit working.  My iPhone 4 IOS5 simples has a line that says "waiting for iMac".  It does sync fine with the USB cord so it's only a bother to get out the cord.  Probably shouldn't complain but it is curious that it did work fine and then just quit.

    Well, it seems like I fixed it by enabling port forwarding in advanced, enabling zero config in device directory, and then restarting both devices. Not sure exactly what it did, but now I can wifi sync. So I'm pretty happy!

  • HT5654 Trouble udating itunes to synce with iphone (updated to ios 7)

    I recently downloaded ios 7 for my iphone however, now it will not sync with my itunes (MAC).
    It tells me to update my itunes, unfortunatley every time i try to do so, my mac says i am running the latest version (which i know for a fact i am not).
    please advise?
    is it perhaps worth uninstalling itunes and re-installing the latest version?
    i also tried a direct download of the latest itunes from the itunes website. this also failed .

    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.

  • I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad.  As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message.  I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

    I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad.  As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync.  I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed.  Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's.

    Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's. My Phone will show up in iTunes, my wife's wont. After plugging my wife's phone into my Win 8.1 pc and check Sync over wifi, I hit the eject button, could this be the reason? Or might it be the different Apple-ID's? If the answer is the first, is there any way tohave iTunes forgetmy wife's phone so I can addit from scratch?

    Ello,
    I know this, but thats in the past now sadly. The question is: Why wont my wife's iPhone show up in iTunes via wifi?
    Is it because I pushed the eject button? And if so, is there any way I can make iTunes forget my wife's iPhone and *** it from scratch again?
    Or is it because the phones uses different Apple-ID's?

  • How do i tell my iPhone 6 to wifi sync with a new macbook? my last macbook got fried by the cat and I cannot access it

    My lovely old macbook running Snow Leopard got fried by the cat.  My new iPhone 6 plus still wants to wifi sync with this dead macbook and how do i tell it that i've now got a new macbook running Yosemite?  It's greyed out on the phone sync page and although i've authorised this new computer I don't know what else to do.  I don't have a back up from the previous computer - the phone was restored in December when I upgraded.

    Have you tried getting your old computer repaired, or did your Snow Leopard completely fry it? See what I did there.
    If you can, try and scavenge the old hard drive and try and boot from it with Boot Camp (you will need something so you can connect the hard drive to your computer with a USB). A quick Google search will tell you how to do that.
    That way if you can get on to it, you can tell your iPhone not to sync with your old computer (which you would be running on your new computer) and instead tell it to sync with your new computer.
    I hope this isn't too confusing for you (no offence - I mean my writing, not your knowledge).
    Thanks, Charlie
    PS. How exactly did your cat fry your old Mac?

    Having the same issue. Iphone 4 at 5.0.1, Itunes at 10.5.1 iMac at 10.7.2. Synch session fails to start either wi fi or USB connected. Don't know if it is related, but since turning on Match the Music app crashes on the iPhone. No problems on iPad 1, though

  • I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud

    I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud. Any Suggestion?

    perfect. ok do the following:
    settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
    Please confirm.

  • IPhone 4S won't do wifi sync with iTunes

    I can't get 4s iPhone iOS 6 to do wifi sync with iTunes on my Mac Pro.  Running Lion on Mac Pro and latest itune version.  Current with all app and software updates.

    No, the front screen has never been replaced before but I'm starting to think that the display connector might still have moved a little, I'll try and open it today.
    Thanks.
