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 !!

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?

If i turn off wifi my phone only goes to Edge and not 3g by default?!?!

I have a very wierd problem with iphone. mine isn't about 3g reception, as i get eprfect reception. the problem is if i turn on wifi and am connected to a network, once i tun off wifi or get out of wifi range, my phone will automatically revent to Edge, and not 3g. i have to go into network settings and disable, then re-enable 3g, and then 3g works perfectly. even if wifi option is on but im not connected to wifi, this works fine. but if and when i connect to a wifi network, suddenly my phone starts reverting back to edge when i either turn off wifi or move out of wifi range. i then have to disable and renable 3g for it to default back to 3g
whats the deal here!! this seems to be a glitch in the system. anybody else facing this problem?? im on 2.1 and i didn't have this problem with any of the previous 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 and was getting eprfect 3g every time.

I think reverting to Edge when in sleep mode is by design.
It make sense when you think about it. Why would you need 3G data speeds for a phone that is sleeping?
But it should pop back to 3G when you open the phone.
I have another thread where ACTIVE Edge transmission streams block switching to Wifi.
This sounds like all part of the same problem. It sounds like Apple reverted to the lowest power radio when in sleep mode, but has still not perfected the switching upon awakening.
If you wake your phone, but do NOT slide the Un-lock slider till you see 3G/wifi it seems to work better. However, it it doesn't work in 6 seconds, its not going to work at all in my experience.
Switching to 3G is so time consuming (not only MY time to initiate it but also the time it takes to actually wait out the "No Service" to get to a 3G icon) that I use very little 3G at all. I'd rather have a solid Edge reliability and
wifi than a flaky unpredictable and very limited coverage 3G. I think I wanted a iPhone V1.5 (half way between V1 and V2. Keep the 3G, its the source of a lot of headaches on this board).
In 3 years it might be different as 3G spreads, but right now 3G is not worth the trouble and expense given the plethora of free wifi.

How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting the ipod to PC?

My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

A couple of ways...
Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
Or...
Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.

How do I turn off automatic sync?

I recently accidently deleted most of my itunes music library. Previously I had itunes set to automatic sync. All my music is on my ipod classic and I want to keep it. I am worried that if I connect my ipod to the PC it will automatically sync and will delete most of the music on my ipod. How do I turn off automatic sync and set it to manual sync? Is there a way of changing the settings without connecting the ipod? Would it be of any help if I had access to another ipod and could I use this to change settings. I would be very grateful for any help.

To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.

Turning off wifi n bluetooth in windows

Thank you for viewing my post..will be glad if you could help..
I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 13 and installed windows using bootcamp..
now i am faced with the problem of not having a way to turn off wifi and bluetooth..is ter an application for this or any other way?
please suggest

did you install all of the windows drivers from the system disk? if not, insert the OS X Install Disk 1 & run the windows installer that shows up.
the bluetooth & wifi icons should be in the system tray. all you should have to do is click on them or a right click (usb mouse), control click, or 2 finger click should bring up the menus & select to disable or turn off.

I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes. Can that be done? I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod. Help!

You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you. One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
Here is one such product.
