Why can't I air sync my iPhone or iPad to PC?

I can sync my iPad and iPhone to my new PC via cord, but when I try to air sync the devices are not seen in iTunes. Are there settings I need to change?

Thanks, it's the silly little things we overlook! Had been air syncing just fine on old computer, but got a new PC on Black Friday. Had put iTunes over to exterior hard drive and copied over into new computer, had synced with cable to both iPhones and iPad, but had forgotten to check the silly little box you have to scroll down to on opening page indicating wifi sync. Rereading the instructions (which I had followed setting up old PC that air synched fine) is always a good idea! LOL
We get so use to doing stuff on the computers, sometimes we start looking at ports and stuff much more involved than we have to if we just remember the basics!
Thanks again.

  • Why can't I eprint from my iPhone or iPad?

    iPhone problems printing

    @ sealandia, - What type of printer and Apple device do you have? Have you changed routers or some other part of your set up? If not and the same Apple device, router, and printer are still in use, I would start by making sure that the printer and the device are on the same network. After you have checked to make sure that they are on the same network, I would power cycle the printer, router and device to make sure that they are all synced up as they can get out of sync and then not be able to "see" each other.
    To do that power cycle:
    1. Unplug the router (most do not have an on/off button)
    2. While waiting for at least 30 seconds on the router, completely power down the Apple device, and printer. Make sure that the Apple device
    is off and not just in sleep mode. Power the printer down using the power button.
    3. Plug router back in, wait for it to be fully back on and working, then turn printer and phone back on, check network settings.
    4. Attempt to print again after all devices are back on and running.

    Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
    Here is one way
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6311
    Here is another
    http://www.apple.com/au/osx/server/
    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

  • Can't seem to sync my iphone 4 running ios 7 with itunes 10.6 running on a mac running osx 10.5.8 What can I do to fix this?

    can't seem to sync my iphone 4 running ios 7 with itunes 10.6 running on a mac running osx 10.5.8 What can I do to fix this? Is there an itunes update? or How can I return to the previous ios?

    To sync an iOS 7 device you need to be running iTunes 11.1.1; iTunes 10.6 is way too old and won't work. You need to install iTunes 11.1.1, but to do that you need to be running at least Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    So you need to do the following:
    1. Upgrade your Mac to at least OS X 10.6.8 (later preferably, but 10.6.8 at the miniumum).
        a. Check first to see if your model Mac can be upgraded, check that it has enough RAM and so forth (2GB at the least, more if possible).
        b. If you can't upgrade your Mac, or don't want to, then you will have to buy a new Mac with the latest version of OS X (currently 10.8.5, soon to become 10.9) and iTunes 11.1.1
    2. Install iTunes 11.1.1 on your newly upgraded Mac.
    3. Sync your iOS 7 iPhone with iTunes.

  • Why can I no longer backup my Iphone to Outlook using ITunes?

    Why can I no longer backup my Iphone to Outlook using ITunes?
    for 6 months I never had a problem as it was indicated on Itunes but now the word OUTLOOK has disappeared from the screen!

    "Anyone know why? "
    Not I.  I have no such issue, nor does anyone I know.
    "Are we no longer able to use our own music?"
    We are certainly able to use our own music.  I do it often.
    "Is this legal?"
    Is what legal?  That you have an issue with your system?  Yes, that is legal.

    If I add a new account user,can I sync my iPhone and iPad to that account without effecting the other user? I'm trying to sync my iPhone and iPad  to a new account on a computer I am now sharing after my computer died.

    Don't create a new iTunes account.
    Just update everything with new info/change password/ security questions.

  • HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  I keep getting this message:  iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device.  What can I do?

    I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message:  "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device."  I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account.  What can I do?

    This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
    If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

    You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.

  • Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone?

    Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone any more? I used to be able to open most but now I can't open any.  Now it just comes up with a message 'unable to play video.Check your internet connection and try again' There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I am on wifi and full signal strength. This is happening on both ipad and iphone. It's not the problem where sometimes a video wants Adobe to open it. This message comes up as soon as you try to click on the video play button in the video. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this please?

    Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding.  I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad.  i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above.  So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone.  Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening.  As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook.  now I can't.  Hope you can help.  regards and thanks Vicki

  • 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?

    Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard.  Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    ( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)
