Why can't iTunes see my iPhone via WiFi

Basically my iTunes (on a MacBook Pro) won't see my iPhone ( so I can sync it wirelessly, it used to, now it just doesn't see it....EVER!
I'm on the same wifi network
I've tried rebooting my Mac & iPhone, no luck
I can't connect via USB, because my MacBook's USB ports don't work (a whole other storey)
I'm using a MacBook Pro, running the latest OS X 10.9.4 & latest version of iTunes 11.3
iPhone 5 with latest iOS 7.1.2
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, but I am 100% sure that both devices are on the same wireless network.

  • Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    We have cell data plan.
    I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off.  But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off.  I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off?  I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

  • Why can't I see the iphone?

    Well, not sure what I did, but I can't see the iphone anymore when its connected through the USB (it does charge) or using bluetooth for sending files. Ideas?

    What about making sure the iPhone is visible to the computer?  Open "System Information" by selecting the menu item "  > About This Computer..." then click the "More Info..." button.
    Then click the button "System Report...".
    Then click select the item "Hardware > USB" section.  Observe whether the iPhone is present in the list:
    type the key combination <COMMAND>+r to refresh the list after plug and unplug the iPhone.

  • Why can't I see my iPhone 4 footage in iMovie? I hear audio, but no video.

    Hello! This issue appeared in iMovie '09, and has persisted into '11. I have reinstalled the app, cleared caches, deleted old projects and all-around run out of ideas.
    My iPhone 4 footage, and older Flip h.264-encoded footage, will not play in iMovie. I can see the thumbnails, but when I scrub or playback the footage (whether in the project or not) I see black, but hear the video.
    Has anyone encountered this and successfully fixed this?

    Why not?
    You don't see it at the top of the page?
    Please explain.

  • Why can't I see my iPhone images in Finder?

    5-6 year old iMac with 10.6.8
    iPhone 4
    Yes, I can import into iPhoto, but since I do my editing in Picasa I'd rather just drag or import straight from Finder. Yes, I can start messing with iCloud but really all I want is to see any files or images on my iPhone in the Finder so I can simply and easily access them.
    I'm starting to get really sick of my iMac and its OS, not being able to do this is one of the reasons that's pushing me further and further toward just building my own Windows PC instead of dealing with compatibility and access/forced application usage issues.
    Cheers,

    Did you try to use Image Capture?
    If you do not have iPhoto installed on your computer, you can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
    Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
    Click Options.
    Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
    Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
    Click OK.
    Click Download All.

  • Why can't I see the iTunes store on my iPhone 5c?

    Why can't I see the iTunes store on my iPhone 5c?

    Well then it is somewhere on one of your Home pages or in a Folder:
    Do a spotlight search to see if it accidently got moved into a Folder: Swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the Spotlight search and type in iTunes. If it is in a folder, the folder name will show up to the right.
    If it is not in a folder, but shows up on the Spotlight search, then you need to look at each Home screen to see if you can find where it got moved to.
    Finally, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout, which will reorganize all of your icons so that the original Apple core apps are on the first Home screen as they were originally. Of course, if you have a lot of app icons that you have set up on specific Home screens you would have to move them all back to where you wanted them. But that should put the iTunes icon back on the first Home screen.

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

  • Why can't I see the column browser in iTunes 11.4?

    Why can't I see the column browser in iTunes 11.4?
    Just imported a CD of rare folk music that a friend gave me and want to edit the title, album name, etc like I used to.
    In iTunes under "View" the column Browser options are greyed out - not available.
    Seems that this is the view where editing is possible.
    What can I do to bring back column browser?

    Select Songs (not Artists or Albums) at top and you can use the Column browser.

  • Why can't I see my PayPal payment option in my iTunes account?

    Sorry, hit send too soon.  Tried to download from app store for last 2 days, but it said that I have to verify my PayPal account.  Nothing wrong with PayPa (verified thru PayPal) but I don't even see a PayPal option in my iTunes account.  I Remember setting it up when I got my iPad, but why can't I see it now to make changes.  The only thing I see is my credit card info, but downloads won't pull credit card info.

    I figure this out on my own.
    Tap on the graphic of the book (not the chapters link in the top right corner) and the process bar with time played, remaining, and even repeat are available.
    Lesson learned? If you keep tapping, eventually the solution will be found.
