why does my iPhone 4 always say "sync will resume when "... MacBook Pro" is available??? i can't seem to sync over wifi

Try the following:
1. Connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable and let it sync.
2. Uncheck "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
3. Click Apply
4. Check "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
5. Click Apply
6. Quit iTunes
7. Disconnect the phone from the USB cable
8. Make sure your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi network
9. Open iTunes
iTunes should see your iPhone and connect to it. Go under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and see if you can initiate a sync.

    Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 (iOs 6.0.2) with the iOs 6.1.3 update?

    Hey Tigergirl17,
    Thanks for the question. If you haven't already done so, you may want to update iTunes to v11.1 (released on Sept 18th). After updating iTunes, you can then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.

  • HT2188 Unable to see Wi-Fi status. After Settings General iTunes Wi-Fi Sync it displays "Sync will resume when R300764 AHWR001 is available". This has happened ever since I got my iPhone 3G  3 months ago. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Unable to see Wi-Fi status after connecting to power source.  After tapping Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, the message reads: Sync will resume when "R300764AHWR001" is available. Could someone tell me how to sync my iPhone 3G to ITunes, please? Thank you. Jan

    iPhone 3G doesn't support Wi-Fi sync or IOS 5.1.1. You have to connect to iTunes using the dock connector to sync.
    Unless you have a iPhone 3GS or jailbroken.

  • [Solution] Wi-fi bug fix "Sync will resume when... is available"

    http://cnx.com/?p=1612
    Download an iTunes installer directly from Apple. Do not try using Apple’s software update; that way lies madness.
    Completely and totally uninstall iTunes. Do this from the Control Panel’s “Programs and Features” or through an uninstaller like CCleaner. I did the latter.
    Run the registry cleaner to get rid of the references to the old copy of iTunes completely. This should be automatic if you choose to “fix issues” (or similar language) from your registry.
    Reboot the computer, just to be safe.
    Install iTunes fresh from the program you just downloaded. This should make for a nice fresh install.
    Enjoy

  • IPhone 5 will not sync over wi-fi, "sync will resume when PC is available"

    I have been struggling with this issue for the last several days and I have yet to find a fix. I can sync my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1) with my Windows 7 PC using the USB cable, but I am unable to get wi-fi sync to work. I am running the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5). Shortly after I start iTunes my phone appears for about 10 seconds with a swirly activity wheel, which then freezes and the phone disappears again. If I try to manually initiate a sync from the phone, the "Sync Now" button is greyed-out and it says "Sync will resume when "HOME-PC" is available".
    My phone can connect to the wi-fi network and access the internet just fine, and syncs via cable no problem. Home Sharing is on and my phone can access the iTunes library. It appears that iTunes can see my iPhone on the network, but just can't connect to it. It doesn't matter whether the phone is connected to power or not. I did have wi-fi sync working in the past so something must have broken it, I'm just not sure what or when.
    I have searched here and elsewhere on the internet and found a lot of people with similar issues, but none of the posted solutions have worked. Steps I have already tried:
    Restarted iTunes/PC/iPhone/router in various sequences.
    Unchecked/checked "Sync with this phone over wi-fi" setting.
    Stopped/restarted Bonjour and AppleMobileDevice services.
    Full uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and all Apple software with registry clean.
    Reinstalled Bonjour services.
    Assigned static IP addresses to iPhone and PC.
    Disable/enable IPv6 on my network adapter and router.
    Checked Windows firewall settings, disabled Windows firewall.
    Checked all of my router settings...I was using DD-WRT firmware, reverted back to factory Netgear firmware.
    Backed up the iPhone, erased all settings and content, set up as new iPhone then restored from backup.
    Any ideas? Something really simple I missed? Please HELP!

    I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
    iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
    It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
    Sorry I cannot be of any help.

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.

    1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

    How do I get music onto my iPhone without having to download it from the Cloud? My iPhone gives the error "sync will resume when "computer" is available" on the final step of synching. The computer says "waiting for changes to be applied" but the phone doesn't have the two little sync arrows anymore. Seems it will stay like that for hours if I don't cancel it. I've tried syncing the songs with the cord & without the cord; using only purchased music or only a few songs. I've restarted both devices & both are updated with the latest software. My phone says it hasn't synced in 5 months, even though I've tried. WiFi is working. I've tried checking and unchecking the box in iTunes. I've turned Windows Firewall on/off. Ran the diagnostics in iTunes. Nothing seems to work. Help!

    Hello Megurine Lockhart,
    I would recommend re syncing the music to the phone from iTunes by unchecking the sync music checkbox in iTunes, sync, then re check it and sync again.
    For reference this is what I mean:
    Syncing music
    Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
    Select your your iPod in the Devices section on the left side of the iTunes window.
    In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
    Select the option to Sync Music. You may also select "Include Music videos" if you would like to sync Music videos to a device.
