Why don't my iPhone and iPad sync wirelessly anymore?

I just started college and ever since I got here, my phone and iPad 4 have not been syncing with iTunes wirelessly and it drives me crazy. I have wifi here and they're all connected to the same network...what might be preventing this from working?

Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>On. Do that on both devices. Or Settings>Photos and Camera>Photo Stream>On.
Photo Stream will only work with new photos that you have taken with either device - after you turn it on. It will not stream photos that were on the device before you turned it on.
And of course, you must be connected to Wifi in order for it to work.

Using iCloud - why don't my iPhone and iPad calendar appointments match?

I use iPhone 5C and iPad Air.
I recently decided to ditch using Outlook 2010 Calendar on my PC (Windows 8) and switch to iCloud - a drastic decision after using Outlook for 15 years.
I created a new iCloud account and turned on Contacts and Calendar (I only want to sync these two functions) on both devices.
I also selected 'Sync events 6 months ago' on both devices.
With everything crossed, I expected to see the same calendar entries on both devices sync with each other, creating duplicate calendars, but this is not the case.
All calendar events for the last 6 months appear on my iPad but not on my iPhone (although some do).
Any suggestions what might have caused this and what the solution is?
I've been trying to resolve the issue for the last couple of days without any luck.
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Steve

Hi Steve
Thanks very much for your speedy response.
I have considered trying this. But when when I turn off Settings->iCloud->Calendar I get a message that says:
What would you like to do with the previously synced iCloud calendars on your iPhone? Keep on my iPhone. Delete from my iPhone. Cancel.
I cancelled the action as I don't know what option I should chose. If I select Delete from my iPhone, does this also delete them from the iCloud, which will in turn delete them from my iPad? Or do I select keep on my iPhone?
Thanks.

Good luck Friend.

After setting up iCloud for my iPhone and iPad, syncing the calendars to my desktop PC, via USB and iTunes, doesn't seem to work. What;'s going on?

Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.

HT4623 Iphone and ipad syncing issues

both my iphone and ipad stopped syncing with my computer (pc). The ipad never charged from my pc anyway but the iphone did. anyone else having this issue?

I fugured out that deleting from iPad does not delete from iPhone and whatever data is there is cloud will be retained for iPhone.

My iPhone and iPad syncs calendar, contacts, mail. But these are not synced with my MacBook pro. I'm using latest leopard. Why?

To solve the above question, do I need to upgrade to lion?

You should post this in the iPhone or iPad forums.

IPhone and iPad sync session in iTunes won't begin

The most recent time I have attempted to sync my iPhone 4S and my iPad2 in iTunes on my Mac, the following happens. iTunes recognizes the device, the little "turning arrow" appears and the sync window shows "Waiting to begin sync". This persists for 15-20 seconds and then I get the message that sync was not completed because sync session did not begin. This is true for both Wi-Fi and USB attempts. I have not had trouble previously with either device on my Mac. What's the deal?

Hello adambravo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Using ICloud, however having trouble in getting my IPhone and IPad sync with the Mac...suggestions please

using ICloud however having no luck in getting my IPhone nor IPad to sync with ICal.

What OS version do you have on the Mac? Click the Apple menu (upper left), then "About this Mac."

HT4910 Does both my iphone and ipad sync and so use only space for one on icloud, or does it needlessly copy everything twice? How do I archive photos and only carry latest to minimize icloud storage.

Trying to cut down on storage in icloud. How do I leave all but last two years of photos on pc and remove from icloud? Samsung i7 syncs docs, calendr & photos with ipad and iphone 5s. Do these replicate same photos, docs etc in icloud storage or do they sync and then store? My storage has doubled for some reason. I have cut back on what I backup, but numbers still huge. How do I manage what is in icloud? Would like to see what is actually stored. Thanks for any help.

Photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage, only camera roll photos do, which are included in your iCloud backup.
You can see some of what is using your storage by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage. The backup also includes text messages, so if you have lots of photos and videos in your messages this can drive up the size of your backup.
This article provides some suggestions on how to manage and reduce your storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

Having trouble with iphone and ipad syncing

Just got my iphone. Trying to get music on it. Only problem is that my daughter has an ipad that wants to sync all of her apps on to my iphone. the music is ok because its in a playlist. The apps try to sync even though I have checked it to not sync the apps. Dont know how to seperate the two different itunes. Also having trouble getting itunes to recognize my card number to purchase music.

Well, if "deleted the account" actually means simply removed using that account on the iPad, and if the account turns out to be an iCloud account, then you would have no problem.
Simply go to Settings > iCloud on your iPad and turn on Notes.
But you've given us so little information (e.g., was your account in iCloud? Dles "deleted" actually simply mean removed from iPad?) that it's hard to tell if this would actually solve your particular issue.

My iPhone and iPad synced fine to my computer this morning using iTunes 10. After uninstalling iTunes 10 in the recommended order (bit by bit in the order suggested by Apple) and installing the proper 64 bit iTunes 11, iTunes no longer recognizes either.

The cord works fine, as it synced fine this morning. The computer works fine, as I have other USB drivers that have no installation issues. I have no major firewalls or security software in place. Literally the only thing that has changed is my version of iTunes, which was installed perfectly.
This, by the way, is not an isolated incident. Every attempt I make to upgrade to iTunes 11 goes the same way, and the utter lack of a satisfactory response by every Apple tech support I've gone to has been frustrating enough to make me consider ditching my Apple products, exclusively supporting their competitors, and recommending that my friends and family do the same.

i hade just the same on my pc with windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.4. I could sync over Wi-Fi but not over USB.
i did the following: remove "iTunes", "apple software update", "apple mobile device support" and "apple application support". then download iTunes new and install it. After installation all removed software should be back again.
Try now iTunes - it solved the problem on my pc. greetings eddych

IPhone and iPad not wirelessly synching

I just downloaded the new I tunes and was having trouble getting into the iTunes store. I then noticed that neither my iphone4s or iPad 2 were showing up in the right side list. I checked to see when they were last synced and my iPhone was last done in march and my iPad in dec. now I charge my iPhone every other day and my iPad every few days so they should synch. Have it set up in iTunes correctly. Will I need to do the synch manually ? Does this have something to do with not being able to get into I tunes store on desktop? It just hangs

The right side list? Where is this area that you are talking about? My iDevices appear on the left side of the iTunes window when iTunes is running. I sync with WiFi.

What does charging either device have to do with syncing?

If iTunes just hangs, I think it can be safely assumed that you might not be able to sync.
Frankly I am just a bit confused by your explanation on what is going on with your devices and iTunes.

Can I sync my iphone and ipad differently on itunes?

Is there a way I can arrange to have my iphone and ipad sync with my single itunes separately? The thing is, there is music, movies, that I would like to have on both devices, but I want to keep iphone apps and ipad apps separate. In addition, I don't want to sync my music with ipad. Is there any way to isolate the two formats?

I would like to be able to do this also but, i'm not sure how to set my iPad to manually sync for one thing and also, when I connect my iPad to my new (recently purchased,first time,new to this) iMac it only gives me the option to either set up as 'new' or 'restore to my recent iPhone back up'. I just want them to be separate. How can I fix this please?

Can't trust this computer for iphone and ipad with Itunes

hi all
after updating to ios 7.1.1 on both my iphone 4s and ipad I keep getting this message when I connect my phone or ipad to my iMac
:iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission.
then this : Do you want to allow this computer to access information on “davidbarton’s iPad”?
If you don’t allow access, you will not be able to manage or sync your iPad with this computer.
I click trust on the device and then continue from within iTunes and I get this : iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission.
I have started getting this too after running disk utility and verify disk permissions, then running repair disk permissions
: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).
*** is going on please and how can i fix it, anyone?
thanks

Yes.
Anything you uncheck in iTunes remains the same with iTunes regardless which device you are syncing.
I make use of iTunes playlists for the music I want transferred to my iPhone. Under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences, I have selected playlists, artists, and genres chosen. I select the iTunes playlists and/or artists and genres that I want transferred to my iPhone. I also have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for my iPhone sync preferences. This way if I want to remove a song or songs from my iPhone without removing the songs from the playlist I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone, I can uncheck the song or songs in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. Or I can remove a song or songs from the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. To add additional music to my iPhone, I can add the music to one of the playlists in iTunes I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone followed by a sync.
You can have the same playlist or playlists transferred to both, or different playlists transferred to each, but whatever is deselected in iTunes will be reflected on both with sync only checked songs and video selected for your iPhone and iPad sync preferences.
