Wi-Fi Sync with Windows 7 PC doesn't work

I have both an iPhone 5s and iPad-3. I use iTunes (latest version) in a Windows 7 PC. No problems to sync with the USB cable, but Wi-Fi sync is totally unreliable. I have spend lots of time reading all the information available online. Wi-Fi sync is configured right. It is not a problem with either Antivirus software or the Firewall (I have tried disabling both). I re-installed iTunes following the Apple support note on the subject. On one time after I reinstalled, Wi-Fi worked, but only for the first sync. When I turn on Wi-Fi in the iPad and iPhone, the iDevice always appear in iTunes but for a short while and it then dissapears. It is clear that they have some problem during the communication but neither iTunes nor the iDevice report any kind of error I could use to try to fix the problem.
It is really frustrating, and I work in IT ... From what I have seen online, I am not alone with this problem. I have several iphone/iPad apps that do Wi-Fi syncs with applications in the Desktop, and they work every time. I don't undertand why Apple can not implement a reliable Wi-Fi sync with iTunes. I don't think it is to sell more Apple computers/laptops since there are many with those that have the same kind of problem. Could it be to sell more USB cables ?.

WiFi Sync with iOS 5 doesn't work with Airport Express used as a wifi extender?

So in our apartment we have an Airport base station that doesn't reach all the way to the bedrooms, so we use an Airport Express as a wifi extender/repeater. The Wifi sync doesn't work when connected to the Airport Express. My iPhone and iTunes can't find each other. But if I'm sitting next to the base station it works just fine. Is there a workaround for this to get wifi sync working in my bedroom? I've updated both Airports to the latest firmware versions.
Thanks

Well, never mind. It magically started working.

Sync with two computers doesn't work anymore?

Hi there
I used to sync with my iPOD with both computers that I use. Work and Home. that's because I mostly buy music with this work computer cause it has MUCH faster connection than I have @ home.
About a week ago I purchased John Lennon songs. Before that I had to update to iTunes plus (7.0.3) so I did so. Then I though that I just sync with iPod so I can get those songs to home computer as well. This has worked to this day without any problems. It syncs only purchased music, videos and games but nothing else and that is fine for me.
This time it was different. When I connected my iPOD to my work computer it sayd that if I want to sync this iPOD with my work computer, it must be fully erased first. Well that's not a bad idea so I did it. Then I got home and updated my iTunes and tried to sync it with that too to get Lennon inside it but no... It said that I now how to erase my iPod in order to use it with my home computer. and transfer john Lennon songs into it. I was like what the ****... this was working fine before this new iTunes.
So. Am I now totally slaved to use only one computer with iPOD?
If this is a standard way to do it today, then I just have to use 3rd party software to do it or just burn them to CD... But this is not why I get this device... I wanted this to be easy as ****.. Not a prison.

You cannot "sync" with multiple computers, you need to use the iPod manually.
See this.
How to use an iPod with more than one computer.
Or are you trying to transfer iTunes purchases from iPod to iTunes?
You do this by using the file/transfer purchases menu in iTunes, but I think you'll still need the iPod set to manual.

Syncing with Google Contacts doesn't work anymore

Hey everyone,
my iPhone 3g recently stopped syncing with Google Contacts (I can't exactly say since when, but approximately since one week). Before, it worked perfectly fine for the roundabout 2 months i have my iPhone now. iTunes is up to date, as is my iPhone software. Also, i didn't change my Google Password or anything. iTunes also - while syncing my iPhone - tells me for a few seconds it's syncing, but nothing seems to happen. What shall i do?
David

This probably means that you are using iWeb 08 or iWeb 2 and you are correct that this will not run on the latest software, however iWeb 09 or 3 will, so if you want it to work, you will have to purchase iWeb 09, contained in either iLife 11 or iLife 09 via Amazon.
No, of course you won't find iWeb for sale in the App store because as this thread has been telling you, both it and MobileMe have not existed for at least that last 2 years and Apple withdrew support for iWeb sometime ago along with MobileMe, which has now become iCloud.
If you want iWeb 09, you will have to purchase it from Amazon - this is the only way that you can get it, but now might be a good time to move on and use some software that is both sold and supported such as EverWeb. Take a look at it. It is designed to be like iWeb but you can do a lot more.

Hi
As far as I know the Tecra M5 was delivered either with the Intel or nVidia graphic card.
On the notebooks with nVidia graphic card you can set different option in the nVidia Desktop manager; for example Enable multiple desktops
You should find it in control panel.
Unfortunately, I dont know exactly where the settings are placed in the nVidia manager because this notebook was delivered only with WinXP but Im sure you will find it.
bye

Sync with Windows Address Book just hangs

I have iPod Touch 4g, iOS 4.1, iTunes 10.0.1.22, Windows XP (up to date). I sync'd my Windows Address Book to the Touch without issue, I made some updates on the Touch, and now when I try to sync, it just hangs at trying to sync the contacts. No errors, it just indicates that it is syncing. iTunes doesn't actually hang, I can cancel the sync, and I can still sync songs, and it still backs up fine as first sync step.

As far as I am aware, "identities" is an Outlook Express concept that was dropped by Microsoft some time ago in favour of separate User Accounts along with Windows Address Book being replaced by Windows Contacts. I am also not 100% sure that iTunes will sync with Windows Address book. Do you see it on the drop down menu in the Sync Contacts tab?
If you do and if iTunes will sync with Windows Address Book you should only see the contacts associated with the identity you are using and shared contacts. If iTunes then syncs, it should sync with the identity you are using at the time of the sync.

Help BB Q10 - syncing with windows 7 contacts

I've just bought a BB Q10 (for me) AND a BB Z10 (for she who must e obeyed) Both are set up to sync via BB link (1.1.1.41) with windows 7 contacts on our respective laptops. The Z10 sync's without any problem BUT the Q10 will not sync and comes up with the error code of 2511 'error converting Unicode string to or from code page string'. A web search says this is a known fault and that a fix is on its way BUT this was dated March 2013. Does anyone know of a fix OR when the BB fix will be available?

Steve:
For my Z30...
I received the error code 5211 when attempting my first sync with BBLink and my Z30. My data file included about 1400 contacts so I took a stab at parsing the task. Rather than trying to synch the entire contact list I broke the task down to blocks of 117 and completed the task over multiple syncs. I also suspected a mapping error so in conjunction with the "sync-in-nibbles" technique I also remapped some questionable fields that I thought may be confusing the process. I don't know if both or just one of these was the remedy but I did get the sync completed and subsequent syncs have been trouble free.
A caveate to the above....which may or may not apply to your situation.
BBLink would not recognize Outlook, ie, Outlook was not offered as a sync option via BBlink. I was offered only Windows Contacts as a sync option and this folder is typically empty. So, to skirt this problem I exported my Outlook Contacts as CSV to an intermediate folder. I then imported the CSV file into Windows Contacts which, during the import, converted the CSV file into 1400 individual x.contact records. I then used BBLink to sync my Z30 with the Windows Contact folder and transferred all contacts to the Z30 without a hitch. To verify that contacts modified on the Z30 would update in Outlook, I performed another sync with Windows Contacts. I verified that the changes did xfer and new contacts were added to Win Contacts as expected. Next, I exported the Windows Contact files to a new Folder as a CSV file. I then used Outlook to import the CSV file and I verified that the edits made on the Z30 did appear in Outlook. Sync Complete! Whew! Its really not that bad to perform once I had a process tuned.
I purge the Windows Contact folder before importing each new CSV file. Actually, I simply move thm to a purgatory folder until I am sure I no longer need them then I purge.
Windows Contacts is available with Vista and Win 7.
For all you folks who have Win 7 or Vista and can't sync with Outlook, try the above process using Windows Contacts. Hope it eases the pain.

i have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing wht to do???

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Tungsten t3 will not sync with Windows 7 64 bit using cradle sync

Tungsten t3 will not sync with Windows 7 64 bit using cradle sync any suggestions?

Try a low-tech solution. Check the condition of the HotSync port connection on both the T3 and the cradle.
Look for any possible corrosion, coating, or bent fingers in the cradle. Sometimes a good cleaning with either Contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol can work miracles! (Use a q-tip swabbed in it, do not pour it onto the PDA).

OneDrive Sync with Windows Explorer Folders

In Windows 10 Tech Preview, all of the OneDrive folders show up in Windows Explorer except one - Pictures. The Pictures folder is still showing up online in OneDrive but no longer syncs with Windows Explorer. How can I reset or otherwise get the online OneDrive

Hi Dollie,
I am wondering whether you want to upload multiple documents into SharePoint library once.
If yes, you can try to use Drag and drop feature in SharePoint 2013 to upload multiple documents into SharePoint library.
More information about Drag and drop feature, you can refer to:

TS1347 How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S?

How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S? I want to move my email contact information from Windows Mail to my iPhone 4S

You don't need Outlook to sync contacts. You do have Windows Contacts available which is a supported address book application for syncing contacts with the iPhone.
Windows Live Mail is not an email client. Windows Live Mail is an email account that can be accessed via webmail access using a browser or with an email client such as with Outlook or Windows Mail on a PC.
You can export your Windows Live Mail contacts from your Windows Live Mail online address book for import into the Windows Contacts address book application on your PC which is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone.

N8 Sync with Windows Live!!!

Hi All,
Any idea if N8 can be synced with Windows Live or not yet?? It really s***s that I am not able to sync with Windows live still after such a long time.
Is Nokia going to wake up ever??

One solution is to use Microsoft Outlook.
You can synchronize Windows Live Calendar with Outlook using Outlook Connector. You can get it here:

Ovi Can then sync the Outlook Calendar with your phone. This should serve your purpose.
