Wifi Sync and MacPro Systems

Wifi sync sounds like a great feature, but my question is, will it work with my mac pro that doesn't have a built in wifi card? Will the new devices and iOS 5 be able to use my homes wifi network to get files to my mac pro?
thoughts?

Are you running Lion on the Mini?
If so, perhaps try having "Wake for network access" selected, as per the following document:

How do I turn off wifi syncing and go back to the cable sync in iTunes?

How do I turn off wifi syncing and go back to the cable sync in iTunes?

Select the device in iTunes and uncheck WiFi syncing on the Summary pane of it's sync settings.

Recently i uncheck the box i tune wifi sync and tried to connect my usb cable to my macbook, now i tune cant detect my i phone at all!! Pls help as i cant sync my i phone anymore!

Recently i unchecked the box i tune wifi sync and try to connect my i phone using the usb cable provided. Now my macbook cant detect my phone, help!! I cant sync my phone anymore....

The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

Whats the difference between wifi sync and icloud?

Good afternoon...am a little confused about syncing over wifi with itunes and wirelessly with icloud. Right now the computer I sync my devices with is an older macbook that can't be updated to Lion. I am confused though by wifi sync ability...does my macbook have to be up and running while my ios devices are powered to sync or will the devices sync anywhere to the icloud? Since my macbook can't update to Lion will I still be able to take advantage of this icloud goodness? My macbook is not my main computer but it has all of my itunes content and playlists. Hope this made sense.

My first question is this: Have your devices all been updated to iOS 5? Assuming they were running 4, then updated to 5, all your data should be on the device. From here, if you were to sync everything to the cloud, all your data will be in the cloud. It will take all the info from your devices and sync it to the cloud. However, make sure on each device you choose what you want to sync, because it will pretty much make everything the same accross all your devices. Obviously your classic isn't going to be included, so you will still need to sync that, but with the phone and the ipad, you will need to decide what you want to sync between the two. I don't own two separate devices, so I don't know exactly what the conduct between the two is, but be carefull when syncing them to the cloud.

Wifi Sync and Windows8

Hello everyone,
I've been having a problem with iTunes wifi sync feature. It hasn't been working since iTunes 11 was released and my devices upgraded to iOS 6.0+. The only time iTunes recognizes my iPhone or iPad 2 is when they're directly connected to my desktop. Is there any way to fix this? Could this be related to iTunes running on a Windows 8 machine? I've read through multiple posts about people having problems with this, so I'd appreciate any help in fixing this!

Wifi Sync and mac sleep

My 2011 Mac Mini is usually asleep. Will wifi sync wake it up and then shut it down after? I am using a time capsule for the router and the mini is wired. Would it work any different if the mini was on wifi?

Mountain Lion - iTunes WiFi Sync and Remote Stopped Working

OS X Mountain Lion 10.8
iTunes stops connecting wirelessly to both my iPad and iPhone with no settings changed on any of the three devices. Only change made in the last 2 hours was enabling of Photo Stream on the iPhone and iPad. Other than this, I have fiddled with no settings on my computer or on the iPad or iPhone.
- Home Sharing is ON and active. WiFi is working on all three devices and all are able to access the internet.
- All devices on the same network.
- WiFi sync is enabled on both devices in the iTunes settings, but both disappear upon being unplugged
- Remote is unable to find to my iTunes library on either device, and I am unable to access Home Sharing from the Music app on either device.
- No firewall settings have been modified at any given time.
Why is this happening? I have turned Photo Stream off on both devices since this stopped working, but it's made no difference. What has caused it to stop? This is so annoying...

I saw a tip elsewhere to go into Keychain Access and clean out any saved passwords that relate, even preipherally, to the Exchange account in question. I did that, and now it seems to sync all calendar events. This may be a coincidence, or it may not. You decide

What exactly it the difference between iTunes Wifi-Sync and iCloud Backup?

Okay, i do not yet have a mac, only an iPod touch, but am (hopefully) buying a mac soon (MacBook Pro to be specific). I buy all my music etc on my iPod, and am currently use iCloud sync which i have all the buttons in the ON position. Anyway, i am rather confused after reading alot about the two methods of syncing there exact differences. When i get my mac can i use both- for reasurance or do i have to choose one? Also, does iTunes wifi sync my photos and videos (thats photos ive taken and videos ive made/filmed) and does iCloud do this. Also if i use both photostream and iCloud/iTunes for my photos, will that create double ups of all my photos?
Thanks

Wi-Fi sync works in the same way as syncing over a USB cable, albeit more slowly, and can be used when your iTunes library can see your device on your local network.
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
iCloud backup saves the settings and documents from your apps to the cloud instead of your own computer. It seems you either backup to your computer or to iCloud, but not both, at least not on a regular basis. You may still be able to trigger a local backup manually when using iCloud for backup.
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
Photostream operates independently of either of the previous features to move your pictures to your computer and other iOS devices when in range of any working Wi-Fi connection.

Will disabling wifi cut power to the wifi card and antenna system?

I have searched the web and even called Apple to have this question answered, nothing found online and apple support kept changing their answer. I would like to keep using the AirPort extreme with ethernet but disable the wifi. I know that turning off wifi on a Mac will cut the power to the AirPort card and stop it from emitting any kind of signal (at least this is what I have been told many times). I am wondering if this goes for the AirPort Extreme as well.
I do not have any kind of equipment to measure signal emissions so I just went off of power readings. I do not have the exact readings here with me at the moment but with wifi on and disabled the extreme uses the exact same mount of power. I know this is hardly accurate but it's all I could do
Does anyone have more detailed/technical information or the equipment to test and verify if the radio is actually disabled when wifi is turned off in AriPort Utility? Apple support told me that when wifi is disabled it will continue to broadcast a signal with the same strength, just not one that can be picked up (no name etc), that it would only stop if the power was cut completely. Then I was told, as soon as wifi is disabled there is only a very weak scattered signal left and then I was told there was no signal at all. (Amazing what kind of answers you can get if you just epeat the same question several times).
Any help appreciated.

Although I do not have a spectrum analyser.. I do have an excellent ubiquiti router which will produce a spectrum which is somewhat useful at least at 2.4ghz.
I have reduced the wireless routers around me to absolute min.
And I can only do this on 2.4ghz..
So this shows a dlink from a neighbour and the TC sitting near the ubiquiti.
Then I can do a spectrum analysis.
This is with wireless on. You can see the waterfall display of plenty of signal in the channel 6 area.
Now a spectral analysis with wireless off.
You can clearly see there is now no signal at channel 6.. so wireless off has turned off the RF on the TC.
Hope that helps.

How can I delete my old Laptop from my iPhone (iTunes Wifi Sync) and connect it to my new Laptop

HI;
I have an iPhone 4S Factory Unlocked, up to date (iOS 6.0.1). I connect it to my Laptop named "The Love" via USB and opend iTunes and checked Sync over Wifi to enable this feature. Everything works great.
After a couple months I sold my Laptop and bought a new Laptop named "Raid", I did the smae steeps, connect it to my new Laptop via USB and opend iTunes and I checked Syn over Wifi to enable this feature and hit Apply, also I did the sync via USB cable and it works fine.
Now I want to sync via wifi, so I went to General --> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync --> here my iPhone still showing "Sync will resume when "The Love-PC" is available", Okay I sold it!! What I will do! I stock! does this mean I will need to find my old Laptop and buy it back????!!!!
I tried to do those steeps over and over, same result, my iPhone stock with the my old Laptop, It seems my iPhone liked my "The Love" Laptop
My question is:
How do I delete this setting? and connect it to my new Laptop?
All the best;

Well " even if I plugged it via usb" I meant that I did all the spteps, connect my iPhone via USB, Open iTunes, Check on Sync this device via WiFi, click on Sync, Unplug the iPhone.
Again I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE USB OR SYNC MY IPHONE THROUGH ITUNES VIA USB
I HAVE AN ISSUE TO SYNC MY IPHONE VIA WIFI (WIRELESSLY), THAT IS MEAN SYNC MY IPHONE WITH ITUNES WITHOUT USING USB CABLE.

Wifi Syncing and Backing up

I just purchased an iPad Air 2 and the age old problem turns up here too......... It doesn't connect via wifi unless i turn it off and restart it or shut down iTunes and restart it. WHY???? This continually happens. Then, once connected and a successful sync should I have to go back and do something else, I get the "looking for iPad/iPhone" messages and then it eventually stops and boots one or both.......... This is maddening. Should not have to go continually thru this.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

You are downloading the update to iOS 5 and that would have to be done within iTunes on your computer using a WiFi network. The 3G service on the iPad is not being used for this or are you downloading some way that I've never heard of?
There is no way that it should take 18 hours so something has gone wrong. What stage are you stuck at? What does the iTunes progress bar indicate?

To Apple engineers: Home sharing and wifi sync not working after fresh install

Have been using wifi sync and home sharing on my Macbook 5,1 since its early debut.
Since Macbook 5,1 is old i am using it to stream MP4 files to my Apple TV.
The functionality has been working fine throughout the OSX iterations; then came Mavericks.
Now my iTunes library will not sync with Apple TV3, nor will my iPhone 5/iPad 3 wirelessly sync with my iTunes library.
For some reason since upgrading to Mavericks the thing wont work under normal boot.
Restarting in Safe mode solves the problem. Assuming it was some erroneous configuration i went through troubleshooting steps to try and resolve it.
First i uninstalled any third party apps.
Then i repaired, went through Maintenance and Cleaning of the system using Onyx
Then i tried manually removing third party boot kexts from the System Library and user Library
Then i tried reinstalling OSX via the recovery partition (cmd+r on boot time)
Finally i tried a full system erase and reinstall via an external bootable Mavericks USB.
After all these steps the problem persists.
There should be no hardware failure since it works fine in Safe mode and doing a clean install verifies that there are no third party conflicts with the system since iTunes was executed immediately after booting up for the first time.
This raises the concern that there seems to be some sort of system kext misconfiguration by the Apple engineers.
When executing iTunes the following errors are being displayed in the system log (via Console):

IPhone 4s able to wifi sync but not able to with iPhone 4 and iPad 1

I have searched numerous threads but cannot appear to find a mac based solution to my problem.
I recently had to dig out my old macbook pro 3,1 as my new macbook suffered unfortunate unrepairable damage. It is running os 10.7.4
My wife's iPhone 4s is able to wifi sync with it but my iphone 4 (running most recent software ) and my iPad 1 are not seen by wifi.
I have the option to enable wifi syncing ticked. My base station is a dual band time capsule running the most recent software 7.6.1, there is also an apple tv on the network.
IF I attach the iphone 4 or the Ipad by USB they will sync but when I remove them they immediately disappear from the side bar. If I attempt to go to settings general, wifi sync and manually select to sync I receive the message that sync will start once computer becomes available. They are all on the same network
I have restored both the iphone 4 and ipad, reseted network settings on the iphone and ipad, reseted the time capsule settings and deleted itunes and re installed it. All to no avail.
Any proposed solutions I have found via google are for windows based systems, any advice would be appreciated.

I am having this exact same issue. None of my wifi syncing devices had backed up in several days. The only way to get it to backup is right click on the device and actively select "backup".

ITunes Wifi Sync issue

Hi,
I canceled a wifi sync session (pressing the x in the area in which iTunes shows what it is currently syncing to/from my iPhone) and ever since doing so my iPhone is no longer recognised in iTunes.
It doesn't show up on the device list.
Things i tried:
1.     Quit iTunes (Finder > iTunes > Quit iTunes)
2.     Restart computer
          --> also restarted the iPhone before trying again
3.     plugging in the USB cable.
4.     Go to Preferences --> Devices --> option "prevent iPod, iPhone, iPad to sync automatically" isn't checked.
          --> Makes sense, since my iPad is connected and syncing properly. Double checked it anyway.
5.     Searched on Google: not finding anything useful. searched on words like: osx + itunes + wifi sync + not showing
System spec's:
iMac 27" 3,4 GHZ i7, 16GB ddr3, SSD. OSX Lion 10.7.2 installed. iTunes 10.5.2 (11) installed. Latest updates installed, completely updated.
How do i fix this issue ?

You may want to try uninstalling the security software or following along with Apple's article.

WiFi sync problem

Syncing over WiFi was eagerly awaited, but in the YEARS since its introduction, it has NEVER worked satisfactorily for me, or for ANYONE else I know that tries to use it. I have maybe half a dozen iOS devices that need to be synced, although fortunately, automatic updating means this is not required as often as it once was because it's appallingly flakey.
All my devices have been set to use WiFi sync and (usually) appear in the iTunes sidebar under 'Devices'. I click one and see the 'overview' screen on the RHS, but when I then click to see the apps on that device, I just get a message saying "Looking for xxxxx", then after about a minute it goes away and the device vanishes from iTunes. Sometimes I can get further and actually make some changes, but then the above happens when I try to 'Apply' the changes. Even more rarely (like almost NEVER) it will actually succeed.
These things occur to me:-
WiFi (wireless ethernet) has been around a LONG time now and is well understood by almost everyone that elects to use it in their products - except Apple. How can such a basic function be so badly implemented by Apple. How hard can it be to make iTunes and iOS stay connected? I have an ethernet network around the house and WiFi base Stations (Apple Airports) and all devices seem to be able to use it and stay connected as required - except between iTunes and iOS. Heck, those exact same iOS devices and the Mac on which iTunes is running ALL remain PERFECTLY connected to the network even while iTunes is failing at this most basic level.
I realise however there can be technical difficulties with technology like this and it can take time to get it working perfectly, but how long do they need? It's been YEARS since WiFi sync was introduced, so why does it still NOT work.
This is I admit a bit of a rant, but it's undeniably irritating that such a useful function, promoted by Apple as one of the great features of iOS is still utterly ***** (insert expletive of your choice). However, maybe others have it working perfectly, in which case I'd like to hear from them in case there is some way to solve the problem, but I doubt it as it doesn't work for anyone I know.
So, does ANYONE have WiFi sync working reliably? How many devices?
