Wifi Sync button not showing up on iPhone 5

So. New iPhone 5, everything updated, and Wifi Sync works just fine. However, no matter what I do, the message under general>itunes wifi sync never changes from "To enable Wi-Fi syncing with iTunes, connect to iTunes on your computer using a cable and click 'Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi". I have no button within that menu, greyed out or otherwise, and no ability to push a sync from the iPhone. Anyone else having this issue/solved it? This is the third iPhone I've had in the last week, with two replacements already. I'd love to have a fully functional phone. Thank you!

Are you syncing music to the iPhone automatically or manually? Do you see an error message when syncing the music to the iPhone?
Take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Syncing with iTunes
Just connect the iPhone to to the MacBook Pro, open iTunes, click the iPhone icon in iTunes, click the Music tab, and check sync music.

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".

IPhone WiFi sync - apps not showing in "Home Screen".

Folks
When I sync my iPhone to iTunes over WiFi the app icons do not all appear. Some are lost or some are just displaying a 'A".
Any advice here on why this might be and what I can do to fix it?
With thanks!

Photosmart C310: WiFi connected, but not showing up in network via Mac or iPhone

I am using a HP Photosmart Premium C310. It is connected to WiFi, but does not show up on Mac or iPhone via Wifi:
- iPhone Airprint does not find the printer (select printer)
- Mac "add printer" does not find the printer
- newest HP Setup Application (HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.13.14, Dec 2011) finds printer only as long as connected via USB, reconfigures WiFi settings, but can not re-find the printer when USB cable is taken off
- I can send "ping" to the printer using the IP address shown in touchscreen info panel so it is online in WiFi
- I tried to reset factory settings for settings + network settings, no change...
Is that a defect or any idea how to fix the problem?
Best regards, any help appreciated...

Hi,
Per your description, i believe the issue may being caused by your router compatibility with Apple Bonjour, which require multicasting support in order to operate propertly.
In order to verify, try to temporary create an ad hoc connection between your iPhone and the printer and check for any change:
Step One : Restore the network defaults on the HP All-in-One
On the product control panel, touch the Setup icon ( ). The Setup menu displays.
Touch Wireless .
Touch and then slide your finger down on the display to select Restore Network Defaults .
When asked 'Are you sure? ' touch Yes .
After the network defaults restore, touch Wireless Connection , and then touch On .
The message 'Wireless Radio is now on ' should briefly display on the control panel and the Wireless light ( ) on the HP product should start to blink. The HP product is now openly broadcasting the ad hoc wireless network.
Step Two: Create an ad hoc wireless network connection between the HP All-in-One and the Apple device
On your Apple device, tap the Settings icon ( ).
Tap Wi-Fi .
Under Choose a network , find the name that starts with HPC310 , and then tap it. A checkmark should display to the left of the name.
Wait three minutes to make sure that the ad hoc connection is established and try printing from the iPhone by taping the Action icon ( ) and then tapping Print.
If you were able to print through the direct printer, it means the router more likely cause the problems..
Please clarify your router brand, model and the router firmware version if available.
Regards,
Shlomi

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Thank you. This solved my problem too.
But, one little thing to share:
"There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
They called me back this morning at 10 am.
It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle. My problem is now fixed;
all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
Again, thank you.

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
I have the BIG DOG 16 gig iPhone and I am only limitted to 9 pages of APPS.
For what I PAID for this GREAT Phone, there should be NO LIMIT as to how many APPS. that I can download until and UNLESS my memory is FULL, which it is NOT even half full yet.
APPLE: Please change this LIMITATION, because there seems to be thousands of APPS. to choose from. Just as you have NO-LIMIT on the number of songs that I can download, I would like it to be the SAME for my APPS.
Thank you.

This ***** badly

Why isn't the edit button not showing in my ESX24 sampler?

why isn't the edit button not showing in my ESX24 sampler?

Is that during installation when you see the two icons.. the one on the left looking like a Garageband guitar icon, the one on the right like the Logic Pro platimum record icon?
Yes.. that one.. with the choice to click on which option you want/are coming from...
p.s. I'll probably aquire a Mac Mini this fall then upgrade.... I mean repurchase!
I think I managed to grab one of the last of the 2011 refurb'ed MMS's.... at that super low price Apple were selling them for... before they bumped it up and now, they seem to have none left at all at any price
However, just in case, I have found this site really useful at keeping track of Apple's refurb stock... and pricing

You're going to have to do much better as far as describing the problem. A screenshot would be a good start.

I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.
