WiFi Sync no longer works

I've had wifi sync succefully work on my iPhone 4 since iOS 5 was first released but it recently stopped working. I didn't notice at first because I rarely use it. I'm using a Windows 7 64 bit desktop. I'm not sure what the problem is I first tried disabling windows firewall but that did nothing, Then i tried reinstalling itunes with no results. I was wondering wether iTunes match may cause problems with it as i seem to remember it stopping near when I got match about a month ago. Any help would be apreciated as this is really annoying me.

Oh and I'm running itunes 11.1.4 and yea I have uninstalled it and reinstall too

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

  • Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems?

    Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers / docking station and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems? Both worked fine until the update...

    Okay. I got it working again by setting it up as a new phone instead of just syncing. Then I backed up. All is good today.

  • ITunes wifi sync doesn't work since moving Mac to a new Airport

    Hi,
    I recently moved my Mac mini which acts as an iTunes 'server' for all the other devices/computers that I have at home from being Ethernet connected to the airport base station in the middle of my network (the Time Capsule described below) to the Airport Extreme at the end of my network. Since moving this, all my devices continue to show in iTunes but if I try and initiate a wifi sync it spends 10 to 20 seconds trying to find the device and then fails (the device then shows "Sync will restart when mini becomes available" or similar). If I completely reboot all my airport base stations it seems to start working for a while. For info, I have tried disabling the Mac mini firewall but it has no impact. Sync works perfectly with a cable and used to work pretty well (but not 100% of the time) before I moved the Mac mini.
    Any help or ideas would be really appreciated, my network layout is described below:
    My network cosiest of a Sky TV broadband ADSL model & wifi router which provides internet and DHCP using 802.11b/g.
    Connected to that via a long Ethernet cable I have a latest gen. Airport Express in a different part of the house creating a 2.4Ghz 802.11n only network with 'Allow this network to be extended' checked.
    I then have a 1st gen. Time Capsule extending that network and an Airport Extreme (not the latest version)  which extends the network further. If I look at the iPad Airport Utility app I see this network as a long, straight line where each extends the previous.
    I have all the Apple Airport devices in 'Bridge mode' so that the Sky device is providing DHCP for the entire network.
    I have an old-ish Mac Mini (Intel single core) running a fully updated version of snow leopard (can't update to Lion on a single core)  with the latest version of iTunes. I have several iOS 5 devices (fully updated).
    Regards,
    Phillip.

    Just noticed a typo: I moved FROM plugged into the middle of the network to the END of the network and then plugged into that base stations ethernet.

  • ITunes Wifi sync has stopped working

    iTunes has stopped syncing over wifi with my iPhone 5S and iPad Mini. It's always been a bit flaky, but has recently stopped working completely. iTunes will not see the devices unless I either reboot them, or plug them in with the Thunderbolt cable, deselect and select "sync with this device over wifi" and apply. If I try to use wifi sync, iTunes gives me a "looking for device" message and then drops the connection.
    My set up is a Mac Pro running 10.10, hooked up to an Airport Express via Cat 6. Both iOS devices are on iOS 8.
    I have tried changing the IPV6 settings on both my machine and my Airport Express, resetting the network settings on both iOS devices, and flushing my machine's DNS cache.
    I see the following messages repeated in my system log:

  • Ford sync no longer works.

    After updating my iphone 5 to ios 6.1, it no longer works with my Ford Sync in my car. The phone does not play audio anymore while connected via USB. Audio doesnt play from any apps nor from the ipod through the car stereo. Same if I connect it via the bluetooth audio stream option. The only thing that still works is calling using the phone and that streams through the speakers fine. The software on my car is fully updated also.

    I forgot to add in that I already did that. I re-paired both profiles (usb and BT) to no avail. After doing that I also reset the Sync system and deleted all the data. This also did not work. It just says connecting now and doesnt go away.
    I also tried the "sync my itunes" app from syncmyride.com. That also did not work

  • IPhone/iTunes Wifi sync doesn't work

    Hi guys,
    I don't even have hope to solve this problem anymore but I guess I should post this anyway and show apple the crap software they're giving us.
    I'm on Lion 10.7.4 (iTunes 10.6.1) and, after upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1, my Wifi sync with iTunes stopped working. Out of nowhere. Looking for an answer I started digging on apple foruns and found out there are dozens of threads discussing the problem and literally hundreds of possible solutions. I've tried the following:
    - Restart iTunes and iPhone (full power cycle).
    - Check the "Sync over Wifi" option on iTunes when iPhone is connected using cable
    - Uncheck the "Block iPhone, iPod and iPad from automatically sync" on iTunes > preferences > devices.
    - Restart Router
    - Reinstalling iTunes
    - Restore iPhone
    - Move to trash "com.apple.iTunes" and "MobileDevices.framework" files. Restart Mac after.
    - Make Airport on Mac and iPhone forget the saved networks and reconfig them
    - Open ports on router 123 (all), 3689 (TCP) and 5353 (UDP)
    - Disable and enable uPnP on router
    - Install Remote app
    - Use "Release Liase" option on iPhone under Settings > General > Network > Wifi > Blue Arrow
    NONE solved it. I gave up. Apple *****.
    Interesting behaviours:
    - Remote app doesn't work at all. I can't use it under Home Sharing or that code thing. My phone and Mac simple can't see each other anymore.
    - iPhone conects fine using cable. Everything is working and, when I pull out the cable, iPhone vanish from the list. Even with the Wifi option enabled.
    So, if any of you can solve it, you will have a place in heaven. And in Apple developing team, probably.
    Thank you!

    Hi guys,
    As I suspected, none of the previous solutions worked. I strongly believe this is some crap in iOS 5.1.1 OR iTunes 10.6.1. More precisely: this is APPLE fault, not something we did wrong or didn't do.
    My Wifi sync worked great before this updates (Lion 10.7.2 and iOS 5.0). I can't isolate the problem because I did both updates in less than 24h from one another. Now I'm back to cable and I think I'll still be until Mountain Lion is out.
    @rodrigonewtonI sent apple my feedback. Basically everything I wrote here. And I can't connect bluetooth either. Luckily I barely use bluetooth on my Mac.
    @ou812ManySushi Lucky you! I'd already tried this without success. What is your iTunes and iOS?
    @joejohns90 Doesn't work here, the option is ALWAYS greyed, waiting for my Mac to do something. The only way the "sync over Wifi" button work is pluging the cable. Ironic, isn't it?
    Anyway, thanks for the feedbacks guys!

  • My wifi is no longer working in my home office

    I have had my desktop in my office for over a year, last week it stopped working. All other devices are working fine. I can move my desktop to other rooms in the house and wi-fi works fine, but when i plug it back in the office it no longer works. I can only conncect in that room via wifi and now I am stuck. My laptop connects to my wi-fi in the office. I am stumped.

    ...I don't know what that all means, but when I do it on my laptop I get a transmit rate of 104 and an MCS index of 13. Don't know if that means anything, all other values are the same from both computers
    The PHY Mode represents the radio mode that your iMac is connecting to the Wi-Fi network. In this case 802.11n.
    BSSID: This is the router's hardware ID. This lets you know which router your iMac is connected to.
    Channel: This is the radio and radio channel that your iMac is connected to. In this case, it is connected to channel 7 on the 2.4 GHz band. The only channels that do not interlap, in this band, are: 1, 6, or 11. With your iMac connecting to channel 7 leads me to believe that there may be some form of Wi-Fi interference in the area from this location to it to have to choose another channel.
    RSSI: This is a measure of how "strong" the Wi-Fi signal is as perceived by your iMac. The closer this value is to zero, the better.
    Transmit Rate: This is the current maximum connection rate that has been established between the iMac and the wireless router. It should be much higher than this.
    MCS Index: This is the encoding method used for the wireless connection. It also indicates how many streams are being used for the connection. Depending on the model of your iMac, it should be able to connect with up to three streams. Your wireless router would need to have the same capability for both to connect in this method. Basically the more streams the better. The value of 11 is telling me that it is only using two of those three streams ... and thus why the max transmit rate is so low.
    The only thing I can't tell you is why, at this location, your iMac is performing so poorly. Again the only thing I can think of is Wi-Fi interference.

  • IOS 7.1 update problem. Wifi disabled, no longer works. Disappointed with apple response

    I have several IOS devices and updated each of them to Apple's release of IOS 7.1.
    Unfortunately my iPhone 4s did not update successfully. It was affected by the widely reported issue regarding WiFi being disabled permanently. After the update to IOS 7.1, wifi is no longer an accessible option on the IPhone 4s.
    After doing some online research and identifying this as a common problem, I tried some of the suggestions available online such as resetting settings and restoring from backup. None of these suggestions worked.
    I brought the iPhone 4s to the apple store at the Rideau Center in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and spoke to one of the employees. He stated that it was not an apple issue and that it was a problem with my phone that would cost $200 to resolve. He said that it was not a problem related to the ios 7.1 update and that it was a "coincidence" that it happened at the same time as the update to ios 7. 1 and was probably an issue with the wifi chip.
    It is surprising to me that applying an update recommended by apple and using the iPhone 4s in the manner in which it was designed (using wifi) would cause this basic function (wifi) to cease to function.
    Wifi is an essential part of my day to day use of this device. I am appalled that apple is denying the problem and has no resolution for it.
    If anyone else this problem, please go to your nearest apple store and let this forum know your experience in getting the issue resolved.

    Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

  • Itunes wifi synce won't work on windows 7, why?

    I've tried everything to get itunes wifi synce to work on windows 7. But I don't seem to be getting it. It's not working.
    I'm running Ios 5.1.1 and the latest itunes 10.6.3. Any solution about getting itunes wifi synce to work.
    I'm open for any solution and will try al l of them.

    I've been dealing with this issue for quite sometime now, keep going back to the same suggestions over and over from here and other sources. The common thing I see here is having the bonjour services restarted to get things working correctly. Being on windows 7 64x I didn't have a problem before. Something changed though. Today I though of "hey what about running as admin" since it seems some programs require admin running status to work properly. So in Task Manager under the Processes, (have show processes from all users checked) Anything that has to do with iTunes/Apple/Mobile/etc. I right clicked> Properties>Compatibility>Run as Admin.
    So far this has solved my issue. Hope this helps others.

  • WiFi sync: iPad 3 works, iPhone 4 is not detected, both on iOS 5.1.1

    I recently realized that my iPhone isn't showing up in iTunes for wifi sync. I tried plugging it directly into my macbook, but that actually made it stop charging from my Mophie battery case and still didn't let the phone show in the devices panel (I'm using a USB wall wart to charge my phone from, my macbook can still charge my iPad 3 just fine. I've tried restarting them both, resetting the network settings, I can't figure out what the problem is nor how to fix it. I'm using an Airport Extreme base station as a wireless bridge to a wired router/modem combo. My iPad 3 works just fine over wifi, yet my iPhone 4, despite being on the same network and in the same room, isn't connected at all and the two devices (Macbook and iPhone) don't seem to be aware of each others existence.

    I have the EXACT same setup, router, iDevices, etc. Same problem. Shows up when I use the cable, disappears when I unplug it. I have gone through all the troubleshooting, and yes, the wifi sync setting is enabled in iTunes. Incredibly frustrating.

  • Itunes wifi sync does not work after upgrade to OS X Yosemite

    Hi,
    After upgrade to OS X Yosemite itunes wifi sync with my ipad and iphone stopped working. After attaching the iphone and ipad with a cable, I could sync, but as soon as the cable was removed, the ipad and iphone disappeared again from itunes. And wifi did still nok work.

    Apparently something is not being saved somewhere and this technique forces the save.  Below is a C&P from another poster describing the technique on a different thread.  It's been working for him for some fifteen hours.  I tried it and it's been working but it's been only ten minutes.  My gut feel is that quitting and relaunching iTunes are critical steps.
    With the device connected via cable, click on its icon
    Uncheck WiFi syncing
    Click Apply
    Quit iTunes
    Launch iTunes
    Check WiFi syncing
    Click Apply

  • ITunes 11.1.5 wifi sync does not work

    I have 10 wireless devices and an Apple Mac Mini with Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.5 and alll devices are running iOS 7.1.1.  I noticed the other day that none of my devices have backed-up since late March and none of my devies have connected through wifi.  I have attempted a shutdown, a stop process of the AppleMobileDeviceHelper and restart the iTunes and even did the stop process of AMDH shut-down/restart and then attempted the iTunes wifi sync to no avail.  Anyone have the same problems?
    Devices are Airport Extreme Base-station, Airport Extreme (Tower), and Airport Extreme TimeCapsule
    Mac Mini (Latest), two MacBook Air (Latest)
    Multiple iPhones from 5s, 5, and 4s
    2 iPad second gen
    2 iPad mini Retina

    In case there is any confusion, iTunes did WiFi sync to iOS devices for years.  It was rumored that Apple stopped it but only for a time.  However, iTunes always had a check box for selecting WiFi syncing for the selected device.  If you hook up the device by USB, select it on the left panel and go to the Summary tab, you will see a box "Sync with this iPhone over WiFi".  Some trouble shooters have suggested unchecking, clicking apply, quit iTunes, then restart and recheck.  In the past that would occasionally work for me.  Now it doesn't work at all.
    The really odd part.  Often when I quit and restart iTunes (maybe reboot the Mac), the iOS devices will indeed appear in the list (when not connected via USB).  However, selecting them simply brings up a progress indicator that disappears 30secs later and the device name disappears from the list.
    Apple, if you can hear us, please FIX THIS!

  • Wifi sync will not work since 5.0.1 update

    since i did the IOS 5.0.1 update, itunes now will not wifi sync on my mac.
    I've restored, ive reinstalled the IPSW manually...ive ticked and unticked sync in the options, ive deleted the backup file and set up as a new phone...
    ive ran out of ideas...
    PS, this seem to only be an issue with macOSx as wifi sync works on a PC with this restore...
    Theres no new software installed and seems to be a mac vs iphone issue as my other half also has the same issue now with the mac.
    Any ideas or is it a trip to the apple geeks?
    thanks in advance
    zesty2k

    Same problem here with iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
    Apple have just released iTunes 10.5.1 which I hoped was a fix but no.
    Wired sync still works fine on both devices.
    Ran iTunes diagnostics and the sync test caused iTunes to crash on several with both devices so there obviously seems to be a problem with the software.
