Wifi sync not working after ios6

I have upgraded all my devices to latest ios6 and now wifi sync does not work. I have 2 devices syncing to windows Xp laptop which are not syncing. I also have an additional iPad syncing to my iMac. None of them are working as of late. Tried rebooting everything and wifi sync is intermittent at best. Bottom line, seems like an ios6 problem, but not finding a lot of help. Any suggestions?

Ironically, updating to iOS 6.0.1, at least for now - seems to have made WiFi sync more reliable for me on my iPad 3, and my MacBook running OS X 10.7.4 and the latest version of iTunes.
if you have quit iTunes, rebooted your devices and restarted the computers and that didn't help, this is what I would suggest next ... And in no particular order.
Turn WiFi off on your iPad, restart it and then turn WiFi on again.
Try rebooting your router. Even though you may have Internet connectivity with all devices, rebooting the router might just work anyway.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, select the iPad under devices, click on the Summary Tab and uncheck Sync this iPad over WiFi. Click on Apply in the lower right corner. Sync your iPad. After the sync completes, go back to the Summary Tab. Click on Sync this iPad over WiFi. Click on Apply and wait for the changes to be applied. Quit iTunes and disconnect the iPad.
Restart your computer, launc iTunes again and see if it works now,

  • ITunes WiFi sync not working after Lion reinstall

    Hello all,
    Here is the situation. Wifi syncing was working superbly well for both my iPhone and my iPad. They could be upstairs while I was downstairs in my office and I would see them both in iTunes and could sync them at will. Great stuff!
    Until yesterday. I bought a new hard drive for my Macbook Pro, installed Lion on it and imported all of my apps and settings on it. Everythings works fine EXCEPT for wifi syncing. When I plug my devices to the USB cable I see them appear in the iTunes sidebar but I soon as I disconnect them, POOF! They're gone!
    The checkbox IS checked. I tried unchecking it, syncing via USB, rechecking it an resyncing to no avail. I just can't get the darned thing to work again!
    Both devices and the laptop have been restarted multiple times.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Can't believe it was so simple.
    I just restarted my Mac and everything came back to normal.
    Ok then sorry for the disturbance, move along, nothing to see here.

  • 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):

    I hope someone came across a similar issue and has some light to shed on the matter.
    This has been ongoing since Mavericks came out.

  • Itunes Wi-Fi Sync not working on Ios6

    Itunes Wi-Fi Sync not working on Ios6. It was working with Ios 5.

    OK OK OK
    I tried all of the above ideas
    none worked for me!
    I had already re booted, but I rebooted again, the phone, router, comp (iMac)
    I changed the name of my phone, I had a lot of hope riding on that idea, it sounded good, but (sigh) no go!
    finally I got it working
    this is what I did, I hope it works for you (at least on a Mac)
    open
    system preferences - Sharing
    I clicked on internet sharing, but did not 'tick' the box (mine was off & is still is off now)
    I 'ticked' the Wi-Fi tick box
    and got out of preferences (i did not 'tick' the internet sharing box, dunno if that is importiant, just what i did)
    my iphone 5 popped up in iTunes over Wi-Fi in like 5 seconds and has stayed there since i did a wifi sync
    happy days

  • Myi iphone4  microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

    Myi iphone4  microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

    Did you try another restore and this time not to restore from a backup and see if that makes a difference? This is what Apple would tell you to do next based on my iphone 5 fiasco.
    Make sure all your data is available on your computer for manual syncing later.
    Since you did the hard reset I assume that means your home button isn't broken only that it got frozen before. Were you able to get the Apple logo after the reset? Did it boot?
    And you are using iTunes 10.7?
    I'm just trying to help get you going.

  • Wifi Sync not working on iOS 6 and iTunes 10.7 with iPhone 4S

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit but WiFi Sync is not working on either my iPhone 4S or my wife's iPhone 4S.  Worked fine before upgrading.  All settings look correct in iTunes 10.7 and on our iPhones 4S's.  Already tried uninstalling iTunes and all associated Apple programs (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, etc) and reinstalling iTunes but no help.  Temporarily disabling Norton Firewall did not help.  If I hook up either of our two 4S phones via USB wire, they Sync and Backup fine.  Just WiFi Sync not working.  Can't initiate sync from iPhones because button is ghosted stating it is waiting for PC to be present.  Phones don't show up under Devices in iTunes unless hard-wired via USB cable.  Any suggestions?

    I am getting sync issues too (although on OSX) - seems like others are getting issues too:

  • IOS 5 wifi sync not working on iPad 2

    Just installed IOS 5 on my iPad but, its not working. Ive ticked the wifi sync option in itunes, plugged it into the wall, even unplugged and restarted my wifi,restore ios firmware and even reinstall itunes..Ive tried everthing and i just cant get it to work. When i try it just has the "Sync Now" option greyed out and says "Sync will resume when <computer name> is available. When I detach my cable during the syncing iTunes just can't detect my iDevice...Help SOS..

    I have the same issue, and it seems to be fairly common. I don't think they have all the bugs worked out of WiFi sync yet. After reading on another forum, try the steps below, they work for me but usually only once. I then have to do it again to get another sync.
    1. Turn off the iPad, close iTunes on your computer.
    2. Restart iTunes, then turn your iPad on and try the sync again.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up

  • Wifi syncing not working since upgrading to iOS 6

    Has anyone had an issue with and found a solution to wifi syncing after upgrading to iOS 6?  I have not been able to get either my iPhone 4 or 3d gen iPad to sync since upgrading last week.  I have the latest version of iTunes. I've tried disabling wifi syncing and the closing/restarting iTunes.  I've tried turning my iMac's wifi off and on.  The devices show, but will not automatically wifi sync. 
    Thanks in advance!

    I have a variation on that problem.  I upgraded my iPhone 4s and my new iPad to iOS6.  No problems synching the new iPad to iTunes wirelessly.  My iPhone will not sync wirelessly unless I turn it off, then on again.  However, if the phone goes out of wireless range, then returns, it will no longer sync wirelessly to iTunes.  Otherwise, the wireless connection appears to be working, e.g., I can connect to the internet.
