WiFi sync with iTunes? App data sync'ed?

Hi there,
Is there a way to wirelessly sync an iPhone with iTunes? Also, does syncing with iTunes sync program-specific data as well? Just want to make sure I don't loose data when / if I have a problem with the iPhone.
Justin

No, syncing with iTunes is via USB/dock cable only.
When you sync with iTunes, the 3rd party app data is backed up, along with many other things (but not the apps themselves, music, etc., since those are part of the iTunes Library).

Will not sync with iTunes, will not sync with iTunes

My disbaled husband has a new iPad, I set it up for him about a week ago by syncing with our iMac. This morning I tried to sync again and got a message that the sync application failed. What am I doing wrong or what should I be doing

Try this. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and reboot the iPad and try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. Then try to sync again.

TS1363 is it possible to restore files to an ipod, that had been deleted whilst trying to sync with ITunes - 1st time sync???...

Good evening, hopefully you can help a poor fellow in a big problem. Tried to sync - 1st time - ITunes on a new computer. Instead of syncing, it wiped all the music files off of my IPod Series 4. Too make matters a bit more complicated, the IPod has a defective power on/off button, that has dislodged itself and doesn't actually do anything. Please, tell me that I have not lost all my music, and that it can be restored. It has not backed up/saved to ITunes on this computer. Thanks in advance for your help in this most bloody annoying of situations...

So you did not copy your iTunes library from old computer to new computer?

Do yo u have the old computer with your iTunes on it?
Do you have a backup of that old computer?
Yoo can take the iPod into an Apple store and have them take a look at it.

My iphone crashed and lost all data. how do i upgrade the operating system then sync with itunes?

My iphone 3g crashed. My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes. how do i sync with itunes? should I upgrade operating system first? how to do that?

"My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes. "
Your calendar ond contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.
"how do i sync with itunes? "
You sync as you always have.
"should I upgrade operating system first? "
If you like.
"how to do that?"
Open itunes, cconnect iphone. Itunes should tell you if there is an update avilable or you can click Check for Updates.

Ipod touch won't sync with itunes, only iphoto after snow leopard update upgrade

Have just put snow leopard onto my mac book 4.1. Can't get my ipod touch 5.1.1 to sync with itunes. It syncs with iphoto every time, but no device comes up in itunes or in finder. I have the latest software updates on both mac & touch. Any ideas?

See the following. Do not forget the Additional Information paragraph.

The iPod will not show up in Finder.

When apple tv syncs with itunes the media disappears from the apple tv

evrytime i purchase something through the apple tv i can play it on my tv until it syncs with itunes. after the sync the media just transfers over to my computer. how can I leave the stuff I buy in apple tv stay in the apple tv. and all of those other purchases that transfered into itunes how can I get them back on the apple tv?

Someone above mentioned this, and the answer is to make sure you're either set in iTunes to sync ALL episodes of your shows, or if you're set for ALL UNWATCHED, as I was, mark the episodes that were transferred to iTunes "New", then re-sync. Poof, they will all be copied back to ATV, where they will remain until you have watched them, even with iTunes shut down. I wrestled with this problem for 24 hours before it occurred to me.

HT4539 Want to down load an app but says app requires ios4.3 update have sync with itunes and it says software is up to date. how do i proceed ?

Hi
I want to download an app but keep getting message box saying device needs update ios 4.3. have sync with itunes but this says the device has all the latest updates. Anyone know how to proceed?
Thank you

Hard to say since you provide no information.
You want to download an app to what device?
Which generation of that model?
Current software on the device?
Any info?

HT1386 I have a new Iphone 5. Have downloaded 6.0.1 am in the process of syncing with itunes and it is taking hours to sync. I do backup to the cloud. I synced my iphone4s to computer prior to plugging iphone 5 so the latest data would be on system.

I have a new iphone 5. Trying to sync with itunes on my computer. Prior to plugging in new phone i made sure my other phone had synced with computer so all data was current. My old iphone does sync with cloud. When i plug in my iphone 5 for syncing it gets to step 5 and continues on for eternity...it has never completed syncing. This has been over a hour. Any ideas...ps old phone 4s backed up to cloud also and syncs would only take a minute or 2.

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

HT4623 I've updated to IOS6 and now i couldn't open any apps and they're automatically close. And can't sync with itunes properly.. Help me!!

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Syncing with iTunes after iCloud Restore Syncs Unwanted Apps

After I had restored my iPhones using a recent iCloud backup, some of my content such as certain videos and music needed to be installed through syncing with iTunes. All of my apps were arranged and installed as they were before the resoration. I had iTunes set to not automatically begin to sync when I plug in any of my iOS devices, so I can review the device first and then begin the sync. Upon plugging in my iPhone, I checked the applications tab, and all of the apps were arranged the way they were when I would unlock my iPhone; everything seemed normal. It would appear that the content that had not been restored through the iCloud restore would simply be installed though syncing with iTunes. The second I hit sync, iTunes began to restore my iPhone with a very early sync, as many of the apps I had deleted some time ago were being installed onto my phone, and my of the applications added since that specific sync were removed. What can I do to just have iTunes act as it should when finishing the restoration on my phone and not default to a stubborn sync? I'm currently restoring my phone from another recent iCloud backup to have all of my apps and their settings restored to how they were less than 12 hours ago.

First make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes. Use the itunes menu to check for updates and install the latest version if needed.
Reboot your computer and rest your iphone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. No data will be lost doing this. It's like rebooting a computer.

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

Every time I sync with iTunes, certain apps copy over

Every time I plug my new iPhone 5s (7.01) into my MacBook to sync with iTunes 11.1, the Pages app starts to copy itself from iTunes to the iPhone. However, it's already installed on the iPhone. Upon every sync, it copies over again and again... this is a pain since it takes a long time to sync now because of this.
Actually, this was also happening with Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto and iMovie, but I totally removed these. Pages will be the next to go if I can't get this sorted out.
I've been syncing iOS devices with iTunes for years and have never seen something like this before.
Any ideas? Thanks.

msteinny,
So i went to the apple store to meet with an apple genius to ask him why my phone's time kept moving up 1 hour everytime I synced my phone. Well he said that he's never seen this problem before, and after a trying a reset and restore he let me exchange my phone. The problem is that when I went to sync my new phone the problem still persisted. They told me it was probably something to do with my computer and its time zone settings.
So I get home and click on my computers clock in the bottom right hand corner to bring up the date and time properties and sure enought my time is correct, the date is correct and the time zone is correct (Eastern Daylight Time). So I look through the different tabs (Date & Time, Time Zone, Internet Time). The first thing I tried to do was to change where my computer syncs its internet time. It was originaly set on NIST time. I then switched it to Windows time, but this didn't do anything. My clock would still change when I synced to itunes. The next thing I tried was fideling around in the Time Zone tabs. I noticed that the box that says "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings" was unchecked, so I checked it and my computer's time jumped an hour ahead. So I left the box checked but moved my clock one hour back (to the correct time), clicked on apply and left it at that. I synced my iPhone and voila! The time didn't change! It stayed on the correct time! To to make a long story short, make sure that you computer's clock is set on "automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes, make sure your time zone is correct, and that the time is right when that box is checked. I hope this helps you. I'm glad I got a new phone out of the deal;)

What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.
