Windows 8 and iTunes Wireless Sync
I have two windows PC's, one with windows 8 and the other with windows 7.
They both do not have third party internet security installed, and both just rely on the windows firewall.
I've noticed that even after disabling the windows firewall and defender on windows 8, that my iPhone 4S is unable to wirelessly sync with iTunes.
The windows 7 computer doesn't seem to have this problem at all once the firewall is down.
That obviously eliminates problems with my router.
Does anyone know a work around for this problem on Windows 8?
Thanks
Suspect this has something to do with Windows 8 not supporting the WinSock API that bonjour uses.. see http://lists.apple.com/archives/bonjour-dev/2012/Jan/msg00022.html

ITunes wireless sync and Remote App not working in in unison.
I'm running iTunes on a Windows 8 machine, and I'm having issues getting both these above mentioned applications working together.
I did have some issues in the beginning with setting up wireless sync for my iPhone, but these were fixed by restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service that runs in the background.
The remote application seemed to have similar issues in the beginning, so I tried restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service - and this seemed to help, but then wireless sync faulted again.
After having a bit more of a read, I made sure UPnP was enabled across the board - in my PC and router, SSDP on my PC was changed to automatic mode, all bonjour services were confirmed running and there and I couldn't see any funky rules in my firewall that may be causing me issues.
I did find though, that both the remote app and the wireless sync functions operate on the same ports; TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353. I'd imagine if this would be a problem, it would have been picked up - but I can't find any solid info to disregard this thought. Can anyone confirm or deny that this could be an issue?
Any other ideas? Cheers.Welcome to the Apple Community. (5)

Re-installed Windows and iTunes due to system crash, iPhone won't sync now
My system recently crashed. Re-installed Windows and iTunes, all my old documents, songs, movies were all gone. But I now still have movies, songs and pictures that are on my iPhone 3G and would like to transfer them to my newly re-installed system, but iTunes won't allow me to do it. I will have to lose everything currently in my iPhone because I am trying to sync it to which is now recognised as another computer.
Is there any way I can get all my songs, movies, pictures transferred across to my new system?The sync process for iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone, and the same for photos transferred from your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone so even if you are able to transfer the photos from your iPhone back to your computer, the original resolution of the photos will be lost.
iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased or acquired from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased or acquired from the iTunes Store only.
First you need to re-authorized your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
After doing this when syncing iTunes content for the first time, your iPhone will likely be erased of all iTunes content first, but after you have transferred the content from your iPhone to your iTunes library, you can reselect it under the Music and Videos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Apple provides no option to transfer photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer. There may be a 3rd party utility that provides for this, but any such utility is not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of your important data stored on an external drive or some other media is so important, which should include your iTunes library and photos, along with all other data that is important to you. This is important regardless the platform, but even more so with a Windows PC due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. -
I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes. Can that be done? I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod. Help!
You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you. One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
Here is one such product.

I recently had my hard drive wiped out by a virus and had to reinstall windows and itunes. When I hooked up my ipod it did not transfer my songs from my ipod to my itunes library. How do I do this?
iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchsed from the iTunes Store).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. (Going forward, you should use a backup strategy, and include your iTunes data in what gets backed up. Then, you would be able to recover your complete iTunes library, including things like playlists and ratings.) -
Bonjour iTunes Wireless Sync Failure
Looking to see if anyone has experienced any iTunes Wireless Sync issues: Network setup as follows:
2504 Wireless Controller running 7.6.100.10 and three 1602 AP's set for LOCAL Mode running CAPWAP, and running a Guest WLAN and a User WLAN.
We use a wide variety of Mac products (iPad, Mac Mini, AppleTV, iPhones, MacBooks), and are now experiencing iTunes Wireless sync failures. I have mDNS enabled, mDNS is added to the WLAN's and the interfaces, multicast is tuned on, IGMP snooping enabled, multicast is enabled on the wired infrastructure....the weird thing is all the other Bonjour features are working. We can push desktops to the AppleTV, Stream Music, Print, share files, etc iTunes Wireless Sync is not working. I've been watching the mDNS browser and using the Bonjour Browser on my MacBook and I notice a two odd things:
1) I never see a a Layer 3 Multicast MGID Entry with the Apple Multicast Network (224.0.0.251) populate in the Multicats Window
2) I have the service enabled for ITunesWirelessDeviceSharing (_apple-mobdev._tcp.local.) in my mDNS profile but I never see any device use that sting. While watching the mDNS browser I do occasionally see the follwing: _apple-mobdev2._tcp.local. which is generated from the iPhone 5's. I copied the string and created a new service and added it to my mDNS profile but still no joy.
Any advice would be welcomed

Does turning off iCloud backup affect my photostream, contacts, and calendar wireless syncing?
I keep getting the announcement that my icloud storage is almost full, so I checked into managing my storage. If I turn off the "Storage and Backup" on the bottom, will that affect my contacts, calendars, reminders, and photostream wireless syncing? I don't want to pay to get more icloud storage.
No, that just means it will no longer backup your device to iCloud.
More than likely it's the amount of photos and videos in your camera roll taking up all that space, hence why your storage is almost full. You can manually backup these photos and videos to your computer and then turn off the backup for just the camera roll (you'll see this option under Settings, iCloud, Storage & Backup, "This iPhone" or device you have, and then you can toggle Camera Roll on/off, where it also tells you how big the camera roll is) and still continue to backup the rest of the device (Settings, apps, wallpaper, etc) to iCloud. Or just turn the whole option off and backup to iTunes instead. -
I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side : -
Ipod nano does not connect to Windows and itunes
Dear All
in my family we have 3 ipods: a shuffle, a ipod 20gb and a nano. While the first 2 are easily connecting to windows and itunes, the nano doesn't and does not recognise the USB port of my laptop[message 'unkwnon device']. I have tried, I think, most of the suggestion I found on the apple support and in the forum. Does somebody know any 'special' tip, my son is really getting frustrated by this situation because he can't get the same music. Please help. Thanks in advance
ciaoHello franbat,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your son's iPod nano. I found an article with steps to address this:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

My 6th generation nano isn't recognized by my computer. When I plug it in an error message pops up, which says "USB Device Not Recognized". Does anyone know how to start trouble shooting this? I updated both windows and iTunes.

Windows and itunes can now see my ipod!!
Hi
Chris... any anyone else interested
I have managed to get my ipod to work with windows and itunes. but at a cost. some of my music and movies will not coppy back ontot he ipod and chkdsk of C:\ showed many errors in the itunes directory. these files worked previously so my conclusion is that updating has somehow corrupted files and ipod update software on the ipod itself.
Heres what i had to do
1. My pod was showing version 1.0 even though I had version 1.2 previously. this may have been due to the attempt at a re-set from advice given on the forum for trying to get reconnection (5R's) so i wanted to re-run updater.
2. ipod updater (found in C:\program files\ipod) could not run due to previous topics posted (ipod ejected after 10 seconds without update and drive diappears from 'my computer'). so...I uninstalled itunes 7.2, and reinstalled itunes 6. To do this I had to rename my current library 'itunes 7.02 old' to avoid the 'itunes cannot continue to install as your library was created in a later version' error message.
3. Itunes 6 still did not recognise itunes and kicked it off windows too just like before. The difference was however that this time running ipod updater from C:\program files\ipod\.... allowed it to update from the previous installer and this set the ipod back to version 1.1 but obviously during this process all items on the ipod were deleted. This update was allowed despite the drive not showing up in 'my computer'?
4. plugging in the updated ipod opened itunes and at last the ipod icon appeared and the drive remained in windows. I updated to software version 1.2 and itunes 7.02
5. I then went into c:\......my music\itunes and renamed the current library 'itunes' to '7.02' and my previously renamed 'itunes library 7.02 old' back to 'itunes'
6. on restarting itunes my whole old library was reinstated.
there were 68 problems and an empty 'movie' folder was seen as 'corrupt' by windows. CHKDSK on C drive removed any corruption. Everything else seems to be updating ok....my purchased games, movies, audio etc...
So in summary if you are stuck in the loop of being unable to restore an old itunes due to having a new library or not being able to use the previous ipod updater to restore your ipod follow the steps above and all should be ok.
this does not solve the cause however so any comments on what may have happened would be most appreciated.
Matt/AlanHey there MattSK123,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP

my PC crashed, so i reinstalled windows and itunes. how do i get my music back?
If the music was purchased from iTunes you can redownload it for free (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). If not you will either have to re-import all your music to rebuild your library, or purchase 3rd party software that can transfer it from your phone to iTunes such as Touch Copy.

I reinstalled Windows and iTunes. How can I transfer what is on my iPad, which is authorized, to my PC?
The ipad is not a backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back. Certainly you did not reinstall your os without making sure your backup copy was up to date.
