Wireless sync of place in audiobook?

I listen to audiobooks on my iPhone 4S and my iPad1.  Since upgrading to Lion, OS5 and iCloud, I've noticed that my iPad somehow knows where I stopped listening to the audiobook on my phone, and will start playing at exactly that spot.  Very nice!!  However, my iPhone does not know when I've listened to more of the book on my iPad, and does not automatically update to the place I left off on the iPad.
I would like to be able to have it be a two-way process with both iPhone and iPad staying up to date with each other.  The problem is that I can't figure out how this is happening.  (Its not a manual sync with iTunes, as iPad will update my place without being synced physically.) 
My question is by what process does iPad know where I left off listening to an audiobook on my iPhone?  I assume this is somehow happening wirelessly through iCloud, but I can't figure out what settings enabled this on iPad, so that I can have iPhone do the same thing.
Can anyone help by explaining what settings are controlling this phenomenon?

  • Syncing loses place in Audiobook

    I use M4B type audiobooks and there is no problem with the iPod portion of my iPhone 4 keeping my place. However, when I attach it to my computer and the iPhone syncs with iTunes, then I loose my place in the book. How do I avoid this? If I uncheck the audiobook files in iTunes, won't it just remove them from the iPhone? How do I sync my iPhone and not loose my place in my audiobook.

    My solution was to purchase Podtrapper. The other nice nice feature is a sleep timer.
    Numerous devices and my old Android phone never kept its place in audio books- drove me nuts.

  • Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code?

    Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code? Itunes tries to sync all night and posts 50 unknown errors. I unlock the phone and it syncs. I dont want my phone sitting around without a lock code but with wireless sync I cant find a place to tell itunes my code so it can sync? Any help is appreciated... Ray O

    I have the same problem. I am forced to have a PIN set on my devices because I use my corporate exchange email and sync over wi-fi initially fails until I manually unlock the phone/ipad.  #ckuan needs to read the words wiritten.  We know how it's supposed to work but it won't start until you enter the PIN. Until then I get error messages saying either it cannot find the phone or explicitly telling me I need to unlock it.

  • Error Setting Up Wireless Sync

    Even went to the extend of disabling the firewall, to no avail.

    This error can appear when the computer that Zune is installed on is connected to a Public network location. The Public network location blocks certain programs and services from running to help protect your computer from unauthorized access while you're connected to a network in a public place. If you're connected to a public network and Windows Firewall is turned on, some programs or services might ask you to allow them to communicate through the firewall so that they work properly.
    If your computer is connected to a Public network this behavior is normal and you need to allow the Zune program and the Zune Wireless Configuration Service to communicate through your firewall. If your computer is actually connected to a network at work or at home (or a network you trust) then: 
    Open the Network and Sharing Center by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the Search box, type "network", and then click Network and Sharing Center.
    Click Public network and then click Work network or Home network.
    For a Zune player, try to configure it manually. To do this, follow these steps:
    Start the Zune software.
    Connect the Zune player to the computer.
    Click Settings, click Device, and then click Wireless Sync.
    Click Set Up Wireless Sync, and then click Show Advanced Settings.
    Enter the name of the wireless network (SSID).
    Select a network type.
    Click Next.
    Enter a network key, password, or a passphrase if you're prompted, and then click OK.
    Click Finish.
    Note Make sure that the SSID and your password are typed correctly when you configure the Zune player for wireless sync in the Zune software.

  • My gf is borrowing an iPhone and theres a few odd things setup on it regarding wireless syncing and something under SMS with a receiving email address. I was wondering if msgs she is sending or even receiving would be going to this address.

    Another odd thing I just this second found is it looks like the phone is setup to wirelessly sync to a designated laptop as soon as it is discovered in the network. Any help or suggestion on how to stop this?

    Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

  • Wireless sync with multiple devices? + related q

    Does anyone know what happens if you have multiple devices (with different content - but using the same library) set up on automatic wireless sync? My husband has successfully set up his iPhone to sync, but I'm nervous of doing the same for my iPad in case it causes some kind of conflict if they're both trying to sync at the same time.
    I've searched and couldn't find anything about this.
    Also does anyone know what happens if you shut down iTunes/the PC while a device is syncing in this way? My husband often plugs his iPhone into his alarm clock to charge while I'm still working on the PC, so it's doing the auto sync when he does that. If I don't notice and shut down the PC before it's finished, will that cause a problem?
    Cheers

    Thank you a lot Jolly Giant, and I have manual sync.
    It seems that there is no way to keep an older version of the same app. Is this correct? I never directly replaced older version with newer version, but I suppose it did so when I did "transfer purchases" from iPad. Then it synced the app on older iPod, and it's not really like I have a choice: if I check its name, it syncs and I have the newer version which does not work. If I uncheck, it removes it from the device altogether.
    Does not iTunes realize that I have two devices? Both are registered, etc. etc. can it not keep track of minimal system requirements? In fact it appears it's worse than this, older version are totally not allowed, even if someone has by chance the older file, iTunes will not allow.
    And it is not like I have a legacy device, this iPod, even though it can not even run the latest iOS (that is, Apple dropped support after 4.2.1 on Nov 22, 2010), was sold new, and not for a cheap price, not so long ago.... btw branded as "third generation" (not everyone is familiar with hardware specs and technical sheets).
    The problem will worsen the day my iPad will eventually abandon 4.2.1 in favor of a newer iOS and sure enough there will be newer versions of apps that no longer support 4.2.1 and which so far, I don't download, but in the future I will want to download for the newer device.
    Thank you a lot Jolly Giant for your help and thank you to anyone who will help.

  • Companionlink Google for Calendar - OR - ANY Wireless Sync Software

    I've been hacking at a way to wirelessly sync my BBerry Bold 9650 with Outlook 2007 and Google.  Since the BBerry solution offers a good email sync, there is no problem there.  Once you install Companionlink Google for BBerry it is clear that unless you want contacts to multiply you cannot have 2 programs doing the syncing.  So, I erased the phone, backed up my contacts and calendar from Outlook 2007 - then erased them in Outlook, and erased them my Gmail contacts and calendar.  Then I did a clean install of my Blackberry email setup for gmail - and "did not" check to have the contacts sync through BBerry's solution.  All worked so far.  Then I installed Companionlink on the PC (Vista), and configured that it would sync contacts and calendar.  Lastly I had companionlink send a link to my BBerry with the mobile app - which I configured to sync contacts tasks and calendar.  Then I wasn't getting my email.  So I deleted my gmail account from the phone and re-registered it for email only.  This worked.  Everything was syncing like a charm.  Next thing I know (about 3 hours later) Companionlink crashed!!  Has anyone had this happen?  After trying many apps to fully sync outlooks functionality I'm depressed!  Who wants to plug the phone in every night?  Can any one help with a solid and trouble free solution or app that works??  

    Again, not having a Windows Mobile Treo, have you checked the software download section on the VZW customer support area?  I found this article which might be helpful.  If you are talking about the VZW Sync software that sync your data and email with your VZW account, to restore that, you may need to hard reset your device.  As a Sprint user, I don't know for sure.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • New iPod touch and iPad 2 stopped wireless sync

    There was a time when I could wirelessly sync my iPad to my Windows PC but now it will not sync and my new iPod touch version 5 will not sync either.  Currently, the only way I can sync is via USB and that isn't convenient.  It is downright irritating, in fact. It seems that Apple did some sort of update either to iOS 6 or to iTunes 10.7 that is preventing wireless from syncing.  My guess is that it is iTunes 10.7 that is causing the problem since both devices are having the issue. Additionally, it doesn't seem to show the devices as being accessible for sync.  Before when one of the devices was available it would show in iTunes. It doesn't ever seem to show either of the devices in iTunes now.
    Is there anyone out there with a solution?  Waiting for Apple to pull their heads out and update iTunes isn't the sort of solution I'm looking for.
    I have:
    iPad iOS 6.0.1
    iPod touch iOS 6.0.1
    iTunes 10.7.0.21
    Thank you in advance!

    Additional information:
    I managed to get both the iPad and the iTouch to sync once and once only by going to Music -> ... More > Shared and then add the library that is shared over the network from the PC that I wanted to sync.  This proves it isn't a network issue or a Windows issue.

  • Wireless Sync issue with Windows 7

    I just picked up my new Droid X on Sat(with the 2.2 software already installed) and love it. I was playing around with the wireless sync options, media share, DLNA etc. I have a newer Sony Vaio with Windows 7 64 bit and. My computer has no problem seeing the Droid through Windows Media player or in my home group network(Linksys E2000 router). However the Droid cannot see the PC through Media sharing option/simple file sharing/ or DNLA. It of course has no issue connected USB which I can live with that. Also The Droid and my PC do see each other via bluetooth but it will not pair. I was just curious if anyone out ther with W7 has run into this issue and determined a fix for it this.

    Plug the Droid in and then find the device driver, remove the device driver, restart windows and your Droid and try again.

  • IOS 5 Wireless Sync and D-Link DIR-655

    Has anyone figured out the settings to be inputed into the DIR-655 settings menus in order for wireless sync to work between iTunes and iOS 5 devices?  I've read about every post I can find, and nothing is specifically helping.  (BTW, I had Comcast set my cable modem to "bridge", so that takes care of at least one issue that I've read about).
    This wireless sync option, which is meant to make life easier, is driving me nuts.
    Thanks!

    I had a similar problem and I needed a second computer (B) using a wired connection to the router to allow the other one (A) in. This is what I did:
    1. Using the wired computer (B) I opened up the network so any computer could join the network wirelessly.
    2. I joined the network with (A) wirelessly.
    3. Once I had successfully joined the network with (A) I used the wired computer (B) to do a search for new computers so (A) could be registered in the Access Control List.
    4. Using (B) I closed the network again.
    5. Now I could join the network with (A) wirelessly without any trouble.

  • 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

  • When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?

    When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?
    it worked the first few times i did it but the next day after i closed out of itunes once, the device only appears when i plug in my phone.

    Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings.  Be sure to turn it off.
    You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account.  You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account.  (have restrictions turned off)  That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices.  Then sign in using the new ID.
