I can't connect my devices to iTunes by WiFi on PC

Hello, I can not connect my iPhone/iPad by WiFi, do not know the reason, do not change nothing on my devices, the sync by WiFi is activated but since I updated to iOS 16.1/iPadOS 16.1 seems like that sync option is not activated or is a bug.

Hope someone could help me with this,

Thanks

iphone 8 WiFi sync has never worked but is enabled in iTunes PC Wifi sync has been enabled in iTunes PC windows 10 for years. yet wifi sync has NEVER worked, not for emails, calendars or contacts, even though "ticked" in iTunes. I used to update per cable regularly, but no, new additional problem: iTunes no longer launches unless run as Administrator. No phone support has helped, or known what to do! Anyone here, maybe?

iTunes wi-fi sync not working after updating to Windows 11 22H2 I'm a "wireless > wired" type of person and having Wi-Fi sync not working after updating to Windows 11 22H2 isn't a good thing especially when i sideload stuff and i forget to refresh it. It only starts working on one boot cycle after plugging in the phone to the computer, and i don't know what to do.

Unable to sync iPhone with iTunes over WiFi I'm following the directions to use Wi-Fi to sync my iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 15.5) with my iTunes for Windows app (v. 12.12.4.1.), but it's not not working. With my iPhone connected to my PC via a USB-C cable, I checked the box in iTunes to "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi". Then I hit "Apply" and eject. According to Apple's official instructions, I should now have the following ways to sync wirelessly: Sync your device over Wi-Fi Here are ways to sync wirelessly when your device is on the same Wi-Fi network as your computer (the computer must be turned on): Connect your device to a charger and plug it into an electrical outlet. Syncing begins automatically. In the iTunes app on your PC, click the icon for your device, then click the Sync button. (See: Sync iTunes content on PC with devices on Wi-Fi – Apple Support (AU)). With respect to the first bullet, my phone does not sync when it's charging. With respect to the second bullet, the icon for my device isn't available in the iTunes app unless my phone is hardwired to my PC, so it's impossible for me to click the icon to get to the sync button. (Perhaps the device icon should now be available without a hardwired connection, but it's not.) The iPhone and the PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, so that's not the problem. I've found numerous articles on other websites that say you should also be able to manually trigger a Wi-Fi sync from you iPhone's Settings app. According to them, if you go to "General" and scroll down you'll see an option for "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync". But no such option exists within the General settings on my iPhone. (To be clear, it's not simply greyed out; it doesn't appear at all.)

I suggest that on each of the devices you select your Wi-Fi's router and use the Forget This Network option. Then re-connect to the same network. You will need your Wi-Fi's password:

In Settings/Wi-FI, tap the i icon:

In there, tap Forget This Network
Next, select that same network from the CHOOSE A NETWORK list (the heading wording may be different, such as NETWORK, see the screenshot)
Enter the network's password
