iTunes on Windows 11 WiFi Sync with iPhone

I cannot get my iPhone 17 Pro (iOS 26.6) to WiFi sync to iTunes (Windows Store updated to latest) on Windows 11. I have tried the official Apple tutorial here, plus reset network settings, etc. All to no avail. I still have no problem syncing when physically tethered to the PC, but really want the continuity of WiFi sync as well.


Hoping for some insight!

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26

@Naferr


I am an amateur

... smarter folks will hopefully jump in but the first thing I would do is

inspect my list of installed programs and see if any/all of the following are

installed:



1.  Apple Music

2. Apple TV

3. Apple Devices for Windows


All three of these apps are known to conflict with iTunes....




AND ... I have to ask ....

Did you do anything special to get the teather-ed sync to work?

I think you are the only person I know that has teather-ed sync working............


Thanks for any help ;-)

Thanks!

I knew what you meant, sorry if I was unclear.

I can not get the USB/Teathered connection option to work for me.

I *AM* using the stand-alone version of iTunes (not the Microsoft Store version)

as I was told that it was better to use the stand-alone....


BUT if you are having success with the Store version I may uninstall what I've got and get that!


THANKS!

Jim
