iPod touch 3g will not wifi sync... why?

I recently updated to iOS5, not without its hassles, I might add. I now have 2 major problems.



The first one is whatever I do, I cannot wirelessly sync my iPod touch 3g... even though I've reinstalled iTunes (verison 10.5.0.142) and Bonjour too... and manually configured the services so they can get to the open router and also get through Windows Firewall, but still, the inbound connection must be blocked somehow as the iPod is waiting to see if my computer is "available"... I have seen many threads about this, and I know it is not just me that's having this problem.


Secondly, all the songs on my iPod (the ones that iTunes actaully lets me sync...) are all in the wrong order alphabetically in the music app... to give you an example, under the letter T in artists, I have Led Zeppelin, Nirvana and Metallica. Granted, Metallica has a T in it, but this not exactly what this menu is supposed to do...


Any solutions would greatly be appreciated.

iPod touch, iOS 5, 3rd generation

Got it to work. A guy in another thread gave the following instructions.


Login to your router and look for UPNP, if this is ticked / checked you need to untick it / uncheck it and then save the settings then let the router reset/reboot. Now log back into the router and enable the UPNP back on and the Sync over Wifi will now work.


This refreshes the UPNP settings and lets iTunes and the iPod/iPhone/iPad to connect.

I got it to work using a different method... but I shall post it here to help everyone else.


Uninstall every trace of iTunes and Bonjour (if your on windows). Then do a registry clean, making sure missing links is checked... then reinstall iTunes, sync your iPod once, and then it will appear in iTunes 🙂


This is the registry cleaner I use.
