Wireless sync intermittant

I can occasionally get iTunes to wirelessly sync with the iPhone and iPad, but its vry intermittant. They show up in iTunes, but when I select sync, it goes to looking for iPad or iPhone, then claims it can't connect. The device listing disappears for a few seconds or minutes, then reappears. Try again to sync, same problem. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the wifi for the devices and the computer as well as restarting the devices, the computer and my router. Sometimes these things work, sometimes not, I can't find a method to the madness. Anyone esle having these issues or have any suggestions?

iPhone 4, iOS 5

I also have the exact same problem. I've gone through all the help in these and other forums, but no use. I've gone as far as removing all Apple components from my machine and reinstalling, but still the same issue.....

I have been having this problem too, however it seems the problem goes away if it's plugged into a charger... my phone was at 53% and was showing up in iTunes then disconnecting when I tried to sync (iPad too). I plugged my phone into the wall charger (not the USB) and now it's fine. Seems a bit pointless... may as well just plug it into my iMac and sync it, defeats the purpose of Wifi completely.
