Wi-Fi Synch option

I want to synch my iphone with my computer over the same wi-fi network. They are both on the same wi-fi, I have updated the itunes and updated to iOS 5. But the option to enable synch over wi-fi DOES NOT APPEAR in the summary page of my device in itunes - it simply does not exist.


Help please. how I can do this?


Thanks

iPhone 4, iOS 5

It's not on the options section on the iTunes device summary page. The iTunes Wi-Fi Sync does exist on the phone but ONLY works when connected with the wire. It even says "Automatically sync with iTunes on your computer when your iPhone is plugged into power and onnected to Wi-Fi" which is ridiculous because now I also have to be connected to the wi-fi hotspot when I plug in my phone in order to synch it.

Hi Guys, this option would work well for me. Here is my challenge tho. My previous wired sync was on a PC. One that I am not going to continue using going forward. (Had hoped iCloud would have solved this because I'm actually trying to sync Podcasts) So when I set the Wi-Fi Sync in General its only showing my old PC (by name) as the choice. Is there a way that I can Wi-Fi Sync with my new mac? And in case you are wondering, I'm switching from PC to MAC so my iPhone is formated for PC. So ... what do to?


Kindest.
