wifi sync not working after ios6 update

just put this little Icon on your desktop and Wi-Fi Sync will work.

1. double click the icon. This stops and restarts the home LAN/WLAN-connection of your PC

2. then start iTunes and your Wi-Fi Sync works

That's all

That's for Windows. How about Mac?

The quick reset that fixes the problem (until it comes back again) is to disconnect and reconnect your Mac from your network. If it's hardwired, just unplug the ethernet cable and plug it back in (works instantly for me 100% of the time). If you're connected over WiFi, just turn it off and turn it back on. Like the above PC solution, it fixes the problem temporarily, but it's quick and allows you to sync without much effort.

The holy grail fix most of us would like is one that is permanent.

My iPhone is connected via USB. Forget wifi. Just the direct connection sync is not working either.

And in the latest OSX, there's no "iSync".

What else?

Did 10.8.4 fix the wifi sync issues and wifi sync waking the computer from sleep?

Good question. Thanks for telling me about 10.8.4. I'm installing it and hoping.

Does anyone know if itunes 11.0.4 fix this annoying bug?

dunno if it is more than a fluke, but i upgraded and started iTunes and there were both my ipad and my iphone pretty quick in there. it's not the first time that has happened in the last several months, but it doesn't happen that often. i usually have to do some messing around to get them to both show up.

Surprise surprise.

Upgraded iTunes and it's fixed nothing.

Wifi sync is still as sporadic as it ever was.

A year on and it's still bust.

"It just works". It really doesn't.

You running 10.8.4 too?

Yup. I am.

yeah, my earlier reported success after upgrading to the latest itunes was indeed a fluke.

it's back to sporadic connections.

i still have the best results with my ios devices UNPLUGGED from power. i have an iphone and an ipad and i have one charger near my laptop and usually have either one or the other plugged in. when i start itunes, 9 times out of 10, whichever device is NOT plugged into power will show up for wifi sync in itunes. i know that is exactly backwards from what apple says, but that is my experience. i can generally get the other device to show up by UNPLUGGING it from power and waiting 30 seconds or so.

it's a lot of extra hassle compared to the old days when it really did "just work" 100% of the time and instantly.

I called Apple Suppport, they told me that plugged or unplugged to power does not make any difference..It is suppose to work either way now.

I Have had this problem for ages, and I have found something that has so far worked for my iPhone 4 and iPad so thought I would share it, I'm sorry but I only know the windows version of this but I'm sure mac users can adapt it.

with iTunes running do a cntl-alt-del and choose task manager and then click on the services tab, scroll down the long list till you find apple mobile device, right click on it and choose stop service, or pause service,, but DO NOT delete it or you may not be able to sync your device at all, now close task manager and close iTunes, restart I tunes, plug your device into a power supply and it should come up, has worked for me for a while now.

hope this help and has not been suggested before,, way to many replies to read them all.

Forgot to say, connect device my cable one last time and untick and tick sync by wifi for that device....

iOS 7 Beta 1 Sync - Known Issues: The Wi-Fi sync option in iTunes is checked, but Wi-Fi devices do not appear in iTunes. Workaround: On OS X, install the iOS 7.0 SDK after installing iTunes. Wi-Fi sync is not supported on Windows.

I wonder if it will be supported on Windows by the final release or if they've thrown in the towel.
