wifi sync not working after ios6 update

Is anyone else having this problem. I updated to iOS 6 today on my iPhone 4s, everything else is working just fine, but wifi-sync isn't working, my phone doesn't appear in itunes until i plug it into my computer. Anyone have any ideas?

As predicted, it looks like its fixed. OSX upgrade to 10.8.2 mentioned something about iTunes synching issue and since upgrading, everything appears to work. That includes manual wifi synch, plugged in "standard" synch, and plugged in automatic wifi synch, all of which worked intermittently, after several tries, or not at all in the last couple of weeks.

This is with iPad 3, iPhone 4 and iPhone 5.

Thanks Apple 😉

After a few days, it's back to where it started. Everything works intermittently.

It is definitely not fixed. The devices time out looking for my iMac, though sometimes it works or it works to start the synch in. iTunes. Not reliable and iTunes sometimes loses devices after they Re unplugged.

I also just received my lightening to 30 pin converter and it doesn't even come close to fitting the new Otterbox...

I had the same issue with my MacBook Pro. I connected the device with the cable and opened iTunes. There I selected my device and checked "sync over wi-fi" option. Then I closed itunes, unplugged iPhone 5, turned off my router for about a minute, turned it back on, and then turned off AirPort off and back on.

In my case for some reason iTunes now sees my iPhone 5 everytime.

Hope this helps!!!
