Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hey guys,
I love my new iPhone 5 and everything is perfect except that it won't show up in the devices collum in iTunes after I unplug the iPhone. I have selected and deselcted the "Sync over Wifi" option several times but it just won't go. My iPhone 4S and iPad 3 have no problem syncing and it has been working all along. I have the latest version of iTunes. Anyone have any suggestions or seeing this behavior also?
Thanks,
Christian
Thank you Greenfields forever. Your fix was the right one for me.
This was it for me.
The default iMac name (So-and-So's-iMac-7) kept changing the number at the end, and was now 10. I changed the whole name to avoid this from happening again.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this advice. This solved my problem.🙂
Another thing to try -- ensure you have IPv6 enabled on your Mac.
None of my devices were syncing, then I went to:
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > TCP/IP > Configure IPv6
-- set to "Automatically" (or in my case, I use "Link-local only")
Restart iTunes
Then in my case, voila - both my iPad and iPhone were syncing.
Yes so far, after the restart, it is working again. I'll see if it persists after the iMac sleeps...
I now have Yosemite on my computer and ios 8.1 on my phone. I couldn't get my iphone to show up in the top left hand corner when I turned on itunes. I had to sync over usb for a little bit. I didn't know why my Iphone was not recognized. I knew my computer knew my iphone was there because I could still send and receive texts on my computer. I double checked to see if both devices were on the same wifi. They were. I finally found a solution. I turned off my iphone and turned it back on. When I did that, Itunes finally recognized my Iphone over wifi. I don't know why that worked but it did. If you can't get itunes to see your device, try restarting. It might be as easy as that.
This sounds really simple but I turned my iphone off and on again it worked
iPhone 5 won't sync via WiFi to iTunes
