I can't sync with Itunes through wi-fi

Hello,


I'm using iPhone 4(GSM) 8Gb. It is on the same wi-fi network as my computer. I can't connect with iTunes through wi-fi. I tried many possible tricks which users shared here on forum. iPhone(7.0.2) and iTunes(11.1.1) are on the latest updates.

Sync through wi-fi is turned on(on options when iPhone is connected with cable).



Any ideas? :/

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2, Windows 7 x64

If you are using a Windows PC and not able to connect over Wifi, it is because your firewall might be blocking the incomming connections, try toggling the firewall on and off if that doesnot work follow these steps.


  • Type "Troubleshooting" in the search box in start menu.
  • Open Troubleshooting>Network and intranet>Incomming Connections.
  • In the dialog box click next and follow the steps for Share Files or Folders.


This should solve the problem.

I had this problem with OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5. The iPhone did not show on iTunes (nor did the iPad). The iMac is connected to the router by Ethernet cable. I could get the iPhone to appear (sometimes) by tapping "Settings/General/iTunes Wi-Fi Sync/Sync Now" on the iPhone. Restarting iTunes, iMac, router and iPhone (in different sequences) had no effect.


The better solution seems to be turning the iMac's Wi-Fi on. It's quite consistent. Turn Wi-Fi off and the devices disappear from iTunes. Turn Wi-Fi on again, restart iTunes and they reappear.
