Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2 Won't wifi sync iPhone

I tried both the Create a new network location procedure, and the whole backup, wipe, setup as new, restore from backup process (after restarting the Mac Pro, the phone, toggling iTunes wifi sync on and off, restarting everything again...)

I still can't get wifi sync to work since upgrading to Mavericks.

The really irritating part is that I had just gone through a process like this a week before when I upgraded to the iPhone 5s in order to get wifi synching working under Moutain Lion!

Meh. Seems like i spoke to soon aswell.

iTunes is not detecting iphone through wireless again. Tried to repeat the location process but this time didn't seem to sort it.

Worked on the first sync Fanimal?

Did you find code in Mavericks that was not released by Apple?

If so make sure you submit a bug report to www.android.com

I stayed away from Mavericks due to the fact IOS 7 is aweful. Have 10.8.5 and the new lousy iTunes 11.1.2 and my iPod 5 no longer syncs properly if at all. My ol' trust 80gb iPod does just fine though. ALL the problems that IOS 7 does in fact have has never made it to iTunes until the iTunes update. THEN IT ALL HIT THE FAN!! Can never sync properly no matter what I've tried, and I've had Apple products for many years. It's a bug and they simply need to hurry up and fix it - for ALL our sakes!

I had the same problem. Also couldn't wifi syn 1password. Saw a suggestion of changing IP address on iphone to STATIC. http://iphone.namitkarlekar.com/2009/05/fixing-your-iphones-ip-on-wifi-network.h tml. So far this seems to have done the trick.

Thanks a lot, Steve!

I was about to migrate to android :facepalm:

Tried the Location method again today connected to an Airport Express and it did work. But if i use my wifi router it doesn't. Weird, since i haven't made any changes to my router configuration.

Downloaded Mavericks. More crap, more headache. FINALLY downloaded my music, but now cannot download more. Same amount of songs as before on my 60gb iPod 5, 9800. When done it said 8.55gb space left. NOW if I try to sync to change ANYTHING, "OTHER" jumps up to 18.85gb and says no room left. Tried deleting everything, cleared out iPod twice, still a mess.

I MISS THE DAYS BEFORE IOS 7 and updated iTUNES RUINED MY MAC AND iPOD-5!!!!!!

I've just managed to get mine to work again by enabling/disabling the multicast on my router. Let's see for how long this works.

Definitely between mavericks, iOS and iTunes something went wrong with the wifi syncing. It's just behaving erroneously.

Thanks Steve. Solved the problem for me.

After days of rebooting, etc, finally back to working. HAD to turn on iCloud, restore several times, etc. Most trouble I've ever had with my iMac/iPod, Wow. Thanks to everyone for the many suggestions. 🙂

Same problem, devices not showing up as available to sync via WiFi. USB sync works fine. Tried rebooting everything, no joy. Whether it's germain to the discussion or not, iCloud syncing is enabled.

Even with the cable, if your contacts and calendars (ie. things that used to be under the "Info" tab in itunes) are stored locally (i.e. not in iCloud), those things cannot be synced at all.

same here . so we need to sync to icloud now unless we are using the cable ?

The wifi sync is definitely fubar. I've tried endless tricks (some mentioned here) already and with some of them i managed to get it working but only for a short period. After a while it disapears again and wifi sync stops working.

The only way i can get it to constantly work is if i use an airport. And even so it disapears aswell after a while. The diference is with the airport i press wifi sync on the iPhone and the device appears again in iTunes

Still this's completely random and i still can't identify a patern. I can only hope that Apple eventualy get this sorted in a future update.

Oh. I'm using an up-to-date Airport, too. Still can't get WiFi Sync option.
