Q: Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2 Won't wifi sync iPhone

Let's hope this is the final chapter with this issue we all are having...

http://www.zdnet.com/itunes-11-1-6-to-restore-local-contact-calendar-sync-700002 7487/

Yes, the beta came out today for BOTH Mavericks and iTunes. 

http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/03/20/apple-restores-usb-itunes-contacts-cal endars-syncing-in-new-os-x-mavericks-1093-itunes-1116-betas

So it is coming soon..

Setting IPV6 to Automatically and restarting did the trick for me. See RCKOJOHN write up .

encountered this problem for first time last night,,rebooting my wi-fi modem was all i needed to rectify the issue

Read all the post and finally only worked for me after left Airport unplugged for 5 minutes.

Thank you Apple for either forcing me to break the law in my Country (Canada) by storing personal information (contacts) on a US system, or forcing me to abandon my Apple devices

If it comes to placing myself at the mercy of your goverment's Orwellian policies or buying a Samsung or other phone then I will be swapping my phone (PS this applies to my wife and all my co-workers whio feel the same way)

What is the point of having compatible Apple devices if I am forced to break the law to use them properly - If I can't use them properly then I will look elsewhere

BTW you will find that this privacy concern will be a problem in most countries outside the US

Looks like Apple have removed the "local sync" option from Mavericks to force us to use iCloud

Only one problem with that...

Using iCloud to swap personal information is illegal in many countries (it is in Canada) as it forces the storage of private information (i.e. Contacts) on US servers where it is exposed to being handed over to the US goverment under the Patriot Act.

Canadian privacy law explicitly prevents the storage of private information in the US, for example it is illegal for a company to have a payroll system or health records management system running live or as a backup in the US (but we are allowed to save private information on European hosted systems)

My wife, her co-workers and my co-workers are all aware of this and will swap their iphones for other devices when they are up for replacement, no point having technology that you cannot use legally...

If Apple do not fix this they are going to see a significant drop off in sales

I am about to restore the full system backup I took before upgrading to Mavericks

As opposed to the Candian intelligence services simply handing it over to the NSA (which they did).

So you wife's company allows them to use their private iCloud accounts for company info?

The company does not have an IT department and allows employees to manage company info themselves?

The company does not use exchange servers to handle devices connected to their network?'

Wow...

The CIS handover of information is unfortunately not against the law, however privacy law still applies to companies and individuals

As for your sarcastic response to my post, yes the companies concerned (including mine) all have IT departments and most have recently begun to adopt BYOD (bring your own device)

This means that calendar information and contact information can now be stored on personal devices, those devices can then be synchronised to other devices and so on

You should also ask yourself why Apple allow everything on your iPhone to be sync'd using iTunes except for your contacts and calendar?

Why do they only want to harvest your movements (calendar) and the entire network of people you know (contacts)?

Perhaps when you mature a little you will be able to engage in a constructive discussion about something that clearly represents a problem for most people, albeit for a range of reasons - i.e. forced use of iCloud by removing WIFI sync

I think Blackberry just become a viable choice for companies again - the NSA really didn't like their encryption...

As of the coming iTunes 11.1.6, it's been reported local sync will be restored also for Contacs and Calendars. If this is true I don't know what took Apple so long. Removing local sync for anything is just plain stupidity and in IMNSHO not the usual Apple tactics.

Anyhow this thread is not about this issue with having to sync Contacts and Calendars via iCloud. It's about problems with local Wifi sync. Stop hijacking threads.

You should also ask yourself why Apple allow everything on your iPhone to be sync'd using iTunes except for your contacts and calendar?

Because Contacts & Calendars used Sync Services, which was removed from Mavericks. (because it was flaky).

The same version of iTunes will still sync local contacts & calendars with Windows (far more Windows users have iDevices than Mac OS Mavericsk users) and previous versions of Mac OS.

Why do they only want to harvest your movements (calendar) and the entire network of people you know (contacts)?

They aren't harvesting anything, Mr Tin Foil Hat.

I'd be far, FAR more worried about the health info & payroll data info your wife and her co-workers are carrying around on their personal devices.

(FYI: They cannot simply use any device they want for BYOD or connect to the company intranet. It must meet certain standards for locking/encryption/internet use before it would be allowed).

You mean for relatively very few people.

I think Blackberry just become a viable choice for companies again - the NSA really didn't like their encryption...

What does the NSA not liking their encryption have to do with them becoming a viable company again?

The NSA does not like Apple's encryption far more than they don't like BlackBerry's. and Blackberry has pretty much had it's run so, no, companies are not looking to them to rise from the ashes.

I had the exact same problem with Airplay and iTunes Wi-Fi sync not working. I found out that the problem was my internet security program McAfee was blocking all connections. Disabling just that program's firewall fixed everything.

However, this is the iTunes for Mac forum.

Yes this is on a Macbook Pro Retina with McAfee internet security installed on it

McAfee (and moreso Norton) really do not work well with Mac OS and tend to generally mess it up.
