iOS 8 WiFi sync is broken

Now with iOS 8.0.2 iPhone and iPad are listed in iTunes; a couple of times only iPad disappeared starting sync.

We should write an email to Apple senior advisor lets his know the issue we have. David Graham D_Graham@apple.com.

Exactly, its only a temporary fix as I have suspected the whole time. Its definitely an iOS 8 bug cause my iPad 2 has the same issue and it doesn't support Hand-Off

Talked to the german support a minute ago. They will track the problem and report to development.

I, too, directed Apply Support to this Community Support string when I called in for support on this issue.

IT WORKED! THANKS!

it works temporarily

Sent the email to the developer, obviously have not yet heard back.

Hi, Roy

This appears to be an issue that we are currently working on. I appreciate you reaching back out to me to update me. I will continue to monitor what happens moving forward and relay any new information from our engineers as it comes. Thank you for your patience, but at this time we do not have an immediate fix.

Received the same

Hello William,

There have a few reports on this issue and we are currently aware. Other than suggesting a restore I do not have a fix at this time. Our engineers are continuing to work on this for us all. Sincerely,

I updated to 8.02 and then all devices worked fine. I was going to recommend it. All day...no problems. Then today, everything disappeared again. They are working on Handoff, a new iTunes and other stuff that uses wifi and I think they are finding they can't program and eat pizza at the same time.

Same problems here. I own 4 iOS devices and 2 Macs. Nothing I have done will keep any of the iOS devices connected via WiFi for more than 24 hours.

Anyone noticed that something wrong with WiFi sync after iOS 8 update? Never had problems before, after upgrading my Air and 5S to iOS 8 WiFi sync is so slow and not always devices appear on iTunes.

MBA OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 latest

iPhone 5S, iPad air started as new from 0 iOS 8

For me, this issue persists after about 24 hours of last wireless connection to iTunes 11.4. (Issue started with iOS 8.0 in concert with Mavericks 10.9.5 & iTunes 11.4 - even though my iOS devices recognized by my Airport Extreme, are set Every Day - All Day in Timed Access Control for my Wireless Network.)

My iOS devices are now using v8.0.2 (both iOS devices have had Handoff set to OFF since iOS 8.0), and I am finding the workaround, toggling the iPhone or iPad OFF to ON, does work reliably in regaining wireless connection to iTunes 11.4.

With my iPhone 6, however, connection to my WiFi network (after the iPhone 6 is back to ON) isn't regained (initially showing LTE) until I've gotten past the Lock Screen, as Touch ID is ON, by entering the initial 4-digit passcode; and then, the iPhone auto connects to my WiFi network without further intervention. My iPad Air, however, doesn't have any Lock Screen password set and auto connects to my WiFi network immediately after completing back to ON.

MBP i7 (mid 2010) with 10.9.5 & iTunes 11.4

iPhone 6 64GB & iPad Air 32GB with iOS 8.0.2

iOS 8.02 fixed that problem
