iOS 8 wifi sync not working

Just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and my iTunes to 11.4. I'm unable to get my phone to connect in iTunes using the WIFI sync now. I've tried unchecking then checking it to see if would get it working again but nothing is getting it to work. Anybody else have this issue?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

I agree. This is "Madness." I upgraded to iTunes 12.0. I still have the same problem that my iPhone and iPad on IOS 8.02, which will not sync wifi unless they are turned off then turned back on. But, the iPhone on IOS 7.x worked fine with iTunes 11.x. Now, it doesn't sync with iTunes 12.0 automatically any longer. I have to click on the sync button manually and yes automatic is checked off.


Apple never changed the new Numbers to be useable in print view. This is a must for my business. I'm still using Number 9. But, it is starting to work flakey with the new operating system. Apple refused to add print view.


I'm considering going back to the pc and using microscoft exchange. Apple has changed dramatically for the worse.

For me, I believe the source of my issue is related to Bonjour.


I'm able to take a packet capture and verify that the Bonjour multicast packets arrive to my server machine, however there is no response to the query packets received on UDP/5353.

I wonder if iTunes has been hacked on both Windows and OSX and the hack attack is interfering with wifi sync. Has anyone tried a complete OS reinstall to see if it fixes it?

The only time I have been able to sync was when it was a new feature. I've given up with it now.


Running the latest on iPhone 5S

You and I both had damage to our Operating systems. I've already reinstalled OS X on my iMac, and now the devices show up in iTunes all the time, so far. As for my windows laptop, I'm in the process or reinstall now, so don't know the final outcome. It takes a couple days to complete for me.
