Wireless Sync Issue since iTunes 10.5.1

[Deeg]

Anyone else?

Running windows XP.

Wifi sync is enabled on the phone, everything has been re-booted, but it's still having none of it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Edit - After doing all of the above for a 3rd time, it has actually worked.

At last.

It needs to be plugged into a power source.

Are you running a 3rd party firewall on the PC? Something like Zone Alarm etc?

Does it? Mine will sync wirelessly without a power source...

Does it?

I didn't know that. That may explain why it didn't work at times.

Can't you do it with XX% battery and above? Or always a power source?

 

[Revels]

Hmmm. I thought it did. Mebbe not.

Norton Internet Security.

I have literally never done anything with this other than virus scan my PC.

 

[Deeg]

But thank you for the very speedy response as per Revels, my go to person to deal with my apple r****d related problems.

This isn't going to help answer your question, but Norton is worse than having a virus.

Norton is named after a trojan horse iirc.

Meh, serves a purpose.

But I'll bite, what's the issue?

 

[olliewebbuk]

Hmmm. I thought it did. Mebbe not.

Works fine here.

Try turning off Norton and see if that fixes it.

 

[Deeg]

It's fine now, after the third time of doing all the problem solving it works. No clue why it wouldn't before hand.

Does it take you long to sync wirelessly? I've found it takes ages. I end up just plugging the damn thing in my laptop.

 

[AK]

Turned wireless sync off in the end.

Get opening iTunes every 5 mins on my laptop. PITA.

 

[Tom]

Erm

 

[Revels]

I shouldn't doubt myself.

 

[MaLicE]

mine is syncing without being plugged in as you can see...

 

[MaLicE]

it auto syncs when you plug it in, but you can press sync now and it will sync without being plugged in... works from pressing sync now on the phone and through iTunes.

Alice is right, much as I hate to admit it

Well, this really isn't the time nor place to get into it, but basically dude it's pretty crap. Massive bloatware. I have personally witnessed it kill a game's frame rate by half.

All a domestic consumer needs is Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Firewall. Pretty light, pretty unobtrusive, and perfectly adequate.

All IMO of course.
