ios 5 wifi sync

i'm also net getting it to work.
It kind of seems to only work if you plug in the phone, so it's not really wifi syncing...

 

do you have your phone plugged into a power source ? I think you need that to sync wireless.

It only works plugged in via USB which is odd

 

Try searching before posting, that part of the update is not active yet.

 

So no wifi sync in this beta yet....
I remember seeing a video showing how cool wifi sync is so I guessed they already implemented it...

 

IOS 5 WiFi Sync

I am also facing same. itune 10.5 not sync on wifi with iphone 4 installed with IOS 5.Though when sync by usb now u can use iphone & sync going in back ground is this wifi sync.
in photos apps there is no places tab after album,events,faces why this

 

lord. it is not active yet in BETA 1.

 

But some still say, that the wifi sync is working... without the need of a usb cable (i know that the iphone needs to be connected to a power source).

i can not get it to work... the snyc button on my iphone is grey all the time... i can press sync only when connect the iphone via usb to a mac. but again, thats not wifi...

 

wi fi sync is not active in beta 1!!!! I hope the larger font helps people understand this

 

works fine but you have to have it plugged into the charger. Kinda pointless unless they make it work without a cable thou....

 

You're not using wifi sync as its not active. Unless you're backing up to the cloud. It's in the dev notes that it's not currently enabled

 

Exactly.

I think this highlights the fact that a lot of the people who have installed the iOS 5 Beta are not developers as they would know that they should READ the release notes before installing the beta!

 

I think those that have it and claim its working are confusing it with backing up to the cloud, or have the cable plugged into the machine and manually syncing from the device as that's the only time that button works

 

Wifi Sync Works!!!

Go to this link. It works the same way for pc. However, keep in mind that no matter what you still will have to connected to a power outlet. But you can sync without actually being connected to your computer.

I wasn't and havent been connected to power and wifi sync works fine....

 

Deselect 'Open iTunes... when... connected'

Mac users:

So here's the fix I came up with (iPhone 4S, iTunes 10.5, OS 10.6.8):
Connect iPhone via USB
Go into iTunes and select the iPhone under device
Under Options, select "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
And the crucial part: DESELECT "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected."

It didn't work for me until I stumbled across the last part.

 

It still doesn't work for me. My last sync was over 3 days ago.

 

Worked for me !!! thank you very much for this.

 

i have a problem, mine says computer not authorized but when i authorize it, it says it already is. so i cannot sync to it under wifi or cable. what could be the problem.

 

Is wifi sync suppose to sync the calendar/contacts?

 

Yes Yes Yes! He solved it. It worked for me. Thanks a lot!

 

Lion quirk

I tried this and was really hopeful, I had this all working on 10.6.8, with iPhone 4, 3GS and iPad 1. After i upgraded to Lion, I noticed that WiFi Sync had stopped. The crucial thing for me is that I have my iMac hard wired via Ethernet. I enabled WiFi on the iMac and now I'm back to WiFi sync.

Looks like Lion acts as the router for WiFi sync, whereas Snow Leopard is normal and allows your home router to do the thinking...I suppose they'll get it right in Lion sooner or later!
