I have a weird problem with WiFi Sync, between my iPhone and my MacBook.

If I connect my iPhone with cable to my Mac, then my iPhone pops up and everything seems as usual. But when I unplug the cable, my iPhone disappears from the list in Finder, even though I have enabled WiFi Sync, and even though both devices are on the same network.

I have tried restarting both devices, I have also tried other WiFi networks. No change. If I connect my iPhone with cable again, then I can see that the check mark I put in "Sync iPhone with WiFi" is not checked anymore. So it's like my Mac itself disables the feature.

The strangest thing is - My iPhone connects nicely with AirDrop, and I can also see my iPhone in CoconutBattery via WiFi. So there is connection, but why not in WiFi Sync?

Both iPhone and MacBook have been updated to the latest software.

Anyone have an idea for a solution?
