Wi-Fi Sync Settings

[Dippybot]

Hi All

I have enabled wi-fi sync in itunes but my Ipad and Iphone still have a grey "sync now". I think it's because my firewall is blocking access. I'm using AVG Firewall. Does anyone have an idea as to what I need to enable or what ports need to be enabled for wi-fi sync to work?

If i understand correctly it must be plugged into a power source? Mine works when charging.

You can still sync manually from the ipad or, iirc, from the computer when it's on battery.

@OP - is itunes running?

Have you tried disable the firewall and sync?

I'm syncing without issues, haven't changed anything on firewall, av or router.

You can sync to iTunes while on battery, but not to iCloud.

Thanks Obama...

So you can see your devices in itunes - over wifi, not connected via usb?

Firewall AND av disabled?

Wireless sync on DEVICE options in itunes selected?

Device plugged into electrical outlet and unable to sync via settings-general-itunes wifi sync?

Just select wifi sync via itunes when device is plugged into pc or laptop. Sync once then thereafter wifi sync will work without cable.
