Is it possible to sync your iDevice with itunes without having the usb cable connected?

Would be very keen to know if this was possible

ok, they are both on same network, but will not sync until pc is available

and forgive my ignorance but it says

Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network

i want to know is it possible without

oh my gosh!

Connect the iDevice to the network via WiFi.
Plug it in via a cable.
Open iTunes
Tick the box that says "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
Unplug the phone, close iTunes and re-open it!

If this doesn't work then you have a problem with something else!

yep done all this, wont sync

Wouldn't that just be 2 USB cables? might as well plug it into the wall and let it wifi sync.

Can we just varify that this guy is connected to the same wireless as his pc and that by "online" he's not tryin to sync through 3G?

There is no logical reason for it not to work mate

im on same wifi as pc, and im syncing via wifi
if i plug into wall it still tells me sync will resume when pc is available
im 100% on the same wifi network

GJ02 I think your missing the concept of IOS 5 WiFi sync.

Can you see your phone in iTunes at all when it's not plugged in?

no i can't

ALL you say ?

GJ02 · 11 Dec 2011 at 21:20

dont know if that has any relevance, but icloud and photo stream works with no problems at all

Have you tried starting the sync from both iPhone and iTunes? From iPhone you can start it from Settings App -> General -> iTunes Wifi Sync -> Sync Now. I had problems with this being greyed out for a while, it seems to have fixed itself though so I'm probably not much help!

omg

just tried it now and its syncing

how very very bizzare

Very touch and go though
