Apple Enables Wi-Fi Sync for Windows Users in iOS 5 Beta 4

Posted July 22, 2011 at 10:37pm by iClarified
Apple has enabled Wi-Fi Sync for Windows users in iOS 5 beta 4.

In iOS 5 beta 4, wireless syncing is now available on Windows as well as the Mac (requires OS X 10.6.8 or Lion). You will see an option to enable wireless syncing when you connect your device to iTunes with the USB cable. It is recommended you perform your initial sync with a cable after restoring your device.

Notes
● Wireless syncing is triggered automatically when the device is connected to power and on the same network as the paired computer. Or, you can manually trigger a sync from iTunes or from Settings -> General -> iTunes Sync (same network as paired computer required).
● If you find issues with apps, media and/or photos synced to your device, you can reset then resync. From Settings -> General -> Reset, choose Erase all Content and Settings. Then reconnect to iTunes and sync again.


Developers can now update to iOS 5 beta 4 over-the-air.

It was enabled in Beta 3, and it didn't have to be plugged in either.

It was enabled in beta 3 only for Mac. And, to activate the Wi-Fi sync, you needed to select the option from the Summary tab which can be accessed only when the phone is plugged into iTunes
