I'm trying to get my iPhone 4S to sync with iTunes over WiFi.

Just a thought, that eats your battery alive, many people have disabled that option, for me well I don't need to sync from the lounge to the study, seems a bit daft

I've not noticed any impact on battery life.

Fortunately I didn't have any issues getting it enabled on my phone/pc. PC is W7 64bit with just the windows firewall.

Besides, if you've got it plugged into power, the battery isn't an issue. I just wanted to get it to work, as it's supposed to, and I didn't want to be defeated.

I think the home sharing/airplay is probably more worth while .

How do you get home sharing working on iPhone with iOS5 on ?

I have home sharing enabled on my iTunes and when I load the music app on my phone and touch the more menu, there is no shared option

Never mind, got it working now.. Had to reboot the phone

WiFi syncing is still spasmodic for me - first time I booted the PC up this afternoon, it worked fine, but now, iTunes won't see the phone again.

Sorry Paul , I just ensure that I've enabled home sharing with the same Apple ID on computer and IOS device I'm not sure whether the max no of 5 computers for a single Apple ID covers IOS devices.

Simon I did find that if I ejected the wifi connected phone twice in iTunes I had to use the cable to get WiFi enabled again.

It enabled again after a PC reboot.
