how very irritating, its now 2:30 am and i have been at this since 7pm.
i have been in and out of directories looking for drivers, shutting things down, reloading, switching cables, turning computer and phone off….absolutely nothing.
i read this and noticed my side bar was absent, i looked in the little box in the top left and kapow, there it was. under devices i found my phone, pressed sync and it was done.
this really should be the first thing apple suggests. strange it is not suggested elsewhere.
thank you so very much, i am off to sleep while the phone and the music syncs to each other!

Yea unfortunately wi-fi syncing doesn’t really work as you’d think, that’s not a bug it’s just the way it’s implemented.

My phone shows up in iTunes but none of my folders are showing. The icons appear to be all loose even though the phone itself shows the icons in folders. I just jailbroke it recently – is this normal?

I have had this happen to me, however slightly different. My iPhone would appear in iTunes only while connected with the usb cable. In other words, there was no wifi syncing, only connected syncing. The fix was to reboot my iMac. It has happened twice and I’m not sure what is causing it.
