wifi sync does not work (ios8/yosemite)

italian_user

hello,
I managed to sync my iphone ios7 maveriks in the past, after the upgrade to ios8/yosemite it does not work anymore , I tried almost everything

1 I'm in the same network, (also double checked the local ips)

2 switched to 2ghz network

3 I use dnscrypt but I disabled it and doesn't work, I also tried to set opendns on ios and doesn't work

4 disabled the osx firewall

5 disabled rich icons (read it somewhere, not sure how it's supposed to help)

6 no vpn

other ideas ?

PS the router that provides WIFI is behind the adsl router that provides connectivity (not sure whether this makes any difference)

PPS I don't use icloud / dropbox

What versions of 1Password are you using on your iPhone and Mac?

Have you tried simply:

1. disabling wifi sync on all devices, then re-enabling it; and/or
2. rebooting all devices?

Please also check your Mac name has not been secretly changed by Yosemite adding something like a "(2)" to it (go to OS X > System Preferences > Sharing to see your computer name).

If all of that fails try creating an ad hoc wifi network between your Mac and your phone and see if that works.

Thanks for the assist, @Stephen_C. Please let us know how that turns out @italian_user.

with the existing wifi network everything failed but the ad hoc wifi WORKED FLAWLESSLY, it's not a big deal to enable it so problem solved :chuffed:

Thanks!

Perfect. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you were able to narrow the problem down to your WiFi network and that you have a usable workaround. :)
