Well the good news is that WLAN sync does work between 1Password 7 on a Mac and 1Password for iOS because I use that all the time. However, WLAN sync can be a little temperemental at times. Forgive me if I ask two basic questions:
- Do you have the standalone version of 1Password 7 properly installed on your Mac? For example, if you go to 1Password 7 > Preferences > WLAN Server is everything there set up as it should be, with the relevant option checked and the vault selected?
- Have you tried rebooting your Mac and your iPhone?

Hey @Bruce_Avenida! I’d be happy to help. :) Since the WLAN Server is an advanced sync method, there's only so much we can do to help with syncing, and we've gathered all our tips into a nice troubleshooting article to get you moving:
If you’re having trouble using the WLAN server
If that doesn't help, I'd suggest trying iCloud or Dropbox sync instead, or simply using a 1Password account, which is the best way to sync your devices. It's paid with a subscription, and it includes the latest version of all the 1Password apps so you don't have to worry about purchasing upgrades in the future. All your data is stored safely on 1Password.com behind a Secret Key and your Master Password so no one but you can access it. Check out this article for a bit more info about 1Password accounts.
Sync with them is seamless, and if there's ever an issue we can troubleshoot it very quickly since it's a system we built. With third-party sync services like Dropbox and iCloud, troubleshooting sync has a lot of variables, and we've tried to document them the best we can on our support website, so if you do want to troubleshoot things the best place to start would be there. I'm very happy to help you set up a 1Password account and migrate your data to it if you want to take that route. :) We've got a great article to get you started:
