I also am having problems syncing using Windows 7 and hope the solution to my problem also helps the above post by lawrencep.
Windows 7 32-bit does not sync to iPhone at work. Installed TR 3.1.2 at home to see if corporate locked down environment was the culprit. Windows 7 64-bit at home has same symptoms.
I follow the same steps each time:
- Open TR on PC and press iPhone icon
- Open TR on iPhone, press sync, make sure IP matches PC
- Press Continue on PC
- Press Sync Data on iPhone
- After a second, the PC stops the progress bar and shows "Syncing with iPhone. Please wait." and iPhone shows "Connecting", but nothing ever happens.
I've tried adding TR to the firewall, adding port 5000 to the firewall, and even turning off the firewall. In each case, I can ping the iPhone from the PC and the PC from the iPhone as suggested in the wiki article.
I'm not sure what to try next. Anyone had success syncing iPhone using latest version of TR running in Windows 7?
