Wi-Fi Sync 2.0 Public Beta

The Wi-Fi Sync 2.0 beta for Mac users is now available.

The current build is build 97, released on 09/03/2011. It won’t work unless you have previously purchased Wi-Fi Sync 1.1 from Cydia.

Wi-Fi Sync is still available on the Cydia Store, but it is no longer developed or supported. This beta release remains available for users who had problems with v1.1.

How to Install

  1. Uninstall the previous Mac client (1.1a) first, if you have it installed. Download the uninstaller here. You must reboot after uninstalling.
  2. Add the following source to Cydia, and install the Wi-Fi Sync 2.0 package: http://dl.wifisyncapp.com/apt
  3. Download the new Mac client from this link. It doesn’t come with an installer, so I recommend that you move it to /Applications.
  4. Keep checking Cydia for updates as the beta test progresses. You may also see update notifications on your Mac from time to time; I strongly recommend that you install these as quickly as possible.

Important Information

  • Wi-Fi Sync won’t automatically start when your computer boots up. If you wish to enable this, there is an option in the menu (see the top right-hand corner of the screen). This option will probably be switched on by default soon.

  • Wi-Fi Sync must be running on your Mac before you launch iTunes. If you start iTunes and then start Wi-Fi Sync, you will need to restart iTunes if you want to wirelessly sync. For this reason it is wise to enable the automatic startup feature mentioned above.
