Looking for that USB cable every single time you want to sync your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to your computer? Can’t find it?

Remember that app we reported about, Wi-Fi Sync, that claimed to enable wireless syncing for your iDevice? Remember we later reported that the app was rejected by Apple. Well, Wi-Fi Sync has made its way into the Cydia Store for jailbroken devices ($9.99).

Here’s a tutorial on how to set the app up and get wireless syncing working.

NOTE: Your iDevice must be jailbroken for this to work! Your computer and iDevice must also be on the same wireless network for this to work.

If you are using Mac OS X:

Step 1: Go to this website and download the version of Wi-Fi Sync that fits to your computer (Mac OS X 10.5 or Mac OS X 10.6)

Step 2: Install the application

Step 3: On your iDevice, open Cydia and search for Wi-Fi Sync. Purchase it and install it. There are ways to get Wi-Fi Sync for free, but we won’t go into that.

Step 4: Launch Wi-Fi Sync, which can be found on your home screen (SpringBoard)

Step 5: Wait for your iDevice to pair with your Mac and when a notification pops up on both devices, accept them both

• If your iDevice cannot find/pair with your Mac, go to System Preferences>Security>Firewall and click Advanced. From there, UNCHECK the box that says “Block all incoming connections”

If you are using Windows:

Step 1: Go to this website and download the Windows version of Wi-Fi Sync

Step 2: Install the application

Step 3: On your iDevice, open Cydia and search for Wi-Fi Sync. Purchase it and install it. There are ways to get Wi-Fi Sync for free, but we won’t go into that.

Step 4: Launch Wi-Fi Sync, which can be found on your home screen (SpringBoard)

Step 5: Wait for your iDevice to pair with your Windows computer and when a notification pops up on both devices, accept them both

• If your iDevice cannot find/pair with your Windows computer, go to Control Panel>Windows Firewall and turn the firewall off. You may configure it as you wish if you do not want to turn it off completely.

That should be it! You should now be able to sync your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad wirelessly to your Mac or PC.

Notes:

• In general, sync times did not increase. However, we did check “Disable Device Backups” which can be found in the Wi-Fi Sync preferences (click icon in menu bar or notification tray).
• This application does NOT charge your iDevice, so you still need to plug it in for that.
• You must be extremely careful when uninstalling this, making sure to do it correctly.

Cable-free syncing!
