I won't be using sync over WiFi, so this is a guess.
My read of the instructions is that it needs to be plugged in to an external power source for it to activate this feature. Plug it into the power adapter or a docking station that is not connected to your computer.
Or turn off the feature in iTunes to automatically open iTunes when you connect the iPhone.
My guess is that when it is connected to the computer and iTunes is open, that overrides the sync over WiFi, and it will not sync.

On my 3GS running iOS 5, under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync it
clearly says
"Automatically sync with iTunes on your computer when your iPhone is plugged
in to power and connected to Wi-Fi."
What's the point when you have to connect via cable (for power) anyway?

You do not have to connect to a computer for power. You can use any portable
power source. For instance, I have a ZAGGSPARQ 2 that I can use to recharge
the iPhone and I can do wifi sync from anywhere in the house when plugged
into it.

Re: Question 1: Why a new email address?

Often, you can sign into the account with the non-existent email and correct passwords. Then change the email to a current eddy.
If you forgot the password or need to reply to a email sent to the non-existent email, then you are SOL. Unless the user name is again available from that email provider, like say a very old Yahoo account, where the user name is finally re-released.
Since hotmail has not closed to my knowledge, you're safe. If it is a regional provider that has closed, then I would change it asap.

Thanks, Bill. I unchecked everything, but I�m still getting that same problem � stuck on step 7 of 7: "waiting for items to copy�. I�m thinking I should probably just restore to factory settings next and hope for the best, right?

If it won't complete syncing even when you aren't trying to sync anything
then yeah, I would restore the iPhone and clear the iTunes caches.

Thanks again, Bill. I'll give that a try later. Meanwhile, is there a way to permanently disable wifi sync? I've come to the conclusion that I don't really need/want this, but I can't figure out how to turn it off.
Tara, I know it doesn't help, but I certainly feel better knowing that I'm not the only one. ;)

I've been canceling the sync in iTunes after the new stuff(recently purchased stuff) is on my phone. Not the ideal situation but seems to be working. My son's iPad that has been updated, has no problem with completing the sync.

But when I sync it to iTunes, it still reads my last back up to iCloud was when I did it manually. How do you set it to backup automatically?

It backs every 24+ hours, on a WiFi network, plugged in, and locked (not
being used) - under those conditions they assume that everyone leaves their
phone turned on, plugged in, and connected to WiFi at night or more
accurately while they are sleeping. Very few of us meet all of those
conditions, so there is a manual backup or some people may prefer to backup
to iTunes when they sync and occasionally do a manual iCloud backup, etc.
The same conditions apply for WiFi syncing (plugged in, locked, on WiFi),
which is why you can manually start it from either your computer or the
phone.

Ok thanks. By plugged in, do you mean plugged into the computer via USB cable, or just plugged into a wall outlet? Or is it either one?

Immediately below the sliders (buttons) is your answer, right in Settings.
"Automatically download new purchases (including free) made on other devices."
So if you make a iTunes purchase on your computer or iPad, is it automatically downloaded on your iPhone, assuming it can be used on the iPhone.

You don't want your voicemail kept on a server on the web or have to pay for it, but you will keep your contact on a web server?
Hmm? And for free! Hmm, someone recently said that if you are not paying for a service, you are not the customer, but the product. (This can be applied to just about any social networking service, also. They want you to give them new contacts to market.)
BTW, Apple has provided this service since before the iPhone, it has been called Mac.com, MobileMe and now iCloud. Or did you chose not to purchase an account before. Well, iCloud is now free.
I apologize for sounding snarky, but you have me confused with this inconsistency. I understand that free is nice, but then I question the security of your information. Most voicemail would not include sensitive information, but my contact information I try to keep secure and private.

He could lower his text plan if he'd upgrade. He complains about notifications getting in the way when he's doing stuff on his phone. The banner notifications in iOS 5 don't get in the way. He said the wifi syncing would get him to sync more too. He's already upgraded his computer to 10.7.2 and upgraded his iTunes. He said everything is working fine.

I have a 3gs, having problems connecting to internet through router. My
PC is connected wireless, but my Phone which has been connected till
now, will not connect. I have a 26 digit wep key but the phone will not
accept it. Keep getting password incorrect window. The box that pops up
when I go to connect just asks for a password, I thought it used to say
enter key. I have tried every password I have ever used to no avail.
Tried the wep key many times also just to be sure I was entering right
numbers. No explanation on phone as to WHY it is the wrong password.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Well...after recommending it earlier, I've now discovered that Ribbit is dead. No more. Swimming with the fishes. sigh.
Me thinks there was no updating to OS 5 on the iPhone mobile end of things....
I used Ribbit as a digital machine...i checked my messages without using my minutes to do so....it also transcribed them for me.
Are there any other solutions? I use google for another number and don't want to mix the two.
Thanks!!

How Apple's A5 Chip and iOS 5 Will Change Mobile Gaming
Posted by: "Bill Boulware" bill.boulware@gmail.com boulware0224
Sun Oct 23, 2011 5:27 pm (PDT)
Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: How Apple's A5 Chip
and iOS 5 Will Change Mobile Gaming via Wired: Gadget Lab by Christina
Bonnington on 10/23/11
A screenshot of Infinity Blade II on the iPhone 4S illustrates the fine
graphical detail enabled by Apple's A5 processor. Image: ChAIR
Entertainment
If the last two weeks of mainstream press coverage are to be believed,
the only relevant features in Apple's new iPhone 4S are Siri, the
phone's remarkable digital assistant, and the new 8-megapixel camera,
which delivers near point-and-shoot image quality to Apple's mobile
platform.
But there's one other feature that's largely been ignored, even though
it too was demoed at the iPhone 4S debut: Apple's A5 processor, which
grants exciting new opportunities for iOS game developers.
The 1GHz dual-core A5, along with various aspects of iOS 5, have the
potential to seriously supercharge gaming on both the iPhone 4S and
iPad 2 (which uses the chip too). At Apple's iPhone 4S launch event, we
were shown a demo of Infinity Blade II, and its graphics were
impressive enough to wow even jaded console enthusiasts and PC gamers.
In your curiosity duly piqued? Here are some of the virtual
sword-clashing, adventure-questing and strategy-pondering improvements
we can look forward to as game developers explore (and hopefully
implement) Apple's latest updates.
7X Graphics Power for Fancier Rendering Effects
Smartphones and tablets are great gaming platforms, but they have
typically placed us in graphically simple visual environments (think
Angry Birds or Scrabble). But now that Apple's A5 processor is
available in both iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S, game developers can go hog
wild in designing graphically intense 3D worlds for iOS, confident of a
growing installed base of Apple's fastest mobile chip.
As Perry Tam, CEO of iOS gaming company Storm8 told us, the A5
processor will "certainly help remove some restrictions for developing
games that demand more CPU power."
According to Apple, its A5 processor delivers CPU performance twice as
fast as its previous chip, along with seven times faster graphics
processing — and all without additional battery life penalties.
"The A5 chip is very, very fast," says Donald Mustard, creative
director at ChAIR Entertainment, the Epics Games studio that developed
Infinity Blade II. "[Game developers] love power. Extra power allows us
to do more of everything."
That "everything" includes high-end rendering techniques. At Apple's
iPhone event, Mike Capps of Epic Games said some of these techniques
aren't even used in top-line gaming consoles. For example, the A5 chip
allows Infinity Blade II to include insanely detailed graphical
flourishes, such as light rays shining through trees, character shadows
cast on the game environment, koi swimming in a pond, and individual
dandelions blowing in the wind.
The increased processing power enables richer, more cinematic gaming
experiences, bringing iOS gaming much closer to what you'll find on
consoles, if not gaming PCs. Indeed, now it would seem that touch-based
game control, and not graphics firepower, is the primary hurdle
preventing iOS devices from becoming ideal platforms for shooters and
other action games.
iCloud Delivers Seamless Gameplay Narratives
"iOS 5 is really slick," Mustard says. "The best thing it offers to
developers is iCloud."
Mustard described how he was playing Infinity Blade II on an iPad 2.
His character had just finished a fight, and picked up a sword that had
fallen on the ground. Mustard then opened up Infinity Blade II on his
iPhone 4S — and began playing the game exactly where he had just left
off, his character with sword in hand.
"Seamless syncing across devices is a huge thing for gaming," Mustard
says. The iCloud feature enables users to effortlessly transition a
game-in-progress from one iOS 5 device to another, allowing for an
uninterrupted gameplay narrative as they move from, say, their subway
seat to their couch, or even from room to room.
iCloud offers other unique benefits that game developers can begin
coding for in updates and new titles. In Infinity Blade II, for
example, users will find a new community-based gameplay mode called
Clash Mobs.
It works like this: You get a notification that a big monster is
available to fight for the next 24 hours. The monster is loaded with 1
million hit points. You fight him, knocking off 10,000 of his hit
points. The monster now has 990,000 hit points. Thousands (if not
millions) of other gamers take their hacks at the same bad guy, and
together you work in concert to take him down, unlocking weapons and
other features.
But that's just one example of crowd-sourced gameplay. Other
group-based challenges could be incorporated in a wide variety of games
and game types. Just as the original iPhone's accelerometer gave us the
entirely new genre of physics-based gaming, we should expect developers
to respond to iCloud with similar innovation in community-based gaming
— leading to novel new modes of play we can't yet imagine.
A New Twist in Turn-Based Gaming
Asynchronous turn-based gaming: It's a fussy phrase that describes
something quite simple. In effect, iOS 5 lets you play turn-based games
against friends in a non-live, non-real-time environment. In iOS 4,
both players had to have their apps running at the same time to, say,
play a game of chess. But now, thanks to asynchronous turn-based gaming
support, you can play all variety of turn-based games at a much more
leisurely, convenient pace.
After you play your turn, a push notification is automatically sent to
your competitor — who can act immediately, or pick up the game when
time allows. And via the iOS Game Center app, which was added in iOS 4,
players can manage multiple games-in-progress to keep up with the
action (or whatever passes for action in the asynchronous turn-based
gaming paradigm).
"The ability to play turn-based games asynchronously with your friend
via Game Center in iOS 5 makes mobile social gaming even more
convenient on mobile devices, which people tend to pick up and put down
throughout the day," says Tam, whose company developed a turn-based
game called Cannon Ball, pictured here.
"Turn-based games used to require a separate infrastructure that cost
the developer time and money," Tam says. "iOS 5 takes care of that for
you."
And that means developers can spend more time creating rich,
well-designed gaming experiences with more creative twists.
Connecting With Friends
iOS 5 makes it easier for you to discover new games in Apple's Game
Center by exposing the preferences of your trusted confidantes.
Specifically, Game Center can now make recommendations based on what
your friends (and non-friend competitors) are playing. iOS 5 users can
also connect with friends of friends without knowing their email
addresses or nicknames.
Players can now also download games directly from Game Center if they
see one of their friends is playing a game they don't already have.
Before, you had to exit Game Center and go find the game in the App
Store.
"This is a major benefit to developers because it makes it that much
easier for people to get involved with a new game," Tam said.
The Overarching Upshot: More Games, More Updates
Platform updates always pose a challenge to game developers: Should
they start coding their games for the new hardware and software,
confidant of an enthusiastic (and large) installed base? For that
matter, should they go back and update previous versions of popular
titles, if only to take advantage of a few new features?
Tam believes that as developers get more familiar with what iOS 5 and
the A5 have to offer, we'll see a lot more games that incorporate these
new features. In fact, says Tam, updating a game to take advantage of
these features, or even creating a new game from scratch, is "very easy
to do."
Easy: It's a relative term. Nothing about the graphics of Infinity
Blade II looks that "easy" to pull off. But one thing's for sure:
Apple's latest hardware and software updates are great news for mobile
gamers, and the pressure is on developers to innovate.
