iTunes Wi-Fi Sync via computer-to-computer network?

[poiihy]

Is it at all possible to wirelessly sync an iPhone without an internet connection? It doesn't support Bluetooth at all, but it can sync over wifi. So I tried connecting the iPhone to Mac using a “computer-to-computer” network, but the sync didn't work.

“computer-to-computer” network

Not sure I understand. You do not have a home network with a router or other device that supplies IP addresses? That should work (haven't tried) even without internet address.

iTunes Wi-Fi (Bonjour) drivers recuire WLAN network to work, and it should work even without the internet connection. You just need a working Wi-Fi router and that both computer and device would be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Also just in case here's the guide from Apple.

In the Wi-Fi menu there's an option to create a computer-to-computer (aka ad-hoc) network

It works for direct-connecting in games and such. But apparently it doesn't work with iTunes wifi sync

I just wanted to know of a way to sync with nothing but the two devices. But unsurprisingly it isn't possible. They could have let you use Bluetooth or make it work on an ad-hoc network. But nope.

No ad-hoc networks won't work, unfortunately. Only WLAN.
