I have an iPhone 4S running the latest versions of iTunes, Lion and iOS. The iphone is set to WiFi sync via iTunes. Backup encryption is turned on. The iphone syncs fine via iTunes and does this automatically as it should whenever plugged into power or plugged directly to the computer. The iphone, however, won't automatically back up. This is regardless of whether it is plugged into power or the computer directly. The only way I can get it to back up is to manually force it by right clicking on it in iTunes and selecting backup. Does anyone know how I can get it to back up automatically and why it might not be?

I had the EXACT same problem with iTunes 10.5.1 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8). You may have noticed that your iPhone is still listed under Devices in the iTunes sidebar even after you unplug it. Eject the iPhone from iTunes as you would a regular iPod and when you reconnect it, it should start backing up again.

Thanks. That seems to have worked!
