I can't sync eWallet for Android, iPhone, or iPad with my Mac using Wi-Fi!

If you are having trouble syncing between eWallet^® on your iPhone, iPad or Android device and your Mac using local Wi-Fi network, there are a few things you can to do help troubleshoot your Wi-Fi synchronization problems (alternatively, you can use eWallet’s cloud sync).

eWallet’s direct synchronization with Android and Apple mobile devices works over a local Wi-Fi connection between your Mac and your mobile device. If your computer connects to your wireless router with an Ethernet cable, you should still be able to sync. You cannot sync via USB.

Since the sync process works using a network connection, anything that disrupts the network connection between your Mac and your mobile device could prevent you from syncing.

If eWallet for macOS cannot find your Android device, iPhone, or iPad, or if it cannot connect after detecting it:

On macOS Sequoia 15 and later, open the System Settings app and select “Privacy & Security”. Find “Local Network” in the list and click on it to open it. On the screen that opens, find “eWallet” in the list and make sure it is enabled (the switch at the right should be in the ON position).
Be sure to add Exceptions or Rules to your firewall/antivirus to Allow Bonjour and eWallet to pass through. (See here for a list of ports to allow.)
Reboot your Wi-Fi router or access point, and THEN your Mac and mobile device. Verify that your device has re-connected with your network and not another one nearby.
If you have an existing Android or iPhone/iPad Sync Location in the desktop eWallet Setup, remove it, and then run Sync Setup again, starting on the mobile device FIRST.

Also, be sure you have the latest versions of eWallet on both your Mac and your mobile device.

If you are still having trouble:
