Airport express set up gets stuck at "waiting for airport"

Hi - I have a A1264 model of airport express & macbook air is running Yosemite. I'm having trouble connecting back to my wireless network (I've had no issues with it in the past, just that I unplgged the APE & now needs resetting after plugging back into the power).
I've tried all 3 types of resets & furthest I get is it allows me to 'add to existing network" & the final step of "waiting for airport..." on the APE utility is where is gets stuck & after 10-15 seconds is says there's an error & to try again.....
Am I missing something?? thanks for any help.

Jomobco,
I actually did look at the Sonos system when I was at Magnolia purchasing my speakers. Since I already have a few AirPort Expresses set up for my bedroom and kids' playroom, I thought it might be redundant. I was thinking about the Sonos more though when I started researching the Peachtree Nova and Decco, but I was a little hesitant about spending that much more for the system....It seems like a great system, though!!

  • My iTouch keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"

    Hi, I just bought an iTouch 5 only 2 months ago and I'm having trouble because it won't sync my music. It keeps getting stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied." I have over 3000 songs and I have several playlists, it wouldn't sync all at once so I tried syncing it by playlist. It worked for a few songs and every time I add more, it just gets stuck. I've been trying to solve this for weeks now and it's stressing me out. I've read the stuff in this forum and I've tried people's solutions but I still haven't solved this problem.

  • I want to reset my Airport Express, but I get a message that my airport configuration program is too new.(mavericks).

    I want to reset my Airport Express (older version), but I get a message that my airport configuration program in mavericks is too new.

    Mavericks does not support the older AirPort Express, so you will need to use....or borrow...a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older Express.

  • How can I get my iPod to sync properly when it gets stuck on 'waiting for changes to be applied' during syncing

    My iPod gets stuck at this point every single time I sync it and it will not sync again unless I factory reset it. It also will not sync on Wifi because apparently it is 'waiting for "HP"' (is that my HP laptop? Who knows...). I am syncing on a Windows 8 laptop (since having Windows 8, I have had this issue). Google hasn't provided me with any answers.

    Same thing has been happening to me and I havent been able to find a fix. Itunes has basically rendered my phone uselsee. It wont see it, let alone sync it.

  • ITunes sync getting stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied" with the latest iTunes 11.4.0.18 and ipad2

    Downgraded to ios 7.1.2 after ios 8 disaster. Now iTunes 11.0.4.18 and windows 7 and my ipad2 will not sync. I received an error message that the sync failed to finish. I  have lost all my apps I think but that is another problem. Why won't my pad sync?

    Yes, my iPhone 5 running ios 7 will not sync in *any* way with itunes now.  I can neither add nor remove content via itunes.  I just tried to delete 100% of my music from my iphone, it hung forever on "Waiting for changes to be applied" and then when it was finally done... no changes had been applied.
    I can't add, remove, change, delete or in any way of any kind sync my iphone with itunes any longer.
    I'm becoming the person who refuses to update to the new Apple OS.  I used to get very excited about new OS updates.  That all ended around Mountain Lion.  Yesterday when I saw that Mavericks was out I wasn't excited.  Instead I felt a sense of dread, and for good reason.  Every time they release an OS in the last few years it's just a cluster-F.

  • ITunes keeps getting stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"

    The problem started last night, I can't sync music from my iTunes onto my 5th Gen iPod Touch. I follow the normal steps and it goes through the first 4 ok I persume.
    When it gets to the 5th step, which is "waiting for changes to be applied" it spends ages loading, but then doesn't want complete the sync and the music I want isn't on my iPod Touch.
    I just want some answers as to why this is happening and what can be done to solve this.
    I'm on version iOS 7.0.3  on my iPod I believe and my iTunes and iTunes 11.1.2.32
    I beleive these are the up to date versions of both, could it possibly be a glitch in the update process? Help please. Thank you.

  • Itunes always gets stuck at "waiting for sync to start" and "preparing to update"

    I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, that didn't help. I restored my ipod, that didnt help. I CANT SYNC AT ALL

    I can't see the answer as to how you fixed this. Can  you please advise? It is extremely frustrating. It was working fine for me a few weeks ago. Everything is haywire since I downloaded all of the newest softwares.

  • HT1535 ting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied" does i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on anyone know why ?

    i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be Applied" has anyone had a similar problem? and what should i do ?

    I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
    But.
    I too had a similar problem and an "error" message (waiting for changes to be applied)
    - my thoughts were:
    Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
    Corruption
    Itunes software issue
    After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
    I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
    This can be viewed when you click on your device - right up the top you'll see tabs
    SUMMARY / INFO / APPS / TONES / MUSIC / MOVIES / TV SHOWS / BOOKS / PHOTOS etc.
    I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
    Wha La!
    It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
    BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
    Hope this helps somebody.
    It certainly made my life less frustrating
    Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
    NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

  • I cant sync downloaded music to my iphone, itunes stuck at waiting for changes to be applied

    I have a iPhone 4s ios 7.0.4 and i download some mp3 songs from mp3skull.com, but when i try to sync them to my iPhone from itunes it gets stuck at waiting for changes to be applied. and the songs wont sync. PLEASE HELP

    I have had this problem and I hope this works (it did for me and I also had an iPhone 4S - 7.1.2)
    1) Plug your iPhone in to iTunes.
    2) If it automatically starts syncing click the 'X' to cancel the sync as quickly as you can.
    3) Once the Sync has cancelled, navigate to:
    'File' > 'Devices' > 'Transfer purchases from "_______ iPhone"
    4) Wait for Purchases to transfer.
    5) Update Apps on iTunes.
    6) Wait for that to finish.
    7) Try and Sync again.
    8) This time it should work.
    ----CONTINUE READING IF THIS DOESN'T WORK----
    9) Click 'Restore iPhone'
    10) Let iPhone restore (could take 20 minutes)
    11) Set up as a 'New iPhone' and sync your music.
    ----OTHER THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE YOU RESTORE----
    1) Is your iPhone running the latest software version?
    2) Is your iTunes running the latest software version?
    3) Are your songs in an unsupported File format?
    4) Are your songs corrupted?
    5) Have you transferred purchases and updated all apps on iTunes?
    -----OTHER THINGS YOU COULD DO-----
    1) Re-install iTunes (could work - probably won't but you can give it a try)
    2) Delete all music off phone (again probably won't work but you could give it a try)
    3) Re-start your phone by holding the 'Home/Touch ID' button and the lock button at the same time and hold until the Apple logo appears.
    ----NOTES-----
    Since updating to iOS 8 and iTunes 12 I haven't had this problem.  You might want to update to iOS 8.1 and iTunes 12 - this could solve the problem too.
         Thanks

  • ITunes stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"

    Here are the symptoms I'm seeing:
    - If I restore my phone, or delete/reinstall iTunes, or uncheck "Sync Music", wait for a sync to complete, recheck "Sync Music", ONE sync attempt will complete. I try adding one additional song and re-syncing the device, it gets stuck.
    - If a sync doesn't complete, it gets stuck on "Waiting for items to copy" or "Waiting for changes to be applied". Via fs_usage, it seems like nothing is happening during this phase. I've left it for two hours and it doesn't move on from this phase unless you manually cancel the sync.
    - It's manifested itself on two different phones - an iPhone 4S and a iPhone 6.
    - Each phone has enough space for the items I'm syncing
    - Sometimes iTunes or gets confused and moves the entire music library on my phone into "Other". Recently I had 42GB of "Other" on a 55GB device. See attached screenshot: http://monosnap.com/file/AaDzqWpgtNXtfTYdy8iscfTKrkZGWC
    - The problem has persisted across multiple versions of iTunes (at least versions 11 and 12)
    Here are the things I've tried to solve the problem:
    - Restore the device - as mentioned, works one time, further syncs fail
    - Turn my laptop off and on
    - Turn my phone off and on
    - Replace "iTunes Library.xml" by moving it to the Desktop and rebuilding the file (really fun as I lost all playlists, import date info and most played information by doing this)
    - uncheck Sync Music and recheck it - as mentioned above, this works one time, this method is also error prone (takes 3 or 4 canceled syncs before it decides to actually transfer the songs)
    - signed out of Apple Store
    - repair disk permissions
    - repair disk
    - trace iTunes process with fs_usage, will try dtruss next
    - remove the SyncServices/Local directory - didn't do anything
    - remove iTunes and every trace of it I could find (com.apple.itunes and related plist files) and reinstall from the Internet - I got one good sync after this and then it got stuck again.
    I would appreciate your help as I'm at wit's end here. If there are any debugging logs or further information I can post, please tell me - I'm a software engineer by trade and have a fairly good idea of how to operate a machine (though not really how to debug a closed-source binary, maybe I should learn how).
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

  • Stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"

I've tried restoring my I-Pod touch but this hasn't fixed the issue, it still gets stuck. Should I try reinstalling I-Tunes?

  • IPhone 6 stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied" when syncing.

    I got a new iPhone 6 a few days ago and I put everything onto it (music, photos, contacts, etc) with no problem from a previous iPhone backup. This morning I tried to sync my phone with iTunes and while the music is listed on the music app on the phone, NONE of it will play and every track has the square with a circle around it that shows its download progress while syncing.
    Why is this happening and how do I fix it? All I want is my entire library on my phone but it won't sync. (Also I should have plenty of room on my phone, I got the 128 GB and only have ~30 GB of music) Now on the status bar it says I have 30 GB of music and 30 GB of "other," but none of my songs will play. Also iTunes will get stuck on "Waiting For Changes to Be Applied" and won't finish syncing.
    I'm syncing a new iPhone 6 128 GB running 8.1.2 with a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.1.
    Any help fixing this problem via link or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • IPhone 5 stuck in "waiting for phone"mode

    IPhone 5 - had to do system restore - now it has shut down again and will only come up when hooked to computer -- go through system restore again and it gets stuck in "waiting for iphone" mode. Apple insignia and blank status bar showing on phone screen

        Oh no, having phone issues is no fun Normal12 but we can help get this resolved. Is the phone damaged? Is the charging port loose or damaged? Let's try a few steps, first try pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. If the screen does not wake up try this next. Try and reset the device by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears. If that doesn't work, try this. Connect iPhone via AC power and reset the device again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the home button again at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears. If that does not resolve issue, leave the device connected and let it charge for at least 15 minutes. If you continue to have issues, I recommend taking the phone to a Verizon Wireless corporate store or Apple store for evaluation and replacement options. Please keep us posted.
