ATV wont finish sync

I finally figured out my router issues, and was able to set up ATV in iTunes. That being said, I am attempting to "load / sync" my music with ATV. Granted, my 160G ATV will not hold my library of 185G+, but each time I hit sync, the ATV will take another 5 or 10 songs before automatically stopping - with no reason given. So I click the sync button again, to load another few songs before it once again stops. I have repeated this process, gaining a few songs in ATV at any given time, but when I first loaded my ATV, it was an automatic and easy process (although it took a long time to do so). At this point, I have managed to import about 24G into ATV, but thats it. I feel I am waisting my time getting only a few songs at a time.
Some background:
Hard drive failed a few months ago. Just installed new hard drive and reloaded all new system info, iTunes 8.1.1.10, Reset ATV to factory setting AND installed all new software to latest available, connected ATV to iTunes (ATV appears in devices menu). Had no issues importing 1G of photos with no interruptions.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Did you restore the iPod go factiory settings/new iPod when connected to this computer/iTunes library?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Updated to new iPhone OS and now it wont finish syncing in iTunes 11.1.2

Hi,
I updated (iPhone 4) to new iPhone OS (7.0.3) and now it wont finish syncing in iTunes 11.1.2
I wind up having to just unplug the phone.
Also - everytime I plug the phone into computer, it asks me if I should trust this computer and I say yes - but it asks every time.
Also a flag pops up saying it cant connect to an apple server. (???)
(I am running Snow Leopard)
any suggestions?
thanks

You have to update to 10.6.8 first.
Then, if your machine qualifies, this explains how to get Mavericks:

Now, try with your dock cable still connected, switch computer iTunes totally off (not running anywhere), check with your Task manager to be sure. Start iTunes again.

ITunes wont finish syncing my iPhone and iPad.

My system:
Mavericks: 10.9.4
iTunes: 11.3.1
iOS: 7.1.2
iPhone 4S
iPad Air
Today I have encountered an issue with my iPhone and iPad when syncing with iTunes. I connect my devices to iTunes and have the option selected to not allow the devices to sync automatically. After the device has shown up in iTunes, I click on sync and iTunes does it thing until it reaches the point where it waits for the changes to be applied (on iPad this is step 6 of 6 and on iPhone this is step 7 of 7). It reaches this point and then just does nothing, I get the moving status bar but the sync does not finish and I have to press the 'X' to cancel the sync and eject my device. This happens on both iPhone and iPad.
I have contacted Apple Care and they have talked me through the process of disc repair and repairing disc permission from the disk utility menu from pressing CMD and R on boot up. All this came back all OK.
The only thing that I have done to both of devices within the last few days for the first time ever, I have switched on airplane mode, I have never done this before and only had it on for a few seconds but looking through some other questions on the Apple support pages, could this have had an effect on the syncing issue I'm having?
Any help or advice on this would be great...
Many thanks...

Just wanted to update my original post with some more information.
After spending the day talking to Apple Care about this issue with syncing, sadly Apple care could not offer me much help. I was told they were not aware of any current sync problems or bugs.
I think the problem has something to do with the fact that I switched on/off Airplane mode for a very short while, I find it a little bit strange how both devices started to do the same problem straight after I switched on/off Airplane mode.
Anyhow, in the end, I had to go through the long process of fully restoring both iPhone and iPad and setting them up as new...

IPod iOS5 wont finish sync and more.

I have been having trouble ever since I decided to update to iOS5. I have had many problems from not being able to get my music to not being able to get wifi sync working. I have currently got all of my problems working after 4 whole days but I just cannot solve the problem for not finishing the sync. I will start the sync and it begins doing its normal things.. backing up, adding music, etc. then at the tail end when you think your finally done, it display's this:
It is so annoying! It happen's every single time. I have tried everything (from the previous troubleshooting I had to do). I have restored ipod twice, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, rebooted laptop and ipod. I have lost all hope. Please help.

So I found the solution out today finally. It has to do with Voice Memos (or atleast in my case). I had to remove the voice memos from my ipod and then resync them back. It now works.
Here's a link to a tutorial: http://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2011/10/21/my-resolution-to-ios-5-waiting-for-it ems-to-copy-sync-issue/

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.

Downloaded a app and it wont finish loading i turned it on and off and got on itunes what should i do

downloaded skee-ball free app and it wont finish loading i restarted my phone, and tried to redownload it and got on itunes...it wont work i just want to delete it any solutions???

Does "got on iTunes" include downloading the app with iTunes on your computer?
If so, have you tried installing the app on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process followed by deselecting the app under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by another sync to remove the app from your iPhone?

ITunes wont wifi sync with 3GS

itunes wont wifi sync with 3GS

Do you have Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.1?
If you have see below:
1. Connect iPhone to Mac with the cable.
2. Mac iTunes: Select your device then click the Summary Tab.
3. Checked the Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi.
4. Click Sync button at the bottom right.
5. When finished Syncing, DO NOT click the eject icon next to your device name.
Just detach the cable from your iPhone.
If successful, you can still see on the left pane in iTunes your iPhone device (even though no cable is connected).
If that's the case, every time you plug into a power supply, it will sync automatically.
Otherwise you can sync manually on your iPhone. Tap Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync: Tab Sync How button.

When I sync my iPad it gets stuck on "Finishing sync" for hours, do you think it's just a case of clicking on "restore" ? , Thanks

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.

My mac mini v10.6.8 wont finish installation of update Yosemite and now im stock at boot :( Please help!!

My mac mini v10.6.8 wont finish installation of update Yosemite and now im stock at boot Please help!!

Try stating in Safe Mode:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Next try reinstalling Yosemite by:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.
