  • Potential fix for "Waiting for items to copy" & "Waiting for changes to be applied" issue

    Ever since I installed iOS7 on my 5th gen iPod Touch I've been unable to complete a sync without getting stuck for upwards of an hour on the "Waiting for items to copy" or "Waiting for changes to be applied" steps.  However, today I finally pieced together the most useful bits of info from around these forums in conjunction with what my iTunes was doing into a potential two-step fix. 
    The first sync I did took about 45 minutes (and I wasn't even adding any music or apps; I just wanted to update some album info that iTunes messed up).  However, during the lengthy "Waiting for items to copy" step, I happened to glance up just in time to see that iTunes was trying to copy literally thousands of Genius items that entire time.  So all I did was go to Store > Turn Off Genius, and then--for added measure--Reset Sync History from Edit > Preferences > Devices tab.  Hit Sync again, and for the first time since updating to iOS7 did it take less than a couple of minutes!  Now every sync only takes a matter of seconds, as it should.  Hope that helps at least some of you out there.
    By the way, this was on a PC running Windows 7, iTunes 11.1.4.62, and iOS 7.0.4 on a 5th gen iPod Touch.

  • When syncing after recent update, sync is stuck at "Step 4 of 4" "Waiting for changes to be applied" and will not complete, even after hours.  How can this be fixed?

    I completed the most recent software update for both iTunes and iPhone recently.  I am now trying to sync my iPhone to add newly purchased audiobooks and the sync remains stuck at "Step 4 of 4" with the message "Waiting for changes to be applied"  I have tried everything to correct this.  When sync is cancelled a failure to sync message is generated.  Any ideas????

    Alright, so I reset my computer and suddenly it then recovered. Other times it wouldn't recover after resetting the computer, so I have no idea how it happened. I just restarted the computer lots of time and finally it worked.
    Okay, back to square one. Now to transfer music, I tried my previous acknowledgable solutions but they didn't work. The iPod touch does not feature a hard-disk mode, and windows media player doesn't support iPods.
    I've tried multiple programs to transfer music but none of them work properly and keep giving me error codes. So my iPod still gets stuck at Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied or whatever it said.
    Thanks in advance ._. (Please help)
    p.s - Apple is useless. If I don't get steady answers tomorrow I'm going to end up calling them and get this problem fixed first hand. Second hand? I don't know, over the **** phone.

    Did you:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Have you tried on another computer?

  • Iphone 4s not syncing to iTunes *waiting for changes to be applied*

    I have a brand new iphone 4s that wouldnt sync with my pc desktop and i recently got a new mbp and the same thing is happening an error keeps popping up in Itunes after the 2nd step of syncing and it says waiting for changes to be applied. Its really frustrating i restored my phone and it did nothing for the syncing just deleted all my apps...and ive researched these problem before and its obvioius a big occurance with other users and apple has done nothing?!?! wth !! and i have no voice memos on my phone so there is nothing to delete for those that have solved their issue that way....So if someone has a solution to help me sync my iphone 4s to my mbp i would greatly appreciate since obviously apple does not care to fix this issue!!!! terrible..

    also tried to wifi sync and nothing ...

  • Can't sync with new iTunes..whe syncing it stays on step 5 "waiting for changes to be applied"

    So I downloaded the new iTunes and iPhone update a couple of days ago since then I have not been able to sync properly.
    -Initially it said that my was over storage so I removed about half of my library.  Which was odd because initially it told me i was 158mb over then I deleted about 10 albums and I was still 32mb over.
    -After I brought it down to under the storage level...I went to sync it, it would go all of the way through then be stuck on the last step and it would say "waiting for changes to be applied" after 5 minutes of that I would get a message that would pop up that says "The iphone could not be synced because the sync failed".
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I've been having the same problem. It would either get stuck at "Waiting for changes to be applied" or "Waiting for items to copy". My last successful sync was on 10/15. Tried a number of times either via wifi or direct connect.
    Solved it in the following fashion:
    Connected the phone to the computer via Lightning cable.
    My phone was set to back-up to iCloud. Changed that setting to back up to the computer.
    Unchecked the "Sync Music" option under the music tab.
    Hit apply.
    After a wait - the back-up completed and all the music was removed from my phone.
    Once it was done, re-checked "Sync Music" - it got past "Waiting for Changes to be Applied" at this point.

  • Solution: Syncing with my iTunes library an endless headache: Songs don't transfer, or songs transfer and show up as "other," or I get double copies, or "Over Capacity," or stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied."

    iPod Touch 5g, 64GB, iOS 7.1. After my iPod data began showing up "Other," after an abrupt disconnection from iTunes during a sync I've spent the last week trying to fix it only to be thwarted at every attempt.  I've tried resetting and restoring 6 or 7 times now, and all goes well until it gets to copying my library of music over.  What I finally figured out is that 8,000+ songs is too many for iTunes to process all at once for some reason. 
    After several nights of leaving it connected all night I would find that the songs had physically copied and were occupying the ~45 gb of space on my iPod's storage, but were not showing up on my local library, instead listed as "Other" in iTunes and otherwise unusuable, or they would show up, but I'd have ~45 gigs of "Other," 45 gigs of "Audio," and would be "Over Capacity," by 30 gigs or so.  OR it would be "Waiting for Changes to be Applied," for 12+ hours.
    My work around:  In iTunes, under the "Music" / "Sync Music" tab, instead of syncing "Entire Music Library," select "Selected Playlists, Artists, Albums, and Genres."  You will have to indivually select the playlists, artists, albums, or genres and kept each bulk tansfer to <2000 songs at a time.  The easiest way for me to do this was by selecting one genre at a time and copying it over.  I had already taken the time to organize my library into 10 genres, you probably have more than 10.  This is irritating and time consuming, but it's better than resetting my iPod over and over and over again to no avail.
    Waiting for Changes? What iTunes is actually doing when it says it is "Waiting for Changes," or "Waiting for Items to Copy."  iTunes for whatever reason does not reveal the relevent data being processed during a sync (didn't it used to?), but there are a couple ways you can decipher what it is actually up to.  The first option is on the iPod; under Settings>General>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync it will tell you what it is up to during syncing.  The other way on the iPod; under Music>Songs, scroll all the way to the bottom to see where it is at in the process.  What iTunes, iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, and the bottom of the Songs library report are not always in agreement, but seeing all three will give you a better approximation of where you are in the syncing process and whether or not it is hanging.
    This for me was successful as a workaround, but this is not a solution.  Apple needs to fix this crap.  Maybe they just want to make it so difficult to have a physical library of music on the local storage of the iPod that we will just give up and sign up for their Match service.

    ALSO, on the iPod under Settings>General>iTunes Sync, you may need to back out of the "iTunes Wi-fi Sync," and reopen it to get it to update.
    (I use iTunes 11.1.5.5)

  • Itunes sync stuck on waiting for changes to be applied

    I recently updated itunes to version 12.0.1.26.  I have an Iphone 5 - with ios 8.1.1.
    When I tried to sync my iphone to itunes, it constantly gets stuck on "step 6 of 6 - waiting for changes to be applied"
    The only songs I now have access to on my iphone are songs I have downloaded through itunes - none of the music I previously had on my phone from CDs or other sources.  It also made my videos unaccessable.
    I am really frustrated as I have spent hours trying to fix this.  Every time I update my itunes I have a different problem.  I have read many other questions with the same issue over the years - but there never seems to be an answer or solution.
    Thanks in advance for help!

    I really don't appreciate the fact that no one from Apple seems to be dealing with the many, many threads that have started on this topic since iOS 7 came out. In any event, I seem to have solved my problem with a full software restoration -- that is, iOS software restoration.
    I clicked on "Restore iPhone..." which does a complete reinstall of the iOS but also all apps, photos, songs, etc. Took about 45 minutes, but seems to have worked.
    I had previously tried reverting to a backup of my iPhone, but that did not solve the problem. Only a full restore solved it.

  • Trying to transfer purchases from my 3gs onto a new PC (Vista).  Keep getting the message "Waiting for changes to be applied".  HELP!

    Using the latest version of iTunes and iOS5 on my iPhone.  Backup of the iphone seems to work fine.  My old PC died and I want to transfer my apps to my new PC.  But when I start Transfer purchases from my iPhone, it just keeps giving the message "Waiting for changes to be applied" and doesn't do anything.  I'm getting worried as I have an iPhone 4s coming and I want to move my 3gs stuff over to my new phone.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back when I switched computers and migrated.  Here's what worked on my iMac, so maybe it'll work on your iPad, too.  Go to User(your home folder)/Music.  Select/highlight your "Music" folder.  Then do Command-I ("Get Info" from the File menu), click on the padlock icon in the lower right of the new window.  Enter your user password.  Click on your username just above the now-open padlock.  Select "Read & Write" if it's on "Read Only," "Write Only," or "No Access."  Now having your user account with "Read & Write" privileges (it may have been this way already; still do this next step), click on the gear on the bottom-center of that window.  Click on "Apply to all enclosed items."  When the pop-up says "Are you sure?" (or the equivalent), say "yes."  This will grant access privileges to your user account for all the music files inside your music folder--all your iTunes stuff included).  Then you should be good to go.

  • IPad syncing hangup: "waiting for changes to be applied"

    When I choose to sync my ipad 1 (latest OS 5.01) with my itunes (latest Lion 10.7.2)  it goes through 6 steps of 7  and then the seventh step of 7 says "waiting for changes to be applied".  I have left that step on over15 hours and it never moves on the say sinc complete.  In the meantine all 3200 of my songs in itunes on my ipad have disappeared.  I selected to do my syncing thru iCloud.  Is that my mistake?  Do I have to reset my ipad and will I lose thousands of pictures, songs and aps if I do?
    I think I am begining to hate iCloud.

    I have tried about everything and nothing works and apple support is like going to Microsoft support.
    here in communities its not that ez to get back to where I was. I have found many threads and comments about this and nobody seems really thrilled about the fix and the folks that help here are baffled about it too. I have tried posting with this problem 3-4 times already and no responses -so I think this is an unresolvable problem which makes my ipad unusable since I cannot add music or movies or tv shows to it.
    I like others have spent hours on this--already tried reset a few times and 2 restores but the problem comes back.
    and it includes the bar below where it shows different things using up space including a fast increasing "other" category.
    there is a software issue.
    by the way, the new io8 o whatever it is? using safari has become cumbersome because the bookmarks stay on left side of screen taking up valuable space--that can be fixed by tapping on the bookmark logo, only after you scroll back up--bring back the old way.
    in addition as long as I am venting, all of a sudden I am getting, while using safari, pop up ads galore tied somehow to google.
    apple is losing its competitive advantage.
    I'll have to try adding a book or a new app to see if I can add those--if not, I'll have to give up on apple for tablets.

  • HT1386 i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"?

    i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"? so i dont know what to do cause i just want to sync my music from itunes to my iphone 4s

    I had the same problem and the fix was so easy that I felt a little silly after spending 2 hours with an Apple Technician.  At the end of it all, what I had to do was make sure ALL music was deleted from my iPhone 5 by going into usage and clearing out the music folder.  All I had to do then was turn my phone off and turn it back on again.  I had not done this after my phone upgraded to the new 7.0 IOS.   What's the first thing you do when experiencing computer problems?  Reboot!   It fixed my problem and now my iPhone 5 synchs perfectly when I had it connected to my computer.  I am also on iTunes version 11.1.

  • 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.

  • Hi, I finally got lucky and past the "other" memory status issues when syncing. Now I'm "waiting for changes to be applied" sync stuck all night (itunes yesomite iPhone 6 plus). is this a bug? I have not had a single successful sync with yesomite.

    hi, I finally got lucky and past the "other" memory status issues when syncing. Now I'm "waiting for changes to be applied" sync stuck all night (itunes yesomite iPhone 6 plus). is this a bug? I have not had a single successful sync with yesomite.
    please help. this issue prevents music from syncing. I have set the sync setting to convert songs to 192kbps AAC to save space, I figure that could slow the sync
    down, but it's hanging indefinitely (I've left it for 24 hours with out it completing.)
    the the only music that appears on the phone are songs purchased from the iTunes Store. 95% of my collection are rips from my CDs.
    thank you for any help!

    Yeah it's pretty sad that $1000 phone they put out you such cheap memory It causes issues, I have iPhone 6+128 GB actually this is the second brand-new one they gave me because they keep affording it trying to act like that's not the issue because they're too stupid to know how to check what memory is in each one before they give it to me when I have told them multiple times my back up runs perfectly fine on two 5s phones and a 6 64GB of course running MLC memory.
    I told them it's because just like the write ups say I have 809 apps but I have not even put all my music on the phone so I'm still running 50 to 60 gigs free and it crashes and reboots itself sometimes in multitasking and more often than it does that in between multitasking I get a black screen for 1 to 2 seconds in between apps and upon start up the Apple logo screen will flicker and do weird things, One of the genius idiots asked me if I could just delete some of my apps, really that's the answer to fix the phone the customer needs to limit the amount to apps they put on their phone, why the **** get a 128 gig if you can't put on anything you want to it guess they need to start selling them saying you can only put a limited number of apps on them, it's really is a **** joke, I have over $20,000 of Apple merchandise easily and always get the new phone every year but I'm starting to reconsider my decisions in the future because this company is starting to go downhill, The reason water not recalling the phones is because they're dealing with their top-of-the-line thousand dollar phones in this case and most people don't have over two or 300 apps so they're not having as many issues, so basically they have messed up phones they just don't know it in their hands and Apple is just too **** greedy to recall the phones, they'd rather sell customer spends that only work half ***.
    Stuff like this will be the downfall of their company, all the people that stay with them because as long as you don't jailbreak their stuff it normally just works without issue will be soon jumping ship if stuff like this keeps up, because I can guarantee they got me thinking now.
    not that I wanted to know or should I be expected to but I even offered for them to open up my brand-new phone and just replace the memory to MLC memory which is something I shouldn't have to do with a brand-new **** phone, they should just make one with the right memory and give me a new phone, actually just don't sell customers that buy the top-of-the-line phone from you trash ones in the first place that would be a great option.
    what burns me up the most is when you talk to AppleCare and Genius Bar they try to act like the issue isn't there and they're unaware of it, they say that Apple hasn't come out with any information about it, yeah that's because they don't want to recall the trash.
    Apple has became nothing better than your run-of-the-mill company, android is becoming just as good as they are sad to say this since I have been an Apple fan for so long but there is no excuse for BS like this they have been looking for options to fix my phone for a month now this is not the way you should treat loyal customers, I would've been better off keeping my 5S and in the future just switching to android.
    it's pretty sad that the company has no idea how to check which memory is in their **** phone and even after I offered to let them just replace the memory in my new phone by opening up my brand-new phone to replace it they have no idea how to do that either, yeah Genius Bar sure, I think that should change the name to idiot bar and Apple don't care instead of Apple care.
