HT1386 I am getting the message waiting for changes to be applied on my IPhone 4

I try to sync my I Tunes with my I phone 4 and I keep getting the message waiting for changes to be applied.
What do I need to do to correct this?

If you right click on the iPhone's icon on the left of the iTunes display, you should be able to find an option to eject your iPhone.  Then connect it and start the sync again.

  • 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.

  • When trying to sync with i tunes i get the message "waiting for changes to be applied" how can i get around this

    I have restored the i pad and reinstalled i tunes' no help

    I had a similar issue in that it would proceed to backing up however when it had reached the last step it would remain frozen on "waiting for changes to be applied". I'm not sure if the source of this problem is connected to yours but what I did was quit all the apps on my computer, restarted and during the restart held 'option+command+P+R' what this does is it zaps the P-RAM which basically makes the computer forget what it remembers about the applications that were open. The computer uses some room on the RAM cards to store information about recent applications open so that when you open them the second time it does it much faster giving the illusion your computer is fast to begin with. Now this zaps that so you'll have a fresh iTunes running.. Like I said this worked for me but it may not for you but give it a try

  • When syncing my iPad with my computer I keep getting the notice ' waiting for changes to be applied '.  What is this all about ?

    When syncing my iPad with my computer I keep getting the notice ' waiting for changes to be applied '.  What is this all about ?

    If everything is working OK, I believe it simply means that the iPad and iTunes are communicating and that any changes that you made to the sync configuration are waiting to go through. If you updated apps on the iPad and they get transferred into iTunes or if you download new songs onto the iPad and they are being transferred into iTunes, any app data that moves back and forth - those would be changes that need to be applied.
    If you can't finish the sync and that's why you are asking, can you provide more specific details?

  • HT1351 My iPhone 5 will not sync music after I updated to the new iOS7. The message "waiting for changes to be applied" remains on the screen. I have restored my iPhone and reset it and nothing seems to be working.

    I even have the updated version of iTunes and I am not sure what else I am supposed to do.

    Yes, I have the exact same problem with my 4s! Updated to iOS 7 and can't sync. It's extremely frustrating, as music is crucial in my daily life.  I was able to remove all songs from my iPhone...and now when I try to sync the 4,000 or so I've selected, it will sync maybe 11 or 12 (if it gets past the "Waiting for changes to be applied" screen), and then just completely stop. No error code or anything. It just stops. It's driving me crazy.  See the following 2 links, one is a discussion I created and the 2nd is 5 or so people with the same issue.

  • My iphone 3GS no longer syncs with iTunes. The phone is recognised, backs up but then I get an error message: "Waiting for changes to be applied". BUT unlike other people, it doesn't stay stuck on it, instead the process closes down immediately

    Hi all,
    Apologies: I've just joined the community and didn't quite figure how to write a msg! Hope it works...
    Anyway,
    I read many posts on this annoying error message (Waiting for changes to be applied) in the last 2/3 days, but they all refer to the sync staying stuck on it.
    Mine doesn't.
    I read the message, then it quickly shuts down the sync and the iTunes progress bar only shows the apple...
    As suggested by many, I removed voice msgs, turned off/on, tried to sync in individual stages (calendar only...) but nothing works.
    I am up to date on iTunes (11.1.1.11) and have IOS 6.1.3 on my phone, to sync on a Win8 pc (all worked fine until recently).
    I have had this phone for several years and it has never done this.
    It worked absolutely fine, until I loaded the latest version of iTunes it seems...
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    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)

  • 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.

    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.

    I've got the same problem, but have never installed FilMIC. Looks like an iOS 5 issue. I've tried restoring the iPhone to no avail. I was going to try setting it up as a new iPhone, but that option seems to disappear after running the restore using backup. Anyone know how to get that option back?
    I plugged my phone into one of my other computers and am getting the message that there are apps on my phone that have not been transferred to the computer and that if I restore I will have to re-purchase them. Too bad my phone won't sync with the computer (as it's hung up "Waiting for changes to be applied". Ouch.

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4S Wifi Sync Problem "Waiting for Changes to be applied"

    When syncing my iPhone 4S over WiFi, I keep getting the message "Waiting for Changes to be applied", and the syncing seems to go into a endless sync of death.  When I sync my iPad, not problem at all.  Anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Resetting to Factory Default Settings, then restoring from the Cloud, sorted the problem
