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

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.

Ipad synce stuck on Waiting for changes to be applied

I have an ipad Mini running on IOS8. A Mac book Air running on OS X 10.9.5.
For hours and hours I have been trying to synce my iPad, and syncing is stuck on "Waiting for Changes to be applied"
I spent time restoring the full iPad, erased everything, put it back again...still stuck over and over again....
And now the good news is : THere is no song left on my iPad > Nothing I lost everything.
It have looked in this blog, it seems that people have been suffering on this issue for months and months.
I was about to buy the iPhone6...but frankly, Apple products =yncing is becoming a nightmare.
please APPLE do sometihng about, fix it NOW if you want people to purchase your products. The very reason why Apple WAS so successful was because of the simplicity. All this is gone now. Now you need to become an IT expert and spend hours getting into the systems to fix this or that yourself.
Please apple DO SOMETHING NOW QUICK.

IOS 7 stuck on waiting for changes to be applied

ever since iOS 7, my phone won't sync with iTunes. I've updated my iTunes but it is stuck on 'waiting for changes to be applied'. People suggested unchecking the sync music box then rechecking. I did that but it didn't help. I now have no music and it will not go back on

My itunes wouldn't sync my videos on to the ipad and the progress got up to "waiting for changes to be applied". I've tried a lot of things including:
Restart Computer
Delete voice memos
Close all active apps
Restore iPad
This has done nothing to help.

Stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"

Bought some new songs on I-Tunes, when I connect any of my I-Pods (we have a Touch, Nano and an older Classic 32G) to sync the songs it gets 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?

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.

IPod Stuck On "Waiting For Changes To Be Applied"

Hello guys,
I put a handful of CDs on my computer recently and I do want them on my iPod. Unfortunately, in the last two times I have tried, the bar simply gets stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied". It will not budge nor go any further.
I'm running iOS 5.1.1 on my iPod touch 4, and I also have quite an extensive library to my definition. This has never been an issue, though.
Help?

IPhone 4 w/iOS 5 stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied" any solutions?

So far I'm loving iOS 5 on my iPhone 4. Most everything is working great except for the fact that when I sync my phone it gets stuck on the final part of the sync (which was never part of the sync steps in the past) "waiting for changes to be applied." It happens anytime I make the iPhone sync: Transferring purchases, backing up, or making new changes like adding songs or apps.
So far I've just cancelled out of it and it's usually put everything I had synced onto it. But why does it get stuck on this? Has anyone else noticed this on their iOS devices?

I had the same problem. I updated yesterday, and ended up leaving the phone plugged in overnight, only to wake up in the morning and find it still "waiting for changes to be applied." One website suggested doing this inside the phone:
(Settings>General>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync), and CANCEL/TURN OFF the sync.
I found that for the first sync, or reboot of your iPhone after the iOS 5 and iTunes 5 updates, it's better to do that straight through USB and not over WiFi at all.
I was trying to do it that way, BUT even though I did indicate that on iTunes, the phone was still set to sync over WiFi until I disabled it as described above. My thought is that it was trying to do both, or something like that and could get past it. I hope this helps some of you. After you've done that, it would make sense to sync again straight through USB. Now, my sync takes a minute or two.

IPhone 6 won't sync-- stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied"

New iPhone 6, wouldn't sync to iTunes in Windows 7. made it to "waiting for changes to be applied" and would go no further. left it overnight, even.
This morning, I went through the steps detailed in other troubleshooting threads (signing out of iTunes store, rebooting phone, restarting iTunes, getting to that same step and ending sync by clicking the x) and it started syncing!
But... I have the 128G iPhone, and I needed to leave for work. 90 minutes into the sync, I had to stop the sync.
Now I'm back at the same error, have redone all the same steps, even updated to 8.0.2, and still "waiting."
Step 5 of 5, waiting for changes to be applied.
What can I do?

OK this is what I did:
Did a backup of my iphone to itunes & unplugged phone from computer.
Did a erase & reset on my phone to clear all data.
Plugged phone back into my computer & did a restore from backup.
Phone is now syncing & also cleared out the very large mysterious "other" file.
I can't believe tech support told me to uninstall itunes!!

Iphone 5s is stuck in 'waiting for changes to be applied' when syncing iTunes

I recently upgraded to the iphone 5s. When syncing between my 5s and my macbook pro it wont go beyond 'step 4- waiting for changes to be applied' no music gets transfered over and it never completes. Ive tried restarting itunes, restarting my laptop, restarting my iphone, restoring my iphone. In the summary tab of itunes ive tried to change syncing options between wifi alternatives, automatically syncing when plugged in, and 'manually manage music and video' . I've also shut off the 'find my iphone' in my iphone icloud settings (as I read in a support community posting this may work - no luck). Interestingly I got an ipad mini retina after the iphone 5s and it synced no problem with my itunes. (the new mini is crazy fast btw - so happy with it). Anyways, I'm running itunes 11.1.3 and OS X version 10.8.5 on my macbook. iphone is 7.04. Help please. I really miss having music on my phone...
