ITunes keep saying "Waiting for iPod" and cannot restore
When i try to restore my iPod, it keeps in waiting for ipod and in the ipod an apple and an empty bar..
Oh and i got the ipod so many months ago and I found it but when I connected it to itunes it said in serial number: n/d, ios: n/d , etc !
help please, is an ipod touch 4g 32gb !
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

has anyone else had this problem? i cant get to any other screen in itunes other than "restore this ipod shuffle" in itunes.
You can only sync to one computer.
You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content. -

Back up, Erase all content and settings, Restore iPhone (downloads fresh iOS), restore from backup. Should fix. You will not lose texts, etc.

HT201263 I am trying to recover ipod touch 4th gen and it says waiting for ipod for over 30 minutes
I have attempted to recover and restore my ipod 4th gen and I keep getting a message waiting for ipod and nothing happens
So I had the same problem but in my case, they gave me a new one for free. If they will not give you a new free one, go here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#us
Prices defend on how much gb's of storage your iPod touch has got:
iPod touch 8 GB (4th gen.) $99
iPod touch 32 GB (4th gen.) $149
iPod touch 64 GB (4th gen.) $199
That's a lot when you compare it to the original price, that's also why you should never drop your iPod (what is impossible) and of course buy a case to protect it! -

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.

Hi, why can't I use the iMessage on my iPhone? I've already had my apple id email on it but it keeps saying "waiting for activation" always like that. No progress. Could anybody help me on this? Cheers
I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In -

hey guys my iphone 5 sync and at step 6, it say waiting for changes and then it cancel syncing.
You meant iTunes 11.1.2?
Try disable anti-virus and firewall and try again. You can switch back on after you've finished. -
I'm trying to activate my iMessage & FaceTime with an email on my iPhone 4 , but it keeps saying “waiting for activation..” . So how do I activate it so it can work ?
Yes, I know. But at one point in activating FaceTime or iMessage you will need to be able to send a text message. If you can't, there will be no activation.
Check your device settings
Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
