My ipod touch wouldn't turn on because I dropped it, so I plugged it into the computer. It went into recovery mode and is now stuck on a waiting for ipod screen. The ipod shows the apple logo and an empty loading bar.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Restoring stuck on 'waiting for ipod' SOMEONE PLEAAASE HELP:( lol

my ipod wont finish its restoring it locks up on 'waiting for ipod' x

Nobody from Apple here. Just users like you. Perhaps the question is very short on details for anyone to recognize the problem. What is showing on your iPod screen? If nothing, try to turn it on. What is showing then?

When i try to restore my ipod it gets stuck on waiting for ipod?

I dropped my ipod and it fell on its back and it turned off and would not turn on again I tried charging it and nothing popped up then I was holding the home buttom and lock screen at the same time then the apple logo showed up then turned off again.

ITunes stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"

Here are the symptoms I'm seeing:
- If I restore my phone, or delete/reinstall iTunes, or uncheck "Sync Music", wait for a sync to complete, recheck "Sync Music", ONE sync attempt will complete. I try adding one additional song and re-syncing the device, it gets stuck.
- If a sync doesn't complete, it gets stuck on "Waiting for items to copy" or "Waiting for changes to be applied". Via fs_usage, it seems like nothing is happening during this phase. I've left it for two hours and it doesn't move on from this phase unless you manually cancel the sync.
- It's manifested itself on two different phones - an iPhone 4S and a iPhone 6.
- Each phone has enough space for the items I'm syncing
- Sometimes iTunes or gets confused and moves the entire music library on my phone into "Other". Recently I had 42GB of "Other" on a 55GB device. See attached screenshot: http://monosnap.com/file/AaDzqWpgtNXtfTYdy8iscfTKrkZGWC
- The problem has persisted across multiple versions of iTunes (at least versions 11 and 12)
Here are the things I've tried to solve the problem:
- Restore the device - as mentioned, works one time, further syncs fail
- Turn my laptop off and on
- Turn my phone off and on
- Replace "iTunes Library.xml" by moving it to the Desktop and rebuilding the file (really fun as I lost all playlists, import date info and most played information by doing this)
- uncheck Sync Music and recheck it - as mentioned above, this works one time, this method is also error prone (takes 3 or 4 canceled syncs before it decides to actually transfer the songs)
- signed out of Apple Store
- repair disk permissions
- repair disk
- trace iTunes process with fs_usage, will try dtruss next
- remove the SyncServices/Local directory - didn't do anything
- remove iTunes and every trace of it I could find (com.apple.itunes and related plist files) and reinstall from the Internet - I got one good sync after this and then it got stuck again.
I would appreciate your help as I'm at wit's end here. If there are any debugging logs or further information I can post, please tell me - I'm a software engineer by trade and have a fairly good idea of how to operate a machine (though not really how to debug a closed-source binary, maybe I should learn how).
Thanks,
Kevin

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

ITunes stuck in "Waiting for iPhone" and iPhone 5's progress bar won't start loading.

I was with about 40% battery, playing a game, when my iPhone 5 iOS 8.1 suddenly turned off, it wouldn't turn back on even with 30m charging. I went to iTunes, and it recognized it on recovery mode, and I tried to restore. However, it got stuck on "Waiting for iPhone" and the iPhone was with the progress bar at 0% for HOURS. I can't find a solution for the problem myself.
Thanks.

do you have a cdma iphone 4? becauase cdma iphones dont have a sim card slot... the providers that use cdma technology here in the us would be verizion, sprint, criket, ect... if you want to use your iphone 4 on att or tmobile (gsm carriers). then you would need a gsm iphone 4 (has sim card slot). a gsm iphone 4 is different than a cdma iphone 4 (they have different radio chips). maby you missed the sim card slot? sim card slot would be on the side of the phone.. never inside (unless it has a removable back cover like the galaxy s3 or s4), if you dont see a sim card slot on the side of the phone than you have a cmda iphone 4. can you tell me what carrier you are trying to use?

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

Itunes stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" after ios5 download.

I downloaded and installed ios5 to my iphone 4 successfully. Then I went through all the apps on my phone and there were more than 50% apps missing. Then I went back into iTunes and realized that they were there to dl again, which I did. Now I'm stuck at syncing my phone with iTunes with all the re-downloaded apps. I'm stuck at the message that says "Waiting for changes to be applied". I've already ejected my iPhone once to restart, but same message from iTunes. It has already been 8 hours being stuck at the same message from iTunes. What should I do? Any suggestions?

WAS having this trouble with Itouch3 and 5.1.1 I tried restoring from backups and as a new device, both locked up. Regardless of whether you want to restore as new device or backup, go through the process (the fastest way is to use the IOS you downloaded already by holding shift and left mouse button on Restore button on Itunes device summary page in (windows) and selecting the latest IOS from [C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates] 'admin' is the user that installed itunes, confirm restore.When itunes gets done wiping, reloading the IOS and is asking if you want to use New Device or Restore from backup, that's where you pick up the device and run through all the questions it has regarding logging into wifi, tou, using icloud (I chose no on cloud) and logging into apple with your itunes account. When all the questions are answered and your device is on it's home page looking like it's done, hit home twice to bring up running apps, settings is probably there, hit the red x on it, home button to get back to home page, repeat to make sure apps are shut down, NOW you are ready to proceed with itunes. Now you can choose restore as new or use backup from computer. I think the trouble is that now you can supposedly restore your iwhatever from the cloud with no computer, on the touch it seems to set device to do just that and it conflicts with the itunes restoration. This place should be able to send me email if there is something that didn't make sense. Hope this helps.

My Iphone 3GS is stuck on 'waiting for iPhone' In restoration?

Hello:)
My iPhone 3GS (32mb) turned itself off the other month and on it appeared an itunes icon with a USB plug underneath it, i cannot turn my phone off ect.
Ive plugged my iPhone into the latest iTunes patch and it had successfully restored when i clicked the restore button, although once this had finished it came back to the summary screen and the only button i could press was the restore button again, so i have and then it went through all the apple approving and other things. But now it is just saying on the laptop screen 'waiting for iPhone' and the actual iPhone has the apple logo on it and a long bar underneath that is empty. It was like this for half an hour, no change or anything, so i unplugged the iPhone and pressed the lock and home buton ( to turn it off ) and then redid the iTunes procedure, it went straight to the apple verfication thingy then moved on to the 'waiting for iPhone' again and NOW its got the same stupid empty bar and apple logo please can someone help??? I tried contacting chat online on apple and it said i had to dial a number, but asking the community for free is much more useful than a crackly phone call that'll probably cost me a fiver hahaha thanks guys!
ps; No error reports

Did you ever got this resolve? I have your same problem phone type and all.

Itunes always gets stuck at "waiting for sync to start" and "preparing to update"

I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, that didn't help. I restored my ipod, that didnt help. I CANT SYNC AT ALL

I can't see the answer as to how you fixed this. Can you please advise? It is extremely frustrating. It was working fine for me a few weeks ago. Everything is haywire since I downloaded all of the newest softwares.

IPhone 5 stuck at waiting for iphone during restore

Trying to restore iPhone back to stock on 6.1.4 and the phone is stuck at the waiting for iPhone screen. Is there any way to get the phone to start reloading the OS or do I have to take in to an Apple store to let them try to adjust the problem?

Hi Infectedco,

I've been trying to update iTunes to 10.3 for a while now and I keep getting the following message:

The path 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
I have iTunes already, I've searched my entire computer, every drive, and there is no 'iTunes.msi' to be found anywhere. How is it possible to get this file? And if I'm currently running iTunes, shouldn't it exist on my computer somewhere, or is this something new for the update. This problem started with the iTunes update to 10.2 blah, blah, blah, and now it continues with the 10.3.1.55 update. HELP!!!!!!

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

IPod Touch 2nd gen in recovery mode, stuck in "waiting for iPod..."

Before posting this topic, I did some searching for the same problem that I had, but I noticed that no one had the exact same problem as me. Most people get error messages in the middle of their restoring or something, but I don't get any error messages at all. The progress bar on my itouch would be full, and it'd stay like that for hours. When I restart my ipod THEN would a message pop up saying I have the (9) error..
Please help!

I am also having the same problem after trying to upgrade yesterday. I have uninstalled ITune and reinstalled and still have the same problem. Do anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem so I can use my IPod?
