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)

IPhone 3GS no longer syncs with Itunes
Hi there, i have:
MacBook: 10.4.11
ITunes: 9.2.1
iPhone: 3GS (4.0.1)
Earlier today I successfully synced my iphone to itunes. All fine there. However, I noticed that there was a message saying a software update, 4.2 was available for my iPhone. Clicked on the update button in iTunes but a message saying 'this version of itunes (9.2.1) is the current version' appeared. Didn't make sense as was in the iPhone update screen on iTunes. Tried again to update and got the same message.
Anyways, thought best to reboot my mac & iphone and try again with the software update. This time though, iTunes doesn't even register that my iPhone is connected to it. I get nothing, doesn't come up as a device and iphone battery is not being charged by the mac. Again have rebooted and still the same.
Checked for software update of iTunes and it says i'm running the latest version, 9.2.1. FYI, have checked the USB ports / cables and they are all working.
Have no idea what's going on! Any ideas? Cheers.OK, solved - I think. A friend lent me an OS X 10.5 disk which sorted everything on the G5 Power PC iMac. BUT:-
1. Still no solution for G4 iBook which will simply choke running Leopard
2. Thank you (ironic here) Apple for removing syncing with 10.4.11 without saying anything. How are you supposed to load new iPhone firmware without syncing???
3. OS X 10.5 isn't available on the Apple site - it needs to be, and probably free
I'm also really disappointed how little attention has been paid by Apple Support to this discussion. I thought they kept looking at these. -
Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook2010 Calendar and Outlook2010 Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?
It's good to know. The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit. The larger problem is that it partially works: partially and erratically. So clean-up is great fun.

with the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks
update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

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.

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.

My iPhone 4 is using 4.3.3 and I want to update to iSO 6.1. I can back it up and it starts to download it through iTunes but then I get an error message 0xE8000067.
Tried all the things on the apple support site (checked USB port, deleted the 3 exe files in Task Manager, tried a new cable). None worked. Got the same message on my old computer.
Any ideas??Amazing help from apple support over the phone. Restoring the computer fixed the problem.

I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!
What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

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.

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
