Sync never finishes

OK, so I am syncing my new iPhone 6, and doing a hard, connected sync. But the sync never finishes. When I left it last night it was on "Syncing Artwork" and I left the sync running overnight, and it was still not done this morning.
Based on the fact that I can't get the system to stop asking me for old passwords, the problem where it keeps saying on my home screen that it says it is "Restoring from iCould Backup" for the whole week and a half that I have owned this new phone, and now this, I am seriously thinking of switching platforms.
HELP!

Never mind, figured it out. My "ipod photo cache" from my former library was included in my pictures file when I transferred my files to my new computer. I think this was confusing itunes. I deleted the old photo cache and synced again - this appears to have fixed the problem.

  • My Sync never finishes it says "waiting for changes to be applied"

    When trying to sync, it never finishes.  It says "waiting for changes to be applied" and sits there forever.

    Hi, haroldfm2013. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Normally this message indicates system information changes being applied on the iOS device.  However, this could be related to security software conflicts.  I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • ITunes Sync issues: I cannot download purchased songs & the sync never finishes

    Songs that are listed as Purchased in my iTunes Store account are listed in grey in iTunes on my iMac and I cannot download them again.
    Also, and maybe related, since upgrading to iOS5, the iTunes sync between my desktop and iPhone 4 never ends -- it hangs on the last step, "waiting for items to copy."
    Any ideas on how to resolve these problems?
    What's going with Apple these days? Lots of bugs and issues. Too bad.
    Thanks!

    Anyone having this problem and have mcafee click on the start button type services.msc find mcaffee rediractor right click and stop works like a charm

  • Syncing never finishes - stops at last step

    I have iOS8.1.3, iPhone6+, Yosemite 10.10.2 and iTunes 12.1.50 - all current software.  I am trying to do a backup of my iPhone and at the Transferring Purchases stage it stops and says "preparing to copy items" and that's as far as it goes, tho the little green spinner is working.  On th iPhone it says it is at Step 4 "waiting for changes to be applied" but it stays that way -- I have canceled the Sync and unconnected the iPhone but transferring goes on forever and nothing seems to get applied. 
    What next?

    I've assumed you've all solved this problem now but for those that haven't then this is what I have just done that worked.
    It turned out that I had not signed in to iTunes with my Apple ID.
    I recently had to change my Apple ID as I forgot the security questions (maybe that sounds familiar to any of you having this issue syncing as well?). Anyway I signed in to iTunes Library via iTunes. This was the first time I signed in since I changed my ID as my old ID was still showing. I had to authorise that I wanted to use the new ID and voila! I can now sync again.
    Hope this was useful for some of you!

  • Syncing contacts never finishes

    I've been syncing my iphone now for hours. It is stuck on syncing contacts. Tried restoring and same thing. Getting fed up.

    Okay, I feel stupid, but also irritated at the sync process. The hang up WAS that dialog box notifying me that more than a certain percentage of my calendar was going to change, asking if I wanted it to do so. ARRRRGGGHH! I couldn't find that box until I went to restart the computer. It is NOT an iTunes box. Therefore when I push F10 to see all the windows open in iTunes, it did not come up. It is a box in iSync, apparently. But I didn't even know there was such a thing as iSync. That's what program does the sync, but it does not show up in the dock, even when it's running. The stupid dialog box apparently doesn't stay visible during the whole sync process, so when I set it to sync and walked away, the box must have come up, then disappeared. The only way I can think to find it is to push F9 to show ALL windows open in any program.
    So the moral of the story is if your phone seems to take forever to sync (never finishes) especially if it's sticking while syncing Contacts or Calendar, and no error message comes up telling you what happened, look for the box asking if it's okay to continue even though a lot is changing. Hit F9! Mine had been set to notify me if more than 5% was changing. My husband is the one that found it and he changed the setting so it only comes up if more than 50% is changing. I almost didn't come back to tell you what happened because I was embarrassed since I said right in my first post that this wasn't the problem. But maybe this will save someone from having to go through the whole restore process like I did.
    On the bright side, restoring factory settings wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. It automatically asked and backed up all my settings as part of the process and all my aps and info came back without a hitch when I set them to sync again.

    Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    I have the same problem.. latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) and latest version of ios (7.1) but it gets stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" and I can't cancel the sync manually. It doesn't cancel on it's own either (at least not the 8 hours over night that it was syncing) and if I unmount the phone then the phone keeps the sync going (the little spinning arrows in the upper left corner) and doesn't recognize that it's been disconnected..
    I've tried restoring the phone (with little success, managed to get one more song on there) and syncing over wi-fi but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts, anyone?

  • Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built.  now when syncing my iphone to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork"  It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours.  How do I fix this?

    Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built.  Now when syncing my iphone 4s to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork"  It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours.  Subsequently most of my music and apps are missing from my iphone because it never finishes syncing.  How do I fix this?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Should it take sooo long to install Flash on a new Mac book pro?  And should the CC panel say "syncing files" and look like it will never finish?

    I Have CC and it's taking so long to install on my new Mac book pro.  The CC panel also says its syncing files down at the bottom, it's so slow it looks like it will never finish.  Should it be taking this long?

    I had an issue where I had to wipe my mac as well. What you have to do to format the hard drive and reinstall is this:
    Restart the computer while holding down the option key. Choose the recovery disc. Find the main hard disc and hit format. Then you can reinstall Lion via the internet, it takes a while though, my computer took 5 hours or so.
    For your first question, if you got the family version of office, I believe you have 3 computers you can authorize it on. If you are not sure, look it up in the apple store.
    For the second: Time machine would probably be your best option, but I would reccomend restoring from a backup before you were having problems, and restore that one (put new files you need on another external or a digital-online storeage site such as dropbox.) To restore a backup, restart your computer and hold command+R and select "Restore from Time Machine Backup" (for more information go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 )
    I don't believe tere is anything else you need to do, but I am new to macs, so I may not be the best source, but this is what I have found/have had to do.

  • My sync process hangs on "Preparing Sync Preview" and never finishes

    After a recent desktop software update the sync does not function properly and hangs.  I've left it for up to 2 hours and it never finishes.  Anyone else have this problem and let me know how to fix it.

    Okay, after reading some other online material, suspicion fell on the Blackberry Desktop Software 7.0 version. I uninstalled that version (keeping the data), then downloaded and installed version 6.1, and all is working correctly again.
    The attempts to fix the 7.0 sync problems did some strange things to my device, and I fortunately had a backup from a day or two before to restore. When I tried to sync again with 7.0 after restoring, my home screen photo disappeared and a couple of other odd things happened. A hard battery pull and reboot cleared those.
    I'm now able to sync with version 6.1 without any problems. However, I'm now unable to back up to the existing file because the software says I can't write to it! One thing at a time, I guess . . .

  • IPhone never finishes syncing

    I have an iPhone 3G and all of a sudden, I am unable to complete a sync. The iTunes will stop responding in the middle of it as it says "Finishing Sync". I tried my other PC and it did the same thing. No music or ringtones will sync either. I tried just one song. It wiped out my songs already on my iPhone. What can I do to get iTunes to finish syncing? Could it be my phone? I have yet to download Ver 4.1. I am too scared.

    After browsing through several similar posts, "https://discussions.apple.com/message/11273586#11273586" got me to try to un-sync contacts. That got the sync to finish as before. Further posts seemed to indicate that a corrupt file would cause this never ending sync. I think that's true since not syncing the contacts fixed the problem. I don't know how to fix corrupt contacts.
    Anybody have a suggestion.

  • I can log into sync but it never finishes

    I'm using firefox 30, everything is updated. When i try to sync my desktop with my account i can log into the account and the sync starts but it never finishes. None of my passwords or accounts are added. When the sync start there are two blue arrows that circle around one another next to my user name in the menu section, however this then stops. If i then try and disconnect i get this,"Firefox will stop syncing with your account, but won’t delete any of your browsing data on this computer." I'm unsure if this is due to my account not having anything within it or just not finishing the sync, but I'm unsure how or if it's possible to check what is held in my account.

    I tried all three of those suggestions and when I reinstalled I removed all of the current addons and personal data. Completely fresh. When I tries to sync again it added a couple of addons that were on the exsisting one but nothing from my account. Any other suggestions?

  • Itunes never finishes syncing w/ my Ipod

    For the last few months, Itunes will never finish syncing with my Ipod (I think 5th generation). I have the latest updates from Apple, and have about 27 gb's of the 30gb filled up with mainly music. I add ratings to the songs, but other than that, and a few song additions, there isn't much else to sync. In fact, when I first start syncing with Itunes, the center display window (i.e. where track info is shown) will tell me what is being synced over. Eventually it just says, something like "syncing with Ipod -- Do not disconnect". I've tried waiting for two days, and it'll remain like that. I end up pushing the eject button to free it. The ipod takes 5-10 before it is finally released from Itunes. Any ideas on how to fix?

    I get this problem as well from time to time. It always seems to work itself out by it self too. What I do when it's acting up is when it says it's done my iPod screen will go to the main menu for about a second then back the the syncing do not unplug so I just time it right when it's at the main menu and unplug it then. So far it hasn't damaged anything.
