TS4062 stuck at step 7 of 7?

Always sticks at step 7 of 7

i don't know why it happens. but i know how frustrating it can be. the same thing happened to me. i posted a few inquiries in different apple forums and didn't get any ideas of how to fix it. i did however find a solution on my own.
i found that if i did a "restore my ipad" that it fixed it. i was hesitant at first because i was afraid of loosing valuable information. but much to my relief i didn't loose any thing. other than an hour of my time.
this seemed to fixed my problem of being stuck on "waiting for items to copy". my ipad now syncs both wired and wirelessly without any hang ups. however i would suggest that if you are syncing a large amount of data (movies for example) that you do it wired and not wirelessly. i found that it takes a lot longer to sync movies wirelessly.
good luck

Can you check the health of your iPod Hardisk, by doing the iPod Disk Diagnostics as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

TS4062 HELP!!! When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes it gets stuck at step 2 and goes no further. I have iTunes 10.6.3.25. It happens all the time. I have Windows 7.

Please help. Every time I try to sync my iphone with itunes it gets stuck at step 2 and just spins. I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 installed. I've even shut down and rebooted. Nothing helps.

Based on what someone else said, I am getting the "rotating ball of eternal sadness". Yup. That about describes it.

Syncing iPad2: PLEASE HELP ME! My iPad2 has been stuck on step 8 of 8 for a day now - waiting to copy items. What can I do to fix this? Nothing is actually happening! I'm running ios5 on an iPad 2.

Pulling my hair out with this one. Please help!

Reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

You don't need to manually sync using iOS 5.

When syncing after recent update, sync is stuck at "Step 4 of 4" "Waiting for changes to be applied" and will not complete, even after hours. How can this be fixed?

I completed the most recent software update for both iTunes and iPhone recently. I am now trying to sync my iPhone to add newly purchased audiobooks and the sync remains stuck at "Step 4 of 4" with the message "Waiting for changes to be applied" I have tried everything to correct this. When sync is cancelled a failure to sync message is generated. Any ideas????

Alright, so I reset my computer and suddenly it then recovered. Other times it wouldn't recover after resetting the computer, so I have no idea how it happened. I just restarted the computer lots of time and finally it worked.
Okay, back to square one. Now to transfer music, I tried my previous acknowledgable solutions but they didn't work. The iPod touch does not feature a hard-disk mode, and windows media player doesn't support iPods.
I've tried multiple programs to transfer music but none of them work properly and keep giving me error codes. So my iPod still gets stuck at Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied or whatever it said.
Thanks in advance ._. (Please help)
p.s - Apple is useless. If I don't get steady answers tomorrow I'm going to end up calling them and get this problem fixed first hand. Second hand? I don't know, over the **** phone.

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

Repair permissions and restart your computer. If this does not work, zap the pram. You should now see your external hard drive.

HT201401 while syncing - been stuck on step 5 of 5 'waiting for items to copy' for an hour - help?

while syncing - have been stuck on step 5 of 5 'waiting for items to copy' for an hour...........i'm suspecting there is a problem
last night i attempted to upgrade to the most recent IOS - after that was done, i attempted to sync my phone
got a message that said that 'Itunes has detected a Iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this Iphone before it can be used with Itunes'
I was unfamiliar with 'restoring' so i just unplugged my phone - which was then stuck....
i went to my local Apple store this a.m. and was told to go home and restore my phone - which i did and then it asked if i wanted to restore it again with my backed-up info - which i am currently attempting to do (see first line for current problem)
p.s. i started this process as 12:30 p.m.........................

There is no fix. There are a variety of partial fixes that sometimes work for some people, but there's nothing that has consistently solved the issue. Just do a google search, you'll see thousands of forum posts about it.
It's a bug in iTunes, and we're all hosed until Apple fixes it. Which they have shown zero desire to do (I've reported the bug to them through multiple channels multiple times, and they simply do not care).

I go to sync my Iphone 3Gs (IOS 5) with iTunes on my pc and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour.

I go to sync my Iphone 4 (IOS 5) with iTunes on my mac and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour. What can i do to fix this problem????

If you are stuck at the blue screen then you can try booting into safe mode (hold shift during boot) and then run disk repair. If that still doesn't fix it then you might have to reinstall OS X. What version of OS X are you running?

HT5037 I am stuck on step 2. Where is the Go menu in The Finder?

Got a new iMac, and trying to use iPhoto, and get this message: "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." If you do, you can use the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to prepare your library to work with the current version of iPhoto.
I click on learn more and get to this page, and I get stuck on step 2. Where is the Go menu in The Finder?

Here's another method to get to the library:
NOTE: In Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder (the folder with the house icon) and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
Check the Show Library checkbox which will make that folder visible.

TFS 2010 to TFS 2013 Migration stuck at step 13

Hi,
We've been trying to migrate our TFS 2010 collections to TFS 2013, but we always get stuck at Step 13 of 793. We tried 3x already. For the first try we waited around 8 hours, and decided to just restart. On the second try, we waited for more
than 13 hours and still no joy. And the third try is still going.
We are using Windows Server 2012 R2 for both Application Tier and SQL Server. Windows 2008 R2 for Sharepoint Server. SQL Server 2012 with SP1 Standard for the SQL Server.
Our TFS 2010 is a single server setup (Windows 2008 R2). And we are migrating now to a tiered architecture (a separate machine for sharepoint, another for SQL Server and another for the application tier). Could this be what's causing the 'stuck'?
I've followed the ALM rangers document, followed the requirements (i.e. Windows version, SQL Server version, etc), read articles from forums and I think we've done everything that we need to. Note that we tried migrating to TFS 2012 ages ago and it did
migrate successfully, but we're thinking TFS 2013 is available now so might as well go to TFS 2013. Do we need to migrate to TFS 2012 first? But that's what the documents say, TFS 2010 can be a direct migration to TFS 2013, right?
There are four collections in our TFS 2010, and the other three migrates fine. It's the DefaultCollection that is getting stuck. The default collection is around 170GB in size. When we did the migration to TFS 2012 before, it was 150GB in
size and finished in around 5 hours.
Can anyone let me know or point me to the right direction on how to address this issue? I've looked at the logs and can't see anything that stands out; no errors mentioned. Is there anything else that I could look at? Or is ther any profiling
that I can enable to see what might be causing the issue? I've searched google and only found a couple forums that has the same issue. One was resolved because of the Max Parallelism and we did that one as well but still no joy.
Appreciate any ideas. Thanks heaps.
Kindest regards,

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
What's the result of your third try?
What's the document are you following?
From TFS upgrade requirements, You can upgrade TFS 2013 from Team Foundation Server 2010 directly.
If you’re using SQL Server 2012 with SP1, we recommend you also apply
cumulative update 2 on top of SP1 to address a critical SQL Server bug around resource consumption. This isn’t a hard requirement because the bug only affects a small number of instances, but we wanted you to be aware of it. If you don’t apply CU2, you
should apply a SQL Server hotfix (KB2793634) to addresses another (different) issue where SQL Server 2012 with SP1 might request an excessive amount of restarts.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

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.
