  • IPhone 4S Wifi Sync Problem "Waiting for Changes to be applied"

    When syncing my iPhone 4S over WiFi, I keep getting the message "Waiting for Changes to be applied", and the syncing seems to go into a endless sync of death.  When I sync my iPad, not problem at all.  Anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Resetting to Factory Default Settings, then restoring from the Cloud, sorted the problem

  • Have 4S and when syncing with iTunes using WiFi I get waiting for change to be applied.  But this seems to never end.  I have waited for an hour and still getting message.

    Have been attempting to sync my iPhone 4S with iTunes using WiFi.  It appears to complete the 5 or 6 syncs, but then waiting for change to be applied comes up and it never completes the sync.  Waiting for changes to be applied continues for every.

    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.

  • 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.

    Hello Marcia,
    Sorry you are having trouble syncing content with your iPhone 5. I found an article that might help with this syncing issue:
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
    Also, you can delete the songs from the iPhone without syncing by just swiping from left to right over the song to get a delete button. 
    I hope this helps!
    Best,

  • 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

  • Can no longer sync from Itunes to my Ipod. It stays stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied".

    I get to the part where it says "waiting for changes to be applied". And it stays stuck on there. It's been going on since yesterday. I've never had this problem before.

  • Itunes sync stuck on waiting for changes to be applied

    I recently updated itunes to version 12.0.1.26.  I have an Iphone 5 - with ios 8.1.1.
    When I tried to sync my iphone to itunes, it constantly gets stuck on "step 6 of 6 - waiting for changes to be applied"
    The only songs I now have access to on my iphone are songs I have downloaded through itunes - none of the music I previously had on my phone from CDs or other sources.  It also made my videos unaccessable.
    I am really frustrated as I have spent hours trying to fix this.  Every time I update my itunes I have a different problem.  I have read many other questions with the same issue over the years - but there never seems to be an answer or solution.
    Thanks in advance for help!

    I really don't appreciate the fact that no one from Apple seems to be dealing with the many, many threads that have started on this topic since iOS 7 came out. In any event, I seem to have solved my problem with a full software restoration -- that is, iOS software restoration.
    I clicked on "Restore iPhone..." which does a complete reinstall of the iOS but also all apps, photos, songs, etc. Took about 45 minutes, but seems to have worked.
    I had previously tried reverting to a backup of my iPhone, but that did not solve the problem. Only a full restore solved it.

  • IPhone 4 w/iOS 5 stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied" any solutions?

    So far I'm loving iOS 5 on my iPhone 4. Most everything is working great except for the fact that when I sync my phone it gets stuck on the final part of the sync (which was never part of the sync steps in the past) "waiting for changes to be applied." It happens anytime I make the iPhone sync: Transferring purchases, backing up, or making new changes like adding songs or apps.
    So far I've just cancelled out of it and it's usually put everything I had synced onto it. But why does it get stuck on this? Has anyone else noticed this on their iOS devices?

    I had the same problem. I updated yesterday, and ended up leaving the phone plugged in overnight, only to wake up in the morning and find it still "waiting for changes to be applied." One website suggested doing this inside the phone:
    (Settings>General>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync), and CANCEL/TURN OFF the sync.
    I found that for the first sync, or reboot of your iPhone after the iOS 5 and iTunes 5 updates, it's better to do that straight through USB and not over WiFi at all.
    I was trying to do it that way, BUT even though I did indicate that on iTunes, the phone was still set to sync over WiFi until I disabled it as described above. My thought is that it was trying to do both, or something like that and could get past it. I hope this helps some of you. After you've done that, it would make sense to sync again straight through USB. Now, my sync takes a minute or two.

  • Following iOS7 update, sync hangs on "Step 6: Waiting for changes to be applied"

    Just updated to iOS7.  Everything seems be be working fine except for the fact that I can't sync my phone.  It stalls on "STEP 6: Waiting for changes to be applied."
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I'm curious if the folks on this or the other threads dedicated to this problem have pretty substantial (say, over 25 GB) music files.
    I ask because the simplest thing seems like it solved it for me. Every sync since downloading ios 7 and itunes 11.1 encountered this problem. I did all the resets of my device and Macbook Air, re-installed itunes, factory reset on my iphone (4s), turned off Genius and Find My Phone, double checked my download file in itunes, deleted all my voice memos, deleted all my media and then re-installed it, basically any of the suggestions I came across on the discussion boards or were recommended during any of my three Apple support chat sessions, it still hung up every time resulting in partial or complete deletion of my music and other media.
    Then this evening for the first time I fought the urge to cancel the sync when it seemingly got stuck and I just let it go. Well over an hour later the sync finished seemingly normally and since then it's been fine, syncing just as quickly as it always used to. I've got about 43GB of music that syncs every time, I wonder if there isn't something that the new itunes/ios needs to do to the individual files that just takes awhile. My wife updated to ios 7 on the same day I did and never had this issue, the only noticeable difference between our phones is the size of our respective music libraries.

  • IPod Touch 5th Generation sync stuck on "Waiting for Changes to be applied" what do I do?

    Brand new ipod touch 64GB will not sync with my itunes account.  I have an older ipod with more than 12,000 songs that syncs with no issues but when I try to sync this new one it gets stuck on step 4 and it states, "Waiting for Changes to be applied" and does nothing else. I will give this a little more time before sending it back for a refund and never buying another apple product.  You would think that a device who's primary job is to hold and play music from its own website could actually work.

  • Whilst syncing "waiting for changes to be applied" error // iphone 4s

    Hi Guys,
    I am experiencing a "pause" in syncing when the iphone is connected resulting in a message "waiting for changes to be applied".......
    Has anyone experienced the same problem?
    Removing the iphone photo cache as suggested elsewhere has not solved the problem either, nor has restoring the iphone (twice).
    Thanks

    What seems to work for me is to uncheck photos (then sync) and recheck photos (sync).
    If the sync doesn't work I 'X' out to cancel the never ending sync, unplug then reconnect iPhone and try again.
    My first iPhone, being the 4S and in my research it seems this issue goes back to early 2011. Apple c'mon.

  • IPad syncing hangup: "waiting for changes to be applied"

    When I choose to sync my ipad 1 (latest OS 5.01) with my itunes (latest Lion 10.7.2)  it goes through 6 steps of 7  and then the seventh step of 7 says "waiting for changes to be applied".  I have left that step on over15 hours and it never moves on the say sinc complete.  In the meantine all 3200 of my songs in itunes on my ipad have disappeared.  I selected to do my syncing thru iCloud.  Is that my mistake?  Do I have to reset my ipad and will I lose thousands of pictures, songs and aps if I do?
    I think I am begining to hate iCloud.

    I have tried about everything and nothing works and apple support is like going to Microsoft support.
    here in communities its not that ez to get back to where I was. I have found many threads and comments about this and nobody seems really thrilled about the fix and the folks that help here are baffled about it too. I have tried posting with this problem 3-4 times already and no responses -so I think this is an unresolvable problem which makes my ipad unusable since I cannot add music or movies or tv shows to it.
    I like others have spent hours on this--already tried reset a few times and 2 restores but the problem comes back.
    and it includes the bar below where it shows different things using up space including a fast increasing "other" category.
    there is a software issue.
    by the way, the new io8 o whatever it is? using safari has become cumbersome because the bookmarks stay on left side of screen taking up valuable space--that can be fixed by tapping on the bookmark logo, only after you scroll back up--bring back the old way.
    in addition as long as I am venting, all of a sudden I am getting, while using safari, pop up ads galore tied somehow to google.
    apple is losing its competitive advantage.
    I'll have to try adding a book or a new app to see if I can add those--if not, I'll have to give up on apple for tablets.
