Whenever i try to sync my phone itunes says waiting for changes to be applies, what does that mean?

hi, i just got an iphone 5 today and whenever i try to sync it on my computer itunes says it is waiting for changes to be applied, what does that mean??

Hopefully is just says that for a minute or two ...
It just means that iTunes calculates what needs to be done, and then while instructing the iPhone to do these operations, it is "Waiting for changes to be applied."

  • HT1386 Each time I try to sync my iPhone it says "Waiting for changes to be applied" even though I have clicked the 'apply' button

    I have downloaded some music from the iTunes store and that has gone over onto my phone but the albums from CD's that I own are not going onto my phone as it will not sync.
    Your help is very much appreciated

    What is your selection under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes - all music or selected playlists, artists, genres?
    If the later, did you place the music imported from a CD in a playlist that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone?
    Do you have sync checked songs selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and if so, is all music in your iTunes library checked?

  • I can't sync my iPod with iTunes, iTunes says waiting for changes to be applied.

    Hi, I've been experiencing problems with my iPod touch 5g, the problem is that when I updated it to iOS 7 some of my songs were deleted, so I went to iTunes and unsync it, but now I can't add the music again, iTunes says waiting for changes to be applied.
    I've tried everything restarting the iPod, restating my mac, restore the iPod to the factory settings, everything and none of them worked
    Please help me.

  • 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.

  • Hi, I finally got lucky and past the "other" memory status issues when syncing. Now I'm "waiting for changes to be applied" sync stuck all night (itunes yesomite iPhone 6 plus). is this a bug? I have not had a single successful sync with yesomite.

    hi, I finally got lucky and past the "other" memory status issues when syncing. Now I'm "waiting for changes to be applied" sync stuck all night (itunes yesomite iPhone 6 plus). is this a bug? I have not had a single successful sync with yesomite.
    please help. this issue prevents music from syncing. I have set the sync setting to convert songs to 192kbps AAC to save space, I figure that could slow the sync
    down, but it's hanging indefinitely (I've left it for 24 hours with out it completing.)
    the the only music that appears on the phone are songs purchased from the iTunes Store. 95% of my collection are rips from my CDs.
    thank you for any help!

    Yeah it's pretty sad that $1000 phone they put out you such cheap memory It causes issues, I have iPhone 6+128 GB actually this is the second brand-new one they gave me because they keep affording it trying to act like that's not the issue because they're too stupid to know how to check what memory is in each one before they give it to me when I have told them multiple times my back up runs perfectly fine on two 5s phones and a 6 64GB of course running MLC memory.
    I told them it's because just like the write ups say I have 809 apps but I have not even put all my music on the phone so I'm still running 50 to 60 gigs free and it crashes and reboots itself sometimes in multitasking and more often than it does that in between multitasking I get a black screen for 1 to 2 seconds in between apps and upon start up the Apple logo screen will flicker and do weird things, One of the genius idiots asked me if I could just delete some of my apps, really that's the answer to fix the phone the customer needs to limit the amount to apps they put on their phone, why the **** get a 128 gig if you can't put on anything you want to it guess they need to start selling them saying you can only put a limited number of apps on them, it's really is a **** joke, I have over $20,000 of Apple merchandise easily and always get the new phone every year but I'm starting to reconsider my decisions in the future because this company is starting to go downhill, The reason water not recalling the phones is because they're dealing with their top-of-the-line thousand dollar phones in this case and most people don't have over two or 300 apps so they're not having as many issues, so basically they have messed up phones they just don't know it in their hands and Apple is just too **** greedy to recall the phones, they'd rather sell customer spends that only work half ***.
    Stuff like this will be the downfall of their company, all the people that stay with them because as long as you don't jailbreak their stuff it normally just works without issue will be soon jumping ship if stuff like this keeps up, because I can guarantee they got me thinking now.
    not that I wanted to know or should I be expected to but I even offered for them to open up my brand-new phone and just replace the memory to MLC memory which is something I shouldn't have to do with a brand-new **** phone, they should just make one with the right memory and give me a new phone, actually just don't sell customers that buy the top-of-the-line phone from you trash ones in the first place that would be a great option.
    what burns me up the most is when you talk to AppleCare and Genius Bar they try to act like the issue isn't there and they're unaware of it, they say that Apple hasn't come out with any information about it, yeah that's because they don't want to recall the trash.
    Apple has became nothing better than your run-of-the-mill company, android is becoming just as good as they are sad to say this since I have been an Apple fan for so long but there is no excuse for BS like this they have been looking for options to fix my phone for a month now this is not the way you should treat loyal customers, I would've been better off keeping my 5S and in the future just switching to android.
    it's pretty sad that the company has no idea how to check which memory is in their **** phone and even after I offered to let them just replace the memory in my new phone by opening up my brand-new phone to replace it they have no idea how to do that either, yeah Genius Bar sure, I think that should change the name to idiot bar and Apple don't care instead of Apple care.

  • Brand new iphone 5 says waiting for changes to be applied forever, every time I sync my phone.

    I previously had an iphone 4, and after backing up everything, i bought an iphone 5 and transfered everything to the new phone when i was at the apple store. i brought my laptop to get help syncing the music, but it gets stuck in a perpetual loading screen and gets stuck on waiting for changes to be applied. i cannot cancel the sync unless i eject my phone. and when i do, all of the music is greyed out, when i plug my phone in again, it starts syncing and stops when it says waiting for changes to be applied, or sometimes copying files. ive restarted my computer, my phone, un-plugged and plugged back in, everything is up to date, i un-installed and then re-installed itunes and nothing seems to work. i could sync everything fine before when i had the ophone 4. i have an HP laptop with windows 8 and i core 7, and theres a label that says nvidia geforce gt 635 (hopefully the info helps)
    Can anybody please help me with this?

    so i went back to the apple store and the only solution was to trade in your phone for a new one because there was a faulty conector in the microport. hopefully you have a waranty and your stuff backed up!

  • HT1386 i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"?

    i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"? so i dont know what to do cause i just want to sync my music from itunes to my iphone 4s

    I had the same problem and the fix was so easy that I felt a little silly after spending 2 hours with an Apple Technician.  At the end of it all, what I had to do was make sure ALL music was deleted from my iPhone 5 by going into usage and clearing out the music folder.  All I had to do then was turn my phone off and turn it back on again.  I had not done this after my phone upgraded to the new 7.0 IOS.   What's the first thing you do when experiencing computer problems?  Reboot!   It fixed my problem and now my iPhone 5 synchs perfectly when I had it connected to my computer.  I am also on iTunes version 11.1.

  • IPhone 6/iTunes sync stuck on step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied

    I just got my iPhone 6 two days ago, and everything was working beautifully, until yesterday. I noticed when I tried to sync my phone to iTunes to put more music on, the sync gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied" which is step 4 of 4. I'm thinking this is a iTunes problem? I tried restarting my phone, and iTunes, and then eventually my computer, and still no change on this step. It's been at least ten minutes now and it's still doing this....help please.

    I've been having the same problem. It would either get stuck at "Waiting for changes to be applied" or "Waiting for items to copy". My last successful sync was on 10/15. Tried a number of times either via wifi or direct connect.
    Solved it in the following fashion:
    Connected the phone to the computer via Lightning cable.
    My phone was set to back-up to iCloud. Changed that setting to back up to the computer.
    Unchecked the "Sync Music" option under the music tab.
    Hit apply.
    After a wait - the back-up completed and all the music was removed from my phone.
    Once it was done, re-checked "Sync Music" - it got past "Waiting for Changes to be Applied" at this point.

  • 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. (running version 7.1.2)

    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,
