WON'T FINISH Syncing . (error -48)or 1033, -69

Itunes WON'T FINISH SYNCING. (error -48)or 1033, -69. It hangs up on a new song each attempt. I have deleted the sticking song each failure.
Here's what I've tried:
A) unchecked all Recently added songs and delted skipped disc tracks, as well as
those mp3's brought over via drag n drop.
1) updated Itunes, restored Ipod 14 times.
2) restored ipod from PC/Itunes 12 times.
3) updated USB drivers and uninstalled and reinstalled
4) ran MS disk scan /repair 15 times.
5) tried all 4 USB ports
6) ran diagnostics and it said it couldn't find Ipod, (although in itunes margin it showed Ipod). I clicked HELP and it took me to an apple support page that had nothing to do with my particular error/ diagnositc result. OF COURSE , THAT WOULD BE TOO LOGICAL!
Diagnostics should trouble shoot this until it's fixed. No such process.
Any help?

Bump. I am having this problem also on my 160 GB Ipod. I have restored a ton of times and have use multiple computers to load songs from (thank God for my EXT. HD) If any one can help i would greatly appreciate it. Thank You.

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.

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?

IPod touch won't finish syncing on iTunes

My ipod touch won't finish syncing. it's been on step 7 of 7 forever... it's a third generation itouch and the version of itunes is 10.6, the latest version.

First, try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
See if you can sync after that.
Are you syncing podcasts as well? If yes, try without selecting podcasts, or delete the podcasts on the device before you sync.

ITunes won't finish syncing.

For the past few days since I updated the software on my mac, my itunes hasn't enabled my iphone to finish syncing.
This has now meant that the music I once had on my phone is now coming up grey with a circle next to it meaning it's not on the device anymore.
However the music that was downloaded previously from itunes is still on my device.
Can anyone give me advice in how to get my music back and to somehow get my itunes to finish syncing, it gets through all the stages and then just remains on the last one for hours before saying it can't sync it.
Help please! x

Hello Gipson93
To start the sync over, deselect the music in the Music tab and sync. Once complete, select it again to start the sync over.

IPod Won't Finish Sync

So, today I've had to restore my iPod to factory settings about our times now. Every time I try to re-sync all my music back, it'll slow down significantly and stop around after 1700 songs or so (out of roughly 3700). When I try to eject my iPod, iTunes crashes and the files already copied do not show up on my iPod. When I reconnect to my MacBook, it shows everything I copied as "Other" and not "Music." I've tried this several times already and it still won't work.
EDIT: Make that five restores tonight.

So now I've also tried connecting it to my Windows PC and restoring it, and iTunes does the exact same thing. It locks up on one song and never finishes the sync, and crashes when I try to eject.
My iPod didn't start doing this until yesterday.

IPod Classic- Won't finish sync

PLEASE HELP!!
I recently restored my IPOD CLASSIC 80G but now, when I try to sync, it works for a while before freezing and making iTunes crash so I have to force quit- This leaves NO SONGS AT ALL on my ipod
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! ANY SUGGESTIONS!!?

Looks like your iPod Hardisk is dying.
Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted earlier by tt2, sorry, it won't fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Ipod touch won't finish sync

When i try and sync my ipod touch the message reads "itunes cannot back up ipod because an error has occured". Any ideas anyone?

Try to delete the latest backup in the list in iTunes/Preferences/Devices and then sync again.
Copy the whole backup folder located here
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
to a safe place before you delete the backup, in case you need it to restore info again.

I am having Issues after updating iPod Touch 5th Gen to version 8.1.2. My iPod now won't finish syncing...it gets stuck at applying updates...

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

New Ipod won't finish syncing...?

I have just received a new Ipod, a 5th generation touch, and I have been trying to put my music on it all day. I have tried restarting both the ipod and itunes. I have restarted my computer. I have uninstalled and re-installed itunes. I have restored my ipod. I have tried dozens of things and no matter what it continues to get stuck at step 5: Changes Waiting to be Applied, and it will go no farther. I have been at this all day and I'm ready to tear my hair out. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe:
"Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities

When I connect my iPhone 5, iTunes opens and the sync begins. It goes all the way through the process then stays on "Finishing Sync" and never continues. It doesn't do this with my iPad 2 on the same computer. How can I get the iPhone to finish syncing?

I am using a Dell XPS 8200 running Windows 7 Professional.

not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
(stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

Can't Finish Syncing To iTunes

Hey Folks-
Ever since I downloaded 1.1.1, my iPhone won't finish syncing to iTunes. It kind of just hangs while trying to sync. And, it happens in the same place every time (syncing contacts). Is there anyone here who can give me a tip or let me know what I can do so that I can sync up to iTunes as I have lots of music that I've downloaded from the iTunes WiFi Store (which is totally cool and quick as h-e-double-hockey-sticks). Thanks!!

IPad won't finish cancelling sync

I was syncing my iPad mini on my computer, when the memory filled up as I forgot to untick items, then it automatially started to finish sync, however it still was finishing sync for a while, so I clicked eject but all that did was bring up a separate window saying finishing sync, that is now still finishing sync and it won't allow me to click onto iTunes, can I unplug iPad and start again by unticking items or is it dangerous?

Would I normally recommend doing that? Not really. Have I done it myself? Yes I have. If you can quit iTunes from the menu or in Windows I assume by clicking on the X, I would try that first ... Try again maybe. If that doesn't work, what other choice do you have but to pull the cable if the sync will not cancel?

HT1386 I keep getting an error message during step 5 of 7 in syncing process, which tells me I have to enter my password, so I do, but it can't finish syncing. Help!!
