Hello nrkooy,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I understand your iTunes is stuck on the message stating "Waiting for sync to start". I'm happy to assist you with this. If you are using a USB cable, disconnect the iPhone from the computer. Try a different USB cable if you have one. Make sure iTunes and your iPhone iOS version is updated:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Update to the latest version of iTunes
If you are syncing via Wi-Fi, forget and rejoin your Wi-Fi network by performing the following steps:
Launch the Settings app.
Tap Wi-Fi.
Tap the info button next to the wi-fi network you want to forget. It looks like a lower-case I.
Tap Forget This Network.
Tap Forget when prompted to confirm you want to forget the network.
Reconnect to your Wi-Fi network.
I hope this helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities, and have a great day!
