Q: Waiting for changes to be applied... (iPhone 3GS,MB Pro 10.6.4)

worked for my 3gs 8g/ windows xp/ itunes Nov.5.2011.

hope apple can fix this soon, shame...

1. Quit iTunes.

2. Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator"

3. In the command prompt type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.

4. Reboot your machine.

5. Restart iTunes

What worked for me was unchecking voice memos and also deleteing all voice voice memos from your phone and the resyncing.. i tried everything else, this worked..

I just removed all of my voice memos that were critical to my job.  This suggested fix didn't work. I tried the netsh winsock reset steps and that enabled itunes store to work but I still can't sync my iphone 4 with itunes on my desktop. I also tried stopping all the programs and then syncing.  What is going on with the Apple Genius's? Why hasn't this problem been corrected? I'm a new user of Apple. For years, I've been hearing how great their products are. I was pretty impressed until now and watching how Apple leaves their customers hanging with no solution to major issues.

People:

RESTORE YOUR PHONE. It takes a couple of hours but I have tried every fix you can imagine, then I restored. Lost absolutely nothing - settings, app data, etc. are all there.

Zero issues since then.

Quite frankly, I shouldn't have to restore my phone everytime Apple decides to screw with iTunes or a iOs update. I have 29 separate folders, each filled with 12 or more apps. You saying to simply "restore" is a 4 hour ordeal for me - having to install apps in waves and then putting them in their individual folders again. And before you say anything, no, they don't restore back in their original folders, I maybe lucky and get one or two apps appearing in their right folder but I have to drag each app into their right folder.

Isn't Apple stuff supposed to just "work?" Isn't it what you Apple people keep boasting about?

I'm going to wait for the next version of iTunes. Hopefully they'll fix this nonsense.

Craig C., I am having the same issue with FilmicPro. Did you ever solve your problem? I have sent Filmic an email reporting my problem and I still havn't heard back from them.

Iphone 4 running 5.0.1, 13' Macbook 2g dual core running 10.6.8. Same Problem, After restoring iphone to factory the message would still come up and i couldnt fisnish sync. Deleted all voice memos, synced perfectly. hope this works!

Apple expects you to use iCloud to sync:

- contacts

- calendar

- music

- etc.

Upgrade to iOS 10.7.2, and turn on iCloud.  Everything should sync.

Hope this helps!

this happened to me i just uncheck all the options on the sync page on pc/mac except the 'open itunes automatically' one and it said 'changes applied' and asked to sync.

I have had this very same problem. Originally i refused to own an apple product and this problem has made me hate my iphone even more after just 3 weeks of ownership.

First of all, itunes wouldnt recognise my 4s. That was resolved by unistalling itunes and number of times and reinstalling it.

The phone had originally sync'd the first time i had it plugged in and all was fine. I added some more music to my library and then it would no longer sync.

After many hours searching for an answer I found a simple solution.

Select the device in itunes and then select the music tab. Tick the box that says sync music. Simple.

So much for working out of the box, sometimes the obvious things dont stand out.

You dont get these problems with a Blackberry, and as for this phone being a good corporate tool, its got a long way to go yet.
