stuck on waiting for changes to be applied

This problem appeared to solve last week, but it's returned again today.

I tried to sync via USB (it had been a couple of days), but it got stuck on the final step for five-plus minutes. I cancelled the sync, ejected the device, unplugged and reconnected…and now the Sync buttons are greyed/inactive, and the content bar simply says Other (yellow), rather than Audio, Video, Photos, etc.

iTunes 11.1.1

iOS 7.0.2

Thank you! This worked for me!

This fixed it for me, thanks.

Thank you, cpaulPHL! All I had to do was Step 2 and it all started working from there 🙂 I have been trying to figure the problem out for hours

This sounds like some sort of iOS7 file system bug or something. I recommend you reboot your iPhone to see if it clears up after the restart.

I've tried rebooting my iPhone twice, but it didn't fix it.

Thank you. I had the same problem and took your advice and did a full restore. Extremely frustrated and disappointed with apple! Thanks again!

in follow-up, what finally worked for me:

1) restore iphone

2) restore backup

somehow also freed up approx 2gb of storage too

I think I found a simple solution. In itunes under music uncheck the sync voice memos. That solved my problem instantly.

I never had the checkbox checked to sync Voice Memos, so that's not a universal fix.

This problem keeps reappearing for me, despite the (temporary) fixes. iTunes 11.1.2, iOS 7.0.3.

I did start to go down that road but then they wanted £25.00 to help, & i thought you money grabbing B********

And fixed it for me too! Thanks!!!!!

Thanks man, it works.

What worked for me was to sign out of itunes in the settings on the ipad.
