stuck on waiting for changes to be applied

I did a diagnostics test from itunes, and it reported that I wasn't a admin user, which I am. That may be a problem.

I ended up doing a DFU restore as several people are reporting it fixes the issue. I'll report back in a couple of days if it works.

The easy and quick way to fix this is to connect your iphone to itune...

1.Go into your iphone (Top right of itune).

2.You'll see 3 different topics in bold - Iphone, backups and options.

3.Go to options and uncheck all the boxes (make sure you remeber what was been check before you uncheck anything in the boxes).

4.Check only - manually manage music and video and press apply (bottom right of itune).

5.Wait for it to finish the process (it should delete everything).

6.Then it is up to you.... either go by each tap and sync each one (info, apps, tones, music, movies, TVshows, podcast and photos) or uncheck manually manage music and check whatever it used to be before you unchecked everything.

7.All done, Everything should be working perfectly.

Please shared to other that needed help

Appologiez to my behalf the language, Not really good at English grammas LOL

Sorry but this does not work unless all you want to synch is one or two tracks and not a whole music library.

Apple have broken this process in IOS7 so theu either need to let us rever to IOS6 or theuy ned to fix it.

Well i dont know about that.... i just happened to brought my iphone5 s today and update it to IOS 7.0.4.

and what happened then afer restore my iphone is that it i put some new songs and photos and try to sync it.

after those long wait for waiting for change to be applied....nothing happen, it's just stuck there.

i try to restore iphone and restore backup nothing change.

then i try manually manage music and video, it make everything working perfectly

and it wasnt just sync one or two track.... it my whole itune music library

sorry, but i dont know what's wrong with your one but the steps i gave out is working just fine for me.

Both OS X Mavericks on my 9 month old Mini Server with 16 GB RAM, and iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S, have been an unmitigated disaster. Both of my devices are drastically slower, buggy, and prone to crashing. Apple charges more because you USED TO provide superior products that worked well and KEPT WORKING. What is wrong with Apple suddenly ? Now that I just updated my iPhone 4S to 7.0.4, it is even worse, and I cannot get my song playlists to sync correctly. Please fix these problems imediately, or I will leave Apple and never return.

Interesting, but I have this problem with my iPad and I have NO music in it...

Btw I have 2 iphones and no trouble with them.

Tried every tricks mentionned in this forum and no way to make it works.

Despairing, isnt'it ?

Anyway, thanx for the help.

I am having the same problem with my ipad. A couple of times it has added new apps and if I try to add a movie it will sync that but it won't update my photos. I even tried telling it not to sync my photos but it wouldn't remove them from my ipad. I don't have any music on it so that's not an issue. I used to be such a lover of all things Apple and never had problems but now for the first time I've considered making the switch. It seems like everytime they update something things get worse and worse.

Your resolution worked!! Thank you so much! I think because I restored from iCloud backup and not everything downloaded so I went to iTunes to sync to get my apps

And it wouldn't finish the last step... Stopped the downloading apps and music and it worked. Good call. Everything's working now and it only took 2 days to get my new iPhone 5c playing my music. :-)

I would just like to say I've had the same problems. iPhone 4s randomly deleted contacts and music a couple of days ago so I decided to restore. I think mine is getting hung up with files i put in audiobooks. I'm going to try to stop audiobooks from syncing and see what happens. The problem with this is everytime i try to sync, and it get stuck it places 11 gb of other on my phone which i need to restore to get rid of. With finals around the corner, I am a sad person.😢

In addition to what I said above: I think that if you're having this problem, it would be good to wait a good 10 or 20 minutes just to see if it clears up on its own. I wish I had tried that before going to all the trouble that I did with my "manually managed" workaround. Even with my workaround, it took several minutes to start processing individual songs, and I kinda wonder if it would have worked the regular way if I had given it more time.

I am a professional full time DJ. I purchased the iPad exclusively for DJ use. This means that I am constantly adding and removing tracks. I understand the initial sync will take long but to sync for hours or days is not acceptable when making small changes. After you let it sync for days, how long did it take to sync the next time?

It's amazing that with a $2500 iMac and an $850 5s I have to wait hours to transfer a couple hundred songs. Every iDevice I've owned since 2002 (about 12-15 of them) has synced just fine on all my Macs including my current iMac. Syncing was never a problem.

I've tried all of the less time-intensive solutions mentioned in this thread to no avail.

I refuse to spend an entire day doing things just short of restoring the Mac OS and iOS when this all started with the release iOS7 and iTunes 11.1.3.

Syncing is the most basic and important thing iTunes does with iDevices. I can't believe they can't fix this.

At least come out and admit there is a problem so people don't waste hours of their time trying to guess how to fix it.

Geez.

Sorrry for the rant.

I have not read all of the threads. Perhaps this helps:

- Doing a reset fixes the problem one time. I needed to reset every time I needed to sync.

- When iTunes shows "waiting to sync", simply unplug at the usb jack end and replug. Seems to work.

- We have 7 iOS devices including iOS5, 6 and 7 devices. This only happens on one iPad retina mini. Which happens to have the identical sync as an iPad 3 running iOS6. I would suggest this is neither an OS X nor a iOS issue but a hardware issue.

GUYS THIS IS IMPORANT WE NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP

It appears that Apple has so far been unable to fix this problem. I propose we give them all the information they need to troublehsoot it. I have created a free survey that goes over the basic points. Maybe they can round it down to a specific attribute?

PLEASE TAKE TIME AND FILL THE INFO OUT https://www.quicksurveys.com/s/n4DMr5

Wow, only been a couple of hours and already I am starting to see a trend form. --> iOS 7 <--
