Wating for Sync to start (taking forever).

Hi Chris,

Believe or not!!!!!! I did something "stupid" I turned off my iPhone, turned on again and re-connected into my computer, I started again the Sync and . . . It goes thru!!!!!!!! So, I could synchronize again my iPhone with my computer and made a backup!!!!!

Once again, Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!

Cheers and take care.

Once again, THANK YOU for your help.

Now on, if someone has problems with Sync, try first to turn off and then on the iPhone (just in case something happen when they were adding songs to iTunes).

Thanks Chris.

Now, the only thing we need is SOMEONE who knows how to answer the question.

Hope and wish there is someone with a correct answer (as always).

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Chris, thanks a lot for your comment but I forgot to say I am running with the most updated iTunes version available (12.0.1.26) and I did my last sync on Sunday Oct. 26th. and everything went OK.

It is the same iOS 8, the same iPhone 5s my same library and my same iTunes (12.0.1.26) I have NO IDEA what did I did incorrectly.

Cheers.

Hi Ralph,

Yes, I have tried to sync my phone since yesterday night about three times, two times yesterday one time today. The problem persisting.

Thanks Ralph.

Hi Chris,

Yes, I did it yesterday and today, but problem persist.

Thanks a lot for your interest.

Hi Chris,

I did it, I went into iTunes / Edit / Preferences / Tab Devices and pressed the buton (box) "Reset Sync History". then I press OK and went out.

I went out from iTunes, shuted down the computer, re-started, re-open iTunes, re-connected the iPhone and "tried" to Sync, and THE SAME message, "Waiting Sync to start" but NOTHING.

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions, I am still unable to sync my iPhone.

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the delay, I did EVERYTHING you told me to do, that is, I validate the driver were installed and the services were running, and they were running as you said.

So, I went to part two, I backed up my iTunes Library and I removed iTunes following the document you told me and I get it from apple support page (as you said). I validate the programs and files were not in my computer anylonger after they were removed.

I downloaded the iTunes software and installed iTunes once again, ALL MY MUSIC, MY BOOKS, MY PODCAST, MY PICTURES, EVERYTHING was there again (as the document said).

BUT, I tried again to Sync my iPhone and ... THE SAME thing is happening "Waiting for Sync to Start".

There is a program inside iTunes in Tab HELP / Run Diagnostics I ran it and EVERYTHING PASSED, even the Sync test, so, THIS IS VERY STRANGE.

Thanks a lot for ALL THE INFORMATION you gave me, really I APPRECIATE all your time and knowledge, but, SORRY I have NO IDEA what I am doing wrong.

Fernando.
