iTunes "Waiting for items to copy" perpetual loop


Does your sync stop at the last step and stay on waiting for items to copy?

Here are some things to try:
1) Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
2) Remove Voicememos from phone and also uncheck the box next to Voice Memos in Music.
3) Restart iPhone
4) Restart Computer
5) Turn off Genius
6) Reset Sync History
7) Delete iPod Photo Cache (in Pictures)
8) Check for updates. (In theory this shouldn't have anything to do with it.)
9) Manually sync each category minus apps.

If that doesn't work contact Apple Support.

  1. I was wondering if you know how to reinstall tones onto an ipod after this procedure. Any information would be appreciated.

    1. In what sense? If the ringtones are in iTunes the above procedure should work. You can check and uncheck the Sync Ringtones to see if that puts them on the iPod. If they are not in iTunes then try doing a transfer of purchases otherwise the ringtones will have to be repurchased.
