IPhone taking a long time to sync?

I recently got a new laptop and tried to sync my iphone with it for the first time today. It's already been a couple of hours and it's still syncing. (ITunes says that it's "waiting for changes to be applied"). I don't even have that many songs (Just 300ish)

Is this normal? If not what could have gone wrong?

Restart both iphone and laptop

  • Why tf is it taking so long to get my iPhone 5? I ordered my I phone the on September 21st… They said 2 - 3 weeks… It's almost been a whole month? Why.
  • Why is my iPhone taking forever to sync? This is all I see when I sync. I just installed iTunes and this is my first time syncing to this computer. I just upgraded to iOS 7 today Also, my iPhone doesn't have the "Syncing please don't remove" like it does on my other computer. Mark, I find your lack of knowledge disturbing. I saw your avatar though and I was surprised. Usually Americans are smart *sarcasm*
  • Why is my iphone 4 taking so long to ship? - 1 I just purchased an iphone 4 two days ago (Monday.) According to the tracking information my iphone should be delivered by today ( December 5th.) However, the order status is still under processing. I got the at&t carrier.
  • Why is my iPhone 4 taking so long to restore? I jailbroke it and now I'm trying to restore it so that it is unjailbroken. I plugged it into iTunes at 7:00 and it went into recovery mode. It has now been recovering for the past two hours. What is taking so long? What can I do?
