Solved: Sync Contacts and Safari Bookmarks with iPhone

Camille’s now a proud iPhone owner. Everything with the activation and setup went pretty smoothly with one fairly significant exception: I couldn’t get her contacts in Address Book or her Safari bookmarks to sync. Every time I tried, I’d get the following cryptic (and somewhat circular) message:

iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone

I addition to the above, the process would stall when trying to sync Safari bookmarks.

I was finally able to solve the problem thanks to a find over on Apple’s support forums:

• back up the Apple Address Book
• trash any items in the (user) / Library / ApplicationSupport / SyncServices folder
• restart the computer
• ensure sure that contacts and Safari bookmarks are checked to sync in iTunes
• re-sync
