I have tried renaming the SyncServices Local file, have re-installed iTunes, and researched this for hours. Frustrating... Do you think it is necessary to reinstall Microsoft Office? If not, do you have any other suggestions? I don't know if it made any difference, but they changed the name of my pst file and user name. Is there somewhere the iPhone may be retaining the old info and not connecting b/c of the name change? Many, many thanks in advance!

If you've renamed it/deleted it, make sure you reboot afterwards to ensure that it is not still being associated and also to enforce the sync service to restart.

I did this in my user directory in Documents and Settings, not sure if it would exist in other user directories and need to be renamed there as well. Any ideas?

Try downloading Onyx and see if that can repair your disk/permissions. //ian Hey,

I'm on OSX 10.5.8 I'm having problems with permission, I believe that might be the root of the problem. I tried Disk Utility, but it didn't work. I could do a reboot from the installation disk, but I have some programs that I no longer have the disks for ;) Hacked. I read on another blog that deleting the SyncServices folder worked for that. Any advice? Wow, thanks for the quick response. I’m on OSX 10.5.8
