Arno, I had the same case where the folder was not on the server and what I have done I created a folder called SyncServices on the server, restarted the macbook pro and it worked fine

Thanks

If you could indicate the OS versions, someone visiting here might be able to help. Sorry, I have no idea.

I have the same issue but i do not have a folder called SyncServices.

I own a macserver, an imac and a macbook
The imac has the user account stored on the server.
The macbook is an mobile account which syncs whenever i login.

Any hints ? The folder ain’t on the server either.

Whoa! I had this issue for about 3 weeks straight and found your fix on my 3rd round of Google searches. It totally did the trick! Thanks Fayid. (I have Mac OS 10.5.6 and iTunes 8.2b7 and an iPhone with OS 2.2.1.)

BTW, the same steps for non-Unix hackers is

1. Quit iTunes
2. Navigate to your home folder (the one that’s usually named after you and has a little house next to it)
3. Inside your home folder go to /Library/Application Support/SyncServices
4. Inside that SyncServices folder, you’ll see a folder called Local. Rename it and move it somewhere else, or just drag it to the Trash.
5. Restart your computer.

Thanks again -
