iPhone won't sync address book/email/safari

mine did the same thing. I added a group in my address book and had it sync that group only... After that it synced all of my email and stuff too. You should try it.
Tried a reset, still no luck here. No way to create an extra group, as that is greyed out..
Same thing :-( Is apple support around this time of day?
I still have the same problem. I create new contacts and groups in Address Book and iTunes doesn't see any of them. Even after Restoring the iPod, restarting the computer -- everything!
No contacts, no email, no safari! I have that stuff backed up to .Mac -- you'd think that might HELP!

No bookmarks, mail accounts, etc
I can sync music, movies and contacts but not bookmarks, mail accounts.
It says iPhone disconnected. Arrrggg.

Why are people having issues with only certain syncs? It's really annoying and I think iTunes is to blame. I restored the damn thing -- maybe reinstalling iTunes will help...
Anyone have ideas?

Okay, I found one answer about contacts. In address book, there is a setting in preferences to "Share" your address book with others/other apps. Enabling that fixed everything for contacts.
Ok - this actually helped some. I don't know what setting you were talking about. However, I did notice I had "synchronize with exchange" checked in my address book preferences. I turned that off and rebooted the phone, and I was able to sync. I don't know which of those two solved the problem, but when I got home tonight and plugged in, everything was good.
What worked for me was using iSync preferences to clear the sync history on my mac (see my post on this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/322443/).
Hey BLUE my snc unchecks too!!
did you find a fix in itunes for the INFO sync issue?

I had to re-install os x (as sync would lock up when trying to launch) I performed a complete erase.. all data resides on ext hard drives, so it was painless. after updating software everything worked perfectly.
I can sync, but I end up getting duplicate entries and they keep building. I ended up disabling .mac syncing thinking it was a problem.
I did the same thing. I also went into the general "settings" of the iPhone and went to Reset -- then Reset All Settings. Suddenly, my music (which had synced but didn't show up) -- appeared!!
Try this it worked for me
My contacts, Ical and Safari bookmarks didnt sync no matter what box I checked. Finally found some tips from apple support page.
RESTART YOUR COMPUTER! Thats all I needed to do and now I'm all synced up and humming!
Now does anyone know if we can synced with our main computer AND our laptops? Let me know what you hear!

OK, I had been having the same sync issues with my PC; Vista or XP pro. Here is what needs to be done. In Outlook (at least in the 2007 version), go to Tools then Trust Center. Click on the Add-ins button. In the window that appears, you should see Outlook iTunes Sync Addin. That needs to be active in order for your contacts to sync. Next click on the Go button at the bottom and make sure that Outlook iTunes Sync Addin is selected and press OK. That worked for me after trying every other thing in the book, including uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook, iTunes, and resetting my iPhone.
