Usually when this error message comes up, there is either corrupt data on the iphone or the computer.
First of all, disconnect the iphone and completely quit itunes.
Now, reset sync history as per the steps previously posted.
Next, open itunes and itunes preferences (itunes at the top of the screen > preferences).
Then go to the syncing or iphone tab and check the box to disable automatic syncing with all iphones and ipods.
Now click ok to close the preferences pane.
Connect your ipod and go to the info tab.
Set itunes to replace contacts and calendar information with what is on the computer.
Click apply in the bottom right corner.
If it is something in the iphone that is causing this error, this should overwrite it.
To narrow down what is causing this error on the computer, watch itunes when syncing the iphone to see what is trying to sync when this error comes up.
After the error message comes up, go into the iphone settings in itunes and uncheck the last thing itunes was trying to sync(usually contacts or calendars), then click apply in the bottom right corner.
This will start the sync process again.
If it is contacts that is causing this error, try creating a group in address book, move a few contacts into the group.
Then sync only that group to the iphone.
Keep this process up until you've narrowed down which contact or contacts is causing the issue.
If it is calendars causing the issue, you would go through the same process with a new calendar.
Hope this helps.
