Error mingling data

Question

I've read a few topics about this error mainly being reported while syncing iCal but mine seems to be a much bigger problem. Contacts [over 100 I refuse to insert manually, this is one of the reasons I got the phone. It SHOULD be seemless in this regard] , mail accounts, and iCal will NOT sync over. I just purchased it [the phone] last night and I have so far:
-updated to newest iTunes
-repaired permissions
-completely restored/updated iPhone
-selected "erase/replace data on phone"
-have attempted syncing each by themselves [only contacts or only mail] with and without selecting "erase data on phone"
-erasing the "sync history" or whatever that was in iCal prefs.
-so far the only thing that will sync are pictures and music [no movies to sync]
Funny thing is, I don't even have a mail account or any data [other than a few meetings/appointments] in iCal setup in my computer. Though I know I WILL set up a Yahoo/Gmail account in the future because my current email accounts don't have POP access. Even though it might seem pointless, syncing no data should NOT produce an error like this because if it does, it might just blow up if I try to actually sync an account to it.
I have searched the forum for this info but so far I only see people having this error for iCal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Edit: I should note that not selecting "erase data on phone" does not produce any errors but nothing is synced over.

Answer 1

bit of ical data, just a couple of appointments. The error always says "error mingling data with the iphone".
Nothing gets synched, just have the one contact I have inserted manually into my iphone since I've had it. Ohhhhh about 120 contacts roughly.
And the strange url? I just prefer using brackets instead of parenthesis and for whatever reason this forum sees brackets as meaning there has to be some code in it, even though there is no legit html or bb code in between. Just text between brackets. So i'll fix that up.
edit: well it seems I can't edit the original post so that ridiculous code is there to stay. Oh Apple, you try to make things simple but it ends up frustrating most people. (a touch sensitive multi-button mouse, I get a call every single day about people not understanding the concept of using the right click. but I digress)
After visiting the local "genius" bar they have concluded that it was Limewire that caused damage to the disk and most likely DiskWarrior will sort my issues out. Personally I think the Limewire excuse is ridiculous since I actually have never used the version on my laptop after I initially downloaded it. I figured I would keep that contained on my desktop though have never bothered to delete it from the laptop. I have ran DW recently though I suppose another pass is worth it (never thought of it) so after I do that I will let you guys know though nobody cares.
