iTunes Could Not Sync Calendars To The iPhone “iPhone_Name” Because The Sync Server Failed

Problem:
I have been syncing my iPhone using USB that connects to my computer (PC with Windows 7 OS) and I did not have any issue synchronizing my Calendar, Contacts etc. until recently when I tried to sync my iPhone with my computer (using iTunes of course), I suddenly received the following error message:  
  iTunes Failed

Solution: Solving this issue quite easy. Just follow the step by step below.
1. Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes (If iTunes does not launch automatically, double click the application to launch iTunes).
2. Once iTunes is running, click on the iPhone in the left navigation pane
3. Once the iPhone is highlighted click the Info tab and scroll to the bottom to see the Advanced settings as shown below
itunes

4. Under “Replace Information On The iPhone”, check box next to Calendars (this will cause the iPhone calendar to be completely overwritten with the calendar items from the calendar you are syncing with)
5. Click “Apply” to start the synchronization.

I hope this helps!

    On my setup (MacBook Pro, iPhone 5, latest iOS for both) it looks like I will have to do the above step each time I want to sync my phone with the laptop ... too bad it can't be automatic, but at least it works, thanks
