That Sync-ing Feeling

I've experienced some amazing sync-ing issues on iPhone over the last month. It's been a combination of operator error and lack of intuitiveness on the iTunes iPhone management system.

I've come to the realization that because there's many ways of doing things, it's very easy to get screwed up:

• I sync my Google calendar using these instructions, because iTunes' iPhone management center only offers Outlook sync-ing...
• I entered email accounts separate from the above instructions, because it makes more sense for me, though you may wish to sync your Google mail account like they tell you to
  
• I should only use the iTunes iPhone sync of contacts, and not the above instructions, else chaos and deletion of perfectly useful contacts ensues--this has plagued me for 2 mths and I just figured out why, operator error based on above instructions and iTunes sync-ing issues
  
• My email accounts are sync-ing just fine they way I have them, thank the cybergods
  

I hate writing "synching" because I know it's wrong but it feels oh-so-right when typing it. I also hate writing "syncing," because I don't trust it as being correct. I like sync-ing ^_^ it's a safe, congruent way of saying it.
The above, just thought I'd throw that in there. Courtesy of my anal retentive biatch editor side...

Much luck and sync-ing.
