The Sync Services wait time definitely sounds suspicious. If you bring Spanning Sync back into the mix and the problems come back, try resetting Apple Sync Services sync history:
* Open iSync (in /Applications) * Go to preferences * Click Reset Sync History * Try syncing again Also, I've seen cases where people have thousands of duplicate events that they didn't know about. You can identify these using our Spanning Tools for Mac ( http://spanningtools.com/download ).
