The option to sync with Safari isn't available.

iTunes Version: 10.4.1.10

iOS Version: 4.3.5

Desktop OS: Win7 64 Ultimate

Attempting to sync my safari bookmarks to my iPad but when I go to Info->Other->Sync bookmarks the drop down menu doesn't list any browers as available sync sources. [See attached screenshot] Why doesn't iTunes detect safari?

Note that this function works fine with the same desktop and my iPhone 4.

And of course you post it and you find the solution. Turns out it was related to an iTunes sync error. Here's the fix

Unplug iPhone and close iTunes
Open task manager and kill the process SyncServer (for good measure kill any “Apple” process)
Browse to “C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\AppleComputer” and rename the SyncServices folder to SyncServices_Old
Reconnect iPhone and open iTunes.
