iTunes synching my ipad bookmarks continuously.

I'm trying to synch my ipad on my Windows 7 64bit PC before I upgrade the IOS5 (what a pain that looks likely to be) but can't even get it to finish synching in iTunes (version 10.5.0.142) ) before doing that.

It seems to stick on synching the bookmarks and lingers there (not frozen) with the timer turning continuously. I assume there is some conflict. All I an assume is that because I've probably updated th bookmarks in my PC (Internet Explorer 9) and iPad separately since they last synched then the sysnching has gotten confused. But, how do I resolve this problem as I need to move on? Bookmarks are only step two of six in the synching process so it's very frustrating.

The iPAD's general setting says it's Version 4.3.5 (8L1) though i'm not sure oif thats the IOS version (if not then I don't know where to find it)

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3

I've have eventually upgraded to iOS5 (after many unsuccessful attempts) through iTunes by (with great reluctance) switching off my Kasperspy Internet Security software just before the download completed and then turning it back on again afterwards, and then doing a scan.

It seems to work though I have still have the original problem of not synching Favorites / bookmarks with Internet Explorer. I've had to disable this synch aspect so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Still no success. I've ensured that every entry in my bookmarks has been deleted on the iPad but it still does not synchronise with my PC via iTunes. I'm now left with just a Reading list, History, and Bookmarks bar on the iPad.

Is the bookmarks bar always there or is that a hang up from synchronising with IE on my PC? If the latter then is there a way that it can be deleted on the iPad so that I can try again in synchronising?

I should have added, could it be something to do with iCloud? That downloaded as an Apple update on my PC before I updated to iOS5 o nthe iPad2.

I just looked at various setttings and have tried turning off the sync to iCloud and synching to iTunes only but that does not resolve the issue.
