We need more context to help you:
1) do you mean "syncing" with a Palm, a phone, .Mac? If this is a phone or a palm, what model is it? what carreer? over Bluetooth or over USB?
2) which version of MacOS X are your using?
3) can you open the Console utility (Applications-> Utilities) and reproduce your bug to see if something interesting appears here.

Sorry about that. Here are some additional details.

--I'm trying to synch two different computers (my home computer which is a PowerBook G4 and my office computer which is an iMac G4)

--OS 10.4.5

--In the console, I found this (and have pasted it below). I'm not very familiar with the technical terms in the Console error messages, so I'm not sure if any of this techno-language will be helpful.

Thanks.

Ok, iSync is not exactly your problem (iSync on Tiger syncs for palm and phones only) but .Mac sync is 🙂

Still, you have the problem. The SyndicationAgent log messages are not relevant here, the one about Translator concerns .Mac sync but does not show any error.
Does the time out happen on the home Mac side or one the office one?

Are you behing any firewall or some sort of weird connection to the internet?
Does it happen for all of the type of data you might sync? (For example, test syncing only Address Book, then test sync'ing only Mail rules)
