Why do I keep getting error safebrowsing.clients.google.com when syncing Itunes with Ipad 3 or Iphone 6s

I just bought an IPhone 6s Plus and now when I try to sync the IPhone or the Ipad I keep getting error safebrowsing.clients.google.com and says it can't sync it? Why is this happening?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1

Here is an explanation of safebrowsing - http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/101556/what-is-safari-safe-browsing-dat a-and-why-does-it-need-to-copy-every-tim… and a couple of ideas as to how to suppress the message. It is related to Mobile Safari. Others have seen this on version 2.5.5.5 after the update, and some have rolled back to 12.5.4.42 to eliminate it.


It used to be common on older versions of iTunes, but like tt2, I have not seen it on the last few versions of iTunes.

Try turning off your network before you sync if the message is causing the sync to fail. Turn it back on when the sync is complete. I found a post on the web earlier this week that Apple has acknowledged this is an issue in version 12.5.5.5, but take that with a grain of salt.
