    Are you using a Mac or Windows? Usually you see messages like that in iTunes when you have media/apps that were purchased with more than 5 accounts. I too have items I bought with three different accounts, and my wife's account and my daughter's account, so if I try to sync one more account's media I get that message if the items are protected or have some digital rights attached. Alternatively, I've had some issues in the past when I've deleted a cache of photos that iTunes optimized for the iPhone.

    YOu can deauthorize one or more accounts in your iTunes library, and start syncing again to determine which accounts media is the issue.
