I can think of several occasions where, after installing a new OS on my PC (I do that a lot) and having entered a few important appointments and contacts in Outlook, I chose the wrong option at the first sync and let the PC overwrite the Nino/iPaq/Dash or what device I was using at the moment.
My fault, of course - not Activesync's...

Syncing has always seemed to mystify me. Of all the options I've chosen they all just go to hell. I really seem to need it pretty frequently too. The biggest issue is that I use a HTC Vogue when I'm in the office but it's ill advised to use such a small touch phone when I'm out on a construction site or surveying. I really would like to have a better solution to all of this. Outlook and ActiveSync drive me insane.

Default ActiveSync is generally a problem

I seem to always be tweaking AS to get it to work consistently. Also, there are times when my phone is out of sync while I am away from my PC and can't get a number or the address of an appointment because it is still in Outlook at the office.

Default Computer Crash while syncing & WM OS either crashed or did hard reboot simultaneously

I was attempting to do a sync with my laptop and my computer crashed requiring service by an "authorized" technician, since it was still under warranty. And wouldn't you know it, I guess the computer crash caused my windows mobile OS to malfunction or something, because, I lost all of my data (contacts, appointments, text messages, etc.). This was a nightmare because, I had just switched to the new phone, and gave my old phone to the shelter for battered women (they refurbish the phones and give them to the women so that they can have a phone to make emergency phone calls if they are in danger). I had no back-up of my info. Having access to Myphone will certainly help prevent this from ever happening to me again.

I sync with a home PC and a work PC and when I went from my Cingular 3125 to my Blackjack II I synced the Blackjack at home first and when I synced at the office I ended up turning all of my repeating meetings into static one time meetings each week. It was an incredible mess to cleanup.

Ouch! That happened to me on more than one occasion. Another reason why I enjoy syncing directly to the cloud

sync fails me all the time because I like to sync at both work and home, I want to keep both work & home contacts & schedules on the phone. But I don't want to my work data on my home PC or home data on my work PC. I don't want to set specific flags or groups on my contacts at home or work -- this should be out of the box behaviour -- or maybe the redmondites only have a work live...

Unhappy Syncing?

AS4.5 should have been killed ages ago. Still causing me daily headaches!
