One Note: An error occurred while attempting to sync this section or notebook

So this is one that comes up often, when attempting to sync up a One Note Notebook with a SharePoint 2010 site, you will get a red icon on the notebook and some variation of: "An error occurred while attempting to sync this section or notebook."

Basically this is due to the fact that "Require Documents to be checked out" is enabled on the library.  From everything I've seen online, this is a known bug with Microsoft, but no fix available that I could find.  Now the workaround of course is to uncheck that setting in the Library Settings/ Versioning Settings, BUT forcing Check out is a huge part of certain governance standards, so make sure you check with the site users so that they can determine which need is more pressing.
