How can you sync safari bookmarks between iphone 5 and ipad mini retina? IOS 7.1.2

The syncing works between my iMac and iPhone on one hand and between iMac and iPad on the other. I'm using IOS 7.1.2. I made sure iCloud is on on IOS devices, same iCloud account, made sure there is no problem with the WiFi...I appreciate any help I can get. thanx

Finally I got a solution from an Apple guy today. First we did the following steps on an iPad and then on iPhone.
Basically, it comes down to this:
general/restore/ erase all content and settings
set up the iPhone/iPad as a new device
type your iCloud account info
once everything is up and running, wait for a while and first check on contacts, calendars, notes if it's syncing with the iCloud, then open safari and look for the other device. In my case it worked and iPad finally detected iPhone and I could see the safari tabs from the iPhone on the iPad.
But then, Iphone still couldn't detect the iPad, so the guy said the original problem was probably in iPhone. And so we did the whole thing again on iPhone and then I finally had my tabs from all devices visible on every device.
Thanks for your help anyway.

  • How can I sync magazine purchase between iPhone and ipad?

    Just subscribed to a few magazines on the newsstand via my iPhone but can't see them on the ipad? What's the way out? Thanks.

    Hey Lkr100,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to sync calendar events between your iPhone and iPad (3rd gen). I would recommend using iCloud, which you can read about here:

  • How do I sync game progress between iphone and ipad

    I have several  "long term progress" games on my iphone 5.I bought an ipad mini and would like to sync the progress of each game on both devises.I have have game game progress erased in the past, possible from incorrect procedure.
    What is the best was to sync devises. I was told at the Apple store to sign in each game with Facebook and the progress would then be the same on either devise. Any proven methods that work ?

  • HT3819 can you home share apps between iphones and ipads?

    just wondering if we're able to share apps in the house hold.  I have iphone 4, ios 5.1.  My husband has iphone 4, ios 4.3, (still hasn't upgraded to 5....lazy.)
    and we have an ipad2.
    I'm just learning about the home sharing thing.....any help is appreciated!

    Sounds like you got the answer you were looking for, but I wanted to add that when you have home sharing up on the computer and the home share account is activated, the home share account listed in iTunes has a little triangle to the right of the account name, and if you click that a submenu appears that lists the apps videos etc. on the other account you then can add those to your other devices/computers the same way you add songs, just drag them into your iTunes library listed at the top of the column. 
    I just wanted to add this to this thread since I found that it clears things up for other people searching for an answer.

  • How to sync mailboxes / folders between iPhone and iPad

    How does one sync email folders between iPhone and iPad ?

    Hi Doc,
    I have just been on the phone to Apple for over 2 hours ! Both devices were already on IMAP . It turned out that one particular folder was a rogue and did not sync between desktop, iPhone and iPad. I created a new folder dragged every email into it from my desk top , deleted the original folder and all emails in that folder are now synched. Even Apple was baffled but the problem is now resolved so thank you for your assistance .

  • How can I print from iCal on iPhone and iPad?

    HHow can I print from iCal on iPhone and iPad?

    Hi EScott,
    This is an easy fix. You indicate that you get these emails just fine on your desktop, so they are not getting lost. They are just not making it to your iPhone or iPad. This tells me that you need to change the preferences of the accounts on your desktop machine. Each account will have a setting for what to do with mail on the server after you have checked it. The choices are to leave on the server,  or to delete it.
    If you have it set to delete, it won't be there when you later go check your mail from your mobile device. Most of the people I see post here with email issues have the opposite problem from you. They check their email from the phone during the day, then can't get it on the desktop later. It sounds like your iPhone and iPad are already set to leave on server.
    All you have to do is go into your mail client on the desktop and in the individual preferences for each account change this setting. You may also want to check how you have deleted mail set up. It also can be set to be removed immediately, at a later time (like a week, month), or never. If you have it set to delete it won't be in your trash folder.
    Good luck.

  • TS4001 How can I share Safari bookmarks between two iCloud accounts using IOS 7 and Mavericks?

    Before iOS 7 and Mavericks, we were able to share Safari bookmarks between all of our devices.  My wife had the primary iCloud account which was setup to share bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders.  A secondary iCloud account was setup on my phone for only my email.  Each phone had our private email accounts segregated and we shared all the bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders.  When I saved a bookmark on my phone, I could see it later on our iMac or iPad.  Now only my wife can sync bookmarks between her phone and the iMac or iPad.  This *****!!  This worked beautifully before we upgraded to the latest versions of OS & iOS.  Is there a work around or a new way to set things up?  I don't want to be stuck reading Safari on my phone when I have a 24" iMac sitting in the living room.  I don't want to see all of my wife's email on my phone either.  Do we need three iCloud accounts now?  One main for sharing and two separate accounts for only email?  Need help!  Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

    David,
    Thanks for the reply.  That's how I set it up originally.  Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality.  I found the following on the TUAW website.  The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options.  This is the problem.  Everything worked great before we updated.  I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick?  Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need.  We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too.  Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

  • ITunes: How can I sync my podcasts between Macs and iDevices?

    Hi,
    Using iTunes for a decade now, I still having the same problem that I don't know how to solve:
    How can I sync my podcasts subscriptions and play states between Macs and iDevices?
    I am having two MPBs and one iMac, as well as an iPhone and iPad (yes, making someone rich in California), all of them are linked to the same iTunes/Apple account, they are not in the same Wifi.
    What I would like to have that all these iTunes (plural) have the same Podcasts with the same played/unplayed states...
    Is there any way to do that now, possible with iCloud? I am completely confused now that they have introduced podcast.app for iDevices...
    Thank you for any idea for good solution!

    From what I can tell, the Podcast app should do for your iOS devices what you're describing--as long as they all use the same Apple ID. Here's an article with some helpful information about the app:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5295
    To keep your subscriptions in sync across all devices, the article says this:
    "To subscribe to a podcast on your device, tap the Subscribe button from the podcast provider's page from the Podcast catalog. Enable subscription syncing to keep your subscription up-to-date across your iOS devices. On your iOS device tap Settings > Podcasts > Sync Subscriptions > ON.
    To sync playback position, the article says this:
    "Playback Sync automatically allows you to sync your playback position to all of your iOS devices with the Podcasts app installed, using your Apple ID. In order for Playback Sync to sync your playback position, you must be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID on your iOS devices."
    As for keeping playback position on your iOS devices in sync with iTunes on your Macs, you'll need iTunes 11 on all your Macs. So if you're still using iTunes 10 or earlier, you'll need to run a software update to get the latest version. Incidentally, I came across this discussion, which offers some helpful setup/troubleshooting tips about using this new podcast playback syncing feature:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4555757
    Hope this is helpful!

  • Cannot sync bookmarks between iPhone and iPad

    I have the latest iOS running on both the iPhone and iPad. I have the latest version of iBooks on both. I am running the latest version of iTunes on the latest version of Lion on my Mac and am logged into my iCloud account on all devices, with servcies enabled throughout all devices. In iBooks, I have enabled sync bookmarks on all devices. And just in case someone asks, yes they all have access to a wifi network.
    However, my bookmarks are not in sync at all. In fact no device duplicates the same bookmarks.
    So what is going on here?
    I just saw an Apple ad with the tag line "it just works" ... Nothing could be farther from the truth. In the absence of any instructions, I feel like I have reached the edge of intuitiveness here ...

    Seriously, why don't my Bookmarks synchronize between my devices?
    Is this an iCloud problem or is it an iBooks problem?
    Obviously selecting sync bookmarks in the settings for each device is not enough ...

  • How do I sync my email on iPhone and iPad?

    My hotmail account does not sync between my iPhone and my iPad although the iPad does sync email between itself and my computer.

    You can setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB of storage space for free. Then your mail will automatically sync via Wi-Fi between your iPhone and iPad.

    The iMessage app on an iPhone can send SMS messages when an iMessage path is not available; on an iPad it cannot, because SMS is an adjunct to the voice telephone system, which the iPad does not use.

  • How can I play app games for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

    Is it possible to play app-games made for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

    The iPhone and iPad run iOS and the Mac runs OS X.
    Apps written for iOS will not run on Mac.
    Only if the developer has written a version for OS X will it run on the Mac and you would have to buy and install that version of the Mac.

  • Virtual Leash between iPhone and iPad mini

    Hello,
    Is there any application working like a virtual leash between an Iphone 4S and an Ipad mini?
    My problem is I already use bluetooth between my Iphone and Ipad for getting internet from the Iphone to the Ipad.
    Devices I have seen are using bluetooth as well and will stop my connection for internet I guess.
    Thank's for your help.
    Etienne

    No. You can sync Apps by using the Same apple ID on both devices. But the Apps contents remains on the device unless it has a specific feature that backs up to the cloud or something similar that can then be retrieved on the other device.
