How do I sync Safari bookmarks onto iPad?

I may be missing something (new iPad and also new to Mobil me) but I cannot figure out how to sync my Safari bookmarks onto my iPad. This would include the Safari bar.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Ken

I just figured out that I had not opened my Mobilme account on my laptop. I have now synced my Safari bookmarks to my iPad. Do not how to do this works without a Mobilme account but with one it works.

Problem syncing Safari Bookmarks onto the New Ipad

I need help syncing Safari bookmarks via Macbook(not icloud compatible) onto the New Ipad.

You need to connect the ipad to the computer then make sure safari is set to sync in itunes and complete a sync, it will sync that way.
You can go thru anything else you want to sync also and set that before you actualy sync. If your gonna sync then only do it once.

Hi needleman_mark,
Happy Holidays!
The best way to keep your bookmarks synced between your iPad, iPhone and Mac is to use iCloud. Check your iCloud settings on all three devices and make sure Safari is turned on. Click on the link below for complete details. I've highlighted some of the key information for you:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203519
Troubleshooting on iOS
First, confirm that you’ve turned on iCloud Bookmarks:
On iOS 6 or iOS 7, go to Settings > iCloud and check that Safari is turned on.
On iOS 5, go to Settings > iCloud and check that Bookmarks is turned on.
Next, try each of these steps, testing after each step to see if the issue is resolved:
Try installing the latest version of iOS supported by your device.
Go to Settings > iCloud and make sure you are signed in to the same iCloud account that you are using on your other supported devices.
Make sure that your iOS device is online by attempting to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List will not update in the Safari app. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Troubleshooting on OS X Lion or later
First, confirm that you've turned on iCloud bookmarks:
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
Make sure that the checkbox labeled Safari (or Bookmarks) is selected.
Next, try each of these steps, testing after each step to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure that you are using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. If necessary, review the steps for finding your OS X version information.
Make sure that your computer is online by attempting to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List will not update in Safari. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Wishing you all the best this Holiday season!

How do I sync Safari bookmarks to update on iPad?

Years ago, when I first had the iPhone and iTunes on my Mac, Safari bookmarks would always update from bookmarks on my Mac and reflect accordingly on the iPhone. I also see that bookmarks do not update on my iPad now either. How do I get back the behavior from the 'good old days' to make safari bookmarks update when I sync my iPad and iPhone through iTunes on the Mac? There must be some settings that have been changed, but I have not been able to search them out in settings.
Please Help,
TIA,
Ken

Just posting here has made me start searching other similar posts, and while the exact answer was not written here I began searching my iTunes settings and saw that iCloud is the culprit. I do not use iCloud as it keeps giving me an error message that my username is wrong. What a world, I have no idea how to fix that nor do I care about iCloud. I simply want my phone to sync with my computer. I did find that settings to turn off iCloud were on my phone and I suppose also on my iPad which I will look at next.
I turned off all iCloud links on my iPhone and now the bookmarks came beautifully over from my computer to my iPhone.
Thanks Apple for having these forums to help users.

How to force sync Safari Bookmarks from my laptop to the iPhone?

I have "cleansed" and rearranged my Safari Bookmarks on my laptop and would like to have the same structure and set of bookmarks on my iPhone, but syncing apparently does not change the bookmarks on the iPhone.??? I am puzzled. What do I do wrong?
How can I delete all bookmarks on the iPhone and force a synchronisation with the laptop? (In System Preferences>Mobile Me the Safari Bookmarks are checked).
thanks in advance for any pointers/ suggestions/solutions.
Cheers,
Veit

Thanks a lot for your instant response. I am now in iTunes>Info>Advanced, but there the only options after Replace Info on the iPhone is Mail Accounts and that is greyed out. The Web Browser heading above the Advanced heading says: Your bookmarks are being synced with iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air syncing settings can be changed on your iPhone.
But on the iPhone I don't find where to change these settings. Any suggestions?
Thanks a million.

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.

Synchronization is done by your email provider. This will depend on whether or not your email provider supports synchronization.
You should define the email protocol as imap on both devices.

How to sync Safari bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air?

How does one transfer, or sync Safari bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air without involving iCloud?

Give Xmarks a try, they have an iOS app as well. It will not sync directly to Safari on the iPad, you open the links through the app.

How do I sync the bookmarks from Safari with those in Firefox?

I have a PC running Firefix and Firefox Sync okay. I have an ipad 2 with Firefox Home installed and connected okay to my FF sync account.
I was expecting FF Home to sync the bookmarks on ipad Safari with those on the desktop. Apparently not so.
I can see the desktop bookmarks within the FF Home app on the ipad.
How do I...
- Properly sync bookmarks between the two systems (FF on desktop and Safari on iPad?)
- Failing that, how do I sync the bookmarks on the iPad with Firefox? Currently it seems to be a one-way transfer (i.e. I can only access the bookmarks on the desktop PC from the iPad)
Thanks
James

Thanks for the quick response. At least I know now, and won't waste any time tying to get it to do something it wasn't coded for.

How can I import Safari bookmarks to my iPhone 6

I simply want to export Safari bookmarks from my Mac to iPhone 6. I do not want to use cloud. ITunes lets me sync contacts and calendars (along with music, movies and all the other crap I do not want to sync) but does not offer me the option of syncing safari bookmarks. How the **** do I do it?

How? You use simply iCloud. That's your only choice.
