Bookmark BAR on different devices w/iCloud

Hey guys, this is probably very simple but I can' t figure it out. I want to be able to sync my specific BOOKMARK BAR on 4 different devices (MAC, PC, iPad and iPhone).
I'm able to sync my bookmarks, thats great. But the BAR seems to change on each or I see several BOOKMARK BAR folders in the bookmarks but some are empty and none of it makese sense which to use.
At the end of the day, I just want the same bar on all my devices.

You can choose to use iCloud for syncing iCal, contacts, etc and NOT for syncing  iTunes and other purchases if you prefer to do it that way... There is an option in the iCloud device settings  to continue syncing the old way, by connecting to your 'Mother Mac'.
Personally, I'm going to choose to do things this way, as much of the music that's on my Mac was not bought on iTunes, so won't sync thru icloud anyway.
If you choose to go this way, use your current MobileMe username if you have one ([email protected]) and password... NOT your Apple ID (if it's different, as it is for many folk) .

  • How do I get bookmark bar to match between all my devices?

    My Safari bookmark bar is different on each of my device.  Can I get them to match thru iCloud?

    Yes you can.
    On an iOS device tap Settings > iCloud then switch Safari ON.
    On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Select:  Safari
    Give iCloud a minute or two to sync your bookmarks and bookmarks bar.

  • TS4001 iCloud Syncs my Desktop Bookmark Bar items to my iOS Bookmark Menu, folders only

    I have all of my bookmarks in Safari on my desktop (OS X 10.7.5) via the Bookmark BAR - I have them organized in folders for ease, and I like it that way.
    When I use iCloud to sync Bookmarks to my iOS devices (iPad Retina and iPod Touch, latest iOS), the result is that I end up with a series of bookmark folders in the "Bookmark Menu (not the Bookmark Bar) that duplicates bookmarks and folders that I have on my iMac desktop in the Bookmark Bar.
    Problem 1.  I don't want them in the Bookmark Menu on my iOS devices, I want them in the Bookmark Bar so I can use them from the bar.
    Problem 2.  Even if I wanted to use what ends up on my iOS devices, I can't because none of the bookmarks in the folders are there, only a series of folders.  The only actual bookmarks that are on my iOS devices are those that are not in folders - and again, those few are in the Bookmark Menu, not the Bookmark Bar.
    Can anyone help with this?
    iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011; 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X Lion 10.7.5
    iPod Model PC544LL/A; version 6.1.3
    iPad Model MD515LL/A; version 6.1.3

    So what you are saying is that if I save a url on my desktop Mac as a Boomark Bar item, it SHOULd sync to the Bookmark Bar on my iOS devices?  That was the issue I was complaining about.  It was not.  Please confirm that because I am only assuming that from your last paragraph above.
    As for the whole duplicate thing, from my searching the forums today I realize that is a common "issue" people are complaining about - that their bookmark bar items are also showing in the bookmark menu.  I think that is what you were referring to.
    So I did try your set of steps in your last paragraph above and they did not work.  In fact, nothing seemed to sync except the test Boomark Bar folder addition I made on my iPad which synced to my iPod touch.  Other than that, nothing else synced from my Desktop - neither in my Bookmark Bar or my Boomark Menu.
    Posbily related - Unforntunately, becasue I was having this problem earlier and also had noticed the whole issue with the fact I had all of the same folders on my Desktop Bookmark Menu as I had in my Desktop Bar - I tried to solve that issue by deleting all of the items under my Bookmark Menu, and now I do not have anything in that folder except:
    Recent Tags
    Recently Bookmarked
    Get Bookmark Add-ons
    Feeds (folder with items in it)
    Unsorted Bookmarks (folder empty)
    Is that part of my problem now?
    Thanks,

  • 1 app, 3 devices, 1 iCloud - how can I run the same game on different devices?

    My wife and I share one iTunes account and one iCloud account for 2 iPhone 5's and an iPad.  Our home laptop is a PC running windows 7.  We are not able to both play the same game (specifically Carcassone) at the same time on different devices which is frustrating, how can I make this happen?  Do I need two separate accounts?  Can I have two accounts with a PC?  We don't want to sacrifice the photostream to get it though.
    Thank you,
    Jacob

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • Can I have one apple ID and two iCloud accounts for different devices.

    can I have one apple I'd and numerous iCloud accounts for different devices?

    Yes you can, you just need to go into settings and into icloud, once it says account, login to your desired account

  • Can I combine bookmarks etc from different computers when syncing Firefox or will the main computer erase the other devices' bookmarks, etc?

    I have different bookmarks on the different computers that I want to sync. I want to have all the bookmarks on all the devices. Is this possible when I sync? Thank you.

    Hi!
    Yes, Firefox Sync merges and adds all the info in all the profiles. It doesn't delete the information on any of them. That way you will have the information from any of your devices in the rest of the devices.

  • Can i set up my icloud account on a different device

    I ost my iPod and did not set up an iCoud account on it . I was wondering if I can set it up on a different device and then have it found ?

    If you mean you did not have your iPod associated with your iCloud Apple ID then there is no way to locate it using the iCloud "find my device" feature. The device must be associated with iCloud before you lose it.

  • Why I'm lost my Bookmarks Bar when I upgrade my mobile me to icloud? How can I get it back to my iMac, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad2?

    Why I'm lost my Bookmarks Bar when I upgrade my mobile me to icloud? How can I get it back to my iMac, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad2?

    last thing you can try would be go to settings, general, settings, reset all settings
    if that does not work, a factory restore will be needed...

    I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow.  I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
    You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
    Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
    Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
    Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
    You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
    Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
    Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
    No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
    Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
    Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry.

  • Since adding Yosemite, my bookmarks bar shows bookmarks from a different computer (my work computer). How do I fix this?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite, and now I see that my bookmarks bar in Safari has all of the content from my work computer. Same with my reading list. Eeek! I want to keep these separate.  How do I fix this?

    Hi ..
    It sounds like the Mac that's just been upgraded to Yosemite has Safari enabled in iCloud to sync bookmarks and the reading list.
    Open System Preferences > iCloud then deselect:  Safari

    How do I reset my iCloud old inaccessible email and password with my new iTunes email and password currently working on a different device?  Thanks for any suggestions ,

    TThat's the problem.  I've tried to delete the current icloud account but in order to that you need to put in the old password which I don't have so it kicks me out.

  • Want bookmarks bar to be different on iPad and Mac

    I have my bookmarks synced between my iPad and my MacBook. I want to be able to access the bookmarks between devices but I do not want the bookmark bars on both to match. Is there anything I can do?

    But what if I want my reading list to sync?

  • How do iCloud calendars work with different devices?

    Hi
    iCloud is driving me mad! All I want it to do is what it promised - keep several devices in sync, but it seems to either do nothing or spawn duplicates. Part of my problem is that I can't find anything that tells me exactly what it does with each device.
    Here's my set up:
    One Mac - MBPro 17" running iCal, Address Book and Mail (I've completely given up on trying to get Entourage 2008 to play nicely) on Lion
    One PC - W7 Pro using Outlook - this is normally my main machine (sorry)
    One iPad
    One iPhone
    Appointments are normally made either on the PC or the iPhone and then disseminated to the other devices. iPhone and iPad are normally synced and recharged to the PC, so sync quite happily with Outlook.
    The odd one out is the Mac, which i am trying to get synced without lots of duplication.
    Originally I set up iCloud on everything. So on all devices I ended up with 2 calendars - 'On this Device' and 'iCloud'. Why do I need two calendars? if I make a change to my device's calendar I just want iCloud's calendar to change and for it then to change all other devices! I really don't understand the logic of what is going on and this is why I am having problems. Am I supposed to turn visibility of iCloud calendar off everywhere so that it just does its stuff in the background? I presume so, otherwise every appointment is duplicated on every device.
    I've now turned it off everywhere because i ended up with three or four calendars showing on every device and massive duplication problems. Then when I turned it off iCloud deleted all my historical information and left me with a blank calendar. Thanks Apple.
    What's really missing from Apple's documentation is an explanation what is actually going on under the hood and therefore of the best strategy to adopt.
    Should I let the PC and iPad/iPhone do their stuff without iCloud and just sync one device to iCloud and also sync the Mac to it. This would reduce the chances of lots of duplication.
    Any guidance gratefully received.
    TP

    Will I still get two calendars on outlook on the pc, because that caused lots of confusion last time?
    I don't know about Outlook on PCs I'm afraid, so can't answer that question.
    if I end up cut down to just one calendar on the ios devices, will that work off line?
    Yes. All devices/computers cache copies of the calendars locally for offline use, then any changes are automatically uploaded next time you have an internet connection.

  • How do I remove "Bookmark Bar" folders in Safari Bookmarks?

    My Bookmarks sync fine between my iPhone and iPad, except that iCloud keeps creating "Bookmark Bar" folders. They are driving me crazy because I cannot delete OR move them out of the way.
    There are now SIX unused (empty) "Bookmark Bar" folders making it rediculously cumbersome when I try to scroll down to my actual Bookmarks.
    PLEASE, oh PLEASE HELP! How can I remove all those "Bookmark Bar" folders?
    I am on iPad2 and iPhone4 with the latest iOS. I tried turning iCloud "Sync Bookmarks" off, rebooting both devices, and turning Sync back on. That seems to be when iCloud wants to add even more empty "Bookmark Bar" folders.
    - Cody

    Ok, so...ARGH!!! The solution was SO SIMPLE that I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out.
    Long story short: I was able to delete the "Bookmarks Bar" folders (15 in all!) from my PC (Win7). AND, the process did NOT delete all my existing iDevice Bookmarks (YAY!).
    So, in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread with the same issue:
    Open iCloud on your PC
    Turn on option to sync bookmarks with IE
       ('yes' to merge bookmarks- This step does not delete your existing bookmarks on your iDevices)
    Make sure your iDevices are set to sync bookmarks in iCloud.
    Next, open your "Favorites" in IE on your PC and right-click/delete all "Bookmarks Bar" folders.
    Voila! Done! No more Bookmarks BarS...although there will be ONE that will not go away. One is better than 15:)
