Bookmarks sync

hello frds,
i am using the nokia lumia 710 .
i have save many important bookmarks.
can you tell me how i sync bookmarks in another lumia handset.
thanks

I lost my bookmarks on my MacBook but not on my iMac (something obviously isn't syncing) and decided to have a look at all my bookmarks by clicking on that little open book icon in the bookmarks bar, and there they were.
It turns out I actually have four different Folders called BookmarkdsBar ... two are empty, one is the bookmark bar I used to have on my MacBook and the other is the one from my iMac. iCloud seems confused as to which is my real BookMarks bar.
I'm going to delete the empty ones and try and get iCloud to only sync the one on my iMac.
Seemingly randon duplication seems to be a major problem with iCloud for many.

Since yesterday, I have been seeing "bookmark syncing in progress" on the status bar for minutes at a time, and the browser becomes almost useless as it freezes.

At some point, I'll see 'bookmark syncing failed', and the browser then acts normally, BUT the behavior is cyclic. I uninstalled 7.0.1 and installed 3.6.20 and the behavior continued. I disabled sync in both installs and the behavior continued. I even deleted the sync server URL in about:config and the behavior *continued*. Oddly, the logs don't show any failures, and report success every time.
BTW, the bug-reporting procedure needs serious clean-up. It is very difficult to navigate the maze. And the help files are atrocious.

That maybe fixes some issues, but not this one. This one has to do with Sync and is getting seriously annoying.

How do I set up bookmarks sync to iCloud for Safari in Windows?

The page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455 shows iCloud Control Panel for Windows permitting bookmarks sync for Safari but when I run it it shows bookmarks sync for Internet Explorer. How do I set this up for Safari on Windows?

I suggest you post your question on an MS Office forum since it's their software you're having issues with.

How do I get bookmark syncing to work?

So I have 3 Mac's here all running Lion. I deleted all bookmarks from one Mac and turned on and off the Bookmark Sync button inside system pref, then hit "Merge". It found something from somewhere and stuffed it in there. I've done the Merge part on the other Macs but I can't seem to affect what's in there.
So how do you manage this? And why does it keep putting "untilted folder" in the bottom - I've deleted about 3 each session...
Really I've got one Mac that I want to be the master for now - but isn't the point of this so you can quickly add a bookmark and it will show up everywhere.
I'm not even trying to deal with iOS yet. (bookmarks there are kindof secondary - since I'm only using an iPod Touch.)

Never mind... look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4001
oh well... this isn't the total answer. I had to go into the Library/Safari and throw out my Bookmarks.plist. Now they work - and I can really start cleaning them up!
The trick is for that step where you deselect then select BookMarks in the preferences... You need to have Safari turned OFF. Then switch, wait, switch back and get out of preferences. Boot maybe helped, but it didn't start working on my final machine until I deleted that bookmark file.
Why doesn't Apple shut the browser off when you hit the button?
I now have quite a bit of iCloud working. This was almost as bad as the Calendars. Once they work they seem to stay working!

SEVERE Problem With Safari Bookmarks Sync

Just thought I'd bring this one to people's attention (as well as submitting a bug report to Apple).
I have my bookmarks synced across all devices (MacBook, iMac, iPhone) and recently I decided to tidy them up a bit. On the MacBook I started moving bookmark folders into a newly created folder called "Archive" (wanted to just put some stuff I don't use often into a folder to reduce the number of top-level folders in the Bookmark list). I did this once successfully but the second time I tried to do it Safari threw an error, something like "You cannot do this right now because Bookmarks are being synced."
OK, I thought, I'll wait.
Then the folder that I'd just moved hundreds of bookmarks into disappeared!
No undo. No CMD+Z. Nothing would get it back.
Then the full horror dawned on me - Safari was now busy syncing this across all my devices. I checked my iMac and iPhone and yes, that folder full of bookmarks had been wiped off every device. Forever.
What I found ubelievable was:
1) Safari does not keep a 'previous version' of the Bookmarks.plist file in the same way that, say, iTunes does with it's database.
2) iCloud does not actually 'back up' your Bookmarks. Whenever you edit them on any of your synced devices you are creating/destroying bookmarks on the only single copy of those bookmarks that exists
So, thanks to that nice little bug (and poor implementation of bookmarks management in Safari), I've just lost hundreds of bookmarks that I can never ever recover.

I use Dropbox for everything. This wouldn't help though in this case as unless I'd have manually copied my bookmarks to a folder in Dropbox there is no automatic way of making use of Dropbox's features with Safari (as far as I can see and without jumping through hoops)
I'm not so much griping about whether or not iCloud backs up your data but more warning that there is a severe bug in iCloud sync whereby somehow it managed to destroy a folder full of bookmarks (which it shouldn't have done) and then propagated that through all my synced devices (which, technically, it should have done). At that point your are screwed because there's no fail-safe mechanisms in place as there is with iTunes (which makes a historic copy of your database each time you perform an operation that alters it).
Or alternatively, given that all of Sarafi bookmarks are just nodes in a single XML file, why not make it so that you can revert to previous versions as you can in, say, TextEdit.
I have submitted a bug to Apple by the way, I only posted here as a warning to others to be very, VERY careful when messing about with your bookmarks if they're synced to other devices.

My other computer died and have my bookmark synced setup, however, I no longer have access to sync key and I do not want to generate a new key and erase my old bookmarks. How do I retrieve them?

My other computer died and have my bookmark synced with Firefox sync, however, I no longer have access to sync key and I do not want to generate a new key and erase my old bookmarks. How do I retrieve them?

Sorry, without the Sync Key you can't use Sync to recover your personal data. If you have another device that was connected that Sync account, you can recover your Sync Key from that other device in the Password Manager on non-mobile devices. See - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-manage-my-firefox-sync-account?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=where-can-i-find-my-firefox-sync-key#w_where-can-i-find-my-recovery-key this].
''Firefox Sync wasn't intended to be a "backup" medium, it was made to keep certain data synchronized between multiple devices.'' That "key" is used to encrypt your data before being uploaded to the Sync server and decrypt the data as it is downloaded to one of your devices. Only you have access to that "key", to maintain security over your data no one else knows that "key".
If you still have that old PC or the hard drive from that old PC, you can connect it to the new PC via USB with a USB enclosure, and you should be able to recover that data if the hard drive didn't fail.<br />

ICloud - will you improve it? The bookmark sync is rubbish

I recently switched to iCloud for a lot of cloud stuff. I already had solutions for a lot of these things but when iCloud came out, it got very confusing and I switched to iCloud.
I used to use Xmarks, which is faultless and syncs across oter browsers too. It remembers bookmarks including the exact locations of folders and stuff. The iCloud bookmarks sync does remember bookmarks but they are all over the place. Folders aren't remembered properly and it's really messy.
I think that you guys really need to pay more attention and do it properly.
I also dislike address book app, and use contacts on the iCloud web app instead. This is a bit clunky and could be better. Google contacts are frankly a lot better - but since iCloud it got too fiddly to mix clouds, so I reluctantly went with iCloud
Fix it please ;)

ICloud: Safari Bookmark Sync

For my Safari browser I am replacing Xmarks with iCloud for my syncing. I use Safari on three separate computers and an iPhone. I would like my initial iCloud sync be based on my main computer for the first sync. Hoping it will carry the folder structure over to the browsers on the other devices. After that initial sync, I will like to just have everything Sync like normal. Is there a way to do this or indicate it somehow? I know Xmarks allowed for this and in fact gave you choices how you wanted the sync to be handled.
Anyone have a solution, advice or recommendation on how to do this? It's greatly appreciated. Thank you!
~ErickP

All fixed on my end now. No more safaridavclient taking 8gb of ram at 100% cpu
This is what I did, hope it works for you - don't do this if you never use the commandline
~/Library/Safari copied to a folder on desktop for backup
In safari exported bookmarks for backup
removed all bookmarks that had javascript in it
let safaridavclient run for 10 minutes at 100%
killed safaridavclient
stopped iCloud bookmark syncing
rm -Rf ~/Library/Safari
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.safar*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safar*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safa*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safa*
reopen safari
wait until it rebuilds and open apple.com
quit safari
start iCloud bookmark syncing
wait 15 minutes
bookmarks may be back, you can delete them or keep them if they are good
i deleted them and imported the good bookmarks
Turned on iphone and iPad bookmark syncing

Bookmark sync doesn't work

I use iCloud to sync bookmarks between Chrome on Windows and Safari on iPad. It had worked normally until I changed my apple ID (email address) about two weeks ago.
Then bookmarks won't sync. Safari always shows the last revision of bookmarks before apple id was changed.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling bookmark sync on windows, re-login to iCloud on iPad and many kinds of troubleshooting attempts, but it still doesn't go back to normal.
Could someone shed some light?

Try the following:
# Create a copy of that file
# Change the copied file type to HTML
# If that doesn't work, change it to JSON
Please upload the file somewhere if the above doesn't work and I will see what I can do with it.

Bookmark sync not working with large set and maybe javascript bookmark bookmarklets??

Bookmark sync via iCloud doesn't seem to work for me. I use Chrome as my primary browser but keep a huge set of bookmarks synced to Safari via Xmarks.
Basically I either get no bookmarks on my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 1) or a huge number of repeated versions of 1Password's very large java bookmark.
I've tested by deleting all my Safari bookmarks and starting with a clean Mac. When I do this everything works and changes on any device propagate to the others.
As soon as I bring in my big bookmark set from Xmarks, it all breaks.
Do I need to perform the bookmark clean up I've been putting off for a decade or so?

Can't help with your bidirectional bookmark syncing question but try this for backing up your touch's bookmarks.
Export/backup all of your Safari/Internet Explorer bookmarks (depending on where you're syncing them from) and keep them is a safe place. This is your master bookmarks list. Then delete all bookmarks/folders from your browser. Now sync your bookmarks with the touch with the following iTunes settings:
Under your touch's 'Info' tab, select the checkbox 'Sync bookmarks with Internet Explorer/Safari'.
After syncing, your touch's bookmarks (and only those from your touch) will be synced to your browser. Now export/backup these bookmarks...these are your touch's bookmarks. Now you have a both a backup of your master bookmarks and your touch's bookmarks. When you want to sync/restore your touch's bookmarks back to the touch, delete all your PC browser's bookmarks and import the touch bookmarks:
Under iTunes/your touch/'Info'/Web browser & Advanaced, select the checkboxes 'sync bookmarks with IE/Safari' and 'Replace information on this iPod: Bookmarks' and sync again.
This will transfer your touch's bookmarks back to the touch. Now delete all bookmarks again from IE/Safari and re-import your master bookmarks. Note that after importing them back in, they will likely be in alphabetical order rather than the date added order.
Also note that (at least in Windows) your browser needs to be open for bookmark syncing to take place.

Bidirectional bookmark sync not working...

I have an 8GB iPod touch (firmware v1.1.3 with the new apps) and can't seem to get the bidirectional bookmark sync to work. I have a 20" Intel iMac (early 2006) running 10.5.1 with the latest software updates.
I have some bookmarks that I've added to Safari on the iPod that don't show up on the Mac after a sync and a few that I've added to Safari on the Mac that don't show up on the iPod after a sync.
I've tried everything (reset sync history in iSync, stop syncing bookmarks via the checkbox in iTunes and then syncing again, etc.) short of a restore on the iPod. I want to know if there is anything else I can try before I restore the iPod because I don't want to loose the bookmarks that I've added to the iPod.
Anybody have any ideas/suggestions? Is there a way to backup the bookmarks on the iPod so that I can then re-import them into Safari on the Mac after a reset if I have to?
TIA

Shorcomings of ios 6: contacts, messages, bookmark sync

Contacts: No reverse look up in contacts. Say I hv a phone no. I want to search contacts based on the phone no. Not possible!
Contacts: I can delete a Custom label even when I have existing contacts with the custom label. Eg: I have a contact say, "Harry" with a custom label say, "girlfriend ann" with phone no XXX-XXX-XXX. I can edit the custom label and delete the custom label "girlfriend ann". When I bring up the contact "harry" again, I see the custom label "girlfriend ann" replaced with another label, (whichever label is present before the deleted label "girlfriend ann".
Contacts: In order to create a new custom label, I have to scroll through to the entire list of existing custom labels (to the very end of the list of labels). The button create a custom label should be visible at all times, in the top or on a frozen pane
Contacts: I go to a contact. Then edit an entry. Say existing phone no. I tap on the type of phone. (mobile, home phone etc.) I want to change the type of phone to a custom label. So I create a a custom label, say "mobile android". Then I hv to press cancel to select this label for the current contact. this is confusing.
Messages: Roundabout way of sending messages . go to bottom click send message then select a phone no (out of so many). there should be a drop down option so that when i tap a phone no I can select phone or sms.
bookmark sync: a page that is not formatted for mobile is fit for pc only. similarly a web page that is formatted for mobile is fit for mobile only.pc. So pc boookmarks and mobile bookmarks may have different lists. So there should be three groups
bookmarks for mobile
bookmarks for both.
bookmarks for pc
the third group should not be synced with mobile.

ICloud 3.0 Control Panel for Windows - Non-IE Bookmark Sync

FYI
The new iCloud Control Panel for Windows 3.0 offers bookmark sync with Chrome and Firefox
I could not get the new iCloud Control Panel for Windows 3.0 to recognize bookmark sync for any browser except IE. I downloaded the Firefox add-in and enabled it but it would not show Firefox bookmark sync as an option.I tried deleting and reintstalling both the iCloud Control Panel and Firefox.
I finally solved the issue and got it work when I removed the additional profiles for Firefox.
Check your (windows) Firefox profile at:
users/yourusername/app data/roaming/mozilla/profiles
Once I deleted the additional profile and restarted Firefox and the iCloud Control Panel I was able to select Bookmark sync with Firefox or Chrome.
I hope this helps others that could not enable this option.

Hello Todd,
I too have the same problem (I can not display the "Options" button on the control panel, therefore I can not synchronize)
I looked in the profiles of Mozilla Firefox, but unfortunately I have only one profile (default profile)
How do I solve the problem?
Thank you very much
Maurizio

MobileMe safari bookmarks sync

How do you sync iPhone safari bookmarks to MobileMe, so that my Mac can also have the same bookmarks?
I've only been able transfer from my Mac to my iPhone 4 through MobileMe, is there any other way other than the iTunes bookmark sync, by cable?
I'm on my iPhone almost all the time. It would be great to have the bookmarks ready for me on my Mac through a MobileMe sync.
Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome...
On your Mac open System Preferences / MobileMe then select the Sync tab. Make sure Bookmarks is selected.
Now open Safari on your Mac. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Bookmarks tab. Make sure: *Synchronize bookmarks using MobileMe* is selected.
That should automatically sync your Bookmarks either via WI FI or when you connect your iPhone to your Mac.
If you need more troubleshooting help try here: MobileMe: Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch sync issues

any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Quit the Mac App Store if it's open. Command + Q. The iTunes and Mac App Store are one in the same.
Launch iTunes then from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.    
Click: *Reset warnings and Reset cache*.     Now from the iTunes menu bar click Store / Sign Out.  
Try the Mac App Store.  If you still have problems, follow the paths here.   ~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.  
~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist files to the Trash.  
~/Library/Cookies. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist and Cookies.plist files to the Trash.  Restart your Mac.  Relaunch the MAS, try again.
If that didn't help, from the iTunes menu bar click Strore / View My Account. Make sure all the account details are correct including the Security number from the back of an ATM or credit card.

Safari keeps crashing after 1st bookmarks sync with Chrome

Hi,
today I updated the iCloud software on my PC to version 3.0 and afterwards setup the new bookmark syncing feature with Chrome. After the first sync both my iOS devices (iPad 3 and iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0) don't run Safari anymore. It takes about 5 seconds after you open the app until it crashes. I can neither enter the Safari preference pane nor disable Safari syncing in the iCloud pref pane...
What should I do? Is there a way to reset iClouds bookmarks?? It's really annoying as I can't use Safari on my iOS devices anymore right now -.-

Exactly same Problem
I have same problem guys.
Since yesterday afternoon, Every time i opened safari on my iPhone and pressed either iCloud tab button on the bottom right or try type on the address bar, Safari crashed. After a long read on internet I went to the iCloud settings and turned off the switch for safari. Once i opened safari it worked fine.
I called Apple support and discussed this issue and we tried many things like reset the phone and set it up as a new device, signing on an other iPhone with my iCloud details to see if it was the device, but in the end we found that the problem was with iCloud account and not the device related because safari started crashing on that device too. It seems like that safari data on my iCloud got corrupted. I read some forums last years where a few users experience a similar issue.
Now can somebody suggest me any workaround to fix this. Since i cannot open safari on my iPhone, i went on my macbook and pressed the iCloud tab button to see which iCloud tabs were opened on my iPhone. it showed two tabs one with blank line but when i press on the line, it takes me to macupdate website.
Could these two tabs be the the culprit that they are still showing on my iPhone? Can I ask apple to reset my iCloud profile? If i wait 7 days for these two tabs to clear (if they clear), will my safari start working again on iPhone? Safari is working fine on macbook though.
Have you managed to sort out your problem if so, how?
Thanks
