Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone

Hi.
I've got a rather stupid/perhaps very simple question about the bookmarks on Safari.
I want to get rid of the Bookmarks Bar & Bookmarks Menu folder on my iPhone. On my computer I predominately use Firefox but I did create bookmarks for Safari so I have them on my iPhone. I've tried going onto Safari and edit the bookmarks but it will not let me remove these two folders. Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

Hi Aubrey-Jay,
I just figured this out today.
Solution (for Mac):
1. Open Safari
2. View > Hide Bookmarks Bar
3. Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks > uncheck Include bookmarks bar
4. Close Safari
5. Connect your iPhone to iTunes
6. Info tab > under Web Browser, select Sync Safari bookmarks
7. Info tab > under Advanced, select Bookmarks
8. Apply
This will sync up to the new settings we've done in steps 2 and 3, doing so will remove the Bookmarks Bar & Bookmarks Menu folder.
Once done syncing, you need to unselect the Sync Safari bookmarks and click Apply. That way, next time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, it will no longer sync up with Safari's bookmarks.
Best Regards,
aS2H

New iPhone 6. Windows 8 desktop. Running Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.

New iPhone 6. This s my first iPhone. Windows 8 laptop. Running Mozilla Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Firefox Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.
It would be nice if Firefox was available on the iPhone, but apparently it is not.
If I could do a direct sync of Bookmarks between Firefox on a W8 machine and the iPhone, that would be nice.
Assuming I can't, I have installed Safari of my W8 laptop,
I exported my Bookmarks from Firefox, and then imported them in Safari.
First question:
Safari shows my Bookmarks in a way that is different from Firefox. It shows all the folders fown the left side of the window. If I want to see a saved bookmark within one of the folders, I have to click on the folder name and then the contents are shown in a separate panel off to the right. Can I get all Bookmark folders to open up vertically, that is, down the left side and under the folder name as they do in Firefox?
Second question:
How do I sync the bookmarks so that all hoes-based bookmarks are downloaded to my iPhone. An articel I read speaks of connecting my iPhone to the laptop. I have no idea of how to do that.
Thank you for any help. Not sure what Community to post this in. Sorry. Newbie new to A

I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
Thank you

Is there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly?

Greetings everybody,
I have run into a peculiar problem with the Safari browser on mobile platforms (IPad, IPod, IPhone) which I hope I can find a solution for in this community.
I just launched a new website where I sell products with certain variations, for example please view this link: http://www.finerribbon.com/aegean-single-face-satin-ribbon.html
On this particular product, the product variants are supposed to work in such a way where:
If you select the value "1/8" from the "Choose Ribbon Width" field
THEN
The only options active and available to choose from in the "Choose Roll Size" field should be: 500 Yds, 20 Yds & Sample Swatch
Now, if we browse to the above link in Safari using a desktop or a laptop, there are no problems at all, but if we browse to the above link using an IPhone or an Ipad, then we have a problem where all the options are available regardless of the values chosen, basically the above functonality does not work.
I was told that there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly, is this true? Can anyone advise me if there is a solution to this problem? I would sincerely apperciate it.
Thank you very much for your time and help!

At the top of this window you'll see the following:

ICloud Control Panel 3.0 for Win8 syncs bookmarks with Safari removed

Is it true that iCloud Control Panel 3.0 no longer syncs bookmarks with Safari for Windows? According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759 Safari for Windows is no longer supported, only IE, FF and Chrome. I need a work around if this is true.

Unlikely..
To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows

Possible BUG? A problem with Safari on IPhone & IPad

Hi all...
I have a problem with safari on Iphone & Ipad, my animations are not working
This is what the code does...
Upon load an event fires and and the "ready" animation starts (its a box that gets bigger and smaller), but the animation will not work on IPhone & IPad when i have an SVG or PNG file anywhere within my composition..
I know this sounds crazy so i have attached the sample code
http://adobe.ly/1mw781A
If you try deleting the "theProblem" (which is an SVG file) from the composition and then re-run it on Iphone & Ipad and you will see that it animates..
This problem does NOT occur on any other browser
With my limited knowledge i can only assume that it is something basic i have missed..
Please if you could take a look i would be most gratefull!...
many thanks
Justin!

I started thinking that maybe my home webserver was causing the issues..
So i set a quick online one up and uploaded the testfile that you guys have access to here...
LINK1: this is the edge composition WITH the svg file
http://testsite1234.host22.com/test/events.html
now the animation that originally worked in all browsers except safari refuses to work in any browser
BUT if i re-load the page it works in chrome and firefox and IExplorer (is my problem something to do with my scripts?
LINK2: this is the edge composition WITHOUT the svg file
http://testsite1234.host22.com/test/events1.html
as per usual this version works in all browsers because there is no svg file
Please if anyone can help... now im completly lost...
Im starting to think that it must be a server issue, are there any settings that i need to enable to make edge compositions run correctly...?
many many thank!

Syncing bookmarks from safari on Iphone to Ipad2

how do I get all of the bookmarks I have on my Iphone 3GS that is on Safari to the Safari on Ipad2?

The only way I know how to sync bookmarks to an iDevice is to have the bookmarks on Safari on your actual computer and importing the bookmarks from Safari to the iDevice.

I can't open websites with Safari on iPhone

My problem started yesterday. There are certain websites I cannot open on my Iphone4 like Facebook, any tumblr blogs, yahoo answers and many more. It says something like, "Safari cannot open the website because it's not connected to the server". Youtube, blogspot, wikipedia, etc all work.
Other phones in my household are all connected to the same internet router - for some reason I am the only one having this problem??
Apps that require internet such as KIK won't work either. I can open KIK, but messages won't load and I can't send anything either.
I really need to solve this problem as quickly as possible. Thanks.

iOS devices require iOS 6. It is kind of misleading for Apple to be advertising those features right now but they will be there when iOS 6 is released.

Is there a way to get my bookmarks in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home?

i browse around in Safari on my iPhone, and bookmark things.
is there a way to export / sync / transfer these bookmarks i made in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home on my iPhone?
or into Firefox on my Mac (because then it would just sync with my iPhone Firefox Home)?

Hi teethandbones,
There may be a simpler way to do it, but I know you can set your iPhone/iPad to syncronize bookmarks with Safari on your Mac. You could do that first and then import the bookmarks from Safari into Firefox.
Just a thought!

Bookmarks with iCloud and Safari 5.1.7 version Windows

Hi,
I use iCloud to shared bookmarks with Safari between my Mac and my iPhone, but in the work I use Windows 7 and I need to view my bookmarks with Safari.
I downloaded the control panel iCloud for Windows but the application cannot support to shared bookmarks with Safari 5.7.1. but with IE and Firefox y I had not any problem.
Is possible to use iCloud bookmarks with Safari 5.1.7 in Windows?.
Thanks in advance.

Not to Me Too it, but I can't believe we're the only ones who are having this issue.
I have iCloud bookmarks and hte reading list working on all my Mac and iOS devices, but at work, the bookmarks are outdated and the reading list is totall off. Beleive it's only the items I've added from my work PC.
What's more, the iCloud control panel only allows you to setup the sync with IE, FireFox or Chrome. Seems a huge omission that Apple would not support their own browser.

Configure search box Safari on iPhone

For time time I thought this was an issue with Google and so was trying to resolve through Google forums - but I can now see it is a problem with Safari on iPhone.
When I originally set up my iPhone I was living in India, 3 months ago I moved to Scotland.
My iPhone is aware I'm in Scotland for virtually every purpose - except for the search box in the top right of Safari - which continues to think I'm in India.
I start from completely reset Safari (clearing cookies and search history) and I double press home and kill the Safari app.
I get a blank Safari screen. If I type google in the address box, the first entry that is suggested is google.co.uk - great.
If I type google in the search box in the top right, I can see in the address box that it is using google.co.in and sure enough the first suggested site that pops up is google.co.in. (And more practically whenever I use the search box - e.g. to find a local business - I'm always offered businesses in India at the top of the search results - and as they're 5000 miles away that's not that useful!)
So having seen that the search box is obviously configured to google.co.in, I tried changing the search provider in settings - I chose Yahoo instead - then type something in the search box and I get UK results and it does use yahoo.co.uk. Having done this I assume if I choose Google again as my search provider it will now be intelligent check where I am and use the right google site - but it doesn't - it just puts google.co.in back again.
So I'm stuck - I want to use google, but I can't stop it using India for the search box - I guess it's a bug - when choosing the search provider Safari SHOULD check location - or at least offer an option to do so - instead of just using the same one that was used when the phone was originally configured.
Can anyone suggest a way round this?

What is "Settings > General > International > Region Format" set to?
That is the setting which governs which local Google to use.

Does safari on iphone 4 delete history itself?

On my ipod touch my history on safari stays there untill i delete it myself .. for months on end . Im wanting to know is this the same with safari on iphone 4 ? will it keep all your history unless you clear it yourself?
Thank you

As far as I can tell on my device there is no pre-determined span of time that Safari will keep the back log of search history. So my answer is yes however I have changed devices in the past 3 months so I have no way to test the time span.
