Cannot Sync SAFARI BOOKMARKS....

I have tried everything on the main Info page before hitting apply and I everytime I go on to my phone - I dont see my BOOKMARKS? What am I doing wrong and/or where would they be?
PLEASE Help so I dont have to manually (try) to type over 100 bookmarks...
THX!

I spent some time with Apple tech support and here is what did NOT work:
resetting the iPhone, reinstalling iTunes, creating a new Bookmarks.plist file, trashing iTunes preferences, and creating a new user account on my computer.
I was moved up to level 2 support who suggested trying to sync just the bookmarks with another computer. I emailed myself my bookmarks and installed them onto another computer and performed a sync of just the bookmarks and it worked. So there must be something unique to my computer that is causing the problem. Maybe Safari is the culprit?

  • HT4759 Cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to iPad.

    I cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to my iPad.
    When connected to iTunes it lists that my bookmarks are being synced via iCloud, but I cannot see where my bookmarks are being stored on iCloud.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    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

  • 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.

    Yes, but you will need to use iCloud ...

  • Sync Safari / Bookmarks and now there are gone!!  HELP!!vious settings?  Wh

    i synced Safari / Bookmarks for the first time yesterday and now all my bookmark folders are gone.
    Can I restore to the pre

    Hi S Crawford,
    I'm afraid it's likely that they're gone for good. To double check, go to http://bookmarks.mac.com and login to see if your bookmarks have synched to there.
    If they are present there, check your sync settings in the System Preferences -> .Mac area to see if you can synch them back to the computer.
    If they're not present there then they're gone...
    If you want to backup the bookmarks manually in future, copy this file to a safe location:
    Hard drive -> Users -> Your username -> Library -> Safari -> Bookmarks.plist

  • Is there an alternative method to sync Safari bookmarks without using iCloud? I am running the latest versions of Mavericks, iOS and iTunes.

    Is there a method to sync Safari bookmarks from my Mac to my iPhone WITHOUT using iCloud?
    I am running the latest versions of Mavericks, iTunes and iOS.

    Hi Mary ..
    Afraid not but if you decide to use iCloud and you're iPhone is running iOS 8, (according to your profile), hold off until you can upgrade your Mac to Yosemite.

  • 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.

  • Sync Safari Bookmarks

    I own an iPhone 3G with OS 3.1.3. Today after a sync with iTunes 9.1 (79) on my MBP with MacOS X 10.6.3 I noted that the Safari bookmarks on my iPhone were not in sync with my laptop.
    After a first look, as I understand, now I need to sync the bookmarks through the mobile me cloud.
    Is it so? If yes, I don't want to send my personal data (email, calendar, contacts) over a cloud. I don't trust a cloud. So, please, is a way to sync these data as I was used to do with the previous versions, that is directly without passing through a cloud? Thanks

    With a MobileMe account, you are not required to sync contacts, calendar events, or Safari bookmarks over the air with your iPhone or with your Mac, but not doing so defeats a purpose or benefit with a MobileMe account.
    Even when syncing Safari bookmarks over the air with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, you can also sync bookmarks direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, but doing so may duplicate the bookmarks on your iPhone. You can do one or the other, or both at the same time.
    If Safari bookmarks are not syncing properly when synced direct via the iTunes sync process, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application in your Applications folder.
    Are you syncing Address Book contacts and iCal calendar events with your Mobile online contacts and calendar with your Mac? If so, this is being done over the air.

  • Not syncing Safari bookmarks from ipad

    i have some bookmarks on my iPad tthat I want to sync to my Mac so I can then sync them to my iPhone. I have sync Safari bookmarks turned on iTunes but they don't sync To the Mac.
    i Must be doing something wrong but I don't know what. I tried searching Apple support And these forums but couldn't find anything.
    does anyone have any advice on this

    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 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.

  • How to sync Safari bookmarks to my iPad2?

    I've had my iPad2 for a few months now, and I noticed that my iMac Safari bookmarks are more current than those on my iPad2, even though I think I'm set up for them to be kept current using iCloud.  I use the cable to sync with iTunes on my iMac, and I've set it up to use iCloud storage.  Obviously, I'm probably causing a conflict somehow, so please review how to ensure the iPad2 bookmarks are current with the iMac.

    This generally worked for me (finally!), though I think there is still a tricky place where your bookmarks in Safari on the iPad "over-write" those on the iMac. I was expecting some type of merge where bookmarks that were different in either system would be added to the other, but that may be expecting too much.
    I would also suggest two slight modifications/additions (though I have not thoroughly tested these):
    In step 3 - press "Keep on my iPad" after you turn off Bookmarks
    In step 5 - back in your iPad, leave Bookmarks "Off"
    I am disappointed that the iPad user guide fails to adequately describe how this process works. If you have both an iPad and an iMac, syncing the bookmarks seems like a pretty important function to get right.

  • 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 sync Safari bookmarks to iphone

  • How to sync Safari bookmarks between various Macs?

    I own a desktop iMAC and a Mac Book Pro, but most of my work is done in the iMAC, However, I'd like to sync my Safari bookmarks in my MBP in order to have the same bookmarks in it too.
    Being a mobileme subscriber, I have set it up in the iMAC and the MBP to sync the Favorites too. But it doesn't seem to work as the bookmarks in my MBP are completely different from those which I'm after, i.e. the ones in my iMAC.
    Where am I going wrong?

    HI,
    Try MobileMe: Resetting sync data
    Then open System Preferences / MobileMe - Sync
    Select Bookmarks in the list and click Sync.
