Clearing bookmarks or reading lists

How do I clear my reading lists/bookmarks saved for later reading? I'm done reading them so how can I clear them? Do I have to do this from my MacBook Pro?

Tap on the bookmarks icon to open the menu. You can swipe across each item in the list to bring up a red Delete button - tap the button to delete the bookmark. It works the same way in the Reading list.
You can also tap on the edit button in the upper right corner of the bookmarks menu and tap the red vertical lines on the left side of the bookmarks.

Safari 7 Bookmarks and Read List Not Synching with iCloud

Safari does not synch bookmarks or reading list with iCloud. Cloud tabs does work. Everything else works.
When I turn the sync setting on/off in iCloud (control panel) it asks me if I want to merge and I say yes each time. No change. I can add bookmarks normally.
I did the checklist Apple suggests - and made sure I was linked to teh right account, have internet access, ect... The only thing I can not confirm is port numbers - but this machine is at work, next to my other iMac that is working perfectly (on Mavs too)
So far I've done each of these 2-5 times each:
Restarted
Reset all in Safari Pref
Cleared all extensions
Unlinked my iCloud account in Control Panel>iCloud - Safari
Unlinked the entire account and deleted everything (3 times)
Deleted all traces of Safari; library, plsit, etc. (except the program - not allowed)
re-linked to Keychain (3 times)
Out of ideas
Any suggestions appreciated
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks in advance

Having the same problem as you David, I've just about gone nuts trying to solve it but Bookmarks and Reading Lists are not syncing across my iPad Mini, iPhone and Mac. When I've dug into the console files on my Mac it's reporting that the SafariDAVClient is crashing like a fiend, seems to be trying to access a file that either doesn't exist or was moved o_O
Anyone have any ideas? I've also resorted to Apple's recommendations as well as to solutions posted around the forums, with no luck whatsoever. I've even edited and purged my bookmarks down to only the stuff I really think I should keep. Also tried to keep it empty and adding a fresh new bookmark. Nada...

Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

Recovering bookmarks and reading list after upgrading to OS X Mavericks; no help from Time Machine

Hi,
I upgraded to OS 10.9 Mavericks today. Everything seems fine thus far, except for Safari's bookmarks and reading list. Bizarrely, ONE of my old bookmarks was left on the bookmarks bar, while all other bookmarks (except those pre-loaded by Apple) and the entire reading list are wiped.
I'm aware of the path for finding the plist (~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist) — however: Time Machine won't let me go back to before the OS X upgrade. The windows all backups before the upgrade are completely black. As far as I can tell, this goes for all files, not just those in the Library.
My browsing history was preserved. Also, I head iCloud enabled for Safari.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

IOS7 bookmarks and reading list won't delete

After update I cannot delete any bookmarks or reading list items. I swipe left and get the DELETE button, but nothing happens. The bookmark in the edit mode will return with no change, the reading list item is similar. No new reading list items can be added. I am on IOS 7.0.4
I've tried a hard restart, no change.

I used the following fix and it worked as described - basically you need to replace the file "bookmarks.db" with a clean, empty file.

Bookmarks and reading lists don't work after upgrading to ios6 on ipad

Bookmarks and reading lists don't work after upgrading to ios6 on ipad

Your bookmarks file may be corrupt. Navigate to /[UserName]/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profile_name]. Either rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.corrupt (or whatever) in case this isn't the problem, or delete places.sqlite. Start/Restart Firefox. The icons for sites that have a favicon should return after you visit each site.

How can I recover bookmarks and reading list?

Firefox crashed as soon as I tried to use it so I uninstalled it and installed it back again, but all the bookmarks and pages on my Reading List are gone. Is there a way to get them back?

Hello,
Sorry to hear that you lost what you wanted to keep a track of. Did you have Firefox sync on? With that you can be able to restore your bookmarks but apart from that it's impossible to my knowledge that you'll be able to restore deleted bookmarks.

HT1222 how do i clear my safari reading list?

I am currently upgrading my OS on my iPhone 3GS to 5.1.1
I was at 5.1.0 and could not clear my reading list.
Anyone know how to do that?

If you hover the mouse at the top right hand side of the Reading List item, an X button will appear.
Click the button to clear the item.
Right click the Reading List item, select "Remove Item" or "Clear All Items.."

Best.

Bookmarks and reading list problems

Since the iOS7 upgrade, I've been unable to save bookmarks or add to the reading list. The problem seems localized to my iPad, as Safari functions normally on other devices. Suggestions for a fix would be appreciated.

If you see a black bar at the top, Private Browsing is enabled. You have to turn it off.

TS2972 Home Sharing, Bookmark update & reading list all stopped syncing since software upgrade

After Apple TV, iTunes and phone update nothing will sync with my PC!!

Home Sharing is working perfectly fine for me, and I'm quite sure many others. I'm using Windows 7, a Linksys WRT54G router with WPA2 security enabled, and iTunes 10.1.2. It would help if you could answer a few questions:
1- Let's start with the obvious -- what version iTunes are you using? (you need 10.1 but didn't say)
2- Have you enabled Home Sharing on your computer and ATV?
3- What router make and model are you using? I don't know of specific issues here, but others may.
4- Is the ATV hooked up to your router via ethernet, or wireless? If wireless, try ethernet at least temporarily if you can, just to narrow down the problem as it may be a wireless configuration in your router's settings.
5- Using the Remote App on your iPhone, can you control the ATV? Or, can you only stream audio to ATV from your iPhone? If Remote works, can you get to YouTube, Netflix, or the iTunes store and successfully play any content?

Safari on my PC (5.1.7) the bookmarks and reading list no longer sync with my IOS7 devices?? Have Apple ended it?

Anybody know if Apple have stopped this happening?

Open the iCloud Panel on your PC. Deselect the box next to Booksmarks then reselect it.
On your iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Safari off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

After my upgrade to iOS6, my iPhone4 lost all entries in the Reading List and Bookmarks. I cannot add new entries. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I'm not 100% positive that this is related to the iOS6 upgrade, but the timing is certainly suspicios. Previously, I had 7 entries in Safari's readling list and many entries in the Bookmarks. Now, I have nothing except the large pair of sunglasses and help text that tells me how to add a link to the reading list.
When I am looking at a webpage and click on the Forward button, I'm giving all sorts of choices now in full color... facebook... Message... Twitter... Mail... Add to homescreen. The following buttons are all grey: Print, Copy, Bookmark, and Add to Reading List.
I'm guessing that the icon color is a red herring. Print and Copy, despite being grey, appear to work fine. Bookmark and Add to Reading List have problems.
Adding to the Reading List makes the forwarding screen go away, as though the link was added. When I click on the Bookmark icon and look at my reading list, it remains empty, displaying the large sunglasses and help text, as though the list has never had an entry added to it.
Adding a Bookmark prompts me to enter the name and location. Interestingly, the list of locations is empty. I have a single folder with no name and a check mark next to it. I cannot do anything else (make a new folder, for example). Once added, when I click on the Bookmark icon to look at my bookmarks, that list remains empty of individual bookmarks. All I have are: Reading List (still empty), History (full of expected entries), Bing (which takesme to some Bing thing).
Any help in restoring my bookmarks and Reading List entries would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

How to undo Safari copying bookmarks, history, favorites, and reading list from Macbook Pro to iMac after Yosemite update?

I just updated my iMac 27inch Mid 2011 to Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a Macbook Pro that I primarily use for everyday stuff. I upgraded to Yosemite a while ago on my macbook. Now that I upgraded my iMac, it transferred everything saved in Safari on my macbook pro to my iMac. My favorites, history, bookmarks, and reading list were copied over. This is driving me nuts! I had a separate set of data saved on the iMac because I use it for different purposes. All of the original bookmarks, favorites, history, etc. on my iMac are now gone. I logged out of iCloud (which was a feature I did not enjoy when upgrading to Yosemite) yet all of the safari data from my laptop is still cloned onto my iMac. Please tell me there is a way to undo this or refresh safari pre-Yosemite update!
Thank you!

Then there's no way to recover the lost data. You will lose every bit of data you have if you don't start backing up.

Reading List and bookmarks sync problems

Hello,
I have search answers to my problems and tried all the solutions but it does not work.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3883515?searchText=Safari%20reading%20list% 20does%20not%20sync%20with%20iPad
I have an iMac on OS 10.9.5, and iPhone 4s and iPad3 on iOS 7.1.2...
My Safari setting on iCloud are on but the reading list and bookmarks do not sync in neither way...
The strange thing is that I can see that open tabs are syncing, on the iMac, when I search for smth, I can see it displays me the iClouds open tabs from the tablet and iphone... but that is all. no sync of bookmarks and reading list...
any suggestions ?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem (and not only with Safari but with the notes app as well): The information is not synced at all. I've tried toggling the check marks for "safari" and "notes" within the iCloud settings on both sides (iPhone as well as iMac) but it doesn't do anything .... the information does not sync at all!
I had this problem using Mavericks and now still have it using Yosemite. On my iPhone 4 I have the latest iOS version possible, 7.1.2.
BTW: Resetting the devices doesn't solve the problem either ... I already did a complete "restore" of the iPhone yesterday and still the syncing does not work!
BTW2: It seems that nothing gets synced anymore to my iPhone. I just notice that a new contact, added on my iMac, isn't available on my iPhone.
Any help would be welcomed ......
