Getting iCloud Safari Bookmarks to sync successfully and consistently across all Windows OS on Parallels ?

Hi there....
Does anyone know how to successfully sync your Safari Bookmarks for Mac on iCloud across all browsers and operating systems setup in Parallels software.
Currently when I open any of the Windows OS on Parallels they mess up my Mac bookmarks with duplicates and extra bookmarks and I have to go through the whole Timemachine restore bookmarks process to get them working again as I had them.
It would be great of anyone out there just had a fail safe step by step guide to getting my bookmarks to sync consistently across all devices, browsers and operating systems from OSX Mavericks to Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1
I have asked an Apple Expert previously about this but he couldn't figure out how to get this to work either.
Any comments or suggestions most welcome.
Regards,
Anthoy

Bump again! Nobody else has this issue?!

ICloud, Safari bookmarks not syncing with iphone

I've got an iPhone 4, MacBook running Snow Leopard, previously had MobileMe, ever since iCloud has come around my iPhone has stopped syncing the bookmarks with my Mac. Hugely annoying..
Anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks

You must upgrade Lion v10.7.2 in order to enable iCloud so that's not the issue with the bookmarks since you are running Snow Leopard.
Open System Preferences > MobileMe then select the Sync tab and make sure Bookmarks is selected.
Now select the Advanced tab then click Reset Sync Data.

What do you mean? Did you sign your account into System Preferences>iCloud on her computer?
Were your boookmarks synced to her Safari?

Safari bookmarks not syncing in iOS 8.0.2

Safari bookmarks stopped syncing at least since 8.0.2 (not sure if it already broke in 8.0.1).
I have this configuration
iPhone4,1 (4S)
iOS 8.0.2
OS X 10.9.5
iTunes 11.4 (18)
I read that to sync bookmarks you need 10.8 or earlier, but that doesn’t make any sense to me, I won’t use iCloud for that.

I restored my iPhone to no avail. Any ideas?

I recently upgraded Mountain Lion to Mavericks. Until now it's been disappointing. I read about these so-called syncing features too late.
See How to locally sync an iPhone with OS X Mavericks? iCloud is NOT an option.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Yes. You need to create an iCloud Account on an Apple Device first.
From Here > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
" To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows..."

Safari bookmarks not syncing to Mac via iCloud - Syncing works between iPhone and iPad.

My iPhone and iPad both have the Safari iCloud option set to 'ON' in my devices settings. My bookmarks sync between my iPad and iPhone correctly but bookmarks do not synce between my Mac and my two devices.
In iTunes, when I have either my iPad or iPhone connected it says: 'Your bookmarks are being synced over the air from iCloud.'
What setting am I missing to get my bookmarks to sync properly from and too my Mac?

Go to the Apple menu >> system preferences >> icloud. Make sure you're logged in with the same apple ID as you are on the other two devices. If you're already signed in, you can click on Account details to verify that.
Then, make sure you have safari checked off in the icloud preferences. If you already do, uncheck them for a minute or so. Then recheck them.
See if that helps.

HT1414 after updating iphone 4s and restoring and get safari bookmarks to sync

ICloud Safari History not syncing across my devices with Yosemite and iOS 8

I have a MacBook Pro with the latest update of Yosemite installed, an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.1, an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1 and other things seem to be syncing like my bookmarks, reading list, and all other iCloud data as well as iMessages and text messages. But the one thing that does not seem to be syncing is my browsing history in Safari. This is supposed to be a new feature of Yosemite and iOS 8 and it is working for a friend of mine but not me.
How can I fix this? I've tried going into iCloud settings on all three devices and turning off Safari sync and then turning it back on but no luck.

I spoke with Apple support again this weekend. The first support specialist told me that Safari browsing history was not a feature at this time. When I sent a screenshot of the notes of what updated in Safari 8.0.2 on December 11, 2014 from the AppStore, I got transferred to a senior support specialist. They had me try things like log out of icloud and then reset my network settings on my devices. But that unfortunately did not work. My next step which I did not have time to do, is to see if it is my iCloud account by creating a new iCloud account, logging out of iCloud and then resetting my network settings and then logging into iCloud with the new iCloud account and see if Safari history syncs.
I'm not sure what they will do for me if it is my iCloud account because I have so much on that account and have email addresses that I don't want to lose. And if it isn't the iCloud account they said it is probably my devices but I am not sure what they will have me do to try to fix it if it is. Set them up as new? I don't really want to do that, it takes forever to get everything back on the device.

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

Pc Safari bookmarks not syncing with icloud

HI
I installed the icloud utility on my Windows Vista PC and ticked the box to sync only the bookmarks.
However when I add bookmarks to my MacBook it doesnt update the PC version.
My ipad and iphone updates.
Help please

I've got an iPhone 4, MacBook running Snow Leopard, previously had MobileMe, ever since iCloud has come around
You must upgrade Lion v10.7.2 in order to enable iCloud so that's not the issue with the bookmarks since you are running Snow Leopard.
Open System Preferences > MobileMe then select the Sync tab and make sure Bookmarks is selected.

Safari Bookmark non-Sync Fixed with 10.9.2?

I have multiple iOS devices, and three desktop OS computers. About 6 months ago bookmark syncing between all of the devices became non-functional. Tried all the fixes suggested in the forum to no avail. Finally gave up on it and over time each device had their own unique set of bookmarks. Safari iCloud sync remained enabled on all the devices, but it appeared the changes were just ignored.
I incorportated 10.9.2 along with the companion iOS change a couple of days ago, and to my surprise Safari bookmark sync with iCloud was working again immediately. The resultant merged bookmark was initially pretty messy, but at least it was identical on all the devices now. I subsequently corrected one set of the bookmarks, and these changes were properly imported into the remaining set of devices.
Keeping my fingers crossed this was a real fix, and not a fluke.
