How do I get safari bookmarks to update onto the iPhone?
On my older iPhones, the Safari bookmarks always used to slurp up from my computer onto the phone so I could use them on the phone. Now, that does not happen, the bookmarks on the phone are old and never update when I plug my phone into iTunes to update.
What setting do I need to revisit to make Safari bookmarks update from the computer onto the iPhone?
TIA,
Ken
I do not subscribe to any other than the basic iCloud I am forced into having and I noticed also, in settings on the phone under 'info' in iTunes when the phone is plugged in, says that bookmarks are being updated through iCloud. This cannot be true as my bookmarks have not updated for a long time, I think since iCloud came into existence. Maybe this is an iCloud issue?
I don't want to fiddle with settings in the 'info' section as many of them say that there will be duplicates if I choose to use my computer as the source for updates. It is very dangerous as I already have duplicate calendar entries and suspect this has happened because of iCloud coming into the picture. It is very scary.

how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone? Are there some settings
that I need to turn on so I can use my headphone while talking on the phone?Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.

I bought a few songs on itunes but the songs appear in grey letters and I cannot transfer them to my iphone. I've bought/rented TV shows/movies since so there isn't an issue with my account. How can I get these newly purchased songs onto my iphone?
You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

Are you saying your iTunes doesn not have your songs? If not, where would they be? If on an older iphone, then they should have gotten there via itunes and itunes has them.

I have just pre-purchased the Iphone 5 and am concerned about the Nano_SIM. I am with Telstra in Australia. How and where do I get a Nano M and how do I get my pre-paid account onto the new SIM?
The nano SIM should come with the phone if you set it up with a carrier.
If you purchased an unlocked phone, you'll have to contact your carrier to get a nano sim card. -

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,
KenJust 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 do I get Safari bookmarks the same on ALL my devices
I liked the old upload/download arrow on iCloud -- you could tell it what to do with Safari bookmarks. But now there's no control, and no way to sync all my bookmarks. Anyone know a workaround?
Merging Safari bookmarks in iCloud between devices often creates duplicates ....
Try a reset instead.
On your Mac open System Preferrence > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
On iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Safari off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data. -
How can I import safari bookmarks from my iPad or iPhone?
I recently opened a MobileMe account and set my account to sync with my Safari on my iMac. While I was in Safari, MobileMe synced, I mistakenly allowed it to sync from MobileMe to Safari, not the other way around. So I have lost all my bookmarks. They still exist in my iPhone and iPad, but I want them to go back into my computer. I have tried syncing the devices to my iMac, but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? Have I missed something?
HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Open System Preferences/MobileMe: Select the Sync tab. Then click the Advanced tab. Select your Mac and click: *Reset Sync Data*
If that doesn't sync your Safari bookmarks back to your iPhone or iPad, try MobileMe: Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch sync issues first.
You can also post in the iPhone Forum to get help there.
Do you by chance use Firefox? You could export your Bookmarks there to Safari and it would be a much simpler process ??
