How do I sync. Safari Bookmarks

Step by step please, how dI sync my Safari bookmarks to and from my iPad4? I did it once but now can't remember how. Do I have to use MobileMe because that's not set up. Thanks. It would also be nice if I could alphabetise the iPad Bookmarks. Can I?

MobileMe is now history and replaced by iCloud, which as you know does not work in Snow Leopard (although there are workaround, if you care to search for them).  However, since you have access to Mavericks...
Reboot into your Mavericks partition and setup iCloud there and this should satisfy all of your sync'ng needs.
Good work, keeping your Snow Leopard environment intact! 
Too many SL users are seduced by Apple's pop-up window from the App Store in SL enticing them into downloading a "free" upgrade to Mavericks, which then destroys their SL environment (requiring backup restores, or worse!).

  • 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 force sync Safari Bookmarks from my laptop to the iPhone?

    I have "cleansed" and rearranged my Safari Bookmarks on my laptop and would like to have the same structure and set of bookmarks on my iPhone, but syncing apparently does not change the bookmarks on the iPhone.??? I am puzzled. What do I do wrong?
    How can I delete all bookmarks on the iPhone and force a synchronisation with the laptop? (In System Preferences>Mobile Me the Safari Bookmarks are checked).
    thanks in advance for any pointers/ suggestions/solutions.
    Cheers,
    Veit

    Thanks a lot for your instant response. I am now in iTunes>Info>Advanced, but there the only options after Replace Info on the iPhone is Mail Accounts and that is greyed out. The Web Browser heading above the Advanced heading says: Your bookmarks are being synced with iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air syncing settings can be changed on your iPhone.
    But on the iPhone I don't find where to change these settings. Any suggestions?
    Thanks a million.

  • How can you sync safari bookmarks between iphone 5 and ipad mini retina? IOS 7.1.2

    The syncing works between my iMac and iPhone on one hand and between iMac and iPad on the other. I'm using IOS 7.1.2. I made sure iCloud is on on IOS devices, same iCloud account, made sure there is no problem with the WiFi...I appreciate any help I can get. thanx

    Finally I got a solution from an Apple guy today. First we did the following steps on an iPad and then on iPhone.
    Basically, it comes down to this:
    general/restore/ erase all content and settings
    set up the iPhone/iPad as a new device
    type your iCloud account info
    once everything is up and running, wait for a while and first check on contacts, calendars, notes if it's syncing with the iCloud, then open safari and look for the other device. In my case it worked and iPad finally detected iPhone and I could see the safari tabs from the iPhone on the iPad.
    But then, Iphone still couldn't detect the iPad, so the guy said the original problem was probably in iPhone. And so we did the whole thing again on iPhone and then I finally had my tabs from all devices visible on every device.
    Thanks for your help anyway.

    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.

  • How do I sync the bookmarks from Safari with those in Firefox?

    I have a PC running Firefix and Firefox Sync okay. I have an ipad 2 with Firefox Home installed and connected okay to my FF sync account.
    I was expecting FF Home to sync the bookmarks on ipad Safari with those on the desktop. Apparently not so.
    I can see the desktop bookmarks within the FF Home app on the ipad.
    How do I...
    - Properly sync bookmarks between the two systems (FF on desktop and Safari on iPad?)
    - Failing that, how do I sync the bookmarks on the iPad with Firefox? Currently it seems to be a one-way transfer (i.e. I can only access the bookmarks on the desktop PC from the iPad)
    Thanks
    James

    Thanks for the quick response. At least I know now, and won't waste any time tying to get it to do something it wasn't coded for.

  • How can I import Safari bookmarks to my iPhone 6

    I simply want to export Safari bookmarks from my Mac to iPhone 6. I do not want to use cloud. ITunes lets me sync contacts and calendars (along with music, movies and all the other crap I do not want to sync) but does not offer me the option  of syncing safari bookmarks. How the **** do I do it?

    How? You use simply iCloud. That's your only choice.

    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.

  • How do i transfer safari bookmarks to new iphone 6 plus

    how do i transfer safari bookmarks from an iphone 4s to a new iphone 6 plus?

    All you need to do is make a backup of your iPhone 5, either in iCloud or iTunes and then restore your new iPhone 6 to that backup. When you say you are getting this message about Find My iPhone, have you set that up already in the new phone? Importing photos from the iPhone to the computer does not require Find My iPhone, just an import utility on the computer, depending on your computer OS.

  • 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

  • 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.
