How do I transfer Safari bookmarks from MBA to iPad2?

I've spent way too much time trying to do this on my ownl  HELP!  Purchased a refurbished iPad2 from Apple online.  My local Apple store "set me up" with iCloud.  I expected this to move my bookmarks over from the MBA to iPad however, when I use Safari on iPad, none of my bookmarks are there. 
Manual is warning that if I transfer with iTunes and have iCloud already set up, I may duplicate some info.  I'm confused  -  is iTunes used for transferring info initially then iCloud to store and move info back and forth?

You need to set up iCloud on your computer by going into System Preferences > iCloud.
You can only do that if you are running OS X Lion (10.7).

  • How do I transfer Safari bookmarks from one computer to another?

    I have 3 macs and want to have the same bookmarks on each...is there an easy way to do this? Thanks in advance! I have Safari 4.0.4.

    Hi
    you could use Safari's File-Export Bookmarks function... and then import
    or copy the file 'Bookmarks.plist' over from Home/Library/Safari/ - although I've seen a few cases lately where some 'custom' permissions have seemingly resulted from this, making the transferred file effectively read-only, so no new bookmarks can be added. Certainly I've done it that way, w/o any problems.

  • 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.

  • How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer.

    How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I am not able to access Firefox under one user account on my computer so I created another account. How can I transfer the bookmarks from the old account?

    I use windows Vista and I cannot open Firefox under one user account (I keep receiving the "firefox profile cannot be loaded . . ." error message) on my computer so I created another account. How can I transfer the bookmarks from the old account?

    NOTE: you can skip this 1st step.
    Step 1
    I'm on Win7 so the paths might be slightly different... C:\Users\(YOUR PC ACCOUNT)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bnelgkol.default\bookmarkbackups ... Find the "bookmarks-[DATE].json" you want and copy it to the profile you want. You may want to change the date to a name you will recognize.
    Step 2
    Then on your browser "Bookmarks>Show All Bookmarks or Ctrl+Shift+B ". This will bring up the Bookmark Organizer, I think they call it Library now. From there click "Import & Back up>Restore" this will bring up a drop down with your back ups. If you followed step 1, find the json you added and select it. If you skipped step 1, from "Import & Back up>Restore" select "Choose File..." Then browser for the json you want to import. Which should be in a similar location as mentioned in step 1.
    NOTE: "AppData" is a hidden folder, will have to set show hidden folders to be able to see it.

  • How do you transfer Safari bookmarks to a new MAC?

    I have a G4 Tower (Jaguar) but just got an iMac G5 (that will be Tiger). How do I transfer my Safari bookmarks to my new MAC? THX, Barb

    Your new iMac has a feature as part of the setup to migrate all your existing user settings (and applications if you wish) from your G4 (you connect the two systems using a Firewire cable), so that's probably the easiest way.
    If you just want the Safari bookmarks, though, and nothing else, they're in your users' Library -> Safari folder, the file names Bookmarks.plist. Just copy that file to the same folder on your new iMac.
    Hope this helps.

  • My hard drive crashed. I slaved the old drive, but did not make a backup of my bookmarks. how can I transfer my bookmarks from the old drive to the new one?

    My original hard drive was replaced due tom multiple errors. Before it crashed completely, I installed a new hard drive and slaved the old one to allow me to access the data and transfer it to the new one. I did not backup the bookmarks. How can I pull the old bookmarks from the old drive to the new installation drive???

    Since you said you were able to transfer the data from your old drive to the new one, you probably still have the old Firefox Profile. Please read this article to see if it helps:

  • My motherboard died on hp laptop. i put my hard drive into an enclosure to access data. is it possible/how do i transfer my bookmarks from hard drive to my new computer which is a macbook pro?

    hello. my name is brandon. my hp laptop motherboard died 3 days ago. i have put my hard drive into an enclosure to be able to access all my info and files. i have successfully transferred all my files, but I am not sure if, or how i can access all my mozilla bookmarks from my my old hard drive to be able to put onto my new laptop, which is an macbook pro. my bookmarks were crucial to pay bills etc, so any help would be greatly appreciated, brandon

    Not familiar with the Mac file structure either but you can transfer the entire content of your Firefox profile replacing entire content of a firefox profile you created on new HD. For me copying over a few files was out of the question all of the files are updated and I wasn't about to reinstall 150+ extensions and set up configurations for everything and to do that for that 20 profiles and .ini file. Except for 3 most didn't have a lot of extensions but it would be rather impossible.
    I copied everything from the Mozilla folder down in the user libraries so all my profiles were set, it did something similar for application libraries.

  • 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.
