How do safari bookmarks sync with lion

My iPhone and MacBookPro Lion sync my Safari bookmarks perfectly.  I just don't know how it does it?  Cannot find anything online that discusses it.  I know iCloud doe smy contacts, calenar, etc but doe snot appear to do Safara bookmarks.

First question, you would have to re-publish to get the link in a nice "share" button.
But I think it would be easier to go to your gallery (on the web not iphoto) click on the video/album you want to share and at the top near the center click on "tell a friend"
I hope this answers the first question.
Second question: you decide privacy when you publish.

  • Thousands of safari bookmarks created with lion upgrade

    Hi,
    Since upgrading to lion OS, thousands of bookmark folders have been created in safari (maybe 50,000) which takes about 30-60s to load. They all have the same name 'Links', but are all empty.
    Is there any way to delete these folders at once, while keeping my original bookmarks (maybe about 300).
    THanks

    Hi..
    If you have iCloud enabled...
    Open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deslect the box next to Bookmarks then reselect it then restart your Mac.

  • I HAVE OS X 10.6.4, BUT NEED TO RUN SOFTWARE THAT REQUIRES POWERPC.  HOW CAN I DO THIS WITH LION?

    I HAVE OS X 10.7.4 (Lion), BUT I NEED TO RUN SOFTWARE THAT REQUIRES POWERPC.  HOW CAN I DO THIS WITH LION?

    If you are running Lion then you cannot run PPC software. Your computer would have to be capable of being booted by Snow Leopard in order to run PPC software. Or consider upgrading your PPC software or buying replacement software that works with Lion.
    What specific Mac model do you have?

  • How works final cut studio with lion?

    how works final cut studio with lion?

    The thing to take from FCPX is that it isn't an update/upgrade from 7. It's an entirely new editor. As a professional video editor myself for 5 years, I felt just as hesitant as you when I first saw what Apple had done. However, I committed myself to biting the bullet for a little while to get comfortable with the new workflow, and I can vouch for Apple's new move toward this type of setup. It has improved my workflow enough to where I can confidently say I deliver projects, on average, in half the time, with no sacrifice to quality.
    Give it another chance, if you can afford it. With a bit of training, and time into using it, you'll see it's a superior editor to FCP 7

  • Controlling how often my Q10 syncs with my Gmail account

    I cannot seem to control how often my Q10 syncs with my Gmail account. I have adjusted the settings for Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts several times, but it seems to pull the emails frequently (within an hour) regardless of the setting. I want to control the syncing manually. What am I missing? The phone is brand new and unlocked, running on AT&T, and this happens regardless of whether I am using WiFi or not.
    Thanks!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    A few possible variables...
    1) What do you have set for "Use Push if Available"
    2) How exactly is GMail integrated? EAS? IMAP? POP?
    If the answer to item 1 is yes AND you have GMail integrated as IMAP, then the time interval setting is ignored. If integrated as EAS, it may also be ignored as well as the "Use Push..." setting might also be ignored. If integrated as POP, then there is no Push, so your time interval settings would be utilized.
    So, depending on the combination of factors, it may or may not be doing exactly now what it should be.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?

    I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
    Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
    Please help

    The iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
    Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
    From iTunes: About iOS backups
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • Safari keeps crashing after 1st bookmarks sync with Chrome

    Hi,
    today I updated the iCloud software on my PC to version 3.0 and afterwards setup the new bookmark syncing feature with Chrome. After the first sync both my iOS devices (iPad 3 and iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0) don't run Safari anymore. It takes about 5 seconds after you open the app until it crashes. I can neither enter the Safari preference pane nor disable Safari syncing in the iCloud pref pane...
    What should I do? Is there a way to reset iClouds bookmarks?? It's really annoying as I can't use Safari on my iOS devices anymore right now -.-

    Exactly same Problem
    I have same problem guys.
    Since yesterday afternoon, Every time i opened safari on my iPhone and pressed either iCloud tab button on the bottom right or try type on the address bar, Safari crashed. After a long read on internet I went to the iCloud settings and turned off the switch for safari. Once i opened safari it worked fine.
    I called Apple support and discussed this issue and we tried many things like reset the phone and set it up as a new device, signing on an other iPhone with my iCloud details to see if it was the device, but in the end we found that the problem was with iCloud account and not the device related because safari started crashing on that device too. It seems like that safari data on my iCloud got corrupted. I read some forums last years where a few users experience a similar issue.
    Now can somebody suggest me any workaround to fix this. Since i cannot open safari on my iPhone, i went on my macbook and pressed the iCloud tab button to see which iCloud tabs were opened on my iPhone. it showed two tabs one with blank line but when i press on the line, it takes me to macupdate website.
    Could these two tabs be the the culprit that they are still showing on my iPhone? Can I ask apple to reset my iCloud profile? If i wait 7 days for these two tabs to clear (if they clear), will my safari start working again on iPhone? Safari is working fine on macbook though.
    Have you managed to sort out your problem if so, how?
    Thanks

  • SEVERE Problem With Safari Bookmarks Sync

    Just thought I'd bring this one to people's attention (as well as submitting a bug report to Apple).
    I have my bookmarks synced across all devices (MacBook, iMac, iPhone) and recently I decided to tidy them up a bit. On the MacBook I started moving bookmark folders into a newly created folder called "Archive" (wanted to just put some stuff I don't use often into a folder to reduce the number of top-level folders in the Bookmark list). I did this once successfully but the second time I tried to do it Safari threw an error, something like "You cannot do this right now because Bookmarks are being synced."
    OK, I thought, I'll wait.
    Then the folder that I'd just moved hundreds of bookmarks into disappeared!
    No undo. No CMD+Z. Nothing would get it back.
    Then the full horror dawned on me - Safari was now busy syncing this across all my devices. I checked my iMac and iPhone and yes, that folder full of bookmarks had been wiped off every device. Forever.
    What I found ubelievable was:
    1) Safari does not keep a 'previous version' of the Bookmarks.plist file in the same way that, say, iTunes does with it's database.
    2) iCloud does not actually 'back up' your Bookmarks. Whenever you edit them on any of your synced devices you are creating/destroying bookmarks on the only single copy of those bookmarks that exists
    So, thanks to that nice little bug (and poor implementation of bookmarks management in Safari), I've just lost hundreds of bookmarks that I can never ever recover.

    I use Dropbox for everything. This wouldn't help though in this case as unless I'd have manually copied my bookmarks to a folder in Dropbox there is no automatic way of making use of Dropbox's features with Safari (as far as I can see and without jumping through hoops)
    I'm not so much griping about whether or not iCloud backs up your data but more warning that there is a severe bug in iCloud sync whereby somehow it managed to destroy a folder full of bookmarks (which it shouldn't have done) and then propagated that through all my synced devices (which, technically, it should have done). At that point your are screwed because there's no fail-safe mechanisms in place as there is with iTunes (which makes a historic copy of your database each time you perform an operation that alters it).
    Or alternatively, given that all of Sarafi bookmarks are just nodes in a single XML file, why not make it so that you can revert to previous versions as you can in, say, TextEdit.
    I have submitted a bug to Apple by the way, I only posted here as a warning to others to be very, VERY careful when messing about with your bookmarks if they're synced to other devices.

  • How do I stop my iPhone 5s safari from syncing with my iPad Air which is for company use only

    I basically have been given an iPad Air for company use only so therefore cannot have anything from my personal iphone syncing with my ipad. Stupidly I signed in with the one Apple ID account. I've turned on private browsing and turned off my iCloud and I've also turned auto syncing off in iTunes. Will this do the trick? And if I turn it in again will my history be synced? Thanks.

    Hi,
    The answer is to delete everything off your iPad and set it up again as a new device with a new Apple ID.
    If you go to Settings>iCloud and choose Delete Account, this will get rid of your Apple ID on the iPad.
    Then you need to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings.
    Once that's done, set up the iPad as a new device, and create a new Apple ID when doing so.

  • 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!

    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

  • Safari bookmarks sync out of step

    Hello all,
    Recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, set up on iCloud etc and all is well bar one problem - my Safari bookmarks on my desktop (MacBook Pro), keep getting removed. My guess is that the bookmark list on my iPhone is being taken as the most up to date and so anythign that's been marked on my mac but doesn't appear on the iphone gets removed, iCloud sync wrongly thinking that I must have deleted it usign the iphone.
    When I first set up, I kept getting a very old list of non-synced bookmarks as appeared on my iphone and were synced a while back manually. I managed to get that sorted by deleting them all off the iphone and re-importing a back-up onto the desktop, but now I've realised that any new bookmarks I add from desktop get removed within a couple of hours, presumably because they aren't on the iphone.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    First post here; trying to be helpful, but maybe my post belongs elsewhere?
    Have been trying to determine exactly what the seemingly outdated links arise from. So I completely removed any iCloud synching from my Mac (Air 10.8.3), reset my iPhone and iPad (i.e., disconnecting safari (S) from icloud and saying to NOT save my bookmarks (BM) on the IOS device). As you'd expect, all bookmarks have been removed from my IOS devices. So I was solely working with the Air. I then started experimenting with adding additionl links to my BM bar. If I say to add a new bm, it goes onto the front of the list. I rarely want that so I immediately click on the BM icon and place the new BM in the order I want to see it. I then unclick the bm icon, Safari takes me back to the new bm (a reload), and I continue on. Sometime later, the new bm, sometimes along with other BMs I've added, gets back onto the front. Frustrating. Especially since, back when I had icloud synching turned on, what would go onto the IOS devices was the list with the new bm(s) in the front.
    So I tried a different tack, Now, once I had reordered my BMs into the order I like, I exit S, then start up S again. Every time, the ordering stays in place. So I wonder if there's a cache S (or the Mac OS, or the 'stuff' intended for IOS or maybe icloud synching) uses, e.g., a 'shadow list'. And it's that list that doesn't get updated when editing the BMs upon exiting from the edit.
    I know this is (perhaps) a long post, but what I've been doing consistently works. Perhaps it's also the case that whatever cache exists is rebuilt during S startup. In my initial testing, I turned on icloud synching after I'd setup my BMs the way I wanted (also exiting S and restarting - the restart doesn't matter BTW). The correctly ordered list showed up on my IOS devices. At this stage of testing, I've then immediately turned off S icloud synching. If my 'theory' is correct about there being some sort of cache and it's not updated until S exit (or rebuilt during S startup wold be my 'better' guess). more testing will show that up.
    The 'fix' is my theory is true? Add the calls to update the cache upon S BM editing as well. At least that's the fix from my point of view. But then again, what do I know?

  • With iCloud activated on iOS devices, how do I manage syncing with iTunes?

    Guess it's time to take a class at the Apple Store (there's an app for that)
    Two Questions:
    Question 1
    I have turned on iCloud in my iPad and iPhone5 for contacts, calendars, reminders, Safari, Passbook (iPhone only), and Find my iPhone/iPad. 
    I am not using iCloud for backups, email or photo stream because for many reasons I choose to avoid WiFi.In the iPhone User guide (page 57) it says, "if you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars.....don't also sync them to your device using iTunes."
    When I set up the devices in iTunes, i checked "Automatically sync contacts, calendrs, bnookmarks, notes and email."  Now I want to modify that setup.  However, if I simply plug in the devices to the computer I'm going to get an automatic sync and I understand that can unnecessarily duplicate data.
    How to resolve this?
    Can I just turn OFF the iCloud features on each device, attach the device to the computer, and reconfigure iTunes to stop the auto-sync of the contacts, etc.?  Then after ejecting the device, I turn the iCloud features back ON?
    Question 2
    I've been downloading apps, music, and books in iTunes and then syncing them to my devices.  How does this change with iCloud?
    On each device I've gone into Settings-Store and activated Automatic downloads of Music, Apps, Books.
    Now, when I go to my PC and log in to iTunes to order an app, book, music, do I still have to attach each device to the computer in order to obtain the downloads?
    What about apps I obtain directly from a device?

    For your first issue, without connecting your iPad open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  This will disable automatic syncing when you connect your iPad, allowing you to change your settings without syncing.  Next, connect your iPad, click on the name of your iPad on the left side of iTunes and to to the Info tab and uncheck the data you no longer want to sync with iTunes (such as contacts and calendars).  When done making you changes, click Apply at the bottom (this will sync your phone with the new settings).  If you prefer, you can then go back to iTunes preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.
    You will continue to sync your iTunes media such as music and apps with iTunes as you did before.  These are not stored or synced with iCloud (although you can redownload media purchased from the iTuens and app stores in the future if you need to; however, this has nothing to do with your iCloud account).
    If you have enabled automatic downloads for your Apple ID, when you purchase apps, music or books in iTunes using this Apple ID it will automatically be downloaded to your iPad.  If you purchase them on your iPad, they will be automatically added to your iTunes library when you sync your iPad.

  • Address book Sync with Lion Server

    Hello,
    I have set up a Mac Mini with Lion Server and have OD users (no local user on the server). When I login "locally" (using the OD user account), I have my full environment, everything seems to work ok. Also the sync from my iPhone seems to work (only some calendar errors, sync doesn't come up with address book errors). But, as I now have noted, there is not really a sync of the address book. I have an old version of my address book on the server.
    How do I properly set up that:
    - my iPhone syncs with my OD user's address book only
    whereas
    -  central address book is kept on the OD server as well (without any sync)?
    Or did I get something wrong regarding the concept of running an address book on the Lion server ... maybe it's not possible to sync the iPhone to an OD user's address book?
    Best regards,
    Olaf.

    Have you tried rebuilding the accounts in SystemPrefs>Mail, Contacts and Calendars?
    Are the machines bound to the directory?
    Try setting it up in a fresh account on the broken Mac.
    Try setting it up on a different Mac.
    Hope this helps,
    Brian

  • Safari bookmark sync (continuity) does not work anymore

    I noticed that my Safari stopped syncing between devices.
    I have Safari enabled in iCloud settings on all my devices (two Macs with OS X 10.10.2; one iPad Air 2, and one iPhone6, both with iOS 8.2).
    I also tried the usual disable-enable-merge cycle, with more than 1 minute wait-time in between for the syncing to fully complete.
    In the end, each device still has its own version of the bookmarks and reading list.
    It used to work when running OS X 10.0 and iOS 8.1.
    I don't know when this has changed.
    Please help here.
