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.
Veit

    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.

    Yes, but you will need to use iCloud ...

    Can anyone tell me if there's a way to place my safari bookmarks from my iMac to my iPhone and iPad?

    Activate iCloud on all the devices and select Safari in the settings. Your bookmarks will stored on Apple servers, so you should only do this if you don't mind sharing that information with Apple employees.

  • Not syncing Safari bookmarks from ipad

    i have some bookmarks on my iPad tthat I want to sync to my Mac so I can then sync them to my iPhone. I have sync Safari bookmarks turned on iTunes but they don't sync To the Mac.
    i Must be doing something wrong but I don't know what. I tried searching Apple support And these forums but couldn't find anything.
    does anyone have any advice on this

    Hi needleman_mark,
    Happy Holidays!
    The best way to keep your bookmarks synced between your iPad, iPhone and Mac is to use iCloud.  Check your iCloud settings on all three devices and make sure Safari is turned on.  Click on the link below for complete details.  I've highlighted some of the key information for you:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203519
    Troubleshooting on iOS
    First, confirm that you’ve turned on iCloud Bookmarks:
    On iOS 6 or iOS 7, go to Settings > iCloud and check that Safari is turned on.
    On iOS 5, go to Settings > iCloud and check that Bookmarks is turned on.
    Next, try each of these steps, testing after each step to see if the issue is resolved:
    Try installing the latest version of iOS supported by your device.
    Go to Settings > iCloud and make sure you are signed in to the same iCloud account that you are using on your other supported devices.
    Make sure that your iOS device is online by attempting to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List will not update in the Safari app. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Troubleshooting on OS X Lion or later
    First, confirm that you've turned on iCloud bookmarks:
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
    Make sure that the checkbox labeled Safari (or Bookmarks) is selected.
    Next, try each of these steps, testing after each step to see if the issue is resolved:
    Make sure that you are using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. If necessary, review the steps for finding your OS X version information.
    Make sure that your computer is online by attempting to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List will not update in Safari. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Wishing you all the best this Holiday season!

  • 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 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 ??
