How to sync Safari bookmarks between various Macs?

I own a desktop iMAC and a Mac Book Pro, but most of my work is done in the iMAC, However, I'd like to sync my Safari bookmarks in my MBP in order to have the same bookmarks in it too.
Being a mobileme subscriber, I have set it up in the iMAC and the MBP to sync the Favorites too. But it doesn't seem to work as the bookmarks in my MBP are completely different from those which I'm after, i.e. the ones in my iMAC.
Where am I going wrong?

HI,
Try MobileMe: Resetting sync data
Then open System Preferences / MobileMe - Sync
Select Bookmarks in the list and click Sync.

    About my Safari bookmarks that are currently residing only on my iMac, I would like to see the same Safari bookmarks on my iPhone as well. Can I sync them from the iMac to the iPhone? Thanks.

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

  • How to sync Safari  bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air?

    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.

  • Sync Safari bookmarks on 2 Mac's

    other than sign up for Mobile Me, is there a way to sync (even if manually moving files) 2 different Mac's Safari bookmarks & toolbar?
    thx!

    Hi,
    To sync things manually, just ensure this file is copied to the same location between computers:
    Hard drive > Users > Your username > Library > Safari > Bookmarks.plist
    (I'd highly recommend backing up the file you're about to replace on the respective machine, just in case you overwrite the more recent file )

  • How to sync Safari bookmarks to my iPad2?

    I've had my iPad2 for a few months now, and I noticed that my iMac Safari bookmarks are more current than those on my iPad2, even though I think I'm set up for them to be kept current using iCloud.  I use the cable to sync with iTunes on my iMac, and I've set it up to use iCloud storage.  Obviously, I'm probably causing a conflict somehow, so please review how to ensure the iPad2 bookmarks are current with the iMac.

    This generally worked for me (finally!), though I think there is still a tricky place where your bookmarks in Safari on the iPad "over-write" those on the iMac. I was expecting some type of merge where bookmarks that were different in either system would be added to the other, but that may be expecting too much.
    I would also suggest two slight modifications/additions (though I have not thoroughly tested these):
    In step 3 - press "Keep on my iPad" after you turn off Bookmarks
    In step 5 - back in your iPad, leave Bookmarks "Off"
    I am disappointed that the iPad user guide fails to adequately describe how this process works. If you have both an iPad and an iMac, syncing the bookmarks seems like a pretty important function to get right.

  • 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.

  • Is there an alternative method to sync Safari bookmarks without using iCloud? I am running the latest versions of Mavericks, iOS and iTunes.

    Is there a method to sync Safari bookmarks from my Mac to my iPhone WITHOUT using iCloud?
    I am running the latest versions of Mavericks, iTunes and iOS.

    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.

  • TS4001 How can I share Safari bookmarks between two iCloud accounts using IOS 7 and Mavericks?

    Before iOS 7 and Mavericks, we were able to share Safari bookmarks between all of our devices.  My wife had the primary iCloud account which was setup to share bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders.  A secondary iCloud account was setup on my phone for only my email.  Each phone had our private email accounts segregated and we shared all the bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders.  When I saved a bookmark on my phone, I could see it later on our iMac or iPad.  Now only my wife can sync bookmarks between her phone and the iMac or iPad.  This *****!!  This worked beautifully before we upgraded to the latest versions of OS & iOS.  Is there a work around or a new way to set things up?  I don't want to be stuck reading Safari on my phone when I have a 24" iMac sitting in the living room.  I don't want to see all of my wife's email on my phone either.  Do we need three iCloud accounts now?  One main for sharing and two separate accounts for only email?  Need help!  Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

    David,
    Thanks for the reply.  That's how I set it up originally.  Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality.  I found the following on the TUAW website.  The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options.  This is the problem.  Everything worked great before we updated.  I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick?  Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need.  We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too.  Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

  • Cannot sync FireFox bookmarks between Mac and Android

    Hi!
    I do not succeed in syncing FireFox 29.0 bookmarks between my Mac (10.9.2) and the latest FF for Android on my Android phone (4.2.2)
    What I did:
    • Made an account on the FF-site, activated account both on Mac and Android.
    • In FF prefs, both on Mac and Android, selected bookmarks for syncing.
    • Synced FF actively on Mac. Blue wheel takes some time and then seems to be ready.
    • Synced FF actively on Android. Both from the FF-account as within FF. States a 'most recent sync' as being done. Seems to be OK too.
    • However, on Android, FF, under the tab 'bookmarks' nothing pops up. What do I do wrong?
    • Also started up FF in save mode. No difference.
    • Deleted my account en signed up again. No difference.
    After trying everything, it looks like signing in is the problem... the sync wheel it turning forever...
    Thanx!

    Sync wheel turning forever there is a bug for this: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1006360] and we could use the steps to reproduce this. Can you please provide an example sync log from the continual sync.
    Please go to <b>about:sync-log</b> in your desktop connected to the android device or on the mobile device as well.
    places.sqlite file may have a uri corrupted in it.

  • How copy safari bookmarks to another mac

    I would like to transfer Safari bookmarks from one Mac to another Safari operating on a different Mac

    Hi refalci,
    The easiest way to copy your Safari bookmarks to a different Mac is to export them from Mac #1, and import the resulting .html file into Safari on Mac #2.
    You can copy the .html file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself and open it on the second Mac.
    You indicated that you are using Mavericks OS X on your computer, so here are the instructions for Safari 6 or 7.  
    Safari 6/7 (Mavericks): Import and export bookmarks
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17154
    Open the Safari application, then:
    Export bookmarks:
    Choose File > Export Bookmarks. The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html.”
    On the second computer, open Safari and import the file that you emailed or saved to a thumb drive:
    Import bookmarks:
    Choose File > Import Bookmarks. Most bookmark files have an extension of .html or .plist.After you import bookmarks, they appear at the bottom of the sidebar in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.
    Hope that helps ...
    - Judy
