HT5372 Does icloud sync bookmarks between devices?

Hi there,
Previously, when I synced my iphone to my macbook pro using itunes, the bookmarks in safari including those in the bookmark bar, were synced too. Does icloud sync bookmarks in safari between devices? Thanks.

Thanks. That worked. Unfortunately, I guess the way I did it, it synced in the wrong direction so I've lost all the bookmarks I'd added to safari on my laptop since the last time these synced. :-(  That's one aspect of icloud I find scary and frustrating.

  • I'm Confused.... Does iCloud sync all my devices if I do not have Lion installed on my Mac?

    Initially I understood that all it required was to be running 10.5 software for iCloud to work. Now I find this........
    When will iCloud be up and running?
    All iCloud features are available right now if you’re running iOS 5 on your mobile devices and Lion on your Mac. iTunes Match is available for those running iTunes 10.5.1 or later on OS X Lion or Snow Leopard.
    Saying iCloud doesn't work unless I upgrade to Lion. I really don't want the Lion upgrade yet. Should I abandon iCloud until I upgrade to Lion?

    At it's heart Lion is OS X. Yes it has new features and like any product you may like some and not have a use for others. The IOS desktop look alike on Lion is called Mission Control, while I've played with it I have no need for it either and rarely if ever look at it. However for someone that has used OS X for several years it's not necessary, my guess is it's designed for those that want to transition from a IOS device to a Mac.
    The success of any major upgrade is in the preparation. You have done one of the first steps to see your software is up-to-date. You may want to check with the apps you use frequently and see if they have updates too. I use a free tool called AppFresh that survey's all the apps on my computer and lets me know if updates are available. You can download AppFresh from Macupdate.com if you are interested. Next make sure your computer meets Lion System requirements which are:
    Mac OS X Lion System Requirements
    In order to install Mac OS X 10.7 you will need:
    Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of RAM (I'd recommend 4GB or more)
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
    At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended
    Once your machine has met the hardware and software requirements then you're ready to get Lion installed. As with any update again do a little preparation, I'd recommend using the suggestions in this Update Process post. This all sounds like a lot of work but it makes for a fun Saturday afternoon project if you like to tinker a bit.

  • Icloud bookmark plugin for chrome does not sync probably between different PCs

    The bookmarks I set on one of my PCs goes into a seperate folder on another PC, it seems a bug.
    I am using Google Chrome on Windows 7 Home 64-bit, which Simplified Chinese Locale.
    Regards,

    Hi Jonah,
    Have you tried going to Setting>iCloud and turning On the "Bookmarks" option with the Safari next to it?
    On all devices?
    This might help sync bookmarks between your devices.

  • IBooks bookmarks syncing incorrectly between devices

    I have a book I am reading on iBooks on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks, my iPhone 5s with iOS 7, and my iPod touch 4g, which has iOS 6. I have each device set up to sync bookmarks and collections between devices, but the bookmarks keep syncing incorrectly. For example: I am reading on my iPhone, and I drop a bookmark 2 pages away from the end of chapter 40. If I open the book on my iPod touch it does not show the current bookmark, but an old one from earlier in the chapter. Another example: I am reading on my iPod touch, and I drop a bookmark two pages away from the end of chapter 40. This time, I open the book on my iPhone, and it has placed a new bookmark at chapter 39! I open the book on my MacBook Pro after that, and a bookmark has been placed at the beginning go chapter 40!
    So, there you have it. I place a bookmark on one device, and the other two devices place bookmarks in completely different places on the book.
    All of my devices have the same Apple ID, and both of the mobile devices are synced with iTunes.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks.

    The only info that syncs via iCloud for iBooks is collection lists (not the books themselves), Bookmarks, and Notes.
    The Books themselves can be automatically downloaded if they are coming from the store.  On the iPhone, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Turn on Automatic Downloads for Books.  Same thing can be done on the Mac in preferences.
    Since your Books are not from the store, the only way to get them on both devices is to download them to both devices.  This will never occur automatically.  This also goes for PDFs you add to your iBooks
    Hope that helps solve the mystery.
    iBooks: How to sync iBooks between devices
    If you buy a book on your Mac, it’s automatically available on all of your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later.
    You can even synchronize your bookmarks, notes, and collections across your devices.

  • How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

    How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
    I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
    How to do this, without iCloud?

    You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want.  Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way.  While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe. 
    Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

  • How often does iCloud sync ?.

    How often does iCloud sync my devices ??

    Your Mac's address book, on the front page - was the address you added inside a group that is listed in the general category "iCloud" or "On my mac" ?  If the latter, then that doesn't sync to iCloud.    If iCloud, you might try a small editing change to the entry, like erase last letter of last name, get out of address book, go back in and put the last letter back in.  That should force a sync.

  • I need to sync bookmarks between Firefox Sync and Seamonkey. Is this possible and if so how to do it??

    I use Firefox and Seamonkey, both on the same computer and also on other computers. I would like to use Firefox Sync to sync bookmarks between Firefox and Seamonkey on all my computers, but I don't understand how to do this, since the browsers seem to use their own separate servers.
    Is this possible and if so can you tell me how to set it up.
    Thanks.

    I understand the confusion!
    I am not a Mozilla support person, but from my experience, Sync should be called Mozilla Sync, not Firefox or Seamonkey Sync.....
    If you create an account in Firefox, that account is accessible to Seamonkey.
    As per the Mozilla instructions, in Firefox you open "Options, sync, add device" and in Seamonkey "setup sync, I already have an account". The text here is a bit confusing because it should read "I already have a Mozilla Sync Account", otherwise you tend to think it implies a Seamonkey Sync account...
    Then click "connect" and Seamonkey then supplies three fields of characters which you enter in the appropriate fields in the Firefox "add device" dialog.
    I think it is confusing that in Firefox the server is called "Firefox Sync Server" and likewise Seamonkey offers a "Seamonkey Sync Server" suggesting they are two completely separate, non-connected entities.
    Hope this helps!

  • Does Icloud sync for bookmarks between Ipad and mac pro with lion work for anyone?

    My wife has an Ipad 2 and Macbook Pro tunning Lion. Bookmarks and docs do not sync on icloud. I see from the discussions many are having this problem. My question is does this work for anyone? Am wasting my time trying to make it work?

    It works now, but it was a bit of a mess for a bit.
    I turned off bookmark syncing on all devices but one, I exported my bookmarks to the desktop and deleted them from safari, thus deleting them from iCloud, I then added them back from the desktop. On my other devices I deleted all my bookmarks, turned bookmark syncing back on and chose to merge.

  • ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

    I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make  a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
    I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
    Any clues?

  • Syncing emails between devices

    i would like to have my emails synced between devices. if i delete on my imac, they should delete on my iphone and ipad. isn't this what syncing is supposed to do?

    No.
    This is what IMAP does.  You need to use an IMAP account (versus POP) and then mail is stored on the mail server and you will get the same mail in the same state on all devices.
    Who are you using for Mail?  Not every service provides an IMAP account.  But iCloud mail is IMAP, and is available for free from Apple.

  • HT4436 iCloud for app between devices

    how to i turn off compatibility of an app between devices? under iCloud settings, I turned off "notes", but it's still connected between my mac and iPhone. for example, when I edit/delete a note on my phone, it edits/deletes the note on my mac… Does anyone know how to turn it off?

    If you turned of Notes in Settings>iCloud and changes to your notes on your phone still appear on your Mac, you must be syncing notes with another provider rather than iCloud.  Open the Notes app and tap Accounts at the top.  Tap each account listed to see what account your notes belong to (iCloud only syncs notes that belong to the iCloud account; the iCloud account won't be listed if you turned off Notes in Settings>iCloud). 
    If you notes belong to another account, for example a Gmail account, you would need to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap the Account, then turn off Notes syncing with the account in order to stop syncing with your Mac.

  • Cannot sync bookmarks between iPhone and iPad

    I have the latest iOS running on both the iPhone and iPad. I have the latest version of iBooks on both. I am running the latest version of iTunes on the latest version of Lion on my Mac and am logged into my iCloud account on all devices, with servcies enabled throughout all devices. In iBooks, I have enabled sync bookmarks on all devices. And just in case someone asks, yes they all have access to a wifi network.
    However, my bookmarks are not in sync at all. In fact no device duplicates the same bookmarks.
    So what is going on here?
    I just saw an Apple ad with the tag line "it just works" ... Nothing could be farther from the truth. In the absence of any instructions, I feel like I have reached the edge of intuitiveness here ...

    Seriously, why don't my Bookmarks synchronize between my devices?
    Is this an iCloud problem or is it an iBooks problem?
    Obviously selecting sync bookmarks in the settings for each device is not enough ...

  • ICal on MacBook Pro does not sync to other devices

    I'm lost ... we have an iMac (10.8.3), a MacBookPro (10.7.5) 3 iPads (1/5.1.1 - 2/6.0.2 - Air/7.0.4) and an iPhone (6.1.3) syncing calendars via iCloud. Everything works great EXCEPT when we enter an event in iCal on the MBP .... it does not sync to the other devices. Entries on all other devices sync fine to all others, but not when they're made in iCal on the MBP, these will only show up on the MBP. I've compared settings of the iMac and the MBP and all seems fine. I'm at a loss and have no idea where to look or what to do to resolve this. Is there anyone here who can point me in the right direction? Thank you very much!
    P.S.: not sure whether I should post this in this iCloud community or whether I should post it in an iCal community. Sorry.

    Open iCal on your MBP and go to iCal>Preferences>General and make sure the Default Calendar is set to an iCloud calendar and not and On My Mac Calendar.  If it is set to an iCloud calendar, try adding any missing events from the calendar on your MBP to the calendar on icloud.com.  Once all the MBP events are on the calendar on icloud.com, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck iCal (Calendar), choose Delete from Mac (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check iCal (Calendar) again.
    If events added to your MBP still don't sync to iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in.  (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud.  Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • Firefox Sync doesn't sync bookmarks between smartphone and tablet.Works fine between desktop and mobiles.

    I have a desktop,smartphone and tablet.They all have the latest FX35.They are all signed in and connected to Sync.Sync is the latest version and it works with email and password, instead of pins.On all devices, Sync is configured to sync all items(bookmarks,tabs etc).
    When I enabled Sync on smartphone and tablet, they got my desktop's bookmarks without a problem.They appear in a folder named desktop bookmarks.All the changes reflect properly between smartphone-desktop and tablet-desktop, but, the bookmarks do not sync between smartphone-tablet.
    When I open a tab on the smartphone, after a while it appear on tablet's Synced Tabs page.Vice verse is true also.So at least some syncing exists between smartphone-tablet.
    Is it possible to create a bookmark on smartphone and have it appear on the tablet and vice verse,just like the synced tabs work ? I tried deleting the sync account and creating a new one, but I still don't see my smartphone's bookmarks on the tablet.
    It would be even better if there was an option to choose which device can override another device's bookmarks.I don't really need desktop bookmarks on smartphone, but I'm too scared to delete them.I'm afraid it will also delete them from desktop... ?
    Thanks.

    HI GeorgePeterson:
    So "new" aka "Firefox Accounts based sync" syncs desktop<->tablet and desktop<->phone but not phone<->tablet. Hmmm I actually have tested this S5<->Nexus 5<->desktop (Mac) and it worked.
    soooo the big question :-)
    # What desktop OS version (e.g. Mac OS X 10.10, 10.8, Windows (Windows 7, 8), Ubutuntu crafty codger ), what tablet and OS version(e.g. Nexus 7 2013, Android 5 Lollipop), what phone (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.2)
    I will re-test too!
    Cheers!
    ...Roland
