Icloud not syncing bookmarks properly anymore.

icloud isn't syncing bookmarks properly anymore. It was working fairly well for a while there. I seem to have some instances of bookmark deletion being replicated but not bookmark addition. This isn't consistent though. I don't have any major duplication of hundreds of bookmarks (yet) but my new ones aren't always appearing everywhere as they used to.
A quick search on twitter shows that this is becoming more and more common.
I've already submitted feedback to Apple about this. I suggest everyone else having problems do the same.

I found this on another post in Apple Forums, so I copied and pasted it here: Bookmarks not syncing to Mac (scroll down to "binaryBytes" post or just read it below)
"I was having the same issue as well - iCloud Safari bookmarks were syncing on my iPhone and iPad but not on my Macbook Air or Macbook Pro. Here is what I did and it started working perfectly:
1.     Turned off iCloud bookmark syncing on my Macbook Air
2.     Quit Safari
3.     Turned on iCould bookmark syncing back. It warned me that all my bookmarks will be 'merged' and I agreed since the two computers were almost identical anyway.
4.     Opened Safari and all my bookmarks were synced! A few extra bookmarks on my iMac were added to Macbook Air and any new bookmarks I had added to Macbook Air showed up on my iMac."
I hope this helps resolve your issues. It resolved mine.

ICloud not syncing bookmarks to Lion from iOS 6

Has anyone had issues with iCloud not syncing bookmarks to Lion from iOS 6?

Not yet...
On the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
On an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Safari off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

ICloud not syncing Bookmarks _BAR_

So iCloud is a fail so far - 2 Macs (one a home, one a work) and they are not syncing bookmarks. At least not any bookmarks in the Menu Bar. But I keep ALL my bookmarks in the menu Bar.
Anyone have a clue when iCloud will be able to sync all bookmarks between Macs?

This iCloud sync problem has been resolved... (at least on my two Apple devices).....
My iPhone would not sync the bookmarks or bookmarks bar from my iMac. I have a new iPhone 4s that I just purchased recently and my iMac is about a year old. My iMac was using the latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system.
I did some research and discovered that in order for iCloud to work properly (to sync bookmarks and the bookmarks bar) between my new iPhone and older iMac that I needed to purchase and install Apple's newest operating system: OS X Lion. I purchased and downloaded the newest version OS X Lion, (version 10.7.2) and now iCloud works flawlessly between my two Apple devices.
Apparently iCloud does not work properly with Apple's older operating systems, though iCloud did sync my contacts, calendars and reminders it would not sync my bookmarks or bookmarks bar until I upgraded the operating system on my iMac to OS X Lion.
It's a shame that I had to pay for and download a whole new operating system on my iMac before the iCloud system would work correctly on both of my Apple devices but at least now iCloud works the way it is supposed to.
I hope this info helps others with the same problem I was having with iCloud bookmarks.

ICloud not syncing calendar properly (iPad, iPhone, Mac)

Recently my iCloud calendar hasn't been syncing properly to my iPad. I just realized this and turned off/on the calendar option in iCloud (for all of them) but this didn't do anything besides wipe all my appointments from my iPhone. I don't know how to get them to come back. The appointments still show up on iCloud.com as well as on Calendar on my Mac. Just not on my iPad and apparently now my iPhone too. When I add a new appt on my Mac or iCloud, they show up on the other one, but not on iPhone or iPad.
Please help!
Thanks.

ICloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC

iCloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC
I don't even use IE but since the Firefox app won't open the bookmarks in Safari, I thought I'd just copy my Firefox bookmarks to IE, then use the cloud sync. (I am syncing and backing up to iCloud, and not my PC)
I did this all last night: backed up and then synced to iCloud Another thread suggested that you shut down IE so I did that. Someone else had suggested on a different thread that un-checking and re-checking the Bookmark check box in the iCloud Control panel would trigger a re-sync...did that all last night in hopes it would sync and it didn't.
I manually deleted everything in the Safari bookmarks in the Phone that it would allow, but now strangely enough in addition to the "Reading List" and "history" folders, I have TWO "Bookmarks Bar" folders with identical contents.
So I'm trying to be patient and thought maybe it takes some time for it to re-sync so I left iTunes up and running on the PC overnight...as usual....so I tried again this evening. I still have my old bookmarks on the iPhone (4S), and they've never pulled in.
Thoughts?

Gee, I don't know what to tell you....I can open IE, add a folder, resync my iPhone to the iCloud, and the new folder appears. I even tried it while leaving IE open (I had read on another thread that closing it might help, but it had no adverse impact on my ability to sync).
Well, all I can suggest is to give Safari a try, or use the Firefox app (unfortunately it's a multi-step process to open a link through Safari, but that might not bother you)
Or, just run through these checkpoints one more time to make sure nothing is missed.
Are you running Windows 7 or later, and have you downloaded the iCloud Control panel for Windows?

Do you have Bookmarks turned on in iCloud settings on your iOS device?
You may have done exactly this, but if not, give this a try (and may help others in the future)
Deselect Bookmark syncing in the iCloud control panel     on your PC.
Deselect iCloud Bookmarks on your iOS device. It should     then prompt you to take action with the previously synced bookmarks on     your device. Choose "Delete from my iPhone (or whatever delete option     it gives you).
Sync manually to the cloud through your iOS device. You should have no bookmarks on your device.
Now turn everything back on...
In the iCloud control panel, re-select     Bookmarks/Internet Explorer
on your iOS device, re-enable iCloud Bookmark Syncing
Now manually back up your iOS device to iCloud

ITunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPhone...

I've been running into this problem when trying to sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes for a while now. I was hoping that the latest iOS update would have fixed it, but it seems like it didn't.
I get this error every time I try to sync:
iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPhone "Crake" because the bookmarks are in use by the iPhone.
Close the bookmarks settings on the iPhone, then sync again.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7, iTunes 10.2.2 and iOS 4.3.3.
I have already restored my iPhone, replaced the bookmarks and closed all applications before syncing; nothing seems to work.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks!

Just spent an hour with Applecare support.. I had been getting a message when I tried to look at Bookmarks on the iPhone "Bookmarks are being synced. Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed" - this has been the message for 10 days now on the iPhone whenever I try to create a bookmark or look at Bookmarks list. Applecare advised resetting the Bookmarks in iTunes by manual setting but as I was talking on theiPhone I had to finish the call to do the sync.. Then I got the message in iTunes as above that the bookmarks are in use..
Need to retain Mobileme cos I don't want to lose KEYCHAIN syncing yet until I have worked out waht to do with the service not being available on iCloud.
I thought maybe the update of the phone to iOS5 would clear up this Safari Bookmark error but it was like safari had remained running throughout the update to iOS5 process - it looked exactly the same..
So frustrating .. and yet the iPad is working perfectly on iOS 5 - it and two computers are all in sync on all Mobileme items.. Just iPhone Bookmarks is out.

ICloud not syncing when you change default folder

Hi,
there seems to be an issue with iCloud not syncing photostream when you choose a different folder to store your pictures. Though if you'd still like to have your photostream pictures in a different folder, use my solution:
1. Close all apple executables from task manager (ApplePhotStreams.exe, iCloudServices.exe)
2. Remove C:\Users\<Username>\Pictures\iCloud Photos
3. Create a symbolic link to the folder you'd like to use:
     Start a command prompt, and use the following command to create a symbolic link:
     mklink "C:\Users\<Username>\Pictures\iCloud Photos" "<newpath>"
     Where <newpath> is the path where you'd like to store your pictures.
4. Start iCloud and sign out
5. sign in again and apply settings
6. Enjoy!

No, what I am saying is that the ones that have it on by default seem to work properly. The ones that you have to go in and enable the feature do not seem to save to iCloud once that option has been enabled. I've ran into several:
Don't save to iCloud (Have to go in an toggle the setting)
Anomaly Warzone HD
Zombieville USA
Cut the Rope experiments
DO save to iCloud (Setting is on by default)
Bards Tale
Batman Arkham lockdown
The Incident
Infinity Blade

My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore. I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689" firewall is off

My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore. I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689" firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

Thanks Rudegar,
I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
Thanks again

ITunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPod

I'm suddenly getting "iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPod...because the iPod disconnected" every single time I connect to iTunes.
Haven't seen this one before - any (good) ideas?

Never mind - deleted some Safari bookmarks created by my Nokia N82, and the problem went away...

My blackberry tour does not sync my contacts anymore with outlook 2007. I do not get an error message. Help!!

My blackberry tour does not sync my contacts anymore with outlook 2007. I do not get an error message. Help!!

Norton is probably the issue. It can really screw things up, that is one reason I never use it. See if you can temporarily disable it and then try the sync and see if that works.
On a Mac, there is a way to run a program that repairs permissions for the user, not a Windows thing.

Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

It is not Mac to Mac.
Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

Safari on Windows 7 is not syncing bookmarks with iCloud correctly

I have a Windows 7 computer for work and on this I added iCloud and Safari. I configured iCloud to sync with Safari (not Explorer) and it was working okay.
I wanted to reorganize my bookmarks as I look at most things on my iPhone these days. I tried to move the bookmarks in Safari (on Windows 7) and found the operation to be clunky. It was often crash out and I would have to wait a couple of seconds between every move why the iCloud sync occured. So I gave up doing it in Windows.
So i started to adjust the bookmarks on the iPhone. After moving a few around it appeared to be working to I got more aggressive. Then Safari on Windows stopped syncing. I am now missing a whole bunch of bookmarks on Safari in Windows. They are still there on my iPhone. I have not checked my home Macbook yet as, well I'm at work, so I am not sure if this is just a windows issue or also a mac issue with Safari.
I have shutdown and restarted Safari. i have disabled and enabled icloud on Windows. I can't get it to sync my bookmarks back.
Any ideas?

Don't worry I have the bookmarks back.
I don't know why but they took a couple of hours to sync up whereas normally it is almost instantaneous.
