ICloud Safari tab sync doesn't work?

I have iOS 6 and both my iPod and Mac are connected to the iCloud account. Any ideas why it doesn't work? The iCloud icon keeps saying the infamous "iCloud automatically shows all the ....." But nothing pops up. I have Safari open on my iPod with 5 tabs. Has anyone had a similar problem, or is it just me? haha

Hello ascSB,
I was researching the issue you are describing, and have some ideas for things for you to try. First I First from our would turn off Safari in Settings>iCloud, then back on. I recommend choosing to keep safari data on your phone when you turn it off, it will prompt you. If that doesnt make the icloud tabs act correctly, then from our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 I would try sections 1, 3, and 5.
Here is section one to get you started.
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
When you get to section 3, I recommend closing ALL the apps.
All the best,
Sterling

New safari tabs view doesn't work on iPad

I have an iPad mini that I've just updated to iOS 8.02. When I use the Safari tabs view, I don't get any of the tabs that are open on my iMac or iPhone 5s. I notice that there's a spinning wheels near the wifi indicator but only the tabs on the iPad show up. This works fine on my iPhone but won't work on the iPad. Any ideas why? Seems I've been having many issues with this update I've never had before.

An answer will require more specific information of the problems you are experiencing Mpittas2.
In general, if you installed any third party anti-virus utilities, get rid of them. They can cause problems like this.

How to remove an AppleStore's loaned iPhone from my iCloud Safari Tabs?

I'm have a problem of a loaned iPhone still showing up in my iCloud Safari Tabs and would like to remove it.
I was issued a loaner while my iPhone was sent in for repairs, and upon returning it, I wasn't signed out of iCloud before the store clerk proceeded to erase all the settings and data on the phone.
Now, upon looking through my safari's iCloud tabs, I am stuck with the loaner phone's last tab sessions.
I've tried to remove the phone from my iCloud account, however it is not showing up. I've tried merging all iCloud data and that did not clear it out.
I can't imagine I'm the first to experience this and would hope Apple has a means in place to handle this, I just don't know where.
Any help is appreciated!

As stated in the last paragraph of this article, they will automatically be removed after 14 days: Set up and use iCloud Tabs.

I am trying to download a file from Safari. It doesn't work.

I am trying to download a file from Safari. It doesn't work. It always comes up with a notification saying, 'Safari could not download this file'. Why does it do that? More importantly, what should I do? how do I download it?
Thanks to the users who reply to this. It will help me a lot.

What type of file is it?
If safari can't natively open the file, or there is no App installed thatr can, it won't download.

ICloud Safari Tabs

I use both an iPad4 and an iPad Mini retina. When I check my iCloud Safari Tabs on my iPhone or my MBP, however, I get only tabs from one of the two iPads, generally the ones from the device I used more recently. Is that an intended behavior or some kind of a bug? I can't see why iCloud can't keep Safari Tabs from two dfferent iPads.
Thanks.

None of those things helped. When I started the 'troubleshooting' I could see on my Mac the Tabs of the iPhone and of the iPad4, not of the Mini. On the iPad4, I could see the Tabs of the Mac and of the iPhone, again not of the Mini. On the iPhone, I could see the Tabs of the Mac and of the iPad4, and again not of the Mini. On the Mini, I could see the Tabs of the Mac and of the iPhone, but not of the iPad4.
OK, now I turn off Safari in the iCloud Settings of my Mini. Guess what happens? On both my Mac and my iPhone the Tabs of the iPad4 disappear!!!! Of the iPad4, which still has Safari on in its iCloud Settings. Indeed, I can still see the Tabs of both Mac and iPhone4 on my iPad4 Safari.
Then I turn on again Safari in the iCloud Settings of my Mini. Guess what happens now? I now see from my Mac and my iPhone the Tabs on the Mini, but the Tabs on the iPad4 are still no longer visible.
I think iCloud is either set up in a way that a single user can't have Safari Tabs from two different iPads, or in my particular case, for some weird reason, iCloud can't distinguish between the two devices and only detects one at a time.

When you create a new Profile you need to '''Set Up Sync''' in that new Profile.

Bookmark sync doesn't work

I use iCloud to sync bookmarks between Chrome on Windows and Safari on iPad. It had worked normally until I changed my apple ID (email address) about two weeks ago.
Then bookmarks won't sync. Safari always shows the last revision of bookmarks before apple id was changed.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling bookmark sync on windows, re-login to iCloud on iPad and many kinds of troubleshooting attempts, but it still doesn't go back to normal.
Could someone shed some light?

Try the following:
# Create a copy of that file
# Change the copied file type to HTML
# If that doesn't work, change it to JSON
Please upload the file somewhere if the above doesn't work and I will see what I can do with it.

Safari for Mavericks doesn't work since upgrade.

Since I did an 'all upgrade' mid-June 2014, Safari is too annoying to use. It just gives me the Top Site pages every time I open, won't load my web archive pages or anything else. (It will load a site if I've closed it as a 'faorced quit and reopened - and then can sometimes get it to do an 'open in new tab' from the reading list only if online, otherwise only does 'top sites'. It All started when I realised it wasn't letting me see any of my downloaded reading lists (watched the download progress so know it did that). I've tried changing all sorts of things (just about everything once then checking ou and in again includng clearing cache etc. in preferences but basically it doesn't accept anything and just defaults back no matter what!
Gave up and using Firefox for this but would much prefer to use Safari if it will only work as it used to - maybe that alway meant it Never let me access reading list offline?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

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!
~ErickP

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

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

Itunes Sync doesn't work with iOS 8.0.2

Hello,
after updating to iOS 8.0.2 on an iphone 5S the itunes syncing with an USB cable doesn't work anymore. A message is listed to "authorize" this computer, but it is already authorized. The iPhone isn't listed in the devices list with this itunes account either.

Hi ..
Try this on one device to test.
Tap Settings > Safari then tap to clear History, Cookies, & Data then reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try writing a post in ASC discusions.

I try everything but the wifi sync doesn't work, please help...

Hello,
I tried:
Restore my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1)
Check router settings (tried default settings and reset also)
Check everything in iTunes
Connect to different wifi
Upgrade my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion (1.0.8.0)
....etc.
I have everything latest, I read almost everything about it, tried tweaks, but none of this doesn't work.
When I've got my iPhone connected to Mac through USB with wifi enabled, sync work well...
Everything worked fine all the time and from day to another it doesn't work anymore.
It's a pain in the ***, I have already lost my mind. Nothing work.
I appreciate any help from you guys, thank you very much
(sorry for english, I'm czech)

I probably do not understand your question. But try this, maybe this is what you want. Try iCloud on your iPhone.
Tap Settings App > Wi-Fi > turn it ON. Then go back to Settings and below General tap > iCloud. Make sure your account is there, turn ON what you like and then at bottom select Storage & Backup. Hopefully this will help you.
