ICloud safari tabs on multiple devices

I've used iCloud tabs on Safari succesfully when I had and iMac and and iPhone. Now I am the lucky proud owner of of and iPad too.
On my Mac I can see iCloud tabs for my iPhone.
On the iPad I can see tabs for my iMac
On the iPhone I can see tabs for my iMac
This is such a useful function when working between different devices but is there any way of seeing the tabs open on both of the other two devices. I can't see any way of switching or viewing both.
I've just upgraded to Mavericks to see if that would help, but it's still the same.
I've been through the troubleshooting and turned off the safari settings for the devices and restarted them but still no joy.
Any suggestions anyone?

Hi Angela,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iCloud Tabs are not consistent between your Mac and your devices, I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article:

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.

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.

No ability to see open Safari tabs in other devices on iPhone 4s

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.0.2. I have set up iCloud on all my devices and it works to sync mail, calendar, contacts on all devices (iMac, iPad & iPhone). What I can't see on my iPhone are the open Safari tabs in my other devices. I can see open tabs in other devices (inlcuding the iPhone) on both my iPad and iMac.

Currently There is only one option to watch 1080P movies from iTunes on your Apple devices... With a sync with a laptop.. Apple by default sends the 720P file... Users have no option to control video download... Some like me want the full file... Some uses may think the 720P file is fine... However I see the difference... And it is big.. The iPhone has a 1080P camera... So it can play and store a 1080P file... And the screen does display a better image... Just watching a iTunes movie and shooting a video in 1080P on your iPhone and you can see the image is better.. YES it's 1080P... not 720... Apple has know from release of iPhone 5 on September 21,2012 iPhone can play 1080P file... However the system is overloaded as I seen on my Apple T.V. On Christmas say ready to pay is 8 hours 22 minutes... I pay for 50MBps download and 5MBps download.. fastest I can get in my area... It's obvious it will load Apple's network and the don't want to make the changes... Users now wanting 1080p files for iPhones/iPads.... The system load would jump off the scale... I contacted Apple told them the issues, currently they have stopped emailing me replies on the issue after issue was escalated to Apple engineers... Apple knows... Yet...
I want control of what file I download into my device over Wi-Fi... Apple has missed the ball for over two years... Missed it rolling down the hall... Missed it bouncing down the stairs.... Missed it as it rolled across the street and is still going with no fix yet....

Syncing safari tabs across multiple macs

I have a Mac Mini as my primary mac and a MBA as my "leisure" Mac. I thought with syncing that all my Safari tabs would be the same in both, like is done well with Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. However, I've just changed my Mini Safari tabs, and I went to my MBA expecting to see the same framework, and it has not updated. What do I need to do to sync across multiple macs?

The tabs are not synced, just the bookmarks. Tabs are not data or content, just a window frame for different URLs.

Rogue iCloud Safari tab from friend's pc stuck on my iPhone

I installed iOS7.1 from a friend's pc and then restored from my iCloud backup, but a safari tab is somehow on my phone with her name on it, there is a picture of a cloud and then 'Suzanne's iPhone' above the rogue safari tab. How do I delete it? If I switch off Safari in my iCloud (on the phone) then this Safari tab disappears, but as soon as I toggle Safari on again the tab comes back. How do I delete it from my iCloud backup?

Movable Safari Tabs on iOS Devices

While using my iPhone today I realized that there does not seem to be a way to move the position of tabs within safari.
I had 6 tabs open, and just based off of intuition, I tried to move a tab's location by pressing/holding onto one thinking that it would eventually shake and become movable. I was surprised to see that nothing happened and that there did not seem to be any way to rearrange tabs in safari on an iPhone (and I would assume iPad as well, but I cannot test that until later tonight).
What do you guys think about the possibility of adding the functionality to press/hold onto a tab in safari to have it shake and become movable. I think it follows the "you already know how to use it before you use it" mentality and would would be used by many users, especially if this functionality is not already on the iPad.

tl:dr - Make safari tabs movable like apps on iOS devices.
Any thoughts?

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

How do I use iCloud if I have multiple devices using one computer/library, but I don't want contacts, calender, etc. to be shared? Can each device have it's own Apple ID and still pull music, apps, etc. from one library?

Both my mother, father, and I recently got iPhones. We've all had iPods in the past and been able to survive under a single Apple ID/iCloud account. Now that we all have iPhones, we've heard a couple horror stories about parents and kids contacts and calenders merging when they are registered under the same Apple ID. What steps should we take to avoid this problem? We would still like to be able to share the same music, apps, videos, etc. If we all get individual Apple IDs, can we still all use the same iTunes library we have on our computer without any pitfalls?
Thank you! A response would be much appreciated(:

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

Mistake in Italian iCloud Safari Tab

Hi, I find a mistake in the translation of the Italian iCloud Tab on Safari, as you can see in the screenshot.
It doesn't make any sense "iCloud mostra automaticamente tutte apri i pannelli su altri dispositivi".
I really don't know what Apple want to say, probably only "iCloud mostra automaticamente tutti i pannelli aperti su altri dispositivi", but I'm not too sure
Do you know how to tell to Apple this problem, if they haven't discovered it yet=

Can you have one icloud storage plan for multiple devices

hi,
i'm wondering if there is a way of consolidation various icloud storage plans into one.
i only use my free 5gb for my 5s as i back up photos to my mac, however my wife has already upgraded her storage plan for her 5c to the £1/month.
with the new release of backing up your entire photo library on you mac (which im keen to do) im going to need to upgrade my own account as the mac is set up for my apple id.
i currently also pay for itunes match.
im keen to know if there is a way we can use one large back up facility for: my 5s, the mrs's 5c, the mac, with out paying for multiple storage plans.
im guessing the itunes match is stand alone but if i can have one payment for large storage and put everything there that would be ideal, and seem a reasonable request for most families.
any help greatly appreciated
thanks
Scott

Getting iCloud to work on multiple devices

I have an iPhone 4, an iPad version 5.0.1, a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 and an iMac 8,1 running 10.5.8. I'd like to get iCloud working so I have one instance of iTunes for all my devices and so I can back all my devices up with iCloud.
I know I have to upgrade my iMac's OSX. I'm worried that the upgrade will fill my hard drive and memory to capacity and affect performance. I'm also unsure if I have to upgrade to Lion first then to Mountain Lion and if so do I have to pay for both upgrades?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Neither of your Macs will run iCloud without being updated. Macs can't be backed up to iCloud. ICloud has nothing to do with iTunes. I think you might be looking for iTunes Match

Multiple ICLOUD Email addresses for multiple devices.......HELP

In our family we have an IPOD, IPHONE, IPAD, and another IPOD Touch. How do I setup additional emails under my main ICLOUD email address? I have created several but it won't allow me to link it to the mail ICLOUD account. I want each device to have their own icloud email but still be able to access all of my content.

Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account. You can create up to 3 alias addresses within the account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox.
If you want each person to have their own email account (inbox), and still be able to access the other iCloud data in your main account, you would need to create "secondary" iCloud accounts on each person's device. You can do this by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different Apple ID. Secondary accounts can be used for Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders. If you only want to add a new mail account, you can just turn Mail to On in the secondary account. The only drawback to this approach is that secondary iCloud email accounts only support fetch email, not push. Push mail is only supported in the primary account.

HT5372 Do icloud tabs delete if I'm still using the device but my icloud sees it as another device?

Help, please. When I updated my iphone 5 to ios 7, my icloud safari tabs for my old device now show up as if it were a separate device. While this might seem like a small thing, I find it very annoying. Based on the article I read, safari tabs delete themselves after 7 days if you're not using the device anymore. Since I'm still using the device, will this happen? Not happen? Advice, please.

I think this happened to me. what did it say as your separate device when you updated? Mine said "Apple's Iphone" Thought this was odd.
