ICloud Storm Rains on Safari

After adding a bookmark to Safari on my iPhone, Safari on my Mac mini and MBP came up with everything reset. I only want Safari bookmarks to sync between my iOS devices and my Macs, I don't want Safari to reset on the Macs when I add a bookmark to a mobile device. Does anyone know how to disable the reset feature?

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
stopped iCloud bookmark syncing
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

How can I setup an iCloud email counter in Safari?

Would anyone know if there is a way to set up an iCloud email counter in the Safari toolbar so that one can see a notification if an email arrives to my iCloud email account?
Or would you know if it is possible to add to iGoogle internet portal a "gadget" which would perform the same function. I am using such a gadget for my Hotmail and gmail accounts.

Hi Clay
Thank you for the response, It is appreciated. My Apple Mac OS is Lion 10.7.4. Am concerned upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8 as some perhaps some (or perhaps many?) of the applications I use on daily basis may not be ready yet? Should I not wait 3 or 4 months? When I upgraded to Lion I had issues with three if not four of the applications which were trying to catch up (Sonos, VLC etc.).
I will certainly look for Growl. Thanks again for the good support.

Can I use iCloud services on IOS safari?

When I try to access iCloud thriugh Safari on my IOS 5 mobile devices it show the welcome screen wih a little lock. iCloud is installed on both the iPad 2 and iPhone 4. I'm unable to get past this screen.

I'm not talking about Safari on my Mac. My iDevices don't seem to support iCloud services access. Since writing my question I found a reply to another thread that seems to indicate that iDevices don't support iCloud services from Safari. You have to use the appreate iDevice, such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar, etc...

ICloud web page says safari 6.0.2 "not supported"

Having updated Safari to 6.0.2 as advised, I've tried (repeatedly) to access iCloud. All I get is the message "your browser is not supported. To use iCloud we recommend updating to the latest version." That's been happening ever since updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 from Snow Leopard. Any ideas, please?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why can't I see the iCloud bookmark button in Safari 6?

This sounds like an excellent feature (and loads of people seem to have reviewed it favourably as a key feature of Mountain Lion/Safari 6 - and might just make me go back to Safari from Firefox - but where is it? Am I being really stupid? I can't even see it as an option in customise toolbar options. Or is it not actually coming until iOS 6?

See: Using iCloud tabs on your Mac > iCloud: Using and troubleshooting iCloud Tabs
Not stupid... it takes time to learn all the new updates features with Safari 6.

There is no Icloud tab on my safari

Im not sure if I have the right version, but right now I have Safari 6.0.1. On Apples website, there is a Icloud tab in the new version of safari, but I do not have that tab on my screen. Anyone know what I need to do?

On your safari tool bar right click then go to customize then drag the iCloud tabs icon to your toolbar.

Yosemite iCloud tabs missing in safari.

I understand the tabs are "supposed to be in the favorite underneath your websites." They aren't there. I haven't seen them since the yosemite update. I'm logged into iCloud and have safari turned on for both my iPhone and Mac. Still i have nothing i've even turned them off and on again. This Yosemite update has many problems and it is far from seamless like apple says so often. I've never spent so much time working in settings on my mac, I feel like I have a windows computer again.

I figured it out sorry If any one knows how to delete a post that would be my next question. The iCloud tabs by the way are found by sliding two fingers from the touch pad toward the center, Thanks.

HT201104 iCloud Drive access through Safari on iOS

This may seem like an obvious omission (at least in my mind), but I would have thought Safari on iOS would access the iCloud Drive when I choose to upload a file? Any reason why not?

If you are using iCabMobile Web Browser and you set Browser ID to Safari 5 (Mac), you will be able to access icloud.com

This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

Access iCloud web with iPad safari

I see this has already been asked but not answered. I have exactly the same issue. When I try to go to iCloud.com with my iPad expecting to sign on, I am asked to set up my already set up iPad? Help appreciated, IM

You cannot access http://icloud.com on an iOS device, and are not supposed to be able to. You use the apps built-in to the iPad (or downloaded from the AppStore) to access your iCloud data.

Saving MAC Safari bookmarks to iCloud

Hi.
I already researched in the iCloud help in icloud.com and I believe you can store your Safari bookmarks on iCloud. But since I now have hundreds of bookmarks, this is critical to me. I'd just like to double check how the bookmarks are retrieved in case I loose my data or my MAC.
The Help item "Documents / Overview" says "iCloud also keeps your Safari bookmarks, Reading List, and iCloud Tabs list up to date on your iOS 6 devices and your Mac with OS X v10.8 or later."
Would you know how it works to retrieve the bookmarks if I loose my MAC data?
1) I don't have iPhone, iPad or iPod. Will I have to buy another Apple device to retrieve the bookmarks or can I access them simply logging in to icloud.com with any computer in the world?
2) In case I get a new MAC, the moment I log in with my Apple ID and open Safari it will automatically retrieve my bookmars, reading list...?
regards

Hi Antonio,
The bookmarks citation above references the automatic "push" of new bookmarks in Safari to all your devices. So, iCloud, in essence, keeps them all in sync. It does not provide a recoverable backup for them, however. Here the link to the iCloud support page which has all of the information about what iCloud will and won't do:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
Hope this clears it up!
Cheers,

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.

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?

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.
