ICloud tabs not refreshing promptly

iCloud tab synchronization is working for me, in general, but it's not staying up to date. iCloud tabs on my iPad show my Mac as having web pages open that I closed ten minutes ago. My mac shows the two open pages on my iPad, plus one that I closed 10 minutes, and not the one I just opened and hoped to then view on the Mac.
Is there any way to force iCloud to manually refresh tabs?

I gave my brother my old iPad. I reset it so it's like a new iPad. But, it is still in my iCloud tabs, not what he is doing, but the last thing i had open in Safari.

I gave my brother my old iPad. I reset it so it's like a new iPad. But, it is still in my iCloud tabs, not what he is doing, but the last thing i had open in Safari. When I went to iCloud.com and did the find my iPhone thing, it was still listed. But it couldn't find it. It's rather annoying to have it there all the time. How do I make it go away. I can't see a way to tell iCloud that that device is no longer mine.

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.

HT5372 Is iCloud tab not shared with Windows PCs with Mac or iOS operated devices?

Is iCloud tab not shared with Windows PCs with Mac or iOS operated devices?
I have iPad mini with iOS 8 and a PC with Windows 7 .
I'm trying to set up iCloud. and installed on both but can't see shared devices.

I think you have to use internet explorer to login to icloud.com on your windows pc to see the content.

ICloud Tabs not working on Mountain Lion ?

Hello,
I'm annoyed with a problem on my Mac mini, iCloud Tabs won't work on it. But the thing is that's working between
my two iDevices (iPhone, iPod) and not on my computer.
I've tried the following,
- Disable the iCloud account in all the devices and then log in again.
- Look for help in the Safari (on the Mac) preferences.
( Private browsing is disabled)
Can anyone solve this problem,
Thanks

Has anyone found a solution?
It´s now 2013 & Apple have still not rectified this!
I also see all iCloud Tabs on my iOS devices, but not on my Mac Mini (All have latest updates / Mountain Lion & iOS 6 etc.).
This function was highly promoted by Apple, & if it doe´snt work - Its a Rip off & Apple should either fix it, or apologise!
I don´t know a single person who can see their iOS Tabs on a MAC of ANY kind!!!

ICloud tabs not working in safari

They show up in Safari on my iOS devices (two ipads and iphone) and my iMac at home. But they don't on my work Macbook Air. When I click on the iCloud tabs icon it a popup box comes up with the icloud logo and the message : icloud automatically shows all the open tabs on your other devices.
iCloud is on on the macbook air, and Safari is chosen in the list.

Voila!! It worked!
Don't know why I didn't think to do that before. <slaps forehead>
If we could think of every possible scenario and fix on our own, there would be no need for a support forum.
I had a minor panic a few days ago, when my lock sounds were no longer working on my iPad. I knew that I had not changed anything at all in the settings. I rebooted my iPad twice, I played around with the volume, I checked system sounds... I was stumped. I just couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Even though I knew that I hadn't changed anything in the settings, I decided to finally go back and check anyway. Sure enough, I had Lock Sounds turned off in the Sound Settings. I have no clue how it happened, but it was turned off.
I had my own "slaps forehead" that morning and thought to myself, why didn't I just check that to begin with?
I am happy to hear that you got the situation resolved.

ICloud tabs not showing on mac

Hi,
My iCloud tab's in Safari appear to only work in one direction.
Both my iPad and iPhone have visibility on all tabs open across the 3 devices while my MacBook does not.
I've added the iCloud button to the toolbar in the hopes something this simple would solve the issue, but that didn't work.
If I click the icon it tells me about the service rather than showing me any tabs.
I've also looking in the tabs area itself, but this only shows tabs open on my Mac.
I've also checked to ensure that iCloud is setup under system preferences.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Devices:
MacBook Pro Retina with Yosemite v10.10
iPhone 5S with IOS 8.1
iPad mini Retina with IOS 8.1

ICloud tabs not working

Yes I've tried the troubleshooting for iCloud tabs, why won't Apple just develop a fix?
I can see my tabs from my iPad on my iPhone, but not vice versa, what a joke

Has nothing to do with Apple. It will be seen as soon as corrupted software of your phone restored as new.

ICloud tabs not working / syncing

I have an iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Both now run iOS 6. iCloud tabs are not working on either device (I just see the cloud icon). I did work throu the troubleshooting (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372) but no joy. Anyone see this..?

I have an iPhone 4S and an ipad3, both updated to iOS 6. The icloud tab on the ipad doesn't show anything. The icloud bookmarks on the iPhone are showing open tabs from my ipad, but funny thing is...those tabs are no longer open. I've turned off icloud on both devices repeatedly, turned off and on both devices as directed in troubleshooting...still have same result. Very little info on this issue. Spent WAY too much time trying every conceivable solution. Only thing I haven't tried is a total reset of the ipad. I'm trying to be patient and see if there is something simple I'm missing. HELP!

ICloud tab not showing open tabs

When I click iCloud tab in safari, it does not show open tabs on browser on pc. My pc browser is IE

Hello vera75,
Take a look at the requirements for icloud tabs outlined here iCloud: Using and troubleshooting iCloud Tabs http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5372.
System requirements for using iCloud Tabs
Make sure that:
Your Macs have OS X Mountain Lion and Safari 6 installed
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch has iOS 6 installed
Keep in mind that while iCloud Tabs is only available for Macs with OS X Mountain Lion installed, and devices with iOS 6, you can still use normal iCloud Bookmarks to sync saved Bookmarks and Reading List content between any devices that meet the iCloud system requirements.
All the best,
Sterling

ICloud tab not working

The new iCloud tab feature in Safari doesn't seem to be working. I have tabs open in Safari on my other devices, but it's not showing up. I just keep getting this image.

I think that function requires iOS 6 on the other end. iOS 6 comes out later this year.

ICloud tabs not working on iPad

I am unable to get the iClouds tabs in Safari to work between my iPad and iPhone. I've tried the suggested fixes that I can find and it appears it's set up correctly I have restarted both my iPhone and the iPad and I've turned off iCloud for Safari in settings>iCloud and turned it back on.
I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad 4.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have discovered that my iPad 4 is somehow not storing the Safari pages to iCloud. My iPad 2 sees the pages on my iPhone 5s and vice versa. It is obviously something with my iPad 4.

ICloud Tabs Not Syncing

I have tried to use iCloud tabs on two iOS devices, and tabs failed to sync. I have followed the support article for this, and no success. AppleCare couldn't help too well either.

Try upgrading your Mac to the newest version of OS X Mavericks, and try upgrading your iPhone and iPad to the newest version of iOS 7.
OS X Mavericks may not be in the Mac App Store by now, but you can find the newest version of Mavericks here at download.com: http://download.cnet.com/Apple-Mac-OS-X-Mavericks/3000-18513_4-76018588.html. Note: Download.com it a safe website to download free software.

My iCloud tabs not working in Safari on my iPad.

My iCloud tabs are missing in Safari on my iPad since my problems with the App Store yesterday.
Private Browsing is OFF on all of my devices.
I've quit Safari from the task bar.
I've turned Safari on/off in Settings>iCloud and rebooted.
I've repeated the above about 5 times.
My iPod can see my iPad tabs in the iCloud tabs in Safari but not vice versa. What gives?
