ICloud tabs on devices

How do I stop a device showing up in my iCloud tabs on other devices?
I set up an iPad with a new apple ID but the open safari windows still show up on my devices under iCloud tabs.
I don't want them to.

If the iCloud account on the iPad is using a different Apple ID, the iCloud tabs shouldn't display it.  However, if it was previously using the same ID and you didn't close all the Safari tabs on the device prior to changing IDs, it may continue to appear for up to 7 days, after which it should be automatically removed.

  • HT5372 iCloud tabs open all tabs from another device in 1 session

    Can i open the icloud tabs on my ipad as a folder on safari mac rather than open them one by one into individual tabs?

    Thanks, Julian,
    Sorry, but I think you misunderstood.  I'm aware that I need to have iOS 6 on my iPhone or iPad to view iCloud Tabs. 
    I think I should have been more clear.  The issue I am having is that I am not able to view the iCloud Tabs on my iMac and Macbook Pro. 
    For example, if I am viewing a website on my iPhone, with Moutain Lion I should be able to pick up where I left off on my iMac or Macbook Pro by clicking on the iCloud Tab Button in Safari, as demonstrated.  When I click on the iCloud Tab Button, the Cloud is blank.  I just get the generic statement "iCloud automatically shows all the open tabs on all your devices."
    My Apple ID is the same on my iPhone, iPad, iMac and Macbook Pro.  I can't understand why this feature doesn't work as advertised.  I have also followed all the troubleshooting steps in Support. 
    Again, thank you for your help.

  • Is there a way to sync your iCloud tabs between my Mac and iOS devices, but without syncing my bookmarks?

    I sync my bookmarks between my iPad (3rd gen) and my iPhone 5, but I don't want them to sync with my Mac's because many of the bookmarks I have on my iOS devices are websites designed for mobile devices, or at least they're not the desktop version of them. That just makes it simple for my iOS devices. On my Mac however, I have many websites I don't need or want on my iPhone such as foursquare, Nike+, and PayPal because I already have the apps on my iPhone and iPad. But one thing I realized was that on the Mac, if you want to use iCloud in Safari, there is no option to not sync bookmarks and just use the iCloud tabs, not that I know of anyway. I was hoping there was a way to solve that, one that I might not have seen or thought of yet?

    I think that cloud privacy concerns are overdone - especially with Apple who don't have a vested interest in snooping through your data like Google does!
    Do you use email?  It's stored in the cloud on the providers servers - no matter who the provider is.
    Do you use SMS on a phone?  They're stored on a server somewhere!
    Do you use the internet?  The logs are stored at your ISP for some period of time - tracking everywhere you've been.
    Thats why I am comfortable to use iCloud for most of my documents.  If I want to transfer files very securely, I put them in an encrypted disk image on Dropbox.

  • Is there a time limit for iCloud tabs from shut down devices?

    Hi,
    I have had some tabs left open on my (shut down) office iMac that I wanted to check during holidays by using iCloud tabs. It all went fine the first week, but some days later all tabs from that iMac had disappeared. Back in office once I opened Safari the tabs showed up again as iCloud tabs on my mobile devices.
    Is there a sort of time limit for tabs to stay in iCloud after having shut down the Mac from which they originate? Can I turn of this feature if I don’t want it?
    Regards,
    Tom

    Anyone? OK, I imagine most people don’t shut down their Mac for more then one week or so or they don’t want to check out work related links opened at office during holidays... Or does this just happen to me?

  • HT5372 Closing iCloud tab from another iOS Device

    I have an iCloud tab open on a device that I wiped out and sold. The website is showing up in the cloud on my other devices. How can I close this?

    Quote (last sentence http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372): "If you no longer have access to the device that that you used to browse that tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 7 days, if not updated."

  • 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.

  • HT5372 I have 3 iCloud tabs that are not from my current devices

    I am currently using 1 iphone and i ipad.
    Therefore, I should have only one icloud tab for my iphone and ipad respectively.
    However, I can see 2 more icloud tab from 2iphones of my name.
    I think this is due to something about back-up. Cos I lost my iphone, deleted it from 'find my iphone' but got my phone back from the bus driver who kept it
    kindly for me.
    Anyways, I tried backing up my phone from itunes. there were many version of back-up so i tries 2 or 3times to get it right.
    Now I have 3 iclud tabs... for my phone and pad.
    Can anyone help me with deleting icloud tabs that is from my old iphone?

    Thanks for your reply.
    As I stated I have three accounts.
    I started back in the day with a .mac account. Then apple change this to a .me account. Now I have two. Then came icloud and now I have three. They were and are all appleID's, mail accounts etc.
    When you say just restore your iClown backup to the device is this an easy do as I cannot find a pathway to that solution. I have been trying. Can you point me in that Direction.
    As far as my iDisk data goes, I downloaded it and it was corrupt. When I discovered this apple had already deleted the information. I should have been more specific on that one.

  • ICloud tabs showing same device twice after restore

    I did a restore of my iPhone in order to start from scratch, so to speak, and now that it's done, on all my devices with iCloud enabled, I'm seeing my phone twice in Safari's iCloud tabs (see photo here).  Is there anyway to reset this or get rid of the previous version of my phone?

    You want to turn it off and see if that works. Personally I see multiple complains here with Safari bookmarks and recommend Google Chrome browser. That way as long as you login - you have access to your tabs, bookmarks everywhere.

  • Can't access icloud tabs on some devices

    Hello,
    I own 2 macs, an iPhone, an ipad air, and an ipad mini.  I am the only user on all the devices, and I am using the same iTunes account.  When I try to access icloud tabs on any device, I can see all my devices except the iPads.  To clarify, when I access iCloud tabs on my iPhone, I can only see either my Air's tabs or my Mini's tabs, but never both at the same time.  Meanwhile, I am still able to see the two macs.  When I access iCloud tabs on my Air, I cannot ever see the tabs from my mini, but I can still see tabs from all the other devices.  The same is true of the Mini not seeing the Air's tab.  When I try to access iCloud tabs on either Mac, I again can on my see one or the other iPad, but never at the same time.  Sorry if that was confusing, but basically, it is like the Air and the Mini are being treated as the same device or something along those lines.  I just want to be able to see all my tabs at once.  I appreciate any help!
    Warm regards,

  • HT5372 icloud tabs do not show websites from my iOS device

    One of the features of Mountain Lion I found of interest is iCloud Tabs.  After installing Mountain Lion, I am unable to view the websites that I am currently browning on my iOS Device (iPhone) and continue on my iMac. 
    I have checked all the settings and went through the troubleshooting steps and I am still unsuccessful. 
    How can I get this to work?  Is anyone else having similar issues?

  • HT5372 iCloud Tabs from an old device

    I gave away an iPod touch, but that despite being reset as a new device) still appears in my iCloud Tabs.  How do I remove that from iCloud Tabs?

    Why not?  What happens when trying to play the content?
    Is the device signed in with the same account the media was purchased with?

  • Use iCloud tabs without saving tabs on device

    I have 4 iPads, 2 iPhones, and a MacBook all on the same iCloud account. This is a great feature to connect them all except for iCloud tabs. I feel like maybe I'm missing the options I'm looking for or maybe (hopefully not) they don't exist. 2 of my iPads are my kids and safari is disabled but all other devices use safari and iCloud tabs to keep everything in sync.  The issue I am running into is that I like having access to iCloud tabs on my MacBook and one of the iPhones but I don't want to sync FROM those two devices. Is it possible to be able to use iCloud tabs on MacBook and phone to see tabs on the other 3 devices it syncs with but without saving and syncing from MacBook and iPhone? Right now the phone is set to private browsing with iCloud tabs turned on but that method really is a pain cause I can't look back in history if I need to return to a page. Is there any other work around? I still want to see iCloud tabs on all five devices I just don't want tabs from the phone or MacBook showing on the other devices as well. Also is there anyway even third party app to sync the history in safari between devices? Thanks in advance!

    I understand that and like I said my kids ipads are on there but they are blocked. But one iphone and one ipad I use for work but the other ipad and Iphone are personal and that is what im trying to seperate. I dont mind have business tabs on my personal devices and actually like being able to access those but I dont want personal device tabs showing on the business devices. I dont know if that makes sense and sorry if it doesnt I just want to IF POSSIBLE seperate them so that should a coworker use my business phone or ipad which they do sometimes and I dont mind but I dont want them pulling open tabs and seeing whatever ive looked at when at home.

  • No iCloud Tabs from my Mac shown on my mobile devices

    I have a MacBook Pro, an iPhone 4 and an iPad Gen. 3. All running the latest OS / iOS.
    For some reasons, my iCloud tabs on my mac aren't showing on my iPad and iPhone.
    You know that you should have a break down showing those are the tabs from iPad, and then others from the iPhone? I got both of then on my Mac, but iPad only on my iPhone, and iPhone only on my Mac. I couldn't figure out how I can have my tabs from Mac sent to the iCloud.
    If anyone can provide a clue, I would really appreciate it.
    Best Regards,
    Nan

    I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
    Thanks

  • There is an iCloud tab of a device that doesn't exist?

    On my iPad and iPhone, there is a different name iPhone. That was my iPhone name before I restored it, and I kept iCloud on it. Than I restored figuring it would wipe itself from iCloud, it's iCloud tab is on my email. It really bugs me.it just stays there. Would changing the name of my phone to that one wipe it?

    Changing the name of my iPhone to my old one didn't work. It was my phone name before restoration.
