IOS7 bookmarks and reading list won't delete
After update I cannot delete any bookmarks or reading list items. I swipe left and get the DELETE button, but nothing happens. The bookmark in the edit mode will return with no change, the reading list item is similar. No new reading list items can be added. I am on IOS 7.0.4
I've tried a hard restart, no change.
I used the following fix and it worked as described - basically you need to replace the file "bookmarks.db" with a clean, empty file.

Hi,
I upgraded to OS 10.9 Mavericks today. Everything seems fine thus far, except for Safari's bookmarks and reading list. Bizarrely, ONE of my old bookmarks was left on the bookmarks bar, while all other bookmarks (except those pre-loaded by Apple) and the entire reading list are wiped.
I'm aware of the path for finding the plist (~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist) — however: Time Machine won't let me go back to before the OS X upgrade. The windows all backups before the upgrade are completely black. As far as I can tell, this goes for all files, not just those in the Library.
My browsing history was preserved. Also, I head iCloud enabled for Safari.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions?While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.

I cannot get my bookmarks and reading lists to sync over my devices. I've checked the iCloud settings on both devices and still nothing. Using a retina iPad and a new mac book pro
Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID) -
Safari 7 Bookmarks and Read List Not Synching with iCloud
Safari does not synch bookmarks or reading list with iCloud. Cloud tabs does work. Everything else works.
When I turn the sync setting on/off in iCloud (control panel) it asks me if I want to merge and I say yes each time. No change. I can add bookmarks normally.
I did the checklist Apple suggests - and made sure I was linked to teh right account, have internet access, ect... The only thing I can not confirm is port numbers - but this machine is at work, next to my other iMac that is working perfectly (on Mavs too)
So far I've done each of these 2-5 times each:
Restarted
Reset all in Safari Pref
Cleared all extensions
Unlinked my iCloud account in Control Panel>iCloud - Safari
Unlinked the entire account and deleted everything (3 times)
Deleted all traces of Safari; library, plsit, etc. (except the program - not allowed)
re-linked to Keychain (3 times)
Out of ideas
Any suggestions appreciated
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks in advanceHaving the same problem as you David, I've just about gone nuts trying to solve it but Bookmarks and Reading Lists are not syncing across my iPad Mini, iPhone and Mac. When I've dug into the console files on my Mac it's reporting that the SafariDAVClient is crashing like a fiend, seems to be trying to access a file that either doesn't exist or was moved o_O
Anyone have any ideas? I've also resorted to Apple's recommendations as well as to solutions posted around the forums, with no luck whatsoever. I've even edited and purged my bookmarks down to only the stuff I really think I should keep. Also tried to keep it empty and adding a fresh new bookmark. Nada... -

Bookmarks and reading lists don't work after upgrading to ios6 on ipad
Your bookmarks file may be corrupt. Navigate to /[UserName]/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profile_name]. Either rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.corrupt (or whatever) in case this isn't the problem, or delete places.sqlite. Start/Restart Firefox. The icons for sites that have a favicon should return after you visit each site.

How can I recover bookmarks and reading list?
Firefox crashed as soon as I tried to use it so I uninstalled it and installed it back again, but all the bookmarks and pages on my Reading List are gone. Is there a way to get them back?
Hello,
Sorry to hear that you lost what you wanted to keep a track of. Did you have Firefox sync on? With that you can be able to restore your bookmarks but apart from that it's impossible to my knowledge that you'll be able to restore deleted bookmarks. -
Bookmarks and reading list problems
Since the iOS7 upgrade, I've been unable to save bookmarks or add to the reading list. The problem seems localized to my iPad, as Safari functions normally on other devices. Suggestions for a fix would be appreciated.
If you see a black bar at the top, Private Browsing is enabled. You have to turn it off.

Anybody know if Apple have stopped this happening?
Open the iCloud Panel on your PC. Deselect the box next to Booksmarks then reselect it.
On your iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Safari off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data. -
I just updated my iMac 27inch Mid 2011 to Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a Macbook Pro that I primarily use for everyday stuff. I upgraded to Yosemite a while ago on my macbook. Now that I upgraded my iMac, it transferred everything saved in Safari on my macbook pro to my iMac. My favorites, history, bookmarks, and reading list were copied over. This is driving me nuts! I had a separate set of data saved on the iMac because I use it for different purposes. All of the original bookmarks, favorites, history, etc. on my iMac are now gone. I logged out of iCloud (which was a feature I did not enjoy when upgrading to Yosemite) yet all of the safari data from my laptop is still cloned onto my iMac. Please tell me there is a way to undo this or refresh safari pre-Yosemite update!
Thank you!Then there's no way to recover the lost data. You will lose every bit of data you have if you don't start backing up.

Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!
Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated! -
Since updating to latest iOS safari fails several times a day.
1. Just quits.
2. The items on the reading list will not delete after visited.
3. The screens goes grey when I go to email a reference.
Is the a solution other the restarting the iPad or is this something apple ought to fix?See if the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
1.My device is iPad mini with retina display and O.S.No. 7.1.2.
2.When I open Safari web page,The Favourites and Reading list disappeared.
Kindly,Suggest what Settings, I have to adjust in the settings.Try this for starters. Close Safari and reset the iPad. See if the Favorites and Reading list reappear.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
When I follow the directions about deleting bookmarks by clicking on the bookmark, then clicking on the blue star and then clicking on delete bookmark, it will work with some but not all my bookmarks. I have noticed that the ones that won't work appear to be marked in unsorted bookmarks rather than bookmarks menu.
I have tried many different ways to delete these bookmarks but nothing works. Some of these bookmarked pages need to be signed in and I no longer have a way to sign in or want to sign in.
I just want to delete the bookmark. Please help.This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

From profile backup: Restoring bookmarks, most visited pages and reading list
Using the firefox mobile extension "Copy Profile" I have saved a copy of my profile to the sd card. Now I would like to restore selectively:
- bookmarks
- history
- reading mode saved pages
- most visited pages
While restoring the relevant files (using root access on android) helped, I am suffering from these probems:
- The order of the bookmarks is mixed up: I had ordered them with the desktop app. Where is this order stored?
- The "most visited pages" appears to be a random selection from the history.
Any ideas?Solution was to copy the files mentioned here:
[[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
And here:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/950536 Extracting bookmarks from Android mozilla profile backup]
Important:
The file ownership of all files copied back into the profile directory have to be adjusted. On my machine they defaulted to "root" owner which prevented firefox from accessing them. -
Clearing bookmarks or reading lists
How do I clear my reading lists/bookmarks saved for later reading? I'm done reading them so how can I clear them? Do I have to do this from my MacBook Pro?
Tap on the bookmarks icon to open the menu. You can swipe across each item in the list to bring up a red Delete button - tap the button to delete the bookmark. It works the same way in the Reading list.
You can also tap on the edit button in the upper right corner of the bookmarks menu and tap the red vertical lines on the left side of the bookmarks.
