IPhone reading list/bookmarks gone

My iPhone reading list and bookmarks have vanished. I know there is no way I could have deleted them myself. Yet everything else on my iPhone is there: apps, photos, everything else that is backed up to iCloud. Is there an isolated iCloud issue/outage going on? Should I try restoring from my last iPhone backup? I have no idea what is going on. I'd appreciate any help anyone could give me.

It happened once or twice and hasn't happened since.  Sometimes when an iphone screws up, like any computer, things need to be turned off and back on.  What I do with my phone sometimes is reboot the phone by doing the following.  That resets everything and is handy to know.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears then let both buttons go and wait for the phone to restart.

  • Syncing iPad/iPhone Reading List Problem

    iPad 3 - 16GB iOS 8.2
    iPone 4 - iOS 7.1.2
    iCloud - 3.1GB available
    2 issues:
         1. Reading list is not being synced between devices. If a bookmark is added to the reading list in the iPad, it does not sync to the iPhone (vice versa).
         2. Adding bookmarks to the reading lists on both devices takes a long time. If I add a bookmark, I then have to wait at least 30 mins before adding another. If I      try to add one sooner, I get the warning message: "Bookmarks are being synced. Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed."
    This is a new problem that has cropped up for me only in the last few months. Prior to this, reading list/bookmarks syncing was working fine.

    Hello eztyger,

  • I cannot get iCloud to sync my mac reading list (bookmarks).

    I cannot get iCloud to sync my mac reading list (bookmarks) with my iPad and have tried several times unsuccessfully. Have had it connected to a power source AND have enabled the documents section on the iCloud backup. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade to Lion?

    I have installed and signed in to sync on both PC and Android tablet. My history has been synced but bookmarks have not come across to the tablet, although the appropriate box is ticked on both.
    I tried entering about:sync-progress on both machines. "Setup Complete" appears on the PC but on the tablet I am told that the address isn't valid.
    The sync tab that opens up lists my "Firefox Account" with no option to manage or disconnect.
    How can I get round this?

  • Using the safari iphone reading list?

    Ok, the Reading List on Safari for the iPhone is pretty cool. But how do I get the articles off the iPhone to where I can use them more easily? I don't see them on my iCloud (Windows). Can I synch them with anything? (I know I can print them, but that's not what I had in mind).   I would love to get them on EverNote or something like that. Thanks!

    Found answer. After selecting a reading list page, what one sees after is unread pages in the list. Bottom right in the list is a button which says Show All. Toggle it and the pages you have read return to the list

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ICloud and reading list

    Hi There
    I've just installed iOS5 on my iPhone 4 without hitch, and have updated my OSX and everything is syncing perfectly across my computer and iPhone. However to quote the iOS5 webpage "Reading List lets you save interesting articles to peruse later, while iCloud keeps your list updated across all your devices"
    This just doesn't seem to be happening. I've added a list of things to read on my MBA and they are not showing up on my iPhone reading list.
    Is this something that is missing, or am I missing how to do this
    Many Thanks
    Paul

    Hi, can you only sync Reading list along with bookmarks?

    But i would like to sync the reading lists...
    Can you sync them seperatly?

  • How to delete an item under the 'glasses' icon in reading list?

    I cannot delete a webpage under the 'glasses' icon in the reading list of the Safari browser. It just says ' show unread' but does not delete it. There is no 'Edit' button in the reading list under the 'glasses' icon. There is no way I can delete that webpage. I erased the iphone but it did not work. The webpage is still in the reading list under the 'glasses' icon. What can i do? I want to delete it.

    Hey virginiefromfr,
    I found this on deleting items from your reading list:
    Delete something from your reading list:
    Swipe left on the item in your reading list.
    via: iPhone Reading list

  • Migrating Stickies content and Safari Reading List from Snow Leopard to Mavericks

    I am about to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks but am concerned about maintaining the integrity of two collections of important material: the contents of hundreds of Stickies notes, and the collection of Reading List bookmarks in Safari. I want to be able to access these items from the new versions in Mavericks. From what I've read, both sets of material should be portable, but I want to make sure that there will not be unforeseen problems and loss of this content. Are there any problems or issues people have encountered doing this, or any tricks or tips I should be aware of?

    Try making a test user account in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Then log out of your usual user account and try the test user account, and see if the website  will let you in.
    I suspect that the problem is an internet plugin that is not compatible with Mavericks. The old internet plugin will not be in the test user account.
    If the site lets you in with the test user account, then it's a process of trial and error to figure out which plugin is the culprit.
    The internet plugins are found in a few places.
    Most are in /Library/Internet Plugins
    Some may be in ~/Library/Internet Plugins
    ~/Library is hidden by default.

    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!

  • I am unable to add to my bookmarks and my reading list on my iPhone.

    I am unable to add to my bookmarks and my reading list on my iPhone 4S. I was able to perform these two functions yesterday. In addition my bookmarks have been deleted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Make a master list, preferably on iCloud.
    You should be able to move contacts around via iTunes.
    Just drop the vCards into the Address Book and wait for the sync to finish.

  • 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 advance

    Having 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...

  • Can no longer add / remove to bookmarks / reading list since ios 6 upgrade

    Hi all,
    I upgraded my ipod touch to ios 6 last night, and since the upgrade I can no longer add / remove bookmarks or add / remove items to the reading list in safari.
    Whenever I try I get the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    So far I've tried;
    A hard reset
    Turning off Safari in the icloud settings
    I still can't do anything with the bookmarks / reading list, I just don't get the 'Bookmarks are being synced' message
    Ensuring that push notifications are enabled for icloud
    I'm not sure what to try next.....
    When I disable Safari in the icloud settings, it asks me if I want to keep a copy of previously synched bookmarks on my ipod - So far I have as I don't want to lose them.
    I'm guessing the next step is to not keep a copy and hope ios wipes them - If I do this will the bookmarks still be available in icloud when I turn safari data back on?
    Cheers
    Macca

    I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
    Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
    1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
    2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
    3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
    5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
    6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
    7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
    8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
    Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

  • Safari Bookmarks/reading list and syncing

    Does anyone know how to sync safari bookmarks/reading list items between a macbook and iPhone 4S? I ensured that my iPhone setting is on (iCloud->safari   ->on) and I confirmed that my macbook settings are on (system preferences -> iCloud->on)

  • How to undo Safari copying bookmarks, history, favorites, and reading list from Macbook Pro to iMac after Yosemite update?

    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.
