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.
Cheers,
Rodney

  • How do I make iCloud work between my Mac and my iPhone as suggested in the video's on Apple's website ?

    I'm trying to share a set of Numbers projects between my MacBook and my iPhone.
    I notice that iWork.com does NOT do what I am expecting from the Apple Video's : it only allows me to consult documents through Safari, but not to open one directly from iCloud.com in the appropriate app for editing ...
    Through file sharing in iTunes it seems to work for one of the projects ... but another project which has multiple tabs and rather long tables doesn't open on my iPhone due to "unknown error" ...
    Even then, the iTunes file sharing process can hardly be called seemless, and in no way even approaches what is suggested in the video's :
    The video's suggest that when working on a file on one device, then picking up another device the file will show the changes ...
    In reality here's what I have to do to make a change on the file on my Mac, share it with the iPhone, then change something on the iPhone and share it back with my Mac :
    1. save the changes to the document
    2. add the document to iTunes file sharing
    3. sync my iPhone
    4. open Numbers on my iPhone
    5. add the document from iTunes
    6. open it
    7. make a change
    8. sync the iPhone
    9. choose "save as ..." in iTunes to overwrite the copy on my Mac
    10. open the document in Numbers on the Mac
    Guess what ... when making a new change, I have to go back in iTunes, delete the link to the document and add the document again in order to be able to share the change ...
    I would expect the syncing with iTunes to at least take care of the file updating on the respective copies on Mac and iOS device ... apparently not so.
    Anyone knows how to really make Documents In The Cloud work ?

    Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
    and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
    What am I doing wrong ?

    Recently I have developed my first MAF app. This app is with basic design with some page re-directions, no web services/java script is used but when I start app first time then there is a long white gap after splash screen till loading application home page. Is there any way to eliminate this gap?

  • Is there a way to see Google Talk conversations in iMessage on my iOS device

    My Apple ID and Phone # conversations are showing up great on my Mac, Phone and IPad but on my Desktop I also have Google Talk contacts in iMessage. Those only show up on my Mac. Is there a way for those conversations to also show up on my iPhone and iPad?

    Well, blerg!
    Thanks anyway.
    I haven't thought it all out, but I assume there is some issue with data usage when outside of wifi or something. Possibly it's that iMessages are suppose to be encrypted and that can't always be the case if the pathway is Google Talk for certain conversations?
    Otherwise it would make sense to handle it the same way Messages on the desktop does.

  • How can I get iCloud to use the same Apple ID on my Mac and iOS devices

    I have an Apple ID that syncs between my iPhone and iPad. The Apple ID on my Mac is different and I cannot change it so it uses the same Apple ID and iCloud account.

    Sign out of the Apple ID on your Mac and sign in to the one you want to use. Go to System Preferences>iCloud>Sign Out
    Then sign in to the Apple ID you use with your iPhone and iPad.

  • Mail with iCloud: using PUSH on all MAc and IOS devices, mail messages do not arrive in all devices automatically. Same settings on all devices.

    Incoming messages comes into INBOX folder only in 1 IOS ( iPhone ) device and not in other  devices  ( iPad and iMac ).
    Clicking on mail folder, messages are downloaded as in manual mode.
    Why messages are not pushed at same time in all devices ( mac + IOS devices ) ?
    Thanks for support me, hoping to be of help to who will have this problem worldwide.

    While trying to find a solution, I am discovering my mail problem is much deeper than just messages not appearing in the "Sent" mailbox.  I have found some of them appearing in the "Trash" mailbox and some appearing there mulitple times, often with my account name in the "TO" field.  I'm also finding some unread mail there that should be in the "Junk" mailbox.  So it would appear there are many problems with ISO 7 and mail.  I have tried deleting and restablishing the account and two complete iPhone restores.  Neither helped. What is the biggest puzzle is that on my second iPhone, the one that upgraded without an error, mail is working perfectly well.  Has anyone found a solution to any mail problems on ISO 7 devices?  If so, please reply.  

  • Sync doesn't work between my mac and android

    Hi,
    I'm using FF 30 on both my mac and android. I had everything working fine on earlier versions of FF, but as I had to change my phone, I reinstalled FF, upgrading to FF30 in the process. Now I want to get my bookmarks etc back on the phone, so I set up an account on the android, connected to it, and connected to it with my mac as well. All the sync options seem to be checked correctly, I get no error message and both devices tell me I'm connected to my account. Still I can't get the bookmarks on the android. Can you please help me out ?
    Cheers

    If you open the Sync settings on desktop does the settings say "Pair a Device" below the account info? See attached screen shot.
    If so then unlink the device. Restart Firefox and then reconnect the desktop computer to Sync. If not reply and I'll follow up with the Android side.

  • Is there a way to get a different browser on my iPad AND do it through a sync form my MacBook

    I need a different browser on my iPad so it will go through my firewall, I use Sonic Wall.........I can't get on the Internet with the iPad to download anything so I would have to download something to my MacBook and sync to the iPad, sounds like a nightmare right?? Any suggestions.

    No really, just use iTunes to find another browser in the App Store for the iPadm, and then sync it over.
    With that said, I{m not sure a different browser is going to do any good. Perhaps your firewall can be configured to let the iPad through?
