Make Safari bookmark show up like an iPhone app?

Hi all,
Is there a way to make an Safari bookmark show up like an iPhone app? I'd like to set up a screen of just my very favorite bookmarks with their icons being the sites favicon. This would be a lot easier than going into Safari, open, a new page, and traverse to the desired bookmarks.
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

With the website available that you want to create a web clip for - to appear as an icon on your iPhone's Home screen just like an app for faster access, at the bottom of the page select the + icon.
The options are:
Add Bookmark
Add to Home Screen - this is the one you want to select.

  • How do I get safari bookmarks to update onto the iPhone?

    On my older iPhones, the Safari bookmarks always used to slurp up from my computer onto the phone so I could use them on the phone. Now, that does not happen, the bookmarks on the phone are old and never update when I plug my phone into iTunes to update.
    What setting do I need to revisit to make Safari bookmarks update from the computer onto the iPhone?
    TIA,
    Ken

    I do not subscribe to any other than the basic iCloud I am forced into having and I noticed also, in settings on the phone under 'info' in iTunes when the phone is plugged in, says that bookmarks are being updated through iCloud. This cannot be true as my bookmarks have not updated for a long time, I think since iCloud came into existence. Maybe this is an iCloud issue?
    I don't want to fiddle with settings in the 'info' section as many of them say that there will be duplicates if I choose to use my computer as the source for updates. It is very dangerous as I already have duplicate calendar entries and suspect this has happened because of iCloud coming into the picture. It is very scary.

  • How can I import safari bookmarks from my iPad or iPhone?

    I recently opened a MobileMe account and set my account to sync with my Safari on my iMac. While I was in Safari, MobileMe synced, I mistakenly allowed it to sync from MobileMe to Safari, not the other way around. So I have lost all my bookmarks. They still exist in my iPhone and iPad, but I want them to go back into my computer. I have tried syncing the devices to my iMac, but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? Have I missed something?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Open System Preferences/MobileMe: Select the Sync tab. Then click the Advanced tab. Select your Mac and click: *Reset Sync Data*
    If that doesn't sync your Safari bookmarks back to your iPhone or iPad, try MobileMe: Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch sync issues first.
    You can also post in the iPhone Forum to get help there.
    Do you by chance use Firefox? You could export your Bookmarks there to Safari and it would be a much simpler process ??

  • Safari bookmarks & history not syncing with iPhone

    All of my history, readling list and bookmarks on Safari on my Macbook are no longer syncing with my iPhone. initially, my Safari on my macbook pro was syncing perfectly through sept. 2013. ever since then, nothing, including my history and bookmarks, from safari on my mac will sync anymore with the safari first on my iphone 4s and now my iphons 5s. i've already turned off the syncing options on both devices, turned them back on and restarted both devices, as per the suggestions from another post. STILL NOTHING. And with the update to the iOS on iphone as a few months ago, there is no longer the option to turn on and off the safari book sync options under settings on the iPhone or on iTunes. Help please!

    Sorry I have a problem with my devices and thought that you could help me , you are saying that safari history used to sync between all your devices , I was told that the history can't be synced and that only iCloud tabs sync , so plz plz reply to me cause I have a major problem , does safari history ( which is in the bookmark not the iCloud tabs ) does it sync between devices and you can see a history of one device on your other device
    pleeeeeease reply

  • How can I make Safari on iOS behave like/pretend it's Safari on OSX

    I am trying to demo a site that detects that the browser is mobile.  I want Safari on the iPad to display the non-mobile version of the site.  How do I make this happen?

    Try the iCab or Atomic browsers. Or contact the sysop at the site you are trying to demo.

  • HT1386 My Safari bookmarks have disappeared from my iphone after syncing

    Lost all my bookmarks after syncing, what gives?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Safari
    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

  • Is it possible to make Safari the default browser on my iPhone?

    I'm wondering if there's a way I can configure my iPhone such that when I open a hyperlink in a downloaded app, it goes to Safari rather than the in-app browser. I want Safari to be the default browser for all apps (both native and third-party). How can this be done?

    It's a matter of the app. Some apps give you the option to open the link in Safari or in app browser. iFooty is one of them.

  • I already reset the phone but it is still showing on find my iphone app

    I know all about the icloud activation thing. so when I sold an iphone 5, I did a reset all content and settings.  What I dont understand is, it is still on my find my iphone application.  Does this mean if the new owner reset her iPhone, it will go to activation and ask for my password again?  If the new owner sets up her icloud account on the iPhone 5, then the iphone is now registered to 2 icloud accounts?

    Sign in on www.icloud.com, choose the find my iPhone icon, locate the phone, choose remote wipe, then remove the device from your account.  That will prevent the activation lock from enabling on the person you sold the phone to.

  • How can I import Safari bookmarks to my iPhone 6

    I simply want to export Safari bookmarks from my Mac to iPhone 6. I do not want to use cloud. ITunes lets me sync contacts and calendars (along with music, movies and all the other crap I do not want to sync) but does not offer me the option  of syncing safari bookmarks. How the **** do I do it?

    How? You use simply iCloud. That's your only choice.

  • How do I sync Safari bookmarks to update on iPad?

    Years ago, when I first had the iPhone and iTunes on my Mac, Safari bookmarks would always update from bookmarks on my Mac and reflect accordingly on the iPhone. I also see that bookmarks do not update on my iPad now either. How do I get back the behavior from the 'good old days' to make safari bookmarks update when I sync my iPad and iPhone through iTunes on the Mac? There must be some settings that have been changed, but I have not been able to search them out in settings.
    Please Help,
    TIA,
    Ken

    Just posting here has made me start searching other similar posts, and while the exact answer was not written here I began searching my iTunes settings and saw that iCloud is the culprit. I do not use iCloud as it keeps giving me an error message that my username is wrong. What a world, I have no idea how to fix that nor do I care about iCloud. I simply want my phone to sync with my computer. I did find that settings to turn off iCloud were on my phone and I suppose also on my iPad which I will look at next.
    I turned off all iCloud links on my iPhone and now the bookmarks came beautifully over from my computer to my iPhone.
    Thanks Apple for having these forums to help users.

  • I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

    I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

  • How do i transfer safari bookmarks to new iphone 6 plus

    how do i transfer safari bookmarks from an iphone 4s to a new iphone 6 plus?

    All you need to do is make a backup of your iPhone 5, either in iCloud or iTunes and then restore your new iPhone 6 to that backup. When you say you are getting this message about Find My iPhone, have you set that up already in the new phone? Importing photos from the iPhone to the computer does not require Find My iPhone, just an import utility on the computer, depending on your computer OS.

  • How to transfer SMS and Call History from Iphone 5 to Iphone 6 plus? Only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced.

    Hi! Please help. I have synced my IPhone 5 to Itunes. When I try to sync it to Iphone 6 plus, only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced to the latest date. The rest like SMS and Call History have only synced to June 2013.

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
    I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!
    Got this from here: http://www.cultofmac.com/296711/transfer-data-new-iphone-6-imazing/
    Hope this helps!
