No more bookmarks synch between devices?

iOS5? iCLoud? Both?
In any cases, after all those tiring upgrades, a lot of things doesn't work properly...
But I'll go one by one: the first and the most annoying one is that my bookmarks doesn't synch anymore from my iPad to my iPod, and vice-versa.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Do you have the Recovery Key for your Sync account?
You can used that "Key" along with the username and password to connect to Sync and retrieve your data.
If you don't have the Recovery Key, you're SOL.

Messages not synching between devices

I've currently installed Messages beta, and I thought I would be able to sync the conversations between my computers and my iphone. However, nothing is synching. I'm running 10.7.3 and I previoulsly installed Chax. Even thought Chax is not supported for Lion, I keep getting a notice about ChaxHelperApplications trying to send scripts to iChat whenever I open the app. Should I be able to sync the conversations between devices? Is it possible that the Chax scripts are taking away this feature? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Brad

Hi,
Find your Chax.dmg item and run the Installer and chose the Uninstall Option
(You may need to download it again if you did not keep the .dmg)
Once you have done this go to the Finder > Go Menu and hold the ALT key down and select Library
Open Preferences
Find com.apple.ichat.plist (this will keep a record that it needs to display the Chax Preference Pane icon and the Preferences)
Drag the .plist to the Trash and restart Messages (Yes Messages still uses that .plist).
This should remove the messages about Chax needing to start.
It should not have effected the ability to sync though.

Bookmarks Not Synching Between Devices

My iPad and iPhone are not synching bookmarks. In fact, there were two bookmarks on a novel in my iPhone, and one on my iPad. Today when I looked both to see if they synchronized, I was greeted with only one on my iPhne and none on my iPad. I'm the only one who has access to these devices and I didn't delete them.
So far this doesn't seem to work at all the way Apple advertises ... For now I have to forgo reading the same book on my iPhone and iPad, otherwise I will never know where I left off. Most frustrating. Anybody have a solution to this problem?

Is anyone experiencing a delay in synching between devices?

I read, file and/or delete my mail on my iPad and my iPhone does not update immediately. Sometimes takes 30 minutes or more. Is this normal?

I've not heard of or experience any such issue.
Have you tried removing and readding the accounts in question?

IMessage not synching between devices

Ok sorry if this has been asked and answered already but I've had a good look around and haven't been able to solve this problem yet.
I have an ipad1 and an iPhone 3GS both with ios5. I use the iPad most of all and when I send iMessages to my friends. That conversation does not appear on the iPhone. I thought it was supposed to so if you started a conversation on the iPad and left home you could continue it on your phone.
My friend receives the full conversation on his iPad and iPhone.
We've checked and double checked the settings and I'm 99% sure they are correct
Anybody help me
THANKS
MIKE

Thanks for the reply paulcb :)
I managed to sort it by turning iMessage off on all devices and then turning it back on starting with my phone. Once you do that it starts to activate them all.
I then soft resetted my phone and ipad and now all 3 devices are working in harmony once again.

How do I limit which bookmarks sync between devices?

I use firefox on my home, personal laptop and work desktop with Sync, all running Firefox 29. Is there a way I can stop some bookmarks from syncing? I like having the same tools and resources (all my metasearch tools, open source intelligence links, news sites, etc.) readily available but I don't want my personal email account, financial/banking, or other sites to sync to my work desktop or going through my employer's server.

Sorry, synchronizing bookmarks is all or nothing. No way to select individual folders or separate bookmarks to Sync or to not Sync.
The best suggestion I can offer is separate user Profiles and separate Sync accounts, which is something that I have done in the past. <br />
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
I had a Profile set up on my desktop that was basically the same on my laptop, and I has Sync setup in those Profiles. I used that laptop for on-site job reporting via in-store WiFi, and some "surfing" via a Bluetooth connection thru my phone if I had "time to kill" before leaving for the next job that day. I never did online banking in those Profiles, but used a different Profile for banking on my desktop at home. When that laptop was stolen on a job site the "thief" had temporary access ''(until I got home to change some passwords)'' to job-related website bookmarks and logins, but not any personal or financial websites.

Time not synched between devices

Been noticing lately a big difference between the time my iPhone displays, the time my work mac displays and the time my bosses mac displays. We all have our clocks set automatically (to pacific time), yet there is almost 10 minutes difference between my phone and my power mac, and almost 5 minutes difference between my power mac and my bosses power mac. Any ideas what can be going on here? It's starting to cause problems showing up to meetings on time.

Synching photos between devices

Photos taken on my iPhone and iPad mini automatically synch between these two devices. However, I can't figure out how to get those devices to synch their photos with my Mac mini (has iPhoto 11). Shouldn't this be possible?

Jerrry wrote:
I'm not on Facebook, so I can't use that as a test. As soon as I open iPhoto it asks what library I want (although it lists none). The Choose button is grayed out. Other Library button opens finder to Desktop. Create New takes me to a Finder screen that says "Save As:" at the top. The files it shows are 2013, iPod Photo Cache and Lightroom. That's it.
Try launching iPhoto while holding down the Option key. It should then ask you what library you want to use and should show a Finder screen. From there navigate to your home folder ~/Pictures and in that folder you should find a file named iPhoto Library or perhaps a variation on that theme. Select iPhoto Library which should activate the Choose button. Click on choose and hopefully you will be back in business and you will also see Photo Stream inder WEB in the sidebar.

IBooks bookmarks syncing incorrectly between devices

I have a book I am reading on iBooks on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks, my iPhone 5s with iOS 7, and my iPod touch 4g, which has iOS 6. I have each device set up to sync bookmarks and collections between devices, but the bookmarks keep syncing incorrectly. For example: I am reading on my iPhone, and I drop a bookmark 2 pages away from the end of chapter 40. If I open the book on my iPod touch it does not show the current bookmark, but an old one from earlier in the chapter. Another example: I am reading on my iPod touch, and I drop a bookmark two pages away from the end of chapter 40. This time, I open the book on my iPhone, and it has placed a new bookmark at chapter 39! I open the book on my MacBook Pro after that, and a bookmark has been placed at the beginning go chapter 40!
So, there you have it. I place a bookmark on one device, and the other two devices place bookmarks in completely different places on the book.
All of my devices have the same Apple ID, and both of the mobile devices are synced with iTunes.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks.

The only info that syncs via iCloud for iBooks is collection lists (not the books themselves), Bookmarks, and Notes.
The Books themselves can be automatically downloaded if they are coming from the store. On the iPhone, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Turn on Automatic Downloads for Books. Same thing can be done on the Mac in preferences.
Since your Books are not from the store, the only way to get them on both devices is to download them to both devices. This will never occur automatically. This also goes for PDFs you add to your iBooks
Hope that helps solve the mystery.
iBooks: How to sync iBooks between devices
If you buy a book on your Mac, it’s automatically available on all of your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later.
You can even synchronize your bookmarks, notes, and collections across your devices.

HT5372 Does icloud sync bookmarks between devices?

Hi there,
Previously, when I synced my iphone to my macbook pro using itunes, the bookmarks in safari including those in the bookmark bar, were synced too. Does icloud sync bookmarks in safari between devices? Thanks.

Thanks. That worked. Unfortunately, I guess the way I did it, it synced in the wrong direction so I've lost all the bookmarks I'd added to safari on my laptop since the last time these synced. :-( That's one aspect of icloud I find scary and frustrating.

Why won't my iBook bookmarks sync between my devices

Well I like to read on my iPad but when I'm out I read on my iPhone. For some reason whenever I use the red bookmark button on my iPad, it doesn't come up on my iPhone and I have to find where I left off on my iPhone which can be very difficult sometimes! I was just wondering if anyone new how to sync my bookmarks over my devices. I have made sure that sync bookmarks is on in settings but it still doesn't want to do it!

Hi Ronda,
I got my External to work shortly after posting my original post. I figured I would post my solution in case anyone else is facing the same thing.
I could not find any trace of the hard drive on my mac but i figured out the problem was lack of power. I upgraded my external's enclosure from one that used one plug (data and power on one usb port) to one that used two plugs on one cable (data on one plug, power on another) and it properly powered my drive and I was then able to find it in Disk Utility and format it to work. It is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). It has functioned properly since then. As far as using firewire vs. USB, I (at this moment, at least) have no need to boot from the external, so i don't see the need in using it. However, firewire is pretty new to me and I have never used it before so if there are other benefits to using it over usb, i would love to know. Especially since my external currently takes up both of my USB ports unless I use a hub or plug the power part of the cable into a USB wall charger or something like that to free the other port up.
Thanks,
Geoffery

Ibooks pdfs do not sync between devices?

Is Ibooks supposed to sync between devices?

Is this really the case? I'm getting more and more disenchanted with my iPad. It's implied in all the advertising that iCloud will 'magically' make sure everything stays synched between your devices. But is it actually true that the pdfs I have saved in a collection on my iPad (which were downloaded from any old website), will not sync to my mac at all? How is this helpful in any way? I've got 'sync all books' selected in itunes on the mac, and 'sync collections' selected in the settings on all my devices.
Edited to add: they don't sync over iCloud or when i have the iPad connected by cable, if that was not clear.
Quite frankly, this is rubbish and in my opinion, blatant false advertising. Is there some annoyingly cumbersome workaround I can use??

Ibooks purchases syncing between devices

My iBooks is not synching properly between devices - this is a recent problem. When I make an iBooks purchase on my iPhone - the book will not download onto my iPad and vice versa. I checked my iBooks settings and the 'sync bookmarks' and 'sync collections' is both turned on. I also have removed the iBooks on my iphone and then downloaded again and the recent purchases are still 'downloading' and are grayed out.

I have a quick update. I spent hours upon hours on this and i figured out that iTunes is the central management peice of the puzzle. I have a windows 7 laptop and I have an ipad 3 and an iphone 4 and iphone 5. All are set to sync iBooks. In iTunes, the devices have sync options for music and other items such as iBooks. If you enable ibooks synchying for each device then it will synch all pdfs and books as long as the documents exist in itunes ibooks library i found that individual devices can edit names of pdfs but that change is not reflected on other devices. so i made all my pdf docs "properties" changes in itunes library, then deleted all ibooks from my ipad and iphones, then synched all over again! that solved my problem.
make sure "synch all ibooks" is checked in itunes synch options per device.
this is annoying because i should not need my pc or itunes to synch ibooks pdf files as well as changes across all devices. i want to eliminate the need for my pc but the cloud isnt as sophisticated as i assumed...

Cloud not synching between phone/imac/mac book pro, calendar and addresses not synching.

addresses and calendar not synching between 3 devices.. phone, iMac and mac book pro.
dates are correct, iCloud is on for those applications. etc.

Your profile shows that you are running OS X 10.6.7. If that's true, you will need to update a iCloud requires OS X 10.7.5 or later. If you are running a more recent version of OS X and your data still isn't syncing, check to be sure of the following:
That your Mac and iOS devices are signed into the same iCloud account and have Calendars and Contacts turned on in Settings (System Preferences)>iCloud.
That you have selected iCloud as your Default Account for contacts in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars on your iOS devices and in Contacts (Address Book)>Preferences>General on your Macs.
That you have selected an iCloud calendar as your Default Calendar in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars on your iOS devices and in Calendar (iCal)>Preferences>General on your Macs.

Why doesn't iChat synch between my iPhone and iPad and iMac ?

I am using iChat on my iMac but the messages won't synch between my iPhone and iPad even though I am signed into my iCloud account on all three devices

HI,
It seems that in Messages Beta you could create a "Start Date" if all old messages were removed from the iOS devices.
It seems no different in Messages. (I used this Method during the Beta period)
Others have reported that turning the Phone Off and On again also creates a "Start Point"
(The two methods are mutually exclusive if you do the above first).
