Hi needleman_mark,
Happy Holidays!
The best way to keep your bookmarks synced between your iPad, iPhone and Mac is to use iCloud.  Check your iCloud settings on all three devices and make sure Safari is turned on.  Click on the link below for complete details.  I've highlighted some of the key information for you:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203519
Troubleshooting on iOS
First, confirm that you’ve turned on iCloud Bookmarks:
On iOS 6 or iOS 7, go to Settings > iCloud and check that Safari is turned on.
On iOS 5, go to Settings > iCloud and check that Bookmarks is turned on.
Next, try each of these steps, testing after each step to see if the issue is resolved:
Try installing the latest version of iOS supported by your device.
Go to Settings > iCloud and make sure you are signed in to the same iCloud account that you are using on your other supported devices.
Make sure that your iOS device is online by attempting to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List will not update in the Safari app. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Troubleshooting on OS X Lion or later
First, confirm that you've turned on iCloud bookmarks:
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
Make sure that the checkbox labeled Safari (or Bookmarks) is selected.
Next, try each of these steps, testing after each step to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure that you are using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. If necessary, review the steps for finding your OS X version information.
Make sure that your computer is online by attempting to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List will not update in Safari. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Wishing you all the best this Holiday season!

    How does one transfer, or sync Safari  bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air without involving iCloud?

    Give Xmarks a try, they have an iOS app as well. It will not sync directly to Safari on the iPad, you open the links through the app.

  • ICloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC

    iCloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC
    I don't even use IE but since the Firefox app won't open the bookmarks in Safari, I thought I'd just copy my Firefox bookmarks to IE, then use the cloud sync.  (I am syncing and backing up to iCloud, and not my PC)
    I did this all last night: backed up and then synced to iCloud  Another thread  suggested that you shut down IE so I did that. Someone else had suggested on a different thread that un-checking and re-checking the Bookmark check box in the iCloud Control panel would trigger a re-sync...did that all last night in hopes it would sync and it didn't.
    I manually deleted everything in the Safari bookmarks in the Phone that it would allow, but now strangely enough in addition to the "Reading List" and "history" folders, I have TWO "Bookmarks Bar" folders with identical contents.
    So I'm trying to be patient and thought maybe it takes some time for it to re-sync so I left iTunes up and running on the PC overnight...as usual....so I tried again this evening. I still have my old bookmarks on the iPhone (4S), and they've never pulled in.
    Thoughts?

    Gee, I don't know what to tell you....I can open IE, add a folder, resync my iPhone to the iCloud, and the new folder appears. I even tried it while leaving IE open (I had read on another thread that closing it might help, but it had no adverse impact on my ability to sync).
    Well, all I can suggest is to give Safari a try, or use the Firefox app (unfortunately it's a multi-step process to open a link through Safari, but that might not bother you)
    Or, just run through these checkpoints one more time to make sure nothing is missed.
    Are you running Windows 7 or later, and have you downloaded the iCloud Control panel for Windows?

    Do you have Bookmarks turned on in iCloud settings on your iOS device?
    You may have done exactly this, but if not, give this a try (and may help others in the future)
    Deselect Bookmark syncing in the iCloud control panel     on your PC.
    Deselect iCloud Bookmarks on your iOS device. It should     then prompt you to take action with the previously synced bookmarks on     your device. Choose "Delete from my iPhone (or whatever delete option     it gives you).
    Sync manually to the cloud through your iOS device. You should have no bookmarks on your device.
    Now turn everything back on...
    In the iCloud control panel, re-select     Bookmarks/Internet Explorer
    on your iOS device, re-enable iCloud Bookmark Syncing
    Now manually back up your iOS device to iCloud

  • Sync Safari bookmarks from iMac to devices

    Can anyone tell me if there's a way to place my safari bookmarks from my iMac to my iPhone and iPad?

    Activate iCloud on all the devices and select Safari in the settings. Your bookmarks will stored on Apple servers, so you should only do this if you don't mind sharing that information with Apple employees.

  • How do I sync Safari bookmarks onto iPad?

    I may be missing something (new iPad and also new to Mobil me) but I cannot figure out how to sync my Safari bookmarks onto my iPad. This would include the Safari bar.

  • How to force sync Safari Bookmarks from my laptop to the iPhone?

    I have "cleansed" and rearranged my Safari Bookmarks on my laptop and would like to have the same structure and set of bookmarks on my iPhone, but syncing apparently does not change the bookmarks on the iPhone.??? I am puzzled. What do I do wrong?
    How can I delete all bookmarks on the iPhone and force a synchronisation with the laptop? (In System Preferences>Mobile Me the Safari Bookmarks are checked).
    thanks in advance for any pointers/ suggestions/solutions.
    Cheers,
    Veit

    Thanks a lot for your instant response. I am now in iTunes>Info>Advanced, but there the only options after Replace Info on the iPhone is Mail Accounts and that is greyed out. The Web Browser heading above the Advanced heading says: Your bookmarks are being synced with iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air syncing settings can be changed on your iPhone.
    But on the iPhone I don't find where to change these settings. Any suggestions?
    Thanks a million.

  • Ipod touch Safari not syncing Safari bookmarks with my MBP over Mobile me

    Hi -
    Just got a 16 GB Second Gen iPod Touch yesterday. I also opted to try out the free 60 day trial of Mobile me. For some reason the Safari on my iPod will not sync with and show all of the bookmarks I have on Safari on my MacBook pro. I went back and checked the settings and signed out and signed back into mobile me and reset what is synced, but still did not work
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks
    M.

    1) Make sure you login to iTunes with your MobileMe account.
    2) Make sure you sync your Mac with the MobileMe System Preference Pane.
    * Be sure to go to the Sync tab and select Bookmarks.
    3) Sync your Mac.
    4) Now in iTunes, goto the Info tab. It should state that Your Bookmarks are being synced with your iPod/iPhone using MobileMe.

  • Firefox does not Sync my bookmarks from my PC to my Android Phone (Zombie problem is back again!!!)

    Hi,
    I'm using Firefox 18.0.2 on my several PC's and synch works fine between them.
    But on my Smasung Note 2 (Android 4.1.2) Firefox could never synched bookmarks from PC. However opened tabs seems to be synchronized from PC to my mobile phone. But none of mbookmay PC rks seems on my Phone. I got no error message after synch operation on my android phone. But no bookmarks synchronized.
    All options including Bookmarks selected under what to synch menu. I also tried only to select bookmarks, but helped.
    I'm waiting this feature to work during a few months, through different firefox PC and android releases, now as a final hope I'm contacting with you.
    My synch usename is [email protected] and I'm using default Firefox server.
    I'm sure there is a bug blocking my bookmarks to be synched to my Android Phone , I really want to help Firefox devs to fix these bug.
    Regards....

    Having the same problem. Uninstall and reinstall did not help. Is there any progress on this? I'm using the latest android OS, and sync is working just fine on my other devices. The android phone is syncing my tabs but not my bookmarks.

  • Transferring Safari bookmarks from iPad to Laptop

    Hi There.
    So I've just installed Safari on my laptop, trouble is I need to transfer my bookmarks from my iPhone/iPad.
    I've seen loads of sites offering me advice of how to go the other way (from laptop to iDevice) but obviously this would delete all my bookmarks from my iDevice.
    Any help?

    Hi Finty2,
    If the movie was purchased through the iTunes Store, you may want to try redownloading it from iTunes on your computer. You may find the following article helpful:

  • IPad connected to Microsoft Live mail. Messages deleted in Live website do not sync and delete from iPad.

    My iPad 3rd Gen running iOS 7. It is connected to Microsoft Live email, and I have it syncing 30 days of messages. I frequently use the outlook.com website to read and delete messages. When I look at my iPad inbox, the messages remain even though I have already deleted them in the website. This behaviour persists whether I am on Wi-Fi or cellular data.
    Do I have a configuration set incorrectly, or is this a known issue with MS Live?

    My experience is with hotmail not live mail, but might be something to look into. I had to go into the options of my hotmail and enable the ability for the device to update mail. Prior to that, I'd have to delete the same mail off my iPod and iPad, but after I enabled that I could delete off my iPod and have that reflected on my iPad.
    So maybe poke around in the settings for live mail and see if there's a setting to allow your devices to delete from the server.

  • Is there an alternative method to sync Safari bookmarks without using iCloud? I am running the latest versions of Mavericks, iOS and iTunes.

    Is there a method to sync Safari bookmarks from my Mac to my iPhone WITHOUT using iCloud?
    I am running the latest versions of Mavericks, iTunes and iOS.

    Hi Mary ..
    Afraid not but if you decide to use iCloud and you're iPhone is running iOS 8, (according to your profile), hold off until you can upgrade your Mac to Yosemite.

  • HT4759 Cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to iPad.

    I cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to my iPad.
    When connected to iTunes it lists that my bookmarks are being synced via iCloud, but I cannot see where my bookmarks are being stored on iCloud.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
    I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
    Thank you
