Reading List and Bookmarks not syncing

I have the following installed:
- iPhone4 with iOS 5
- Windows 7 PC with Safari and iCloud
- Setting to use iCloud for Bookmarks is ON (on both desktop iCloud and iPhone)
However, I dont see the Reading List and Bookmarks on the desktop Safari syncing with the iPhone. Any help or suggestions would greatly help.
thanks,

Reading List and bookmarks sync problems

Hello,
I have search answers to my problems and tried all the solutions but it does not work.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3883515?searchText=Safari%20reading%20list% 20does%20not%20sync%20with%20iPad
I have an iMac on OS 10.9.5, and iPhone 4s and iPad3 on iOS 7.1.2...
My Safari setting on iCloud are on but the reading list and bookmarks do not sync in neither way...
The strange thing is that I can see that open tabs are syncing, on the iMac, when I search for smth, I can see it displays me the iClouds open tabs from the tablet and iphone... but that is all. no sync of bookmarks and reading list...
any suggestions ?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem (and not only with Safari but with the notes app as well): The information is not synced at all. I've tried toggling the check marks for "safari" and "notes" within the iCloud settings on both sides (iPhone as well as iMac) but it doesn't do anything .... the information does not sync at all!
I had this problem using Mavericks and now still have it using Yosemite. On my iPhone 4 I have the latest iOS version possible, 7.1.2.
BTW: Resetting the devices doesn't solve the problem either ... I already did a complete "restore" of the iPhone yesterday and still the syncing does not work!
BTW2: It seems that nothing gets synced anymore to my iPhone. I just notice that a new contact, added on my iMac, isn't available on my iPhone.
Any help would be welcomed ......

After my upgrade to iOS6, my iPhone4 lost all entries in the Reading List and Bookmarks. I cannot add new entries. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I'm not 100% positive that this is related to the iOS6 upgrade, but the timing is certainly suspicios. Previously, I had 7 entries in Safari's readling list and many entries in the Bookmarks. Now, I have nothing except the large pair of sunglasses and help text that tells me how to add a link to the reading list.
When I am looking at a webpage and click on the Forward button, I'm giving all sorts of choices now in full color... facebook... Message... Twitter... Mail... Add to homescreen. The following buttons are all grey: Print, Copy, Bookmark, and Add to Reading List.
I'm guessing that the icon color is a red herring. Print and Copy, despite being grey, appear to work fine. Bookmark and Add to Reading List have problems.
Adding to the Reading List makes the forwarding screen go away, as though the link was added. When I click on the Bookmark icon and look at my reading list, it remains empty, displaying the large sunglasses and help text, as though the list has never had an entry added to it.
Adding a Bookmark prompts me to enter the name and location. Interestingly, the list of locations is empty. I have a single folder with no name and a check mark next to it. I cannot do anything else (make a new folder, for example). Once added, when I click on the Bookmark icon to look at my bookmarks, that list remains empty of individual bookmarks. All I have are: Reading List (still empty), History (full of expected entries), Bing (which takesme to some Bing thing).
Any help in restoring my bookmarks and Reading List entries would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

Safari 5.1.4 reading list and bookmark tabs are all messed up

I opened safari and all of my tabs/reading list were thrown way outta wack. The reading list is "empty" but has hundreds of greyed out stuff behing the glasses and explanation. Everytime i add something to the list it adds the item multiple times, 1 at first then 2 for the next item ad infinitum. My once polished tabs bar has been riddled with old stuff that I never put there. What the heck happened?!

After updating to Safari 5.1.4 my reading list is very messed up - instead of saving one webpage link in the reading list, it mutiplies the same webpage to fill up my entire viewable screen - i counted at least 40 duplicated webpages for one 'add page' readling list.
It also duplicated every previous webpage link I had in the my reading list 40 times each - and when i scroll to the very bottom of the reading list, i can't find my old 'reading list pages, even when i click the view "all" reading list webpages. This *****, as I had about 10 reading list webpages to actually read - now i lost 6 because space.

Go to supportprofile.apple.com and remove your device. Alternatively you can call in to apple and have Apple look up your phone number. They may be able to remove it from their end.
If it does not show up in either of these places, have the people whe own the other iPhone send you a message> this message will be blue for an iMessage> have them push an hold on that message and select the option "send as text"> this should send the message as green> do this two - four time till it starts sending as green on its own.> this should fix it.

I just purchased a ipad 2 and have not sync it yet. I have an old pc and would like to move the itunes library account to a newer pc that I have. Can I move the library to the ipad and sync ipods to the ipad and/or move the library to the new pc?

Perhaps this web page will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1229
But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

I am installing itunes to a laptop and have not sync device to this lap. It is saying that it must first restore device. The problem is I have over 2000 pictures and don't want to lose them. Now my phone is in restore mode and I don't know what to do. I don't want to proceed and loose these very important photos of family. What do I do to get it out of restore mode? My phone will not allow me to do anything to it at this point. I have the itunes downloaded on the laptop now. When I push the button for the phone it just shows Itunes and plug. I can't even call or open phone up.

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

Using a computer, other than the one you have regularily been Syncing and Backing up to, was the begining of your issue.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

HT4489 Ever since the last update IOS5.1.1, calendar entries are not saved on Icloud, and would not sync on all I clould devices

After the last update of IOS5.1.1, all caledar entries are not saved on Icloud and thus not synced on all my Icloud devices, even though, spreadsheets are synced, photostream is working and contacts is syncing, only calendar items. Anybody has the same problem? Or a solution to this kind or problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

I'm using a Mac to sync my devices , but the Windows Address Book should also work, as well as the apps which store the data in the cloud like Google and Yahoo for example. See also page 48 in the iPod_touch_iOS4_User_Guide
Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7), or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you
change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.
Calendars
You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
Did you already try to reset the Sync history in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, as suggested in the Troubleshooting article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 ?

Bookmarks not syncing on iPad after iOS 4.3 update

I have the following problem since the iOS 4.3 update on 2 iPads and 1 iPhone 3GS. (no problem on iPhones 4)
If I attach device to iTunes and start syncing, everything seems synced except the bookmarks. I get either messages:
'iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPad "name" because an error occured while merging data.'
'iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPad "name" because the bookmarks are in use bu the iPhone.'
If I do a second sync - without stopping iTunes - the bookmarks are synced.
Any idea how to solve this ?

I have the same problem, but it was after buying a new Mac and setting up syncs. The bookmarks from the iPad disappeared and were not syncing through MobileMe, although it is working on my iPhone 4, so I turned of the MM sync and tried iTunes. After trying just about everything suggested in this thread (hard boot, clearing caches etc, shutting off all multi-tasking, getting rid of the Mozilla app, and so on) when I sync with iTunes I still get the message: "iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPad xxxx because the bookmarks are in use by the iPad."
How does one shut down whatever is using the bookmarks?

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.
