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.

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!

Bookmarks are missing from both my list and bookmark tab and I don't know if this was caused by plugin or due to lack of space in my internal HD. Please help?

Dear Community, I promise I'll try to be as concise as possible. I'm really desperate for help! I've read absolutely everything about missing bookmarks, but as you will see my problem is also about cursors and Google showing differently on screen.
It all started this day I was running short on storage space in my internat HD. Suddenly my computer showed that I had 0 KB available, and I just deleted some big mov files and restarted the computer. After the reboot, I opened FF and noticed that my bookmarks were missing and so was my reading list - my reading list is stored with the help of ReadItLater plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/read-it-later/). I tried to google solutions for my problem and realized that something was weird with the way results were displayed.
So, I made some screenshots because it's really hard to explain what's going on by writing, so please take a look:
1. When I first open my FF, if I click on ReadItLater, I get this error message (code 0x80570016): [[click here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/81007892@N07/7423869970/]]
2. Then if I click on any link on the page, and go back to check my ReadItLater list, I can open it without getting an error message but still NO READING LIST is shown. Image: [[click here|http://flic.kr/p/cj2gPm]]
3. Now take a look on how Google is displaying results on FF! The text appears in Black/Green when it's really supposed to be displayed in Blue/Green/Black! The cursor is also messed up: when I try to click one of the links with the arrow, it turns into a type cursor instead of the usual hand or clicking cursor! Please see the image: [[click here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/81007892@N07/7423869468/]]
4. Here's a screenshot of the same Google search but this time done on Safari. Compare it with the previous image: [[click here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/81007892@N07/7423869252/]]
Any help will be much appreciated. I've already tried to reinstall FF again, and I've also deleted it and reinstalled FF but I never deleted profile/personal info that is in the Library Folder. Also, have tried to back up and replace the profile folder but my computer didn't allow me. I got a message saying it was not possible to copy the places.sqlite-wal file. I have done a search about it and I can say I never had a profile duplicate. Please help? I'm desperate and I can't lose my reading list or my bookmarks!
Thank you, Firefox community!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

TV Show's Season and Episode numbers are all messed up

Because of a misunderstanding, Apple iTunes Store caused all of my past purchases to be downloaded to my itunes again.
The support folks gave me directions on how to go through and delete all the duplicates in my iTunes, which I did. It took a bit of time, and I followed their instructions to only delete the most recently downloaded version. Everything is OK except many of my TV shows. Somehow all the Season Numbers and Episode Numbers got all screwed up.
I could go through and fix them manually, but that could take a while, and I would have to look up the numbers somehow.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get these fixed without downloading them again?
Should I contact iTunes Store support again?
Thanks in advance!
Jeff

After updating to iOS 8.1.3 all of my reading lists and favorites are gone off of safari

Why did I lose all of my reading lists and favorites on safari when I updated to iOS 8.1.3

Hello, Tony.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPad no long starts after an update and you have a backup for your iPad. It sounds like you will need to restore the device to factory and then will have the option to access your backup after the restore complete. The only information that should be missing would be after the backup was completed until the device is restored. I have included the steps for going through this process in the articles below.

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.

Make sure your browser is closed and check to see if there are any processes related to Acrobat still running. If you are using Windows, Control-Alt-Delete > Processes tab. Look for AcroRd32.exe or Acrobat.exe or Acrotray.exe and stop these processes from running before you try your update again. A good ol' computer reboot might do the trick for you too.

I'm running Safari 6.0.5 - Mac OS 10.8.4 -- when I load my gmail the block around the DELETE and MOVE tabs are not usable - press buttons but nothing happens. ???

I'm running Safari 6.0.5 - Mac OS 10.8.4 -- when I load my gmail the block around the DELETE and MOVE tabs are not usable - press buttons but nothing happens. ???
I can see the block (flashes) and the buttons are no longer usable.
I have Empted Cache but doesn't seem to help.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.
