Safari Bookmarks/reading list and syncing

Does anyone know how to sync safari bookmarks/reading list items between a macbook and iPhone 4S? I ensured that my iPhone setting is on (iCloud->safari   ->on) and I confirmed that my macbook settings are on (system preferences -> iCloud->on)

  • 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 ......

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • 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!

  • 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.    
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes

  • I have a Iphone 3gs with the reading list and I was upgrading my phone however Im changing to a samsung galaxy s3, I wanted to know how to send or sync my reading list on my phone to maybe an email or something so that I could copy it to my galaxy??

    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.

  • Can no longer add / remove to bookmarks / reading list since ios 6 upgrade

    Hi all,
    I upgraded my ipod touch to ios 6 last night, and since the upgrade I can no longer add / remove bookmarks or add / remove items to the reading list in safari.
    Whenever I try I get the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    So far I've tried;
    A hard reset
    Turning off Safari in the icloud settings
    I still can't do anything with the bookmarks / reading list, I just don't get the 'Bookmarks are being synced' message
    Ensuring that push notifications are enabled for icloud
    I'm not sure what to try next.....
    When I disable Safari in the icloud settings, it asks me if I want to keep a copy of previously synched bookmarks on my ipod - So far I have as I don't want to lose them.
    I'm guessing the next step is to not keep a copy and hope ios wipes them - If I do this will the bookmarks still be available in icloud when I turn safari data back on?
    Cheers
    Macca

    I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
    Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
    1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
    2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
    3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
    5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
    6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
    7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
    8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
    Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

  • Safari's Reading List web sites

    Safari's Reading List sync'ed with iCloud while behind a web traffic monitor, now links/web pages are not available. Bookmark file has the serverID flag though, how can I reconstruct my reading list?

    Mountain Lion
    Safari 6
    When you add a web site/article to "reading list", the page is download to the computer to read it offline.

  • I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

    I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

    I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list.  It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
    Let's see what we can find.  I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

  • I am able to save pages to my reading list and the list opens when I tap on it but no page show, just a gray screen.  How do I get the reading list to show?

  • Is there any way to turn off the download function in safari offline reading list?

    Is there any way to turn off the download function in safari offline reading list?

    Don't think so.  The point of the offline reading list is to allow you to read it later without going online.  It has to download the content to make this possible.

  • Ipad3 bookmarked reading lists -added but can't remove them

    Is this a bug? Is there a fix?

    You should be able to swipe across the item in the reading list and a Delete button should appear on it - is that not happening ?

  • 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.
