Sync Ipad bookmarks to Macbook

HI,
a new Ipad 2 without bookmarks synced to my macbook, thus deleting all my bookmarks on the Macbook. I still have my bookmarks on an Ipad 1. I 'd like to sync those back again to the macbook, but can not find a way to do that.
I have a mobile me account but dare not to sync, because it tells me more than 25% of my bookmarks get changed, and will delete the bookmarks a just put there again. `changing the settings the other way around won't help I believe, because there's nothing there,otherwise they would have synced correctly the first time.
Is there no app taht can read safaribookmarks on the Ipad? delicious wont do it I believe.
Anyone please?
Thanks,
Marius

Hi Judie...
It seems like everything I read gives instructions to sync the bookmarks from Mac to iPad. I want the reverse.
Not everyone has issues with Safari / iCloud bookmarks and keep in mind, iCloud syncs your bookmarks automatically across platforms, not just one way.
There is a way to reset iCloud syncing.
On a Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deseled the box next to Safari then reselect it
On your iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Safari off then back on. It can take iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

Sync iPad Bookmarks to MacBook Air

Hi! I just spent days organizing my Safari bookmarks on my iPad (iOS 7.1.1) I would now like these bookmarks synced to my MacBook Air (Mavericks). I did this a year ago, too, and wound up with a gigantic mess and many wasted hours. I was so frustrated with iCloud that I just turned it off completely and lived with the stupid mess. At the time I Googled and learned others were having the same problem. Has iCloud evolved in any positive way over the year that would allow me to achieve success? It seems like everything I read gives instructions to sync the bookmarks from Mac to iPad. I want the reverse.
Thank you for any help you may provide!

Problem syncing Safari Bookmarks onto the New Ipad

I need help syncing Safari bookmarks via Macbook(not icloud compatible) onto the New Ipad.

You need to connect the ipad to the computer then make sure safari is set to sync in itunes and complete a sync, it will sync that way.
You can go thru anything else you want to sync also and set that before you actualy sync. If your gonna sync then only do it once.

You can use iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks between your Mac and your iPad.
Instructions here > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Personally, I like the Wacom stylus for iPad > Amazon.com: Wacom Tech Corp. Bamboo Stylus for iPad/Tablets: Computers & Accessories
And try the accessibility features on your Mac. Open System Preferences > Accessibilty
Apple - Accessibility - OS X
I just noticeed on your other thread you mentioned that you've had your Mac for seven years so iCloud for syncing bookmarks may not be an option for you unless your Mac at the minimum is running v10.7.5 with at Safari 5.1.1. See, "Bookmarks" > System requirements for iCloud

Does Icloud sync for bookmarks between Ipad and mac pro with lion work for anyone?

My wife has an Ipad 2 and Macbook Pro tunning Lion. Bookmarks and docs do not sync on icloud. I see from the discussions many are having this problem. My question is does this work for anyone? Am wasting my time trying to make it work?

It works now, but it was a bit of a mess for a bit.
I turned off bookmark syncing on all devices but one, I exported my bookmarks to the desktop and deleted them from safari, thus deleting them from iCloud, I then added them back from the desktop. On my other devices I deleted all my bookmarks, turned bookmark syncing back on and chose to merge.

How to sync iPad to new computer/macbook maintaining game data

Hi,
my wife is using an iPad (1)
Sofar she has synchronized with iTunes on a windows machine.
Right now I want to move to iTunes on a new macbook.
I have synced on the old (windows) computer.
I have 'transferred purchases' on the new macbook.
(Apple id's are the same)
All apps are now on the iPad and the macbook.
Now we need to sync the iPad and iTunes on the macbook.
Question: what will happen with all game data.
Apparantly all apps (250 games!) will be removed and replaced from /on the iPad.
But what will happen to to game data/status?
Will all the work in (e.g.) the 'Smurf city' be wiped out?
Is the a way to keep/remain/save the game data?
thx in advance for your tips and hints

You want to restore from the backup in order to restore the app data and game saves.
I have posted this a number of times. You have done some of this already, but this is a "start from scratch" list ofinstructions for syncing with a new computer. Anything that does not apply - like transferring music or photos at the end - just ignore.
1. Authorize the computer.
2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
3. Transfer purchases
4. Backup the iPad
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:
