Sync reading list

Unlike many others I like Reading List as a snappy place for 'to reads'.
However I am amazed to find it doesn't sync between devices like bookmarks, and it's not on mobile Safari at all.
Am I missing something... or is Apple missing something?

I hated reading list at first but today I was looking at some web page on my MBA at college and it wasn't something I would read from Instapaper on my iPad, as it was some guide to get something done on my iMac.
I even removed reading list from the bookmark bar.
So, I decided to give it a try expecting to get it sync as all bookmarks are synced between devices and computers but it didn't do it.
I don't think we are missing anything, I guess this is something that will be addressed or not.

HT4550 Is it possible to sync Reading List using iTunes?

I don't have iCloud as I'm running Snow Leopard. My bookmarks are currently being synced via iTunes but I'm not sure if I can do the same with Reading List.

No. It uses iCloud to do it

How to Sync reading list with Windows

Have anyone actually gotten the reading list to sync with Windows (Vista)? I have the Windows iCloud app installed but the reading list syncs randomly. It's more rare that it actually syncs.

Hello.
Currently, there is no way to sync your reading list between your devices. Since the reading list is just webpages without all of the ads and a more reader-like experience, it's just like a bookmark. But, you have to make all of those reading list items into bookmarks to sync between devices. The reading list is for on-device only.
Sorry for all of the trouble. (With 200 and all) :-(

How to sync reading lists from my Safari on Macbook with the iPhone Safari?

How can I sync my reading lists on the Safari on my Macbook Pro to the Safari on my iPhone?
Do I need to use iCloud?

Howdy Anna,
Indeed, iCloud can keep your Bookmarks, Reading List, and currently open tabs available across devices.
Bookmarks, Reading List, and iCloud Tabs
iCloud keeps your bookmarks and Reading List up to date in Safari on all your devices. It also updates iCloud Tabs to show you all the webpages you have open in Safari on your Mac computers with OS X v10.8 or later and your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later.

Can you sync Reading List to iOS5 from OS 10.6 Mac?

I am running an iPhone 4S and the MacBook Pro with OS 10.6, which doesn't use iCloud. I have Safari 5.1.2 on the laptop. Shouldn't the Reading List sync anytime I connect the two and sync via iTunes? They don't, and it's annoying Thanks for the help!

hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising - I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop - I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb ? = under the HD icon on desktop is written :
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free "
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up the hard drive - would this mean all my files [over 100 gb] that are mostly in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon, would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ] ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it.
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

Safari: sync Reading List but not Bookmarks

Is there a way to use iCloud to sync the Reading List in Safari but not the Bookmarks? I have a work computer and a home computer that I require completely different bookmarks on but would like to keep synced in all other areas.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, you cannot differentiate between those two features, it is both or nothing, but you could use another app like Pocket (http://getpocket.com) which is available for iOS, Mac and accesible via the browser for saving articles and sync them between devices. This shoul help you to keep the bookmarks separated and using another app for reading list.

Synchronization reading list from Safari Windows to iPhone

Hello!
I have some problems with synchronization reading list from Safari Windows to iPhone.
I have some sites in list, but I dont have it on iphone. icloud on, apps for windows downloads.
What need i do?

I know it's been a while, but in case others come across this problem:
You need to have the iCloud Control Panel for Windows installed and Bookmark synchronization set to Safari for syncing reading lists to work.

ICloud and reading list

Hi There
I've just installed iOS5 on my iPhone 4 without hitch, and have updated my OSX and everything is syncing perfectly across my computer and iPhone. However to quote the iOS5 webpage "Reading List lets you save interesting articles to peruse later, while iCloud keeps your list updated across all your devices"
This just doesn't seem to be happening. I've added a list of things to read on my MBA and they are not showing up on my iPhone reading list.
Is this something that is missing, or am I missing how to do this
Many Thanks
Paul

Hi, can you only sync Reading list along with bookmarks?
I have different things bookmarked on my iPad and Mac and dont want them to sync so have that turned off.
But i would like to sync the reading lists...
Can you sync them seperatly?

TS4001 Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's goin

Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

My reading list stopped syncing to my PC

My reading list will not sync anymore on my PC in Safari. the last time it synced was Saturday, September 21, 2013, 12:36:00 AM. I have W7 64bit Professional. I updated my iphone to ios7 the day after it came out.

For your PC, deslect the box next to Bookmarks in the Control Panel then reselect it.
On your iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Safari off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutest to re sync your Bookmarks.
When you go to the Control Panel on your PC, make sure your Safari selected. If not, click Options.

Reading list sync between iMac and iPad for offline reading

If I add to reading list on my iMac, and then go to the reading list on the iPad, all is OK. I can read the items, but only if I am connected to the internet. Is it possible to set up reading list that means the content of the page is also somehow cached to the ipad? for reading off line... Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
Thanks

Syncing iPad/iPhone Reading List Problem

iPad 3 - 16GB iOS 8.2
iPone 4 - iOS 7.1.2
iCloud - 3.1GB available
2 issues:
1. Reading list is not being synced between devices. If a bookmark is added to the reading list in the iPad, it does not sync to the iPhone (vice versa).
2. Adding bookmarks to the reading lists on both devices takes a long time. If I add a bookmark, I then have to wait at least 30 mins before adding another. If I try to add one sooner, I get the warning message: "Bookmarks are being synced. Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed."
This is a new problem that has cropped up for me only in the last few months. Prior to this, reading list/bookmarks syncing was working fine.

Hello eztyger,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your devices. If you are having syncing issues with the iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
