Syncing bookmarks from iPad

I recently had a crash that wiped out much of the personal data on my iMac. But my contacts and, more vitally, my Safari bookmarks still exist on my iPad2. I am afraid if I sync, the only thing that will happen is the iPad will duplicate my iMac data, wiping out the bookmarks and contacts that I need. Is there a way to safely transfer my bookmark and contact data from an iPad2 to an iMac?

  • Unable to Sync bookmarks from ipad to itunes.

    I have been completely unable to sync my safari bookmarks from my ipad 2 to windows PC.
    In itunes, where according to this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296) under the 'info' tab I should be able to click sync, I only get the following message:
    'Your bookmarks are being synced with your ipad over the air from icloud' and get no other option.
    Yet when I log into my icloud account, there is no safari or bookmarks, despite the fact that on my Ipad icloud settings I said to have Safari synced!
    Anyone know a way to get round this problem?
    Or failing that, ANY way to copy my bookmarks onto my laptop? (aside from emailing them individually).
    Thanks so much,
    Nicky

    For now I have solved the problem, and it seems to come down to iCloud working better on Windows. I open Parallels running Windows 8 and updated xmarks in chrome and downloaded my good clean bookmarks. Then i installed icloud control panel and the icloud chrome extension (why is there no Mac version of this?) and switched over to Safari on Mac and the bookmarks quickly synced to the good clean version and showed up on my iOS devices as well.
    It might have been partially the 2 computer thing, but no matter what Apple should have the same functionality they offer Windows Users on the Mac! I know they want you to use Safari, but I do not and will not. I use Chrone and Firefox, and will continue to do so!

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Syncing bookmarks from Firefox in iTunes for 3GS?

    When you sync your iPhone it gives you the option to sync bookmarks from IE or Safari, but I use Firefox and this doesn't show on the menu... what am I doing wrong?

    Firefox does not show as a browser to select for syncing bookmarks since syncing bookmarks with Firefox is not supported. You should be able to import your Firefox bookmarks with Safari on your computer followed by syncing your iPhone Safari bookmarks with Safari on your computer.

  • ITunes crashing when trying to sync books from iPad

    When trying to sync books from iPad to iTunes, iTunes crashes causing Microsoft error message. Any ideas?

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

  • Sync Bookmarks from Mobile to Desktop

    I'm using Firefox 19 on Windows and Firefox Mobile on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android).
    The Sync from my Desktop to the Phone works perfectly. But now I am searching for a way to get Bookmarks from Firefox Mobile to my Desktop Firefox. Is this possible?
    I can add Bookmarks on the Phone, but unfortunaly i can't find them on my Desktop Firefox, even after pressing "Sync" on both devices.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Is it possible to sync bookmarks from Mobile to Desktop Firefox?

  • How do I sync bookmarks from safari on my pc to my iPhone with the iCloud

    How do I sync bookmarks from safari on my pc to my iPhone with the iCloud?

    Do you have Windows 7 or XP? If you have Win7, install the iCloud control panel for Windows and set it up there (Ignore the fact that it shows IE in the control panel, once you check it off, you'll be able to select Safari).
    If you have Windows XP, you don't.

  • HT1386 I have synced app from ipad to laptop.  How do I open the app or use it?

    I have synced apps from ipad to laptop. How dow I open the app and use it ?

    iOS apps will only run under iOS.  They cannot be opened, run or used on any other operating system, so they cannot be used on your laptop.  The sync and transfer of purchases apps is merely to keep a copy of the app as backup on your laptop.  While you can re-download any app you have from your iTunes/App Store account, that will only get your the latest release version.  If you want to keep older or previous releases around as backup, then your only copies will be the ones you've copied over to your laptop for safekeeping.

    No, this is not necessary or correct. It's not necessary to transfer to and from the iTunes library. When you sign into your iBooks account on each device you have iBooks installed in:
    iBooks > Store > Purchased > shows everything you bought > download from there wirelessly.

  • How to sync bookmark from iPhone to ipad

    Iphone 4S bookmarks won't sync with new ipad or desktop browser (13" MBA last edition).  I have icloud on and try every single thing I can imagine, including sync with itune to no avail.  Any one else having this issue?  Any real help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
    The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes purchases.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Not syncing Safari bookmarks from ipad

    i have some bookmarks on my iPad tthat I want to sync to my Mac so I can then sync them to my iPhone. I have sync Safari bookmarks turned on iTunes but they don't sync To the Mac.
    i Must be doing something wrong but I don't know what. I tried searching Apple support And these forums but couldn't find anything.
    does anyone have any advice on this

    Hi needleman_mark,
    Happy Holidays!
    The best way to keep your bookmarks synced between your iPad, iPhone and Mac is to use iCloud.  Check your iCloud settings on all three devices and make sure Safari is turned on.  Click on the link below for complete details.  I've highlighted some of the key information for you:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203519
    Troubleshooting on iOS
    First, confirm that you’ve turned on iCloud Bookmarks:
    On iOS 6 or iOS 7, go to Settings > iCloud and check that Safari is turned on.
    On iOS 5, go to Settings > iCloud and check that Bookmarks is turned on.
    Next, try each of these steps, testing after each step to see if the issue is resolved:
    Try installing the latest version of iOS supported by your device.
    Go to Settings > iCloud and make sure you are signed in to the same iCloud account that you are using on your other supported devices.
    Make sure that your iOS device is online by attempting to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List will not update in the Safari app. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Troubleshooting on OS X Lion or later
    First, confirm that you've turned on iCloud bookmarks:
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
    Make sure that the checkbox labeled Safari (or Bookmarks) is selected.
    Next, try each of these steps, testing after each step to see if the issue is resolved:
    Make sure that you are using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. If necessary, review the steps for finding your OS X version information.
    Make sure that your computer is online by attempting to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List will not update in Safari. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Wishing you all the best this Holiday season!
