Syncing bookmarks question?

When I first got my iPhone, I synced my IE bookmarks. After that, I left it unchecked. I noticed today that the IE bookmarks were gone. If I do a snyc without bookmarks being checked, does it remove my bookmarks? I saw no need to sync them every time since that list rarely changes.

Syncing is not merging - the way syncing works is that the most recent change is used to drive the sync. So, if you delete a bookmark on the iPhone, it's deleted from the Safari bookmarks on the computer at the next sync, since that deletion was the most recent change for that bookmark. There is an option to replace the iPhone bookmarks with the computer's bookmarks available in the Advanced section of the Info tab.

Syncing bookmarks using Dropbox – small problem

I recently found an article on how to sync safari bookmarks using Dropbox. Article can be found here: http://macs.about.com/od/CloudServices/qt/Sync-Safari-Bookmarks-Using-Dropbox.ht m
I'm using a latest 27" iMac, running Lion as my main work machine, along with a MacBook Pro 15" running Leopard.
I've followed instructions in the article and got my MBP to sync with my iMac.
The problem occurs when I add a new bookmark on my iMac, it seems to create a new .plist in the safari library folder as opposed to updating the one in my Dropbox. Thus not syncing. I haven't tried the other way i.e adding a new bookmark on my MBP.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks

Hi..
MacBook Pro 15" running Leopard.
If the Mac running Leopard can be upgraded to Lion, you can enable iCloud then sync Bookmarks via Wi-Fi.
Lion's requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare

Syncing Bookmarks manually, not thru iCloud?

The Scenario: 2 Macs (OS X 10.1.1), 2 iOS devices (iOS 8.1.1) all syncing Mail, Contacts, Calendar through iCloud to all four devices just fine -- we don't want to alter this process.
The Issue: Mac 1 needs to sync its Bookmarks to iOS device 1 and Mac 2 needs to sync its Bookmarks to iOS device 2. (Yes, there is a good reason for differing bookmarks between the Macs; they are used for different functions).
It used to be that iTunes had a check the box "Sync Bookmarks [when iOS is plugged into this Mac]" but I can't find it anymore --
The Question: anybody know where the equivalent of the check the box went (and where I can find it), or if it is really gone .... any alternative ideas [like, maybe, can bookmarks be exported from a Mac, emailed to an iOS device, and then opened and added to the iOS device?)

E-mailing should work. Then copy, paste, and bookmark.

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!

How to sync bookmarks with those on my iMac?

IT would really be helpful to have the bookmarks on my iMac on my iPad Air as well, but i cannot figure out how to do it. I usually use Chrome on my macs, but i've also exported those bookmarks to Safari on the Mac. Can anyone please tell me how to sync bookmarks.
THanks!

Hi there
I bought an Ipad AIR yesterday, and noted that chrome will run on it as per all my other devices, HTC android, PC, Linux.
While I can see all the history of the other devices and the bookmarks, the tabs and listed favs do not appear in Chrome on the Air when I login
I've logged in / out across all devices still no joy.
Any one any thoughts ?or is this an apple feature on the AIR.
thanks

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.

SYNCING BOOKMARKS WITH iTUNES RATHER THAN MOBILE ME

I used to sync my bookmarks with iTunes. Now it says that my bookmarks are being synched via the Web with MobileMe. But I'm not using MobileMe, and I have the Fetch feature turned off. It says that "over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone," but I can't find where that can be done. I want to sync bookmarks with iTunes and not MobileMe. What do I do?
Thanks.

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MobileMe account.
Bookmarks > Off.

How to sync bookmark on my icloud?

Hello,
When I open icloud control panel on my Mac (OS X 10.8.5), I couldn't see bookmark and the message said that this account is not main account for icloud.
How to change main icloud account and how to sync bookmark on my icloud?
Please advise me.
Thanks.

On my mac calendars are intended to be private calendars that aren't synced, if you merely want all your calendars synced delete any calendars that are on my mac (or just uncheck them to hide them - make your default calendar an iCloud calendar) and just use iCloud calendars.
If you have any appointments in your on my mac calendars, double click them to edit and change the calendar to an iCloud calendar before deleting or hiding.

My backup sync seems to have been erased, and i didnt use 'clear sync data', how can i recover my sync or see my sync bookmarks?

I recently formated my computer, and reinstalled Firefox. I used the Sync feature, and selected the option "Replace all data on this computer with my sync data". However, nothing happened, and my quota ( i only checked later) seem to be an unusual size for the amount of bookmarks i had.
I am pretty sure i havent erased my data by accident, since i only joined manage account page after things went wrong.
I have synced my bookmarks sucessfully before, when i switched from Firefox 32 to 64 bits.
Anyone knows how can i see my synced bookmarks on server to check if it was somehow erased, and how to recover in that case?

Hi Shaktar!
By any chance did you used the Recovery/Sync Key to set up your account again or you resetted it? If you reset the Recovery Key your data was erased at the same time.
The Recovery key is used to encrypt your data and if you lose it, the encrypted data that we have is unusable.

I can sync bookmarks on my Firfox for android, but folders aren't sync, i can only get bookmarks from bookmarks main folder. Is a bug or a config issue?

I can sync bookmarks in firefox for android, but only the ones that are on Bookmarks main folder, the folders create below the main folder are not synchronized. Is this a bug or a config issue?
Thanks

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Sync bookmarks with shared computer at work

I'd like to share my bookmarks, not passwords, across devices. Seems straightforward for my own PC, laptop, phone. We hot-desk at work, each with our own Windows login. When I use FF there, I have my own set of bookmarks so assume it's specific to my login. So if I sync to that computer, will FF just sync my own bookmarks, or might it combine those from other users? Or might my bookmarks be syncd to someone else's FF too and clutter them up?
And while I'm here - can I set it to sync bookmarks but not passwords?
Thanks.

Hi!
Firefox Profiles are specific to the Operative System user. If you login with other user, you will have a different Firefox profile in place.
That said, Firefox Sync is configured on a profile basis. So no problem at all in the configuration you are looking for.
Regarding Passwords. Once you have set up your account, you can go to the Sync Tab in the Preferences window and you will see a list of things that you can synchronize. Uncheck those ones that you don't wan to synchronize (including passwords).

iSync is for syncing contacts and calendars to third-party mobile phones via a USB or Bluetooth connection. iSync has never synced bookmarks and does not sync anything between computers.
Do you actually mean MobileMe Sync? If so, the forum for that is here:

ITunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPod

I'm suddenly getting "iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPod...because the iPod disconnected" every single time I connect to iTunes.
Haven't seen this one before - any (good) ideas?

Never mind - deleted some Safari bookmarks created by my Nokia N82, and the problem went away...

Cannot Sync Bookmarks

Hello,
I cannot sync bookmarks to my iPhone 4, no problems with my iPad 2, and other iPhones, but my main phone doesn't sync. I receive the iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPhone because the bookmarks are in use by the iPhone. message, but I've tried rebooting, restoring backup, etc. Nothing has worked.
Any help would be most appreciated.
-Scott

I sort of solved this one. I had to delete by registry entries and other application data for iTunes. I probably did more than necessary, but now I can sync bookmarks again.
I probably was not an upgrade thing, but rather a restore thing - I'd recently suffered a hard drive crash, although I'm sure I had no problems with 2.2.1.
I'm just happy it's working again!
