Syncing iOS bookmarks via iTunes doesn't work

Some background on my bookmarks. I always used a utility (Xmarks) to sync my bookmarks with their cloud service. With iCloud and Safari 5.0 this had some major problems and still does. So basically I copied over my bookmarks to Safari and continued using it. For a long time Safari and my iPhone had similar but not quite in-sync bookarks. A week or so ago, Safari 6 (which has been horribly buggy for me) deleted all my bookmarks after one restart. The bookmarks were on my iPhone. I didn't mind much because iTunes hadn't been syncing my bookmarks anyway.
I tried to fix that today to get my bookmarks back on my Mac. Turning off and on the bookmarks syncing for my iPhone in iTunes seemed to have no effect. Eventually after a restart of iTunes, I turned on bookmark syncing and it decided to sync my bookmarks. Unfortunately it deleted all my bookmarks on my iPhone. I did a restore and I'm back to where I was.
Any way to fix the bookmark syning via usb cable from Phone to Safari?
I'm running iTunes 10.7 on up-to-date snow leopard.

I would try another cable. Make sure to be connecting directly to the computer instead of a keyboard port or Hub. Try another computer.
Otherwise I would take it directly to Apple so they can either try a restore or determine if it's hardware related.

After update to iOS 7.0, iTunes doesn't work on my iPhone 4

The iTunes-App still opens on my iPhone - however, there's no content to be seen - I cannot search or download any items - it just stays blank. When I connect my iPhone to my laptop and open iTunes, there's no problem at all - my iTunes database of the laptop recognises my iPhone, it can be synchronised etc. It is just the iTunes-App on my iPhone that doesn't work. Any ideas?

YIPPIEH: in another forum I found the solution for my problem:
* you need to go to settings -> Safari -> data protection & security/privacy -> block cookies
* here the setting MUST NOT BE PUT to "ALWAYS" - because then iTunes won't work. If you put the setting to "third parties" or "never" you shouldn't have problems with iTunes anymore.
Seems to be a minor bug - but a pretty annoying one...

After upgrade to IOS 8.3 sync with iTunes doesn't work

After upgrade iPhone 6, iPad Air to IOS 8.3, the sync (over wifi, as well) to iTunes doesn't work anymore.
On iMAC iTunes, the last sync's hour and day appear different from what is recorded on mobile devices (iPhone and iPad); with IOS 8.2 and the previous iTunes' version the sync worked correctly: the dates are the same only for few seconds after syncronization, then the IOS devices show the syncronization's dates related to two weeks ago.
Thanks

you'll need to contact your carrier.

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

ITunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6

iTunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6. The white screen with gray tape above appears, and nothing more happens. Reinstalling/restoring iOS doesn't help. I have contacted support team in my country (Russia) by phone, but they could not solve the problem. Is there downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 available?

What printer are you using? Is it listed here:

Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work. The computer seems to get hung. What could be happening?

Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work. The computer seems to get hung during the back up stage. It says it is backing up the ipod but nothing happens, for hours. I eventually have to interrupt it and give up.

I have the latest itunes.
I tried resetting sync history.
For this section:
If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
Click Apply.
This doesn't seem to make sense for my situation. I don't sync anything between outlook and my ipod touch.
I have no other USB devices connected to my computer.
I have no other Windows users on my computer - only me and I am the administrator. However on my diagnostic, it said this user is not the administrator. Weird.
So I have tried to follow that you referred me to, but still I haven't got it working yet. Do you have any further suggestions?

Can I opt to only sync iPhone 4 via iTunes and NOT iCloud?

I only use the iCal, Contacts, and Mail parts of MobileMe. I sync all three via iTunes. I don't need to worry about any web storage or gallery or other stuff.
Because my MacBookPro is early 2008, I'm leery of upgrading to Lion, even though it's needed for iCloud. I don't want to deal with the decreased battery life or any downgrade in speed. My iPhone 4 is running the most current iOS.
If I don't upgrade to Lion, I accept that I can't migrate to iCloud via my MacBookPro.
Here are my questions:
1. If I don't physically initiate a migration to iCloud, will my .me/.mac mail accounts disappear or will I still be able to get my mail as usual using the mail apps on my MacBookPro and iPhone 4? Will I have to change any of the imap server settings after June 30?
2. For my contacts and iCal, will I be able to continue to sync to my iPhone 4 via iTunes, so that I can pretend iCloud doesn't exist? I realize any calendar/contacts changes wouldn't be immediately seen across all devices, but I don't need them to be--changes can wait until my next iTunes sync.
3. If I don't make any changes, will I be able to set up my iCloud stuff at a later date, after MobileMe is history?
4. If I simply MUST initiate a move to iCloud to "reserve my space" or whatever, is it something I could do via my iPhone or even on a newer computer at the Apple Store?
Basically, can I keep doing what I'm doing, postpone a Lion upgrade for now and ignore the move to iCloud, or will I break the internet?
Thank you in advance.

Yes - deselect them before you sync.
I'm assuming that you auto sync so if you do sync that way - go ahead and sync your iPad again. But don't disconnect the iPad yet. After the sync completes - click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes - then click on the apps tab on the right. Uncheck all of the iPhones apps under the list of apps to deselect them. When you have all of those apps deselected - click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. This will remove them from the iPad and iTunes will remember this the next time that you sync.

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not. I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes. I still have the same problem. Suggestions?

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not. I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes. I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord. Does anyone have further suggestions?

Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

I'm unable to sync my iphone via itunes

i dropped my iphone on its back... the phone is still working - when i call it, it rings,,, however, the screen is blank and black... i tried to restart it using the home buttom and top button... still didn't turn on.
i'm trying to sync my iphone via itunes on my windows pc - however, because i have a passcode lock on my phone, itunes sends an error message saying that it cannot sync my phone until i unlock my iphone by entering in the passcode.
i tried to do it, even with a blank screen, but it didn't work.
what can i do?

After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.

After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.

After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.
In what way? Your MyPhotoStream photos will show in in the Photos.app in the "Recently Added" album, but their is no longer a "My Photo Stream" album.
If you enabled "iCloud Photo Library Beta" in the "Video/Photos" Settings, disable it. This will prevent the Photo Stream from syncing from your Macs to the iOS 8 devices.

Updated my iPhone 4s to 6.0.1 and iTunes on my mac to 7.0 now itunes doesn't work

Updated my iPhone 4s to 6.0.1 and iTunes on my iMac to 7.0 now iTunes doesn't work. My iMac and iPhone will not sync. It just says waiting to start sync, step 1 of 6 for hours.
Any ideas?

Do not take it to a third party repair shop - downgrading causes problems and voids your warranty.
I had to unlock it so that i could really use it as a phone.
And that is the root of the problem. Unless you had your carrier unlock it, it was hacked and cannot be legitimately activated. Even if you don't care about warranty or problems, downgrading simply will not help an activation issue.
