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.

    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!

  • I cannot get iCloud to sync my mac reading list (bookmarks).

    I cannot get iCloud to sync my mac reading list (bookmarks) with my iPad and have tried several times unsuccessfully. Have had it connected to a power source AND have enabled the documents section on the iCloud backup. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade to Lion?

    I have installed and signed in to sync on both PC and Android tablet. My history has been synced but bookmarks have not come across to the tablet, although the appropriate box is ticked on both.
    I tried entering about:sync-progress on both machines. "Setup Complete" appears on the PC but on the tablet I am told that the address isn't valid.
    The sync tab that opens up lists my "Firefox Account" with no option to manage or disconnect.
    How can I get round this?

  • IPhone reading list/bookmarks gone

    My iPhone reading list and bookmarks have vanished. I know there is no way I could have deleted them myself. Yet everything else on my iPhone is there: apps, photos, everything else that is backed up to iCloud. Is there an isolated iCloud issue/outage going on? Should I try restoring from my last iPhone backup? I have no idea what is going on. I'd appreciate any help anyone could give me.

    It happened once or twice and hasn't happened since.  Sometimes when an iphone screws up, like any computer, things need to be turned off and back on.  What I do with my phone sometimes is reboot the phone by doing the following.  That resets everything and is handy to know.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears then let both buttons go and wait for the phone to restart.

  • Can I sync my iPhone contact list to my iPad?

    Is it possible to sync my iphone4 contacts to ipad2.

    You should be syncing your iphone to your contact program on your computer.
    You can sync your ipad to that contact program as well.

  • I just brought a new macbook pro but am hving problems syncing ipad/iphone 4

    i just got my new macbook pro. i used my time machine to back up old macbook and then used it to put all my files on new one but when i try to sync ipad i get transfere purchaes .. but when i do that all my things say there not allowed on this mac as im not autherised... erm my mac my ipad my files.. same itunes account logged into both.. whats the problem??? and the other option is to erase and sync .. but i would lose 2 movies and a tv serries plus music and apps????

    Try de authorizing your old mac and then authorising your new mac, that will sort all your apps out in the purchased section, regarding all your data, films etc on your ipad/iphone you will have to use a programme to get the  data from your iphone to new mac.  i had the same problem, i used to an app called "pod to Mac" which did the job for me by taking all my data off my iphone 4 and putting it onto my mac, i then opened the files on my mac with the relevant programmes like itunes etc and then synced my iphone to my new mac.
    hope that helps

  • Unable to sync iPad/iPhone

    My PC version of iTunes has stopped recognizing my components (iPad, iPhone, etc). It worked well previously. I have followed the tutorial (turn everything off/on, reload iTunes, etc) without success. Everything works on my laptop, so it appears to be the PC software. Suggestions anyone? I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7 and have been for almost 1 year now without issues. Help please. Thanks
    Paul

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you are using Windows 7 64 bit? I have been having the exact same problem and have narrowed it down to Microsoft Security Essentials on Win7 x64. Unfortunately I have not found a fix yet other than removing MSE. From what I can tell, the conflict only occurs on the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
    So a temporary solution is to uninstall MSE whenever you want to sync. Not a good solution, I know, but it will at least allow you to sync your iPad.

  • Syncing Ipad & iPhone in Seperate Folders

    Need some advice. I currently have an iPad and will be getting the iPhone 4s soon. I want to keep the apps, music, photo's and video's in seperate folders, so when I sync or backup a device it would save it in designated folder. Would you suggest making 2 seperate folder's 1 for the iPad & 1 for iPhone, I don't want the same apps, etc.,  on each device or visa versa. In iTunes "Edit" "Perferences" "Advance" settings I have created a folder for my iPad, should I do the same with the iPhone? and change folders through the Advance when I sync up each device ? or would this confuse iTunes ?

    How are you syncing your ipad right now?  Are you just syncing everything? You don't have to - you check off which items you want for the ipad. then when you get the iphone you check off different apps for that. This apple article has a screenshot of that in step #5
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1977
    If you're determined to have separate folders between your ipad & iphone, you might be better off having completely separate library database files. You can do a shift-start to choose between your iPad and iPhone library database and have them use different folders.
    Switching the folder location in one library database is guaranteed to be a mess, no matter how you think you'll always remember. If you have podcasts that auto download they might start downloading when you're in the wrong library, for example.
    itunes is designed to support multiple devices...maybe you're overthinking this?
    The backups will still be separate though and always go to that location in the article I posted above.

  • Reading List problems since iOS 8

    I have been using reading list to read articles when there's no wi-fi available. The problem is, since I have upgraded to iOS 8, my articles just won't open, instead I get an error message saying: "the operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted.". I have checked, and they are downloaded, and I am experiencing the same issue on my iPhone too. Is anyone experiencing the same issue, or know how to solve it?

    Hi Kinger84,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the nature and scope of the issues you are describing. If you are having multiple issues after a recent update to iOS 8, you may want to first try resetting your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If you are still having issues after a reset, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring the apps or your data. You may find the following article helpful:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Bookmarks and reading list problems

    Since the iOS7 upgrade, I've been unable to save bookmarks or add to the reading list.  The problem seems localized to my iPad, as Safari functions normally on other devices.  Suggestions for a fix would be appreciated.

    If you see a black bar at the top, Private Browsing is enabled. You have to turn it off.

  • Successfully using Exchange to Sync iPad, iPhone, Gmail (PC) contacts. If I lose my iPhone and contacts were erased I would lose them everywhere! Backup!

    I am successfully using Exchange to keep my contacts in sync on my ipad,iPhone and gmail(windows 7). But I think that if I lost my iPhone and someone cleaned out the contacts,then I would also lose the contacts on my Gmail and iPad. How can I do a regular backup of the contacts?

    Im not sure that you can restore your Google Contacts from the iPhone Backup.
    Try this: Go to gmail page on your desktop browser then in Contacts, click More and select "Restore Contacts".

  • Reading List Problems

         I can't seem to get Reading List syncing between my devices? Everything is up to date. Any ideaS?

    Open Safari on a device.
    From the menu bar tap the Bookmarks icon 
    Then tap Reading List.
    I noticed it took restarting my iPad before iCloud picked up the Reading List from Safari on my Mac the first time.

  • Reading list problem

    I had previously updated Safari in Snow Leopard and Reading List worked fine. After upgrading to Lion, all is well except readign list - when I activate it, the window slides over to view the list, but mearly duplicates the existing window multiple times - resembling a fanned out deck of cards ( see attached image). I cannot view my reading list. Yes, I have restarted Safari and re-booted several times.

    I had this exact same problem less than a few days ago and the way to resolve this issue (well it worked for me) is to do the following.
    With Safari open click the Safari tab to show the option of reset Safari.
    Click on reset Safari and then your be displayed with a window that askes if you "Are sure you want to reset Safari?"
    Before reseting Safari you may want to uncheck some of the boxes, I unchecked the reset top sites and my auto fill form text.
    when you are happy with your unchecked or checked selection then click the Reset button.
    Safari will reset its self and reopen a fresh.
    You should now be all fixed.
    I closed Safari at this stage and then reoped it and my reading list was fixed and still all my reading items where as I left them before I had the problem.
    Hope this helps.
