Syncing Safari Bookmarks iOS 7.0.3

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3 which I have been syncing everything but Safari Bookmarks and reading list on my Mac (running Mavericks). I have not syncd those items because I use a completely different organization and number of bookmarks that the Mac...there are enough on the Mac to choke a horse.
I just got a new iPad and am trying to find a way to sync Bookmarks/Reading list between the iPhone and iPad, but not the Mac or MBP. The only idea I have come up with so far is to sync them to a different iCloud account. The problem is that it would possibly double my Calendar entries (this happened once before when I backed up to the Mac and iCloud) and would be a one time affair. I have pretty much concluded that the system simply is not designed to do what I have in mind. If anyone has an idea, I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks

Some people have problems to with the music sync but anyone has the same problem but with the photos? iTunes doesn´t count the number of photos that suposse to be listed when you select your album on itunes/device/photos... I have once the problem with the music but it cames right when i resync my playlist.
Thnks!
Test on iPhone 5 and iPad2 Mavericks iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3 Same problem with iPhoto 9.4.3 and 9.5.

Hi Mary ..
Afraid not but if you decide to use iCloud and you're iPhone is running iOS 8, (according to your profile), hold off until you can upgrade your Mac to Yosemite.

How to sync Safari bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air?

How does one transfer, or sync Safari bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air without involving iCloud?

Give Xmarks a try, they have an iOS app as well. It will not sync directly to Safari on the iPad, you open the links through the app.

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!

Sync Safari / Bookmarks and now there are gone!! HELP!!vious settings? Wh

i synced Safari / Bookmarks for the first time yesterday and now all my bookmark folders are gone.
Can I restore to the pre

Hi S Crawford,
I'm afraid it's likely that they're gone for good. To double check, go to http://bookmarks.mac.com and login to see if your bookmarks have synched to there.
If they are present there, check your sync settings in the System Preferences -> .Mac area to see if you can synch them back to the computer.
If they're not present there then they're gone...
If you want to backup the bookmarks manually in future, copy this file to a safe location:
Hard drive -> Users -> Your username -> Library -> Safari -> Bookmarks.plist

Problem syncing Safari Bookmarks onto the New Ipad

I need help syncing Safari bookmarks via Macbook(not icloud compatible) onto the New Ipad.

You need to connect the ipad to the computer then make sure safari is set to sync in itunes and complete a sync, it will sync that way.
You can go thru anything else you want to sync also and set that before you actualy sync. If your gonna sync then only do it once.

Sync Safari Bookmarks

I own an iPhone 3G with OS 3.1.3. Today after a sync with iTunes 9.1 (79) on my MBP with MacOS X 10.6.3 I noted that the Safari bookmarks on my iPhone were not in sync with my laptop.
After a first look, as I understand, now I need to sync the bookmarks through the mobile me cloud.
Is it so? If yes, I don't want to send my personal data (email, calendar, contacts) over a cloud. I don't trust a cloud. So, please, is a way to sync these data as I was used to do with the previous versions, that is directly without passing through a cloud? Thanks

With a MobileMe account, you are not required to sync contacts, calendar events, or Safari bookmarks over the air with your iPhone or with your Mac, but not doing so defeats a purpose or benefit with a MobileMe account.
Even when syncing Safari bookmarks over the air with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, you can also sync bookmarks direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, but doing so may duplicate the bookmarks on your iPhone. You can do one or the other, or both at the same time.
If Safari bookmarks are not syncing properly when synced direct via the iTunes sync process, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application in your Applications folder.
Are you syncing Address Book contacts and iCal calendar events with your Mobile online contacts and calendar with your Mac? If so, this is being done over the air.

Syncing safari bookmarks icloud

My ipad work with ios 7.1.1, ipad third generation 16 G with wifi
i have synchronise my safari bookmarks on my ipad and my imac, but they are not in the same place and many of them are doubled
i must always rearrange them as i like...
what can i do to fix that ?
thanks

Hello there anisette,
It sounds like you are trying to sync your iCloud Bookmarks, but they aren't syncing correctly between your devices, and some are duplicated as well. That's not fun, but I have an article here that should help you get this resolved. I would start with using this section of the following article to help you resolve the duplicate Bookmarks:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4001
Troubleshooting duplicate bookmarks
When you are troubleshooting or deleting duplicate bookmarks, it's especially important to make sure you have a copy of your bookmarks.
You may be able to remove duplicate bookmarks using the same tools you use to manage your bookmarks.
In Safari on a Mac, review and edit your bookmarks by selecting Bookmarks > Show (All) Bookmarks. Unless you are using a custom configuration, you will have a single Bookmarks Bar and a single Bookmarks Menu collection. If you have multiple copies of the same bookmarks collections, those collections may contain the same content. Your bookmarks could be duplicated because you have multiple copies of the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu collections. If so, you may want to delete the extra collections.
In Internet Explorer on a Windows-based PC, you can manage bookmarks (known as Favorites in Internet Explorer), by clicking the Star icon in the upper-right section of Internet Explorer, or by pressing Alt+C.
In Firefox on a PC, click the bookmarks menu button, then select Show All Bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+B).
In Google Chrome on a PC, click the Chrome button, then select Bookmarks > Bookmark Manager (Ctrl+Shift+O).
If your bookmarks are duplicated in a way that isn't manageable through a few simple changes, or if it appears that it will take a long time to manually clean up your bookmarks, you may want to use a third-party application. There are a variety of third-party solutions for bookmarks management for Safari, including Safari Prairiefire. See the Firefox Add-Ons page or the Chrome Web Store for third-party solutions for those browsers.
Note: The default bookmarks sets for each browser will also push to all your devices. If you are using the same browser on multiple devices, you may see more than one copy of the default bookmarks set appear on all your devices.
Then use the same article to troubleshoot either your Mac, or your iPad, depending on which one is having the issue syncing.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

How to sync Safari bookmarks to my iPad2?

I've had my iPad2 for a few months now, and I noticed that my iMac Safari bookmarks are more current than those on my iPad2, even though I think I'm set up for them to be kept current using iCloud. I use the cable to sync with iTunes on my iMac, and I've set it up to use iCloud storage. Obviously, I'm probably causing a conflict somehow, so please review how to ensure the iPad2 bookmarks are current with the iMac.

This generally worked for me (finally!), though I think there is still a tricky place where your bookmarks in Safari on the iPad "over-write" those on the iMac. I was expecting some type of merge where bookmarks that were different in either system would be added to the other, but that may be expecting too much.
I would also suggest two slight modifications/additions (though I have not thoroughly tested these):
In step 3 - press "Keep on my iPad" after you turn off Bookmarks
In step 5 - back in your iPad, leave Bookmarks "Off"
I am disappointed that the iPad user guide fails to adequately describe how this process works. If you have both an iPad and an iMac, syncing the bookmarks seems like a pretty important function to get right.

How do I sync Safari bookmarks to update on iPad?

Years ago, when I first had the iPhone and iTunes on my Mac, Safari bookmarks would always update from bookmarks on my Mac and reflect accordingly on the iPhone. I also see that bookmarks do not update on my iPad now either. How do I get back the behavior from the 'good old days' to make safari bookmarks update when I sync my iPad and iPhone through iTunes on the Mac? There must be some settings that have been changed, but I have not been able to search them out in settings.
Please Help,
TIA,
Ken

Just posting here has made me start searching other similar posts, and while the exact answer was not written here I began searching my iTunes settings and saw that iCloud is the culprit. I do not use iCloud as it keeps giving me an error message that my username is wrong. What a world, I have no idea how to fix that nor do I care about iCloud. I simply want my phone to sync with my computer. I did find that settings to turn off iCloud were on my phone and I suppose also on my iPad which I will look at next.
I turned off all iCloud links on my iPhone and now the bookmarks came beautifully over from my computer to my iPhone.
Thanks Apple for having these forums to help users.

How to sync Safari bookmarks between various Macs?

I own a desktop iMAC and a Mac Book Pro, but most of my work is done in the iMAC, However, I'd like to sync my Safari bookmarks in my MBP in order to have the same bookmarks in it too.
Being a mobileme subscriber, I have set it up in the iMAC and the MBP to sync the Favorites too. But it doesn't seem to work as the bookmarks in my MBP are completely different from those which I'm after, i.e. the ones in my iMAC.
Where am I going wrong?

HI,
Try MobileMe: Resetting sync data
Then open System Preferences / MobileMe - Sync
Select Bookmarks in the list and click Sync.
