Transfer Safari bookmarks to another iphone help

Hi all,
I am thinking about upgrading my iPhone 4 to a 5. However, as I use my current phone a lot for work when out and about, I have a lot of useful Safari bookmarks saved on it. I will need to transfer these bookmarks to a new phone. However, on my home PC I have a completely different set of internet favourites saved.  I understand (and I may well be completely incorrect!), that synching will match up the favourites on the phone on PC, but this is want I want to avoid. I just want to be able to transfer the saved bookmarks on the old phone to a new phone, without matching them up to the PC.
Is this at all possible, or is it a pipedream? Alternatively (and hopefully!), I'm missing something really obvious and simple!
Thanks.

    how do i transfer safari bookmarks from an iphone 4s to a new iphone 6 plus?

    All you need to do is make a backup of your iPhone 5, either in iCloud or iTunes and then restore your new iPhone 6 to that backup. When you say you are getting this message about Find My iPhone, have you set that up already in the new phone? Importing photos from the iPhone to the computer does not require Find My iPhone, just an import utility on the computer, depending on your computer OS.

  • How copy safari bookmarks to another mac

    I would like to transfer Safari bookmarks from one Mac to another Safari operating on a different Mac

    Hi refalci,
    The easiest way to copy your Safari bookmarks to a different Mac is to export them from Mac #1, and import the resulting .html file into Safari on Mac #2.
    You can copy the .html file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself and open it on the second Mac.
    You indicated that you are using Mavericks OS X on your computer, so here are the instructions for Safari 6 or 7.  
    Safari 6/7 (Mavericks): Import and export bookmarks
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17154
    Open the Safari application, then:
    Export bookmarks:
    Choose File > Export Bookmarks. The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html.”
    On the second computer, open Safari and import the file that you emailed or saved to a thumb drive:
    Import bookmarks:
    Choose File > Import Bookmarks. Most bookmark files have an extension of .html or .plist.After you import bookmarks, they appear at the bottom of the sidebar in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.
    Hope that helps ...

  • Enable the extension to keep chrome bookmarks up to date with the safari bookmarks on your iphone

    on my laptop icloud comes up and tells me i need to enable the extension to keep chrome bookmarks up to date with the safari bookmarks on your iphone! if someone could help me i would be grateful !!

    Once you click "get new recovery key" all data on your sync account is erased forever. There is no way to get that back. If you have data on your iPhone you cannot move it from your iPhone to desktop Firefox. the iPhone sync is 1-way only. Unless you have a Firefox profile somewhere, you will ahve to manually rebuild your bookmarks.

  • Does firefox home sync the safari bookmarks on my iphone, or does it only sync the bookmarks in the app firefox home?

    Does Firefox home, sync the Safari bookmarks on my iPhone? Or does it only sync the bookmarks in the app Firefox Home? Now I have two different sets of bookmarks. One is from Safari and one synced from Firefox located in Firefox Home.

    Does anyone have an answer? Help!

  • Troubleshooting-iPhone contact and safari bookmarks syncing on mac - help!

    I did the update this morning. Everything is working fine but the syncing of my contacts [address book] and the safari bookmarks. they do not change at all when i try doing a syncing. I have more bookmarks in my safari mac than on the iPhone safari. the same happens with my contacts - if I update the information directly on my computer and try syncing it to the iPhone it does not update the info. Can anyone help? thanks.

    mfoto,
    Sync History is what keeps track of what has been synced and what has been changed.
    As a first step you might want to try reseting sync history as mentioned in this article:

  • Transfer Safari bookmarks to new MacBook Pro

    I just got a new MB Pro yesterday and would like to transfer my bookmarks from my older SR MB. So I "exported" them to a jump drive and then transferred that file "Safari Bookmarks.html" to my new desktop. I then went into Safari and tried the "import" option. However, I get an message that says "can not import bookmarks. Unable to read any bookmarks in Safari Bookmarks.html.
    I don't know why this process can't be simpler? I've had the same problems with Windows Bookmarks (Favorites) for years now. I did manage to drag the entire Safari Bookmarks folder on to the Bookmarks Bar, but all these bookmarks are in sub-folders under "Safari Bookmarks.html".

    Move the file ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist over in the Finder, where ~ is the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon.
    First of all, when I export my bookmarks, the produced is called "safari bookmarks.html". Moving this file as per the about directions did not make Safari use the new bookmark list. I then tried renaming the file to bookmarks.PLIST and that didn't help either. I must be doing something wrong. Is it necessary to reboot for the change to take effect?

  • How do you transfer Safari bookmarks to a new MAC?

    I have a G4 Tower (Jaguar) but just got an iMac G5 (that will be Tiger). How do I transfer my Safari bookmarks to my new MAC? THX, Barb

    Your new iMac has a feature as part of the setup to migrate all your existing user settings (and applications if you wish) from your G4 (you connect the two systems using a Firewire cable), so that's probably the easiest way.
    If you just want the Safari bookmarks, though, and nothing else, they're in your users' Library -> Safari folder, the file names Bookmarks.plist. Just copy that file to the same folder on your new iMac.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have lost by safari bookmarks on my iphone

    I have recently downloaded the itunes update, but after syncing with my iphone I have lost all the safari bookmarks.
    It states that I should be able to customise the syncing on the phone but I seem to be left with only icloud tabs.
    Can anyone help??

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the phone has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Safari Bookmarks suddenly all missing, help!?

    Using Safari with my ipad, with the current software. All of my bookmarks have disappeared! The only sub folder listed is favorites which is empty!
    I have researched this problem and have yet to find a solution! Heres what Ive tried:
    1. Closing all applications
    2. Erasing cookies and data
    3. Erasing history
    4. Restarting device
    5. Powering device off for extended period and powering back on
    6. Turning icloud off/on (wasnt using this feature anyway)
    7. Adjusting safari options
    I have read about the files changing extensions and some have had success with switching the extension back, but I dont see where I can even access these potential files if they still exist on my ipad.
    please! Your help is needed!

    I wonder if this has anything to do with being on the .Mac website yesterday and syncing my data?
    A very strong possibility. Have a look in your Finder: Your User Account>Library>Safari folder. Right or control key/click on Bookmarks.plist>Get Info. The "modified date" will tell you the last time the file was changed.
    To which source did you synch your bookmarks? There may be a copy of the bookmark in your iDisk folder on your desktop. If so, drag that copy to the above location, replacing the existing version, then restart Safari.
    Instances such as these make Time Machine or an external backup, or even duplicate copy of the Bookmarks invaluable. Do you have an external or duplicate copy anywhere? At any time, did you export your Safari bookmarks over to another browser such as Firefox?

  • How to copy my Safari Bookmarks to another apple ID device

    Hi all,
    I have my own iMac with my own Safari bookmarks.
    My wife used to share my bookmarks on iMac, but now she has her own iPad with her apple id, so she can't see my bookmarks on iPad.
    I already tried to export my bookmarks and send to her by email (html file), but it's not working properly.
    Any of you have the solution for my problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    If the privacy issue doesn't bother you, you can sync bookmarks between devices via iCloud.

  • How can I import Safari bookmarks to my iPhone 6

    I simply want to export Safari bookmarks from my Mac to iPhone 6. I do not want to use cloud. ITunes lets me sync contacts and calendars (along with music, movies and all the other crap I do not want to sync) but does not offer me the option  of syncing safari bookmarks. How the **** do I do it?

    How? You use simply iCloud. That's your only choice.
