TS4001 safari bookmarks won't sync (iphone-macbook-icloud)

Have tried everything - restarting, resetting, and couple of other forum tricks..
For instance, on my macbookpro there's no file called com.apple.safari.plist (see other discussion)
Please help.

The file is there, but is in your user Library, hidden by default in Lion (hold the option key while clicking on the Finder's 'Go' menu to see it). However the relevant file is actually (user)/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist, and in any case you shouldn't tamper with it.
Please see this page for help with difficulties syncing Bookmarks:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks
and I don't know whether you were expecting to see the Bookmarks at icloud.com but they do not appear there.

  • Safari-Bookmarks won't sync with iCloud and other devices, MobileMe still "active"?

    Hello, I've got a problem with my iMac runnning 10.7.5
    "He" does not want to sync bookmarks (safari) from the local  iMac to anywhere else.
    (I also use a Macbook white, iPad 1 and iPhone 4).
    Not to other devices, not to iCloud.
    I can switch off and on the "sync bookmarks"-checkbox as often as i want - nothing happens after "merge".
    One ore maybe interesting Information:
    In my system-Settings i can still click on "MobileMe" and the button "move to iCloud" ist still shown.
    If I press the button, I see the Erorr-message "mobileme has ended" or something linke this.
    If I start the MobileMe-"Application", I get an error after some seconds "service not available".
    Some months ago i changed from a older iMac to the newer one (using TimeMachine-Restore).
    I can not remember if the problem came with this switch or not.
    Any hints?
    Thanks!
    Greetings from the cold Germany.

    Yes, I could disconnect from Mobileme but this does not change anything regarding the problem.
    bookmarks are still not transfered to other devices.
    In the system-Settings, the mobileMe-Entry is still available and I coud try to "sign on to mobileme"
    Disable and enable bookmark-sync after disconnecting from mobileme does not change anything.
    The Merge of the Bookmars (question comes after disable and enable again) takes ohly 0,0005 seconds to merge. Very fast.
    One more thing: if I log on to iCloud, I can nowhere find anything regarding bookmarks.
    Where to find the bookmarks online normally??? I remember some years ago, using the running mobileme-service, i could access my bookmarks from any pc all around the world...
    Any further hints?

  • Safari bookmarks will not sync after installing icloud

    New bookmarks that I have added after installing icloud are not being synced to my ipad

    Hi Midlake
    You may have already resolved this? but I just realised you may have had the same problem as myself.
    1. Connect your iPhone
    2. Go to iTunes and click on your iPhone icon in the left hand panel
    3. Click Sync tab (you will see sync contacts, mail accounts etc.)
    4. IMPORTANT scroll down the page as the sync bookmarks is hidden!
    Hope this works

  • How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

    How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
    I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
    How to do this, without iCloud?

    You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want.  Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way.  While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe. 
    Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

  • My iPhone won't sync calendar to iCloud, only to Google calendar, which I've never used. Events from iCloud sync to the phone and to Google.  Huh???

    My iPhone 3GS (ios 5.1) won't sync calendar to iCloud, only to Google calendar, which I never authorize or use.  Yet when I entere an event on the iCloud calendar, it syncs to the iPhone (and to Google calendar) just fine.  Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iCloud cannot sync with Google calendars, so it would seem that you may be using the wrong calendar account. Click on the calendar button in the top right hand corner of the calendar app and check which calendar you are adding your events too.

  • Trying to sync iPhone with iCloud.. says too many devices.Remove one

      What is the process to remove iOS devices from your iCloud.  Trying to sync iPhone with iCloud under the settings and it says too many devices.  Remove one.
    Thanks

    I suspect the message is referring to you having too many devices associated with the Apple ID you are using for iCloud.  You can have a maximum of 10 devices associated with an Apple ID, 5 of which can be computers.  This article explains how to remove a device from your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.

  • Safari bookmarks & history not syncing with iPhone

    All of my history, readling list and bookmarks on Safari on my Macbook are no longer syncing with my iPhone. initially, my Safari on my macbook pro was syncing perfectly through sept. 2013. ever since then, nothing, including my history and bookmarks, from safari on my mac will sync anymore with the safari first on my iphone 4s and now my iphons 5s. i've already turned off the syncing options on both devices, turned them back on and restarted both devices, as per the suggestions from another post. STILL NOTHING. And with the update to the iOS on iphone as a few months ago, there is no longer the option to turn on and off the safari book sync options under settings on the iPhone or on iTunes. Help please!

    pleeeeeease reply

  • ITunes won't sync between MacBook Pro and iPhone 6

    I have a new iPhone 6 and tried to sync (by cable) my iTunes on the phone to my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard). I get a message that the MacBook won't sync to the iPhone because the iPhone iTunes needs to be updated.  Also, in iTunes on the MacBook, the device (iPhone) is not even recognized for syncing.  I thought iTunes on the phone would be updated by syncing with the MacBook!  Any advice?  I cannot find a way to update iTunes directly on the iPhone.  One last quirk, even though the message says it couldn't sync, some songs appear on the phone!

    Opps,
    I should have also said is it a Received At ID ?
    If it is try deleting it and then re-adding it.

  • IPhone won't sync with MacBook Pro

    My iPhone 4s won't sync with my MacBook Pro.
    Running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
    iPhone 7.1
    iTunes 11.1.5
    Last time I synced was March 17.  Can't remember if there's been updates on the phone.  None on the laptop.
    I'm so annoyed.
    I've done the usual shutdown/on again stuff.  Just can't get it to work.
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    Nevermind.  After reading through a bunch of fixes, one suggested resetting my modem, duh!!
    I certainly know to do that when the laptop is acting up, had no idea that would fix the iPhone too!!
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

    I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
    Any ideas?!

    Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself.  When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.  Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now.  If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

  • My bookmarks won´t sync to my iPhone. Why?

    When I sync my iPhone with my Mac, only tabs and history will sync. Not the bookmarks.
    Why? How do I solve this?

    Hi DabneyR,
    If you are using iCloud syncing for your Contacts and Calendars, you will want to sync your Safari Bookmarks with iCloud as well (in the iCloud settings on the iPhone and iCloud System Preferences on the Mac).
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    You typically don't want to sync that data with both iTunes and iCloud as you could end up with duplicates.
    If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • TS4001 I have two mac mini, my safari bookmarks aren't syncing

    Both my OSX  are update. I signed in preference on both machines. I dont know why it isn't working.
    It is for my wife account, i'm trying to help her

    Well, I went through all the various online suggestions to get my Safari Bookmarks to sync up between my 3 computers but it's a FAIL. Period. I'm running latest software: Lion 10.7.2 and Safari 5.1.2. I decided to sign up for Xmarks and that works perfectly. Apple could learn something from these guys. So, don't torture yourself trying to de-bug iCLoud Bookmarks syncing... it simply doesn't work reliably for most users. Google Xmarks and give it a try. Xmarks will NOT sync your mobile Safari's bookmarks, though. But, Xmarks is free, so no complaints!

  • IPhone 4s won't sync with macbook pro OS 10.7.5

    I'm Duane, and I'm frustrated.   My wife recently upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and gave me her 4s.   It used to sync ical very well until I purchased iCloud space.   I've deleted iCloud, but when I try to sync iPhone and ical (onMac Book Pro) I get this prompt: "The iPhone 'Duane…' could not me synced because this computers no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone."    Then I am directed to "choose Store > Authorize this computer."   Which I have done so at least four times, with no results.   Can you help me?

    Did you authorize your computer for all the Apple IDs used to purchase apps an other media on your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)?

  • Aren't Safari bookmarks supposed to sync between computers?

    I think that Safari bookmarks are suppose to be the same across all of one's computers running the same OS. But that is not the case between my iMac running OS X Mountain Lion and my MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion. Any help?

    OK, the service list is updated when you sign in.
