Unable to sync bookmarks from Safari

I have been unable to sync my bookmarks to my iPad from my MacBook Pro. It does not work from either iTunes or iCloud. Why doesn't this work? Am I missing a step??
Thanks

If you export bookmarks from Safari to an html file, can you import them into Firefox using Import from the bookmark library window Import and Backup menu item?

    How do I sync bookmarks from safari on my pc to my iPhone with the iCloud?

    Do you have Windows 7 or XP? If you have Win7, install the iCloud control panel for Windows and set it up there (Ignore the fact that it shows IE in the control panel, once you check it off, you'll be able to select Safari).
    If you have Windows XP, you don't.

    You can only do this with MobileMe setup. If you do have MobileMe on your Mac, then you need to go into System Preferences, Click on MobileMe, Click on Sync tab, then make sure that Bookmarks is clicked on.

  • Syncing bookmarks from safari on Iphone to Ipad2

    how do I get all of the bookmarks I have on my Iphone 3GS that is on Safari to the Safari on Ipad2?

    The only way I know how to sync bookmarks to an iDevice is to have the bookmarks on Safari on your actual computer and importing the bookmarks from Safari to the iDevice.

  • Unable to Sync bookmarks from ipad to itunes.

    I have been completely unable to sync my safari bookmarks from my ipad 2 to windows PC.
    In itunes, where according to this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296) under the 'info' tab I should be able to click sync, I only get the following message:
    'Your bookmarks are being synced with your ipad over the air from icloud' and get no other option.
    Yet when I log into my icloud account, there is no safari or bookmarks, despite the fact that on my Ipad icloud settings I said to have Safari synced!
    Anyone know a way to get round this problem?
    Or failing that, ANY way to copy my bookmarks onto my laptop? (aside from emailing them individually).
    Thanks so much,
    Nicky

    For now I have solved the problem, and it seems to come down to iCloud working better on Windows. I open Parallels running Windows 8 and updated xmarks in chrome and downloaded my good clean bookmarks. Then i installed icloud control panel and the icloud chrome extension (why is there no Mac version of this?) and switched over to Safari on Mac and the bookmarks quickly synced to the good clean version and showed up on my iOS devices as well.
    It might have been partially the 2 computer thing, but no matter what Apple should have the same functionality they offer Windows Users on the Mac! I know they want you to use Safari, but I do not and will not. I use Chrone and Firefox, and will continue to do so!

  • HT4759 Cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to iPad.

    I cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to my iPad.
    When connected to iTunes it lists that my bookmarks are being synced via iCloud, but I cannot see where my bookmarks are being stored on iCloud.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
    I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
    Thank you

  • Syncing bookmarks from Firefox in iTunes for 3GS?

    When you sync your iPhone it gives you the option to sync bookmarks from IE or Safari, but I use Firefox and this doesn't show on the menu... what am I doing wrong?

    Firefox does not show as a browser to select for syncing bookmarks since syncing bookmarks with Firefox is not supported. You should be able to import your Firefox bookmarks with Safari on your computer followed by syncing your iPhone Safari bookmarks with Safari on your computer.

  • ICloud Control Panel 3.0 for Win8 syncs bookmarks with Safari removed

    Is it true that iCloud Control Panel 3.0 no longer syncs bookmarks with Safari for Windows? According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759 Safari for Windows is no longer supported, only IE, FF and Chrome. I need a work around if this is true.

    Unlikely..
    To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows

  • Canot Import Bookmarks from Safari

    Instructions say to import bookmarks go to File>Import. Under the file menu, the word Import… is never highlighted, so I can't click on it. How can I get this to work so I can import bookmarks from Safari?

    Thanks lot! It was "in the row of icons at the top, choose the button that has a star with a sync icon inside of it (fifth from the left)" that got me there.''

    How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?

    Hello!
    Here is the manual. iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer - Apple Support
    - Note that the manual presupposes you have Mountain Lion installed on your Mac, which is what it says in your message, so I'm assuming you have.
    Also, I suppose you're not using iCloud. If you ARE using iCloud on your Mac and iPhone, I recommend using that for your bookmarks over USB-syncing. Here's the manual for that: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
    The relevant excerpt:
    Turn iCloud Bookmarks off and back on:
    Quit Safari.
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
    If you are using OS X Mavericks or Mountain Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Safari. If you are using OS X Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Bookmarks.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
    Select the checkbox next to Safari (or Bookmarks). Click Merge.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Safari and test to see if the issue is resolved.
