I have two Mac and two iOS devices.
After OS X 10.7.2 update, iCloud bookmark sync is not working only on my iMac.
I tried reseting bookmark sync, deleting bookmark.plist, reinstalling Safari & iTunes even OS update,
But bookmark syncing is still not working!
Another functions of iCloud are working well,
Just bookmark syncing on my iMac...
Please help me 😢
Mac OS X (10.7.2), iCloud
I have something similar.
ipad2 and iphone4 on ios5, mbp-2010 on 10.7.2 Everything else syncs.
icloud syncs bookmarks for 1/10th of the bookmarks from the mbp to the iphone4.
I am having the same problem. Bookmarks appear to be syncing between my iOS devices, but not my iMac. Other items are syncing properly such as contacts and mail. I have verified everything is configured properly, but no luck.
I'm having the same issue.
Bookmarks sync with macbook air and iphone 4s, but not on the imac.
I tried logoff iCloud in my all devices,
after that, even MacBook Pro's bookmarks (previously synced well) isn't synced...
Bookmark sync only works in iOS devices.
Please be careful using iCloud on your MacBook Air.
I was running into a similar issue today where I could not get safari bookmarks synced between my iMac and my MacBook Pro. Here is a workaround that's a bit of a pain, but has worked well for me so far:
1. Quit Safari
2. in System Preferences -> iCloud -> uncheck the 'Bookmarks' box, and then check it again.
3. Click "yes" to merge
Now when you open safari, the bookmarks will be synced.
Hope that helps.
Thanks Dvanstone. It's working now between my iMac and other Apple devices 😎.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my Macs 😢
I think your advice is similar to Apple's solution... but Safari or Lion might have some errors.
All fixed on my end now. No more safaridavclient taking 8gb of ram at 100% cpu
This is what I did, hope it works for you - don't do this if you never use the commandline
~/Library/Safari copied to a folder on desktop for backup
In safari exported bookmarks for backup
removed all bookmarks that had javascript in it
killed safaridavclient
stopped iCloud bookmark syncing
rm -Rf ~/Library/Safari
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.safar*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safar*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safa*
reopen safari
wait until it rebuilds and open apple.com
quit safari
start iCloud bookmark syncing
wait 15 minutes
bookmarks may be back, you can delete them or keep them if they are good
i deleted them and imported the good bookmarks
Turned on iphone and iPad bookmark syncing
Yes, it works in my MacBook!
Although my iMac still cannot sync bookmarks,
but I found out that SafariDAVClient process is not working, it disappears few seconds after launching.
Thanks for your help 🙂
Thanks Dvanstone.
It works for me too.
Same problem here!
Lion 10.7.5 on MacBook 2007.
SafariDavClient is only active once after enabling the iCloud for Safari.
I thing the SafariDavClient should be launched automatically if I switched on iCLoud Sync fo Safari ona regular basis, but it does'nt.
Apple is doing nothing about this eror, only making great an shinning commercials about the great iCloud sync. Apple *****. Apple is not willing to fix bugs.
Maybe a solution could be that a plist file has to be placed in the LaunchDeamons folder for the SafariDavClient?
I found out that Bookmark Sync is only every 23h, so if you switch on iCloud Safari Syncing, it's done immediately and then every 23h. I found a solution to adjust the time as following:
iCloud bookmark sync on Safari for Mac is not working...
