After moving from Mobile Me to iCloud all my bookmarks on an IMac, iPad and iPhone have become corrupted;


Duplicate enties, then often not syncing at all.


Anybody have a solution?

I had problems syncing bookmarks on an IMac, a MBP an iPhone 4 and an iPad 1.


Make sure you have latest OSX and iOS software on your devices.


I switched of sync on the MBP and cleaned the bookmarks. After that I disables sync on the iPhone and iPad and agreed to delete all bookmarks when I was asked. I checked on the devices in Safari whether all bookmarks were deleted and found a few being still there which I manually deleted.


Then I deleted ALL bookmarks on the iMac and waited until it has synced to iCloud. after that I disabled syncing on the iMAC.


On the MBP with the cleaned bookmarks I enabled syncing again and agreed to merge these bookmarks in iCloud which was flushed by the iMac.


After the MBP had uploaded I enabled syncing on all devices and now all devices show the same bookmarks.


Deleted and added some and all devices still are up-to-date.


Hope this helps
