Safari Bookmarks Not Syncing to iPhone through iCloud

I may be wrong but I though this was a mobileMe feature that iCloud does not have.

I think it is still a feature with iCloud. If on your iDevice with iOS 5 you go to Settings -> iCloud, and then inside of that you see bookmarks with a picture of Safari as a sync option. I tried to turn it off and then back on and that didn't get me anywhere. This is a feature I'd like to get working properly.

follow these steps they helped me

My problem is totally same!

I couldn't find the solution yet. I tried the suggestion above, first time it worked.

But guys, I am asking this: is this the way as it should work?

Apple, shame on you!

This feature would be so cool, if it works.

I cannot get it, doesn't it disturb Apple?

I think lots of others have the same issue.

Where is the solution? When Apple fix it?

Same here. It's not a poorly or bad feature implementation, it's a completely non-functional feature and for me it's a keypoint on my everyday job.

I found a solution on MacForum that worked for me instanttttttttly. It may work for you. Here's the link:

Exactly. Problem is, it doesn't even work with iTunes sync. It just doesn't work.

And iOS Safari doesn't offer ANY option to import bookmarks from a file, which is usually a fail-safe method! So thanks to Apple, we're pretty much stuck without bookmarks on the **** iOS devices. It's pathetic.

Here is what worked for me:

1. Turn iCloud Safari bookmark syncing off on all affected devices.

2. Restart all affected devices.

3. Turn on iCloud Safari bookmark syncing on the device with which you want all others to be synced to.

4. Wait a few minutes.

5. Turn on iCloud Safari bookmark syncing on all other devices.

Hope this works friends!

worked for me. thanks!

Is it possible to sync the bookmarks from my iPhone 4S to my PC's version of Safari? I've got tons of bookmarks on my phone that I'd like on my computer.

Thank you your help, that was anyway obvious. And it didn't help.

But the problem is much deeper here guys.

I just still don't get why Apple doesn't do something with it. I don't think so that problem is for us only.

I cleared the bookmarks in my safari last night. Looked like it cleared. I intended to clear my bookmarks on the server of iCloud. I thought that happened. But it didn't!

When I switched bookmarks sync back on my iPad it was still getting a old version. But how? Where from?

So the conclusion is a, the server wasn't clear or b, the iPad use some different "method" to reach the server and it gets a old version of my bookmarks. Doesn't matter how many times I would do the reset, delete bookmarks things... the problem, the malfunktion is with iCloud. It is 100% fact for me now.

I've tested the problem on different macs and I can tell you something is very wrong with iCloud.

When I was switch on the bookmarks sync on an other mac it was downloading a same old bookmarks than iPad. After I clear all bookmarks on this "new" mac and I was waiting. On my iMac didn't clear the bookmarks at all. Because the server problem I think. After I switched off my bookmarks sync on my iMac and switched back. It asked meg the merge question (stupid, because you have no any other logical choice) and I merged it. Suddenly the other "new" mac got my bookmarks! So this parts of test was worked well. But only this.

Nothing else, as you read my discreption here... Nothing!

So what is it if not the iCloud malfunction? Apple should let the users (experinced users) to delete or handle their bookmarks like the Xmarks does! Apple should agree or learn from them or from other smart guys.

Don't get me wrong, I like Apple I really do. Steve, still is my mentor, ideal... but Steve not with us anymore unfortunately.

If anyone knows a official chanel to write Apple with this "serious" problem, please let me know as I'll write them about this case.

I just cannot belive they didn't reconized this problem yet... and they still didn't fix it!

iCloud would be the best feautre ever made by anyone... just it doesn't work. So ... we are nowhere with it!

Thank you!
