Safari on iPad....bookmarks disappeared over night and system won't save bookmarks now. It worked great yesterday so did the software break or was an update released last night? Help please (iOS 6.0)
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6
same thing happened on my iPad Air iOS 10.2.1 i have closed and reopened. and pressed nd held icon no - ever appears on safari icon though it is wiggling. i have rebooted twice . still no bookmarkes or favorites ... ALL GONE .. i press the + to add new tab ... blank untitled tab appears . i icons in screen. aaaarrrggghhh !!!
The exact same thing happened on my iPad over the last day or two … all of my old bookmarks disappeared and were replaced with just the set of default items (Google, Bing, iPad manual, and a couple of others). I couldn't add any new ones at that point, either. Eventually I tried killing off the Safari task in the bottom bar of background apps, and when I restarted Safari thereafter my old bookmarks were back. Definitely seems like a bug, but at least there was a workaround that helped in my case.
Thanks. I just tried the old IBM Approach of rebooting the system and the bookmarks magically reappeared. Shouldn't have to reboot though.....Thanks again for the post
Same problem, this fix worked thx
I had the same problem. The reboot worked fine for me. Got all my bookmarks back. Thanks!
I didn't have to reboot my ipad2. I just closed the app and ten opened it again. My bookmarks reappeared!
I can confirm this bug and the solution (kill Safari process and restart it) on my "new iPad", which is not the current model anymore, and iOS 6.0.1.
I just experienced this on an iPad mini and MysticFm's solution worked for me.
This just happened to me on my iPad3. I'm not sure I understand the described solution of killing off the Safari task in the bottom bar of background apps. If someone could please enlighten me I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Gsper. Go to home screen, swipe up with four or five fingers (or double click home button) this will make running apps appear in the bottom bar. Touch and hold one of them and red minus signs will appear, tap these individually to close the apps. As previously stated, if you do this with safari your bookmarks should reappear.
Thanks, donratto. Problem solved.
Rebooting my IPad2 worked for me. Thanks.
Today rebooting didn't bring my bookmarks back. iOS 6.1 on iPad mini.
I have also experienced this.
Would be good if Apple addressed this issue. This happens to me often - once a week. First post Oct 15, 2012 and it continues.
Just happened, powered off iPad, powered up, bookmarks are back.
Safari bookmarks disappear on iPad ...just overnight
