Q: Safari History Not Syncing Across iCloud

I have an iPhone, iMac, and MBP. All use the same iCloud ID and all are up to date with latest software.

 

I cannot get Safari history to sync.

 

My bookmarks sync, I can use handoff between the devices, and I can see open Safari tabs on all 3 devices.

 

I have cleared history, turned Safari off/on in the iCloud settings, signed out and back into iCloud, deleted this history DB files on the Macs, rebooted.

 

The 1 thing I have not done is created a new AppleID. Whether that works or not is irrelevant as I would not be able to (or want to) use a different ID anyhow.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

iMac 21.5, Mac OS X (10.7)

    I don't know what is going on with my account...

    The other day all the history from my iPhone was syncing well on my Mac, and the other way didn't work.

    Today it's the opposite

    Manually syncing through the debug menu did the trick for me. Link below.

    Hello jdag,

     

    I come here to know if you resolved the issue, and I want to share with you something to (maybe) solve it.

     

    Almost 2 weeks ago, I've bought a brand new iPad Mini 4, everything was great, everything was synchronized. But after a while the history on iPad was broken. I did a lot of things in order to make it works, sometimes it did but after a while... Broken again.

     

    To solve the issue, here is what I did:

    - I went to iCloud settings in OS X and iOS, then I unchecked Safari on all my devices.

    - Then in iCloud Drive on iOS, I unchecked Safari too (Safari doesn't show on iCloud Drive settings on my Mac).

    - I waited an hour or so

    - I reactivated Safari sync in OS X

    - I reactivated Safari sync in iCloud Drive (iOS)

    - I reactivated Safari sync in iOS

    - I waited a few hours before using Safari

     

    Before going to bed I used my iPad with Safari, this morning it was synced with iPhone and the Mac. Then I was on the go with my iPhone and checked some news, when I came back it was synced to my iPad and Mac. Finally I did some work on the Mac, I checked my Facebook, etc and it was synced to my iPhone and iPad.

     

    Try and let me know
