Checked and double checked. Does not help. Also, sometimes the iPad doesn't show up on the mac, but sometimes it does.

Try Settings/iCloud and slide off syncing. Wait a few minutes and then resync.

Try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop syncing. Wait a couple of minutes, then recheck syncing.

Sign out of iCloud and sign back in.

Stop syncing exactly how? There are no stop syncing buttons. Do you mean to turn safari off and on in the settings/system preference menus? I think Apple could do a much better job of explaining this. Sometimes syncing works sometimes it doesn't with iPad. Never seems to work with iPhone.
