Why doesn't iCloud sync bookmarks from iPhone to Mac Safari??

[felixen]

I use my iPhone and iPad a bunch for browsing and I have a lot of bookmarks saved on these devices. Each time I save a bookmark on one device, iCloud does its magic and saves the bookmark on the other device too. So why the hell doesn't my Mac get these bookmarks too? How do I get them from iOS to Mac?

Thanks !

Does on my Mac. Have you gone into the iCloud settings in preferences on your Mac to make sure its all syncing?

And do you have Lion? iCloud is, annoyingly, Lion-only.

iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices.

I have lion and the appropriate settings turned on, and I still have problems with this. Roughly 50% of my safari bookmarks will carry over to my phone/iPad. As far as I can tell it is totally random.

A quick google search finds this:

Sorry I didn't reply before, I was away for a little while.

Anyway yes I have Lion and I have made sure that bookmarks were activated in the iCloud settings. I just followed that troubleshoot guide and the only thing it gives me to try is disabling bookmarks, waiting a little while and then enabling it again (I just deactivated it and am gonna try re-enabling it in a minute).



Edit: And there it is, works like a charm after reactivating it Thanks!
