Safari Bookmarks not syncing via iCloud issue
I am frustrated by this issue that just appeared recently.
No matter what I do, any modification (rearranging, deletion) to the bookmarks are soon reverted.
the bookmarks are now totally out of sync with my iOS devices.
OS X version 10.11.3 (15D21) Safari Version 9.0.3 (11601.4.4)
Pls see my youtube vid for demo of the issue: https://youtu.be/ktxo1VVEwBI
Solution 1:
You need to reset your Safari Bookmark. See this:
How can I reset the Safari bookmarks in iCloud?
Simplified steps:
- Turn off iCloud Safari sync on all devices
- Backup current bookmarks on Mac
- Delete bookmarks on all devices
- Turn on Safari syncing on Mac
- Restore bookmark backup file to ~/Library/Safari folder
- Turn on bookmark syncing on all iOS devices
The original author of these suggestions noted the following: "Once I turned syncing back on each device remained blank for quite some time. I’m not sure why but I was able to prod the system along by adding a fake bookmark on another device. This seemed to kick everything into gear and I was able to delete that fake bookmark on different device – which eventually deleted it across all devices."
