Syncing bookmarks between MBP and iPhone

[Deeg]

Can anyone help me?

Finally sorted my bookmarks out on my MPB, but it won't sync with my iPhone.

All the other iCloud stuff is syncing, well the calendars, I don't really use anything else over iCloud.

Any suggestions? Please be warned, if you do have an answer, it will need to be in full r****d dialogue as I'm a total technophobe.

Are you using Safari on your MBP?

On your iPhone, if you go to Safari, open the bookmarks then open bookmarks bar, are they in there? I made this error, assuming they'd just appear in my bookmarks menu, but no.

In Safari on your Mac. Are your bookmarks actually on the bookmarks bar?

And

System prefs - iCloud - bookmarks is also on?

On your Mac.

No, just within bookmarks - Does that matter?

On your Mac.

Yes.

So on the iPhone they'll be in:

Safari - bookmarks - bookmarks menu (I think?)

Nope, all empty.

On the address bar. The little CS icon thing that's next to the URL.

Drag that onto the the bookmarks bar.

Then check on your iPhone and see if it's in your bookmarks under "Bookmarks Bar"

Where is the bookmark bar?

I have book marks and top sites and reading list as options in the top left of the window...

Edit - Tried using the little plus button and adding to bookmark bar like that, but that didn't add it on the iPhone.

It's under the address bar.

How odd, it's just done it. I clicked a bookmark and it just reorganised them.

Oh well, jobs a good un. Wish I knew why it did it now and not earlier.
