iPhone: Sync your Safari Bookmarks

By Dan Hinckley

6 responses. »

There have been a number of recent articles describing the way that consumers user their iPhone. Interestingly enough, compared to normal smartphone users iPhone users talk less and browse the web more then their counterparts.

In fact:

“iPhone owners spend the time they use their iPhones engaged in voice calls (that number is 71.7 percent for BlackBerry owners). Also, iPhone owners in the US claim to spend 12.1 percent of their iPhone time on the net (compare that to 2.4 percent for all other mobile phones on average)”

    Very useful tutorial

    In case you are looking for one on Firefox and Chrome bookmarks, I followed this http://www.sync-iphone.com/browsers/sync-iphone-b… which worked just fine

    Peter's reference is not syncing. This is importing. The difference is so obvious, I can't believe they wasted a web page on it.

    Then refers to time (subsequent events); THAN refers to comparison

    When I did this, it took all my iTouch bookmarks (out of date) and replaced the current ones I had on the
    Imac. How does one do the opposite: replace ipod Touch bookmarks with those under Safari on the iMac?

      It's suppose to sync both ways? That's the experience I had. Does it not pull them in under folders you created or something?

    How do I do the opposite, getting my safari bookmarks on my ipod touch to my Safari browser on the pc? whether via back up or syncing/uploading?
