Hi all

I'm almost certain there used to be an option in iTunes to sync bookmarks with IE, but now it is gone. So can anyone tell me how I sync bookmarks from IE with my iPhone? It's driving me crazy trying to find the setting that used to be there but no longer is!

Thanks

Michael.
 
This is how it works with Mac and Safari.

1. Open iTunes and connect your iPhone/iPod Touch
2. Select the iPhone in iTunes
3. Select the info Tab
4. Scroll Down to Web Browser and check the box next to Sync Safari Bookmarks
5. Click Sync and check your iPhone for the updated Bookmark list

Perhaps it says IE if your using a windows machine?

Click to expand...

There is no Web Browser section under Info. There is:

Sync Contacts with
Sync Calendars with
Sync Mail Accounts with
Other - Sync notes with
Advanced.

The first three are all synced with my MobileMe account.

So how do I sync Bookmarks?

Thanks!

EDIT - just spotted that Bookmarks are set to sync with IE in MobileMe control panel. However, it's not actually working, as a folder I deleted from IE bookmarks and favourite I added this morning haven't appeared on the iPhone.

EDIT Again - Fixed! Turned off bookmark syncing on the iPhone, deleted all bookmarks, then turned it back on again!

MobileMe syncing for desktop computers (e.g. Mac or PC) is delayed by 15 minutes.

It's not an instant "push" like it is on phones :)
