Sync has not worked between my Mac, iPhone, and iPad bookmarks for at least two months. This is a major problem; I depend on my bookmarks all the time. Please fix this as soon as possible!

Verify iCloud Settings Across Devices: Open the Settings app on your iPhone and iPad, go to your Apple ID, select iCloud, and ensure Safari is toggled on. On your Mac, navigate to System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud, and confirm Safari is checked. This ensures bookmarks are set to sync across all devices.
Check Internet Connectivity: Stable and active internet is critical for iCloud to sync data. Verify that all devices are connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data. Test by loading a webpage or running a speed test to confirm the connection quality.
Restart Your Devices: Sometimes, a simple restart resolves underlying system glitches. Power off and on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad to refresh iCloud services and connections.
Update to the Latest Software: Ensure all devices are running the most recent version of iOS, macOS, or iPadOS. Updates often include bug fixes for syncing and iCloud-related issues.
Disable and Re-enable Safari in iCloud: Go to Settings (or System Preferences), disable Safari in iCloud, wait for a few moments, and then enable it again. This can trigger a fresh sync across devices.
Ensure Adequate iCloud Storage: Check your available iCloud storage by going to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Storage. If iCloud is full like game, syncing might fail. Consider freeing up space or upgrading your iCloud plan.
Clear Safari Cache and History: On your devices, go to Safari settings and clear the history and website data. A cluttered cache can sometimes interfere with proper bookmark syncing.
Review Roblox-Specific Interferences: If you frequently play Roblox on Safari or another browser linked to your iCloud bookmarks, verify that Roblox extensions, plugins, or browsing activity aren’t causing disruptions. Adjust settings or temporarily disable extensions to rule out conflicts.
Organize and Simplify Bookmarks: Large or corrupted bookmark files can hinder syncing. Delete redundant or unnecessary bookmarks, reorganize folders, and test if this resolves the issue.
Test Manual Bookmark Syncing: Add a new bookmark on one device, such as your iPhone, and check if it appears on your iPad or Mac. This can help pinpoint whether the syncing issue is isolated or system-wide.
Sign Out and Back into iCloud: Go to Settings or System Preferences, sign out of iCloud, and then sign back in. Re-authenticate your devices with the same Apple ID to refresh the syncing process. Ensure Safari is enabled again after signing in.
Contact Apple Support for Advanced Assistance: If none of the above steps resolve the problem, reach out to Apple Support. They can perform deeper diagnostics on your iCloud account and devices to identify and fix syncing issues.
