Bookmarks are something every Mac and iPhone user would love to save for long time. For some, bookmarks could be a treasure trove of information or trivia they collected over a period of time. People always like to store something they love; a good read, a useful website for their career or business, and things of similar interest values.
Since you are a part of an Apple eco-system, you would also love to change the screen to check those bookmarks – from Mac to iPhone and vice versa. In this scenario, your iCloud account plays a crucial role in shifting your bookmarks from Mac to iPhone and the other way round.
Step #1. Launch Settings app on your iPhone → Tap on iCloud.
Step #2. If you find Safari option toggled OFF, toggle it ON.
Step #1. Click on the Apple menu from upper-left corner on your Mac.
Begin by purchasing the $3.99 app from the Mac App Store, and follow suit by grabbing its free iOS companion for your iPhone and/or iPad. With all your devices on the same Wi-Fi network, pair them. Open a site in Safari on your iPhone, or a location in Apple Maps, or start an email in Mail—switch to your Mac, bring up the dock, and you should see an app icon with a small phone symbol next to.
Step #2. Now click on System Preferences.
Step #3. Click on iCloud.
Step #4. Ensure that you have checked Safari.
Following this procedure, you should be able to access bookmarks created on either device – Mac or iPhone. What is common between the two procedures is iCloud, therefore, always make sure that your iCloud is toggled ON in all Apple devices you are working.
Before you sync bookmarks over iCloud on your Mac or iPhone, please check that your devices are running on OS X Mavericks and later, and iOS 7 and later.

Some days, running a business can feel like playing the arcade game Whac-A-Mole. Get one thing done and BAM, the next one appears. For this reason, it’s nice to have technology that works together; technology that allows you to go seamlessly between whatever tasks the day brings. Apple is renowned for creating products that do just that, specifically the iPhone and every desktop or laptop the company manufactures.
But some app developers think Apple doesn’t go far enough. So they continuously create apps that enable you to start a sentence on your laptop and finish it on your iPhone. This may sound like overkill–and sometimes it is–but these apps can often make things you didn’t even know you could do — even easier to do. Like magic. And, depending on your situation, something that may sound quirky initially, may quickly turn into your favorite app. So before you pass judgement, check out this small sampling of apps that help your iPhone/iPad work together with your Mac computer…like magic.
App: Dialogue (link): Their video on YouTube sums it up best: Say you are working on a project on your Mac and Mila Kunis calls you. You could miss it because your phone is on vibrate, or you might not feel like holding the phone to your ear. But fear not: Thanks to Dialogue, you can now answer calls from your desktop. We do, however, suggest using headphones with a built-in microphone, as the sound quality can be spotty without them. It also keeps people from getting jealous over your steamy celebrity relationship.
App: Notifyr (link): This one’s simple: an easy way to receive notifications from your phone on your desktop. It’s similar to the feature that certain cable and telephone providers have that allows caller ID information to be displayed on your television screen. You can also select which apps you want notifications from, so you can get the score of a World Cup match while keeping it hidden that you’ve just been matched with your boss’ daughter on Tinder.
App: Knock (link):
Knock-knock. Who’s there? Canoe. Canoe who? Canoe stop knocking on your pants pocket every time you sit down at your computer? Macs have an optional security feature that, when activated, requires a password to access a screen after it goes to sleep. It’s a great feature for many reasons, but can be a hassle if you’re constantly having to re-enter it to wake up your screen. Enter The Knock app, which stores your computer’s wake-up password in a way that can be activated by tap (the work “knock” is branding) on your iPhone. (We’re still scratching our heads over what inspired the app’s creator to come up with this stroke, or, knock, of genius.)
App: Command-C (link): Ever copy a link on a iPhone and want to open it on your desktop without having to email it? This app allows users to do just that, plus an array of other nerdy delights that comes with being able to share clipboards.
App: Type2Phone (link): Situations where one might need a full-size keyboard to operate a small electronic device have inspired products since the days of Palm Pilots and the era when everyone knew PDA actually stood for “personal digital assistant.” For texting, or writing a 140-character tweet, you probably won’t need this. But for writing a novel — or even an email — you may want another option besides thumb typing. Apple bluetooth keyboards are slim, trim and lots cooler than the ones they used to have for Palm Pilots–meaning, what are you waiting for?
