How would I go about syncing my Safari bookmarks when I have:
iPad Mini2 - OS 8.3
Mac Mini - OS X 10.6.8

My Mac does not have iCloud.
I cannot upgrade my mini any further, I would have to buy a new one in order to be au current.

Hello, Jennifer.  You're well on your way.

Because Safari on the iPad is inside Apple's walled garden, you must use Apple's iCloud to sync your bookmarks with it.  Because there is only one Mac involved, there is no use for Dropbox in your situation.

First we need to figure out where you are with iCloud…

Click in your menu:  ▸ System Preferences.  Under Internet & Wireless, click iCloud.  Is the checkbox for Safari switched on?

On your iPad, activate the Settings app, then in the left sidebar select iCloud.  In the right sidebar, is Safari switched on?

* * *

If both are switched on, you're done.  Your iPad should already have the bookmarks you managed in BookMacster.

If only one is switched on, or if neither is switched on, you first need to consider the bookmarks currently on your iPad.

• In Safari on your iPad, you should delete any bookmarks which are already on your Mac, or which you want to discard.  If all of the bookmarks currently on your iPad are either redundant with your Mac or not wanted, simply select and delete all bookmarks.

• If iCloud-Safari was switched on, wait 20 minutes to make sure they get cleared out of iCloud too.

• Switch on that iCloud-Safari checkbox on your Mac or iPad, whichever was off.  If both were off, switch on one, wait 20 minutes, then switch on the other one.  In either case, Apple will ask you to confirm your action.  Click Merge.

• After 20 minutes, or less, your iPad should have the same bookmarks as Safari and Chrome on your Mac.

To summarize, you are using iCloud to sync between Safari/iPad and Safari/Mac, while using BookMacster to sync between Safari/Mac and Chrome/Mac, and also to sort, organize and manage your bookmarks.

Let us know if you have any trouble.

Which advertising do you mean?  I'll fix it.

(Sorry, you'll have to describe where you read this because we don't allow forum users to post links due to spam craziness.)

Actually, though, as implied in my original reply, I consider syncing into Safari instead of having a separate iOS app to be a feature, not a shortcoming.

Good question, geod.  The answer is: You don't.  There is no BookMacster for iPad at this time.  Which makes it very easy to configure 

Instead, BookMacster syncs to Safari on your Mac and lets iCloud do the lifting to your iPad.

Configure BookMacster with Safari as a Client, and set up Sync or manually export to Safari.  Then, switch on iCloud bookmarks syncing on both devices.

To switch on iCloud bookmarks syncing on your Mac,

• Click in the menu:  ▸ System Preferences.
• Click the iCloud pane
• Switch on the Bookmarks checkbox.

I recommend waiting about 20 minutes for iCloud to finish doing its thing.  Unfortunately, Mac OS X doesn't provide any indication of when iCloud is working.

To switch on iCloud bookmarks syncing on your iPad,

• Activate the Settings application.
• Click the iCloud tool
• Switch on the Bookmarks checkbox.

In BookMacster's Help Book, there is a new page which explains the ins and outs of syncing with other services, and gives a couple examples.

Let us know if you have any trouble.
