I know the seems like a really easy question but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I had a hard drive crash on my laptop and lost all the backups I had on my computer (most were saved on DVD's) but I somehow managed to not keep my Chrome Bookmarks.
Anyways, I have the chrome bookmarks still on my phone as sync was disabled after the crash but I can't figure out how to sync from the phone to my computer. When I enable sync on my phone it just deletes all the desktop bookmarks I still had on it. I have a Titanium Backup of the bookmarks so I can try this as many ways as needed.
Has anyone done this? Is there an app? What can I try to get my bookmarks back on my computer short of typing them all into my browser one at a time.
Thanks!
I use chromemarks and it works great. You may have to tweak the sync options...
Chrome Marks syncs from the Desktop to the Phone only I believe and I am looking to sync from the phone to the Desktop unfortunately.
Thanks for the reply though!!

Whats the best way everyone is syncing there bookmarks and contacts. I'm new to android coming off WM. I have a couple of concerns.
My contacts have been automagically updated by gmail which has so much sh!t in it its ridiculous. I deleted all my contacts in gmail and i'm trying to get an updated list from my outlook account. It looks like they are staying on my phone. Any easy way to wipe it all out so i can start w/ a fresh sync from outlook on my computer.
Sencondly, whats everyone using to sync bookmarks. I've heard it can be done w/ some push from chrome, big Firefox user. Thanks!
EDIT: Just realized this is my first post over here. Sorry HI! hahaha been a huge fan and was an avid user over at PCCGeeks. Cheers!
gmail to sync contacts
Bookmarks to SD will save what bookmarks you create on your phone but I dont think it syncs with firefox.
xmarks has a book mark sync for the android but is not so great.
so i downloaded the chrome beta that was released to market a few days ago on my prime and galaxy nexus..
i also use the chrome browser on my pc..
my question is that i use the sign in to chrome to sync the data i want (bookmarks and auto fill, etc)...but when i go to "other devices" on my prime, i only see the galaxy nexus..and vice versa. i don't see my chrome browser on other devices, nor are the bookmarks sent from the chrome pc browser to the g nexus or the prime...
am i doing something wrong? is syncing possible natively? (yes, i am logged in on my pc chrome as well..)
thanks!
I had a similar issue. I went into the sync settings in chrome on my pc and clicked "use default settings" Everything synced immediately.
It took a bit for the bookmarks to sync and a restart for the open tabs to sync for me. Make sure what you want synced is checked in the options as well.
thanks for the suggestion..i'll try checking the "sync everything" to see if it makes a difference...and then use the second suggestion and give it time..hehe
but yes, i have "sync everything" on my tablet and phone..and bookmarks and persona data on my pc...
i guess i should try to clear the data and restart the app...it's just odd that the pc browser is the only one that doesn't show up while the others do, no matter the order..hmm..

Hi There.
I have problems syncing bookmarks from chrome to ics browser.
When i set it up, it syncs just fine, but after that, any changes i made in google chrome dont get sync to ics browser. I see the icon rotating i settings, but nothing changes.
I tried the trick to clear google dashboard and so on, didnt help.
Tried changing roms, didnt help.
Its the same every time, it only syncs one time, then no matter what i do, it dont work.
On good ideas ?
I have the same problem even when I was stock. I use GBookmark app to sync
my bookmarks
Sent from my GNex {GSM} T-Mobile
Am having a problem with Bookmarks in Chrome and the Stock Browser. I have synced my Chrome browser and I can see all my folders in the 'desktop bookmarks' tab. However when I click on most of the folders they come up empty. Only some show bookmarks in them. This same thing happens in the stock browser. I've tried to sync my Google account again and nothing. Any ideas on what is wrong?
Firefox shows all my bookmarks.
I don't get the logic on how the sync works. I hit the sync and im getting browser data of my tablet combine with my mobile. Is there a way backup one way (export) and then later on i can just choose which data to import ? Now its just random and the tablet, mobile, & PC all combines with a sync. I know there is a export and import option on the PC version of Chrome. But don't see that for mobiles or tablets.
