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.

Hi all,
I'm having trouble syncing my Chrome browser to my Nexus's bookmarks.
I have "Browser" ticked in the sync options of my Google account (which is also associated with Chrome, and bookmark syncing turned on).
However, the sync-refresh icon (two arrows in a circle) permently displays next to it, and the last-sync date is the date I added the account. Pressing sync now or unchecking/rechecking does not seem to make it want to sync.
Am I doing something wrong, or anyone else solved this?
Thanks!
Let me know if you figure this out.
I dont have a Nexus yet (sadly), but i do have the Xoom running Honeycomb. To turn on bookmark syncing on the HC browser, you have to also go into Browser settings (on the device) and check 'Sync with Chrome'. Not sure if ICS works the the same way, and possibly you've already done this. Just a shot in the dark.
I have it kind of working. i have both set to sync but it appear not to sync bookmarks in folders in desktop chrome. If I bookmark on the nexus it appears in the desktop chrome bookmark bar, not in the bookmarks folder. Same if I bookmark into the bar on the desktop it will sync to the phone.
So looks like it only syncs links you have in the bookmarks bar not in the actual bookmarks folder - weird don't want a massive bar full of bookmarks in my browser
These are the steps, let me know if you have done the same things as it should work:
On your desktop/laptop
1. Click on the spanner then goto options
2. Goto the 'Personal Stuff' tab, then under the Sync section click 'Set up sync...'
3. Sign in with your gmail account that you use for your phone and click 'Sign in'
4. Either click 'Advanced', then choose what you want to sync (make sure Bookmarks is checked, or click on OK, sync everything
On Your Phone
1. Goto Settings and press on 'Accounts & sync'
2. Press on your gmail address and tick 'Sync Browser'
3. The sync icon should appear while it syncs and then disappear
4. Press your Home Button to get back to the Home Screen
Now open your stock browser, long press on the Back (soft) Button at the bottom and press on the BOOKMARKS Tab at the top. All your synced bookmarks should appear under your gmail address, including all your folders. All my favourite (Bookmark Bar) bookmarks are displayed first and the rest are in the folder 'Other Bookmarks' but it depends how you organise yours as to how they are displayed.
All the standard bookmarks are in a seperate section 'Local' under your synced section.
Hope this helps.
Mark.
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..

Sorry can't post links yet...
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!!
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
Hello there,
since Lollipop my HTC Browser doesn't sync with Chrome anymore, I know this is intended by Google as they removed the "internet" sync option from the Google account.
I am on ViperOne 4.2.0, is there any fix or something that I could install so that I get the bookmarks again?
