So i got a into trouble with my chrome on desktop. I have an imac at work and macbook. I always use google chrome because its easy to manage my bookmarks across all platforms.
i got my imac replaced and due to this i just cleared all the browser data and deleted all my bookmarks. What i forgot to do was to remove sync. This ruined everything. All my bookmarks vanished on my macbook and mobile. but luckily my tablet was switched off. As soon as i powered up my a501 tablet i removed sync and the bookmarks on chrome beta stayed intact.
now the question is how can i get these bookmarks back to my chrome desktop. i cannot sync them for sure. i can't export them too.
i tried to look into the app data. but the database is empty.
can someone suggest something.
cheers.
Nevermind, I found a way out.

After the Touchwiz update, my bookmarks disappeared and it doesn't look like Google sync is working. Any ideas how to get this to work or some alternative way to syndrome my Google Bookmarks?
Try to clear data/cache for the Browser and Google Bookmarks Sync applications, then set up the sync again in the browser settings.
I still have a problem that not all bookmakrs/folders are synced and sometimes I even get FC errors with NPE in the bookmarks synchronization adapter.
Must be some bookmark that triggers it, but had no chance to isolate it yet.
UPDATE: just checked again and all the bookmarks seem to be in sync now, but the layout of folders has changed, it now starts with:
/Google Chrome/Bookmarks/..., then I can see all my bookmarks from the browser, before all the bookmarks and folders were just in the root folder.
Just found that it was already answered at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204048.
Thanks for the heads up. I had replied on that thread earlier and it got moved and I couldn't find it.
Yeah, I hate the new layout. Why can't they just leave what works alone?!
Opened up my stock browser this morning to find all my bookmarks have gone and under settings/synch browser sync is not happening, the two little arrows just sit there.
Any ideas how i get my bookmarks back?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
hmmmm...
You had synchs yesterday, and now you don't.
So, it seems you had something happen. An app install perhaps?
Also, if the same synch linked to another device's google account? Yes, I have 3 devices.
Can you get the bookmarks back? Probably not. Unless you did a system or Nand backup recently.
I'm having the same issue. My bookmarks are all still in Chrome on my PC but won't sync to my tablet. Working fine with my phone. I haven't installed anything recently.
Maybe some kind of epidemics ! I got same issue. All of my bookmarks vanished couple minutes ago .
It happened to me too this morning right after google maps update.
Did some digging. Looks like the other Honeycomb tablets are having the same problem. I found complaints as far back as August of last year and no solutions.
well this is really strange, my bookmarks have all just reappeared. Anyone else experience this?
I just got a Galaxy Note 10.1 a few days ago and I am overall pleased with it. But I am trying to sync my bookmarks but the internal browser never finishes the sync, it just kind of hangs there. I successfully synced the Chrome Browser, but the built in one just won't complete. When I load it up a good portion of the bookmarks are missing, It does seem to have created all the folders and subfolders of the bookmarks menus though. Anyone else ever have a similar problem that knows how to get sync to successfully complete? So far I have wiped the data with application manager a couple of times now, but so far it always never completely finishes the sync.
On a related note, since chrome successfully synced the bookmarks, is there a way to get the bookmarks to go from the android chrome browser to the built in one without using the google sync? That would also be an alternative, or maybe importing the bookmarks.html file I exported from firefox? I can't believe it's coming up on 2013 and these mobile browsers can't simply import bookmarks manually from a .html file on a sdcard.
Also FYI, if your settings are set to encrypt all data for your google account, the chrome browser syncs fine, but the built in browser fails to import any of the bookmarks. It gives an error message that something is wrong with sync and to try later.
Update:
Well it seems it did complete the sync sometime during the night. I checked this morning and all the bookmarks showed up in the internal browser. Strangely though every directory was duplicated, for example I had 2 "Forums" folders, one empty, one with all my links. I had to manually delete all the incomplete or empty bookmark directories. I am not sure how it got fixed, I didn't do a thing.
I am trying to get my bookmarks on my phone from my chrome browser on my computer but there is no option in the syncing to sync with your google account. I don't wish to use the Chrome browser all the time and besides having your bookmarks in chrome from your requires you to keep sync enabled and I don't want to as that uses battery that I don't want to spend. So is there anyway to sync your stock browser with chrome from your desktop for bookmarks to be on the phone?
I just started looking into this last night myself and so far haven't found a solution. Looks like it's a known issue though... keep us posted if you find a resolution.
i use the chrome browser on my PC and the stock aosp browser on my S4. both browsers are signed in to my gmail. bookmarks sync perfectly. as a matter of fact, hyperlinks sync as well. if i view an xda thread on my device, it shows it as read on my PC.
Can't seem to figure this out. For some reason Chrome on my N6P does not show my desktop bookmarks. Actually, it only shows just the bookmarks on this phone.
- desktop is signed on
- settings->accounts->google->chrome is set to sync
- did a force close and also rebooted
Anyone else having this issue or can clue me in on how to see bookmarks on my other signed in Chrome devices?
Thanks
I currently have this issue with my new N6p.
I can't get the bookmark sync .
I try to wipe cache of the apps but not working.
In chrome it tells me that he can't reach the sync server.
