Schlubumir van den Hoodenkraften asks:
Since I have my bookmarks on the iPad in the bookmark bar, only the bookmarks not organized in folders will show on my iPhone (synced via iCloud). I have no clue how to solve this. Would somebody so kind and tell me how to make the folders appear on the iPhone? Thanks.
This question has been resolved. You may still add an answer if you think you can add something to the discussion though.

Thanks, Fidelis. Here is what I did. Opened Safari, like you said, but the status bar did not react, cause it seemed that everything was synced already (except for the folders of course).
Push was already set, so i tried adding a page to the reading list which interestingly did dont sync to the phone. Then i switched off the icloud sync for bookmarks, erased all bookmarks by doing so and switched sync back on. In safari the statusbar thing started spinning, like you said it would when bookmarks are beeing pushed to the phone. Everything was synced!
Except for the folders
My biggest fear is i am plain too stupid and forgot one tiny adjustment
Edit: Unfortunately nothing worked so far (besides maybe the itunes sync which I havent tried yet) so I will get more precise on the problem:
Ipad bookmark bar:
page1,
page2,
FolderA (pageA1, pageA2…),
folderB (page B1, pageB2),
…
Iphone boookmarks ( not bookmark bar):
Folder: Read later list (I dont know the correct translation)
Folder:History
Folder:Bookmark bar:Page1
Page2
Iphone Bookmark page I1
….
So basically page1 and page1 got synced, but all the folders are missing. Maybe there is an adjustement necessary in the icloud- or safari settings I am missing here.
Maybe this additional info can help solve this problem.
Best

Thank you for the thorough update!
Hello, try the following:
– in your iPhone, open safari
– open bookmarks menu and find the reading list(Read later list in your post)
– once reading list is accessed, you should be able to see activity in the status bar indicator. The status bar indicator should start spinning
– opening reading list should trigger iCloud to sync and bookmarks should be updated
– try to stay in this page until the status bar indicator stops turning
You could also try changing the settings in your iPhone to push:
– in your iphone follow next steps:
– settings
– mail
– contacts
– calendars
– fetch new data
– tap to enable push
