Hi guys. Tonight I used my iPad (and all my bookmarks were there). I put it down for a few minutes, pick up, and every single bookmark gone! I thought it was so strange. First thing I did was type in a Google search "where did my book marks" and I saw an auto fill ending my sentence with "go on iPad". It brought me to this forum where I read a bit and decided to try garstongal's suggestion. It worked and was relieved to see them all there after powering off my iPad and turning it back on a few seconds later. Whew! Thanks garstongal! : )

Worked a treat for me too, thanks
Neil

I'll take you through all the possibilities of recovering the lost Safari bookmarks.
=> Check for iCloud backup if you have any so that you can restore the bookmarks saved on iCloud.
=> Check for iTunes backup. Download and install the free software "iPhone Backup Extractor" and launch the app. It will automatically search for any backups on your computer.
=> Check for your lost bookmarks in Windows/Users/Contacts folder. There are times when iTunes saves the contacts in this folder.
Hope one of these methods will help you.
