Along a similar line, I can't Add Bookmarks after adding many in the past. Ive tried several web suggestions: reset the iPad as you mention in addition to disconnecting from iCloud, turning off safari and wiping history etc. It has all been to no avail.
During this effort I have wiped all of my bookmarks, though fortunately they did seem to recover from iCloud or where-ever. I don't want to repeat that stressful episode!
So ..., does anyone have a sure fire way to fix this for my iPad v4?
---------------------------------- Update. ----------------------------------
To minimize the thread on this post I here-in add this update through an edit (as there are not visible any posts in response to mine).
I fess up to say that what was interpreted to be an iPad problem is in fact an operator fault.
I had not previously noted that in creating a bookmark there is in fact an option of saving a bookmark to be listed under 'Bookmarks' or 'Bookmarks Bar'. Until recently I had entered these under the latter after which I had unknowingly toggled to the other. The net result was that the bookmarks were being recorded but not in the list that I would normally open to use those bookmarks.
Now in summation since I better understand this setup, it seems preferable to me to have the bulk of these bookmarks moved from the 'Bar' to the general bookmarks folder.
Is there a way to move entries between the 'Bookmarks' and the 'Bookmarks Bar' folders?

Ditto, as above, in the meantime as there have been no responses so I will insert here:
To answer my own last question of moving between folders, several websites indicate that these might only be moved one at a time and I reference a site where 'Troy' has some pretty good detail shown in this site:

Apr 25, 2012 - Here are two common task that you may want to perform: Moving a bookmark within the same folder; Moving a bookmark to a new folder
If you make sub-folders on the Bookmarks Bar, your markers can be moved pretty quickly, even though you will move them on at a time.
