Hello LuvBebeForever,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
You mentioned having trouble editing bookmarks. Does this only seem to happen when both devices are in use at the same time or are you unable to edit them any time?
Are you using these steps to attempt to edit them? Bookmark a website in Safari on iPhone - Apple Support
Which OS version are you running on both your iPhone and iPad? You can check that in Settings > General > About.
This info can help narrow down what may be happening and what options you have.
Cheers!
