Can't bookmark because of synchronize won't stop

Every time I try to add a bookmark to my home page I get the error "You can’t change your bookmarks right now because they are being synchronized. Wait a few minutes, and then try again."

How do I stop the synchronization so I can bookmark pages?

See if this helps: go to the System settings ➙ click on your name (Apple Account) ➙ click on the See All button



➙ scroll to Safari and turn off if on (if off toggle on and off a couple of times)



➙ close System settings and reboot. Try adding a bookmark again.
