How to recover safari history that has been cleared

I have a 2012 iMac running Mavericks OSX 10.9.4 4GB 1333 MHZ
I frequent a social network site that hosts photos, private mail conversations and blog discussions.
I use an app " safari cache explorer" that will very quickly look at the cache files from the browser history and give me the option to view the line items as plain text, web page, or image. The plain text view is not really that readable so I would like any suggestion on how to convert that part to something more useful. The items that can be viewed as web pages are perfect and appear exactly as the did when I was on that webpage.
Here is my problem. If the clear history function has been used in safari that explorer app has nothing to look at and sometimes I need to go back and find a preveiously viewed webpage. I am using time machine to backup to a Seagate backup plus drive and I have read at least several online discussions as well as everything on this community board on how to recover to recover to recover those files. There have been several  highly detailed explinations on how to accomplish this task but not one has worked.
Is it possible to retrive the history.plist, cache plist or whatever is needed to see those web pages from a week or two ago in a manner that they are usable?
If so what are the exact instructions on doing this task. A procedure that actually works would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/History.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Enter Time Machine and restore the selected item from a snapshot that predates the unwanted changes. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Backup drive?

    If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck.  A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work.  You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

  • How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

    How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

    THanks for your reply.
    Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
    you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
    my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
    converts it into docx, my choice.  I can read it there and when I try to
    copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
    like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
    save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
    to see it.    I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
    give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing.  What
    I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit.  People send me
    things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
    in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
    doesnt allow me to copy the text.  If it is in image form, I cannot work on
    it.  It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
    I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program.  Its just double the work and
    ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
    Sorry  if I am a bit dumb with informatics.  But I simply could not find
    any way whatever to  copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
    format that would enable me to edit it.
    Kindest regards,

  • TS4036 How do I access content that has been backed up to iCloud?  I no longer have an iphone, but want to access the music/pictures I've stored to the cloud.  When I logged into iCloud, there was no tab or option to view store content.  Please help.

    How do I access content that has been backed up to iCloud?  I no longer have an iphone, but I want to access the music/pictures I've stored to the cloud.  When I logged in to iCloud, there was no tab or option to view content.  Please help.

    Without an iPhone or iPod Touch to restore the backup to, you cannot access the camera roll photos stored in the iCloud backup.  Signing into the account on your computer and enabling photo stream will only allow you to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days, and any shared stream you were subscribed to.
    You can redownload purchased music in iTunes on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

  • Is it possible to recover autofill forms that has been removed

    I accidentally clicked remove all (instead of remove 1) in the autofill preference.
    Now I have many sites that I can't remember the passwords.
    Is it possible to recover web form passwords that has been removed from autofill?
    Also I couldn't find them in the keychain. Please Help

    Also I couldn't find them in the keychain.
    Open Keychain Access  /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Use the search field top right corner of the Keychain Access window to find web site addresses
    If you want Safari to "remember" a new password for a site, first make sure User names and passwords is selected in Safari / Preferences - Autofill.
    Navigate to a site. Enter the user name and password. When prompted, click Yes. That will create a new keychain for that site for you.

  • How can I save music that has been sent to me via email on my iPad.?

    How can I save music to my iPad that has been sent to me in an email? Please help

    You can't save it to the Music app directly on the iPad, you will need to see if there are any third-party music apps in the store that you allow you to copy music from Mail to them. For the Music app then only way to get music into it is via the iTunes store app directly on the iPad and by syncing from your computer's iTunes.

  • How to unlock macbook pro that has been remote locked from the icloud

    how do you unlock the macbook pro that has been remotly locked from the icloud because i forgot my password

    This question should NOT be answered. Using Find My Mac to lock one's computer is a personal security measure for those whose Macs have been lost or stolen and may be in the hands of criminals. Publicly posting instructions for defeating that measure would be tantamount to abetting theft.
    If you have foolishly locked your own computer and need to unlock it, take it to an Apple Store. Be prepared to prove you are its rightful owner.

  • How to recover safari history from time machine?

    Hi guys,
    I need your help ... I use time machine for the backup and I cancelled the history of Safari few days ago and now I need to recover it.
    Where and how can I find it among the time machine files?
    I have already read some suggestions in the web that told me to find it in the user/Library/Safari/History but I can't find any Safary folder in my Library :-(
    Many thanks in advance

    Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/History.plist
    Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
    Select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "History.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.
