Safari 4 clearing history in google bar

Hi, I'm new to these forums so forgive me if this has been asked
So I updated to Safari 4 today and I'm having trouble deleting history from the google bar in the top right of the screen, In my last version of safari underneath it said "clear recent searches" but it is not there now.
I have also tried
Safari>Preferences>Autofill>Other forms>edit>remove all.
and this does not help with the google problem
I do not want to reset safari as it is only the history in my google bar i want to erase.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

As ~Bee says, apparently there is no checkbox to just clear the Google searches. So if you want to clear those, you will also have to clear your History before you quit, since that will clear the searches.
The only other alternative would be if there's a preference for it in the com.apple.Safari.plist file; if so, you could delete that entry and Lock the file to prevent those searches from being saved.

  • Safari clearing history, website data, and cookies

    I guess I'm trying to find out how to tell the developers of Yosemite to go backwards and allow us to clear history without losing all the website data and cookies. In Maverick, at the end of the day, I cleared my history, and it only cleared my browsing history; I didn't have to sign in again on all the sites I visit. Yosemite is working fine for me except for this one issue. I believe we users should have the option of clearing just the browsing history, and letting us choose to clear website data and cookies. Any ideas on this?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Safari/Preferences/General has a 1 day option that doesn't delete cookies.

    Running OS 10.5.8 on Macbook.  Safari set to clear history Manually, but it periodically clears automatically.  How can I stop this?  I checked OnyX - only for 10.7 and above.  Thanks.
    If you are referring to Onyx (maintenenace utility), you need Onyx for Leopard >  http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx
    v10.7 is Lion.
    As for Safari - History.
    Launch Onyx then select Cleaning from the menu then select the Internet tab.
    Deselect:  Browser History

    Quit the Safari app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or ...Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • IPad mini safari search bar changed to grey and can no longer clear history

    What has happened?  The panel in safari where you type in web addresses use to be white with black type now it's all grey with white type.  It's awful.  Also I used to be able to clear history but can no longer do this.  Need this option as looking for Christmas presents and don't want kids to see.
    Will be so grateful if anyone can get my ipad back how it was.

    Are you referring to the new colors of iOS 7? If that's the case then there is no way to change it.
    To clear your History:
    1 Tap the Bookmark icon (the one next to the cloud and + icons.
    2 Tap Bookmarks > Select History
    3 Hit Clear (Notice the Clear icon at the bottom).
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to recover safari browsing history after history has been cleared?

    I have a 2012 iMac running Mavericks OSX 10.9.4 with a Seagate Backup Plus connected with Time Machine. I would like to restore safari browsing history to view some web pages from about two weeks ago. Safari history has been cleared. I think I need the history cache and or the history.plist but I'm not sure. I have 2 data recovery apps. One is Stellar Phoenix Mac data recovery and the other is Seagate file recovery for Mac. I just don't know if those are the correct files and if they may still be somewhere that they can be found in a still usable form.
    I have searched this question on the web and found several answers that had step by step instructions on how to accomplish the task but none of the methods actually worked. The claims were all talking about older operating systems however.
    Can anyone help? Is it possible?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Safari
    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window should open. Restore the file named "History.plist" in that folder from a snapshot taken on the day in question, or the first available day afterwards.

  • The clear history in the google search box no longer works

    I'm using firefox 3.6.16. Suddenly the clear history link on the google search bar is not working. I can clearch history under tools but not within the search bar ,I don't know how to correct the problem. Can someone tell me what to do?

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Also, I think the Ask toolbar (add-on) has been reported to create problems with the links in Google search results. You could try disabling it here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    A search also turned up an issue with the HTTPS Everywhere add-on: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/867796 Google links redirect to Google homepage, not the link itself! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • Previous image flashes on the screen occasionally when opening safari. Even after clearing history and cache.

    Occasionally an image from a previous website appears briefly when opening safari. I'm afraid it might do it with a site that has private information and other individuals use this ipad. Is this a problem fixed in the updates to the iOS or something different entirely.  The image flashes sometimes even after clearing history and cache.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Safari Does Not Clear History

    If I Reset Safari or Empty Cache or Clear History when I go to the address bar and type any letter--I get a long list of all the websites visited. While this is not a big deal for my home computer I do not like this to occur on my work computer. Is there a way to erase all the sites visted from the address bar?
    Thanks

    Using Safari 2.0.4:
    I have this same "problem," resetting, clearing the history, etc., and still getting a huge list of autofill possibilities. Of course, anyone else who uses my computer gets my huge list of autofill possibilites, too, so if I had something quietly buried in a bookmark folder, it shows up as anyone begins to type. Not very private. I looked through all the Safari and Apple help and never got the answer, until just now. Thanks for the answer and the workaround, even though there's no real solution.
    I can't believe that typing in "www" is really bringing up every single bookmark I have! If Apple is listening they should certainly have a Preference setting to keep this from occurring in the next Safari update. It is junky and annoying to me and evidently to some others, too, since I see several messages referring to the same issue. It looks just like a huge "history," which is what I thought it was.

  • Cookies repopulate after use Safari Preferences Privacy. Safari Clear All History works, but also logs me out of site to which I'd like to remain logged in. I use a MacBook Air, running Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Cookies repopulate after I use Safari<Preferences<Privacy to try to remove some, but not all cookies. They don't seem to repopulate after I use Safari<Clear All History, but then I am logged out of sites to which I'd like to remain logged in. I use a MacBook Air, running Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Hi,
    I have an update so I thought I would share in case any other users are experiencing a similar problem.
    I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
    I went in and they ran a thorough diagnostic check on my Macbook Air and determined that the sensors were indeed faulty - several were providing no information "No reading" instead of providing a temperature. Thus, the Air was unaware of the temperature across multiple components.
    Despite the laptop being outside the 12 Month Manufacturer Warranty, the Apple Store determined that it was covered under warranty through Australian Consumer Law - the laptop is now in for a complete repair under warranty at no cost to myself.
    I couldn't be happier.

  • I cannot access the internet, I tried to answer that said to go to settings, safari, tap clear history, cookies and cache, cut off, then on, but it did not work.  When I go to internet the screen is grey??? please help I am a new user!!

    I cannot access the internet the screen is grey, I have tried by using the answer from someone but it does not work...I went to settings, tap safari, then clear the history, cookies, and cache, then turn off ipad.  When I did that twice, it did not work.  How long does it take for the clear history to work?  I am a brand new
    user of the ipad2 and I am disappointed that this is happening already.

    Have you been able to access the internet previously and now it's suddenly not working, or are you still trying to access the internet for the first time on your iPad?  Are you at home trying to connect through your home router?  If you are at home, did you put your home routers encryption code as your password?  The encryption code is what your iPad is looking for and it is usually found on the router and is typically a 13 digit combination of letters and numbers.  Let us know......

  • SOME OF MY VISTED URL ARE NOT BEING CLEARD WHEN I CLEAR HISTORY. THEY ARE PRESENT IN AUTOCOMPLETE BAR

    i use firefox 16 and even if i clearly my history the autocomplete bar still shows some url when i type there 1st letter

    Do the sites that appear have a small star to the right of the URL? If they do, that means they are bookmarks. If that isn't the case, have you cleared your whole history, or just a certain time range?
