Can NOT delete Safari-History

Safari 4.0 History and Top-Sites can NOT be deleted or removed!
Problem: After starting Safari 4.0.3 (SnowLeo 10.6.2) I clear the history and delete some of the top-sites. Then I delete the cache and settimng back Safari. Everything is deleted - o.k.!
Then ending Safari and restart it - wht happens: the complete hisrtory of yesterday including top-sites is back!
Whats the problem?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
See if this helps...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
If that does not help ... Quit Safari
Go to ~/Library/Safari and delete the Downloads/History/ and TopSites.plist files.
Just move those files to the Trash, then relaunch Safari.
Also, since you just updated to 10.6.2, if you didn't do so already, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the Firefox is being used

I think I have a solution.
First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
Wa-la...History Gone!!!
As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.
''I think it's the solution we've all been looking for!''

I am using Windows 7 and no matter what I try, I can not delete the history/search on the left of the screen? Even if I hi-lite and delete, it always comes back?

Have tried all the tips from troubleshooting. Private Browsing, checking and unchecking of boxes. It used to clear every time I closed Firefox? I don't normally open this or use it for links since I have most of what I use under Bookmarks...Thanks

If you created those prefs in a previous Firefox version then they will still be there, but they won't have any effect in current Firefox versions, so you can right-click them and choose reset to remove them.

If you delete the file places.sqlite in the Firefox Profile Folder then all history should be gone.

Can I lock or block the ability to delete safari history?

Your child should have their own account. That account can then be restricted with "Parental Controls".
There is a substantial set of "Parental Controls" available, including limiting to ONLY a WhiteList, OR a blanket "adult sites" restriction with or without an additional BlackList of your choosing.
There is also a restriction to whom s/he may send emails and with whom s/he may send instant messages. This is important.
Keep in mind that the REAL enemy on the Internet is not pørn. Pørn may give them a distorted view about how adults deal with sex.
But pørn will not make arrangements to meet your child after school. The REAL enemy on the Internet is unrestricted Chat rooms with strangers.

Can not delete Fox news icon from Safari Favorites Bar, keeps coming back

I can not delete "Fox news" icon from Safari Favorites Bar. Dogpile Search engine also. Both keep coming back with icons upon new opening of Safari.
I have removed these icons from the Book Mark files and Favorites Bar menu and any reference in the LIbrary and replaced them with less spammy evercookie news and search engines 3 times to no avail. I just upgraded Safari (April 2014) and it made no difference. These sites represent the paradigm I
no longer am putting energy into nor want which is why I have rid these increasing more corrupted and cookie agressive sites. But now.....
they won't let me go!! Any one no how?

Thank you for trying but no not the problem. Had the same problem with Iphone 4S. Would not connect to my mail server and tried to send me to fraudulent website in the UK/England.
I did a restore to factory restore to the phone with upgrade to newest operating system, my was up to date until OS 7 as I heard there were problems. Now it has OS 7.
Neither I nor verizon could get the phone up and connected for service again. Taking phone to
apple store on Tues.
I am suspecting the "heart bleed" vulnerability.

How can I delete the history of wireless connections? Need to delete it entirely, as I have a new airport extreme and I named the network the same as it had previously been,

How can I delete the history of wireless connections? I got a new apple extreme, and I kept that same network name as I previously had with the LinkSys. Now the Mac won't automatically connect to the network. Genious Bar fixed my Pro, they said that you have to delete all the history, not just the network name. I wasn't at the Genious Bar to see how they did it, now I need to fix the Mac. Appreciate any help!

Yes, so...
I have also closed iTunes, reset network settings on the iPad, then shut down and restarted the iPad. Still, I end up with greyed out rectangular icons for all the movies I've ever streamed from my Mac Mini to my ipad via my home wireless router.
Again, I have watched all the way to the end of the movie, selcted the movie in iTunes and chosen "mark as watched", and then deleted it in ITunes.
Any ideas?

Map Trash disappeared completely out of my account in TB. I can not delete messages anymore in Inbox. I created a submap in Inbox. Can not delete that either.

Suddenly, without any action on my side the Map Trash disappeared completely out of my account in TB. I can not delete messages anymore in Inbox. I created a submap in Inbox. Can not delete map that either. How to fix/restore this problems?

hope I do well!

Process Model:
Multiple Web Processes
Enabled Extensions:

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Can not open safari. When I launch safari it opens and closes very quickly

I have an internet connection but I can not open safari, my apps that require internet connection still work. When I launch safari it opens and closes very quickly. I have tried rebooting the Ipad several times, and have already cleared the history, cache and cookies. Please Help!!

As Michael says - a reset will most probably fix this.
Here are instructions on how to do this should you not have your manual handy:
Click Here - Support Page
And the iPad Manual:

Please let us know how it works out.
Best of luck..

Can not delete emails and tool bar at top does not change over

Can not delete emails and tool bar at top does not change over from safari. HELP

If you hold the command key down (the one with the ⌘ on it) and hit the + key you can make the fonts larger. Might help out, I know as I've gotten up there in years I've had to use it more and more
In the mean time while twtwtw mulls this over, can you supply any further information? Did the system crash or didi anything change before you started having the problem? Are you really running 10.5.8 as your profile says?
We'll start with those for now,
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano BTW ⌘- - (command minus) will make the fonts smaller

I can't delete my history. The "clear recent history" tab in tools is inactive.

I can't delete my history. The "clear recent history" tab in tools is inactive.

That probably means that you are in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing"
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.
