Can you auto delete history in safari

IIs there a setting to auto delete browsing history?

Hi kfkoffe,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you would like to keep your browsing history private, you can use the Private Browsing feature in Safari. Please read over the attached article for information on using Private Browsing.
Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Private Browsing protects your private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari won't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.
Best regards,
Joe

I can delete history in safari but when i tap the Google icon on home page, it doesn't work

I have Safari on the Home screen and it opens to Google. I never use that icon. There is also a separate Google icon. I want to delete all history and cookies from Google. I found instruction online for how to delete history from Safari which i did successfully. But when i touch the Google icon on Home screen, the history still is there. I just don't know what to do. There must be a way. btw, i don't know why i have both Safari and Google. I might have added Google when i got the iPod or perhaps somone else did. i'm not sure it was there when i bought it.
I really need to delete the history. There must be someone out there who can tell me... and I would truly appreciate getting a solution. Thanks loads!!!

I retraced my steps to how i got the Google app:
App Store icon on Home Screen > Search, at bottom > entered Google
The first Google App on the screen appears:
Google logo small g in blue square: Google Search; Open (because it is already installed). Below that is a picture of the iPod with the usual Google Search screen. I have never inserted a link into a discussion group so i hope you can open this.

Does this bring us any closer?

Is there a way to recover deleted history for Safari on an iPad2?

Is there a way to recover deleted history for Safari on an iPad2?

If it was on your iPad when you last backed up then you can try restoring to that backup - you will need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just restore a single app. Otherwise no, you can't recover it

Where can I find the history in Safari? It shows only 2 days while I have saved the history for 1 month.

Hello Barbara,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you are only seeing the 2 most recent days of your web browsing history in Safari.
If you haven't tried this yet, I suggest going to History > Show All History when Safari is open to see if more sites come up. You can find this step and more information at the following link:

HT201317 can you recover deleted photos in iCloud?

Can you recover deleted photos in iCloud?

If you mean photos removed from photo stream, unfortunately no. If you mean photos deleted from your camera roll, they are supposed to be included in your iCloud backup (although unfortunately not all users report success in getting them back). If you made a backup while these photos were still in your camera roll, you may get them back by restoring this backup to your phone. (Note, restoring a backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup, not just photos.)

I had Iphoto 08 and now is gone, I have under applications and is not there. Also most of the pictures are gone. Can you easily delete the application?

I had Iphoto 08 and now is gone, I have looked under applications and is not there. Also most of the pictures are gone. Can you easily delete the application?

Obviously you can.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Can you please delete my last question

Can you please delete my last question re: iCal in the iCal forums? Thanks. I would like to write it more calmly. Also, please advise how I can change an alias. I do not see a place in "Edit My Settings."

If you look at the announcement at the top of this topic, you will see one referring to changing your alias.

You can view your recent purchase history, and optionally contact iTunes Support about a problem with one of them, via this page (it doesn't show purchase numbers, but does list the items and their prices) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces'

Hi all,
I know that I can delete anchor points but I was wondering if there is a shortcut to do it on a larger scale.
Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces' the image, only on the parts obviously that you cover with the new one.
Thank you all

Hi,
I'm using CS6, and I have a tree vector image, and I am trying to put names on top, but when I do this to keep it clean with no anchor points (as my other software cant read it with all the points in it) I have to manually delete each one but it deletes the whole path and I then end up with a tree, names on top, and a big gappy circle around the names.
So really, I wanted to add the names on top, and have that delete all anchors underneath .
Does this make sense? :S

HT5824 How can you permanently delete books from Ibooks

How can you permanently delete books from IBooks?

You cant permanently delete them, but you can hide them.
Pop into iTunes, and in the iTunes Store under Quick Links along the right hand side, you can see Purchases, and then sign in, look at your books and click on the X in the top left and it will hide them so you dont have to see them.
Hope this helps.

Hi iCloud. Please can you kindly delete

Hi iCloud.
Please can you kindly delete ** @icloud.com from my Apple ID ** @gmail.com, I gave my ID to John my friend, when he was having difficulties passing the credit card setup step, and he created an iCloud email with my ID, I'm Osita Egeonu and I want an icloud email on my name to be associated with my Apple ID not that of my friend, I can create one if ** @icloud.com is deleted from my apple account.
<Email Edited by Host>

The @icloud.com address created when an iCloud account is created cannot be changed. You will need to get a new Apple ID and use it to open a new iCloud account.

How to delete the history on iPad in safari. Even if i delete the historie via the open book icon or via the preferences, even if the history seems blank if i click on the back arrow i CAN get all the previous visitée websites...how CAN i definitively delete the history, thank you for tour help.

If you close Safari completely e.g. via the taskbar, and then go into Settings > Safari and click Clear History and Clear Cache, then when you re-open Safari you should just get an empty page.

Make it so you cannot delete history

Hi, i want to make it so you cannot delete this history on my computer to monitor which sites my kids are using? How can I disable this so they cannot delete the history, and i only i can do it with a password or something?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
If they have access to your Safari/Preferences window then they can change the way in which your control the History using the pop up menu.
You might want to consider using Parental Controls.
Open System Preferences/Parental Controls
You may need to click the gold padlock icon to make changes. You will be prompted for your admin password.
Help here to set that up. http://theappleblog.com/2009/01/13/kid-proofing-a-mac-with-parental-controls/
And a video tutorial here. How to Setup and User Parental Controls in Leopard
You can use the Property List Editor to see which sites have been visited without the History trail.
Go to ~/Library/Safari and double click the History.plist file.
~ (Tilde) represents your Home Folder
The Property List Editor will open.
Click the black disclosure triangle next to: WebHistoryDates so it faces down.
You can view website addresses in the History there.

How can I view deleted history?

Hello! I would like to view my history from February 2014, but I am not able to view any history beyond March 2014. I am pretty sure that I deleted all of my history since February, but if anyone thinks that there might be another reason that I am not able to view this history then please let me know.
Please let me know of all of the ways that you can think of for viewing deleted history. Also, please let me know if it's possible that something besides deletion happened to this history and that I should be looking into other means to view my activity in February 2014.

You can make a backup copy of the current places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and see if you can restore an older copy of the places.sqlite from before you deleted that older history.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Director: Show Folder (Linux: Open Director; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Restore a previous version of a file:
*Right-click: Properties > Previous Versions
