Delete History in Safari without Deleting Data

I cannot delete JUST the HISTORY without deleting WEBSITE DATA in Safari with OS X Yosemite. Every time I delete the history, I lose all my cookies that I need for certain websites. Will Apple please fix this?

Create an application from this Applescript with AppleScript Editor and run it whenever you want to clear just the history:
tell application "Finder"
activate
delete file "History.db" of folder "Safari" of folder "Library" of folder "XXXX" of folder "Users" of startup disk
empty trash
end tell
where XXXX is your Home folder name or user short name.

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

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?

How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac

How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac?

To remove a photo from iPhoto and your Mac:
Put it in the iPhoto Trash, then enpty it. Then empty the system trash as well
If you want to remove a photo from iPhoto but keep it on your Mac:
First Export the file from iPhoto (File -> Export) to whereever you want it and then go through the steps above.
Confusion arises as the notion that you would want to remove a pic from iPhoto but keep it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like saying I want to remove one address from Address Book, but still keep it on my Mac. The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they are used to manage your photos. Anything that you need to do with the pics cn be done either with or via iPhoto.

How to delete account from thunderbird without deleting from server

I am lending a PC with Ubuntu and Thursderbird to a friend for a trial period. I want to delete two email accounts in Thunderbird without deleting same from the email server. The information in help seems to indicate that if I delete my accounts, those accounts will also be deleted from the server. This is not desireable - is there a way around this this? Thanks!

'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select the account}'''
At the bottom of the pane listing your accounts, look for '''Account Actions''', and when you click that, look for and click on '''Remove Account'''.
Doing this removes the account from Thunderbird. It actually retains the data files associated with the account but removes the account entry and its settings. What's on the server remains untouched - well, at least that is my understanding. Can you provide a link to the help that suggested otherwise?
In theory, unless you encrypt your home folder, a savvy user could find the mail store in your profile and read it. You might want to go a step further and remove the entire profile.

Deleting an email account WITHOUT deleting emails sent to it

I haven't dared try this for awhile so forgive me (and let me know) if this has been fixed in a recent upgrade of mail.
I have several email accounts in mail. I need to keep the mail sent to one of the addresses that I no longer use (because it got too much spam). Last time I tried to delete the account, every single email ever sent to that email address was deleted as well. As they are business emails I need to keep, this is VERY problematic. My messages are all neatly filed in about 60 separate project folders within mail.
So my question is - how do I keep the mail messages but delete the account?
At the end of the day I need to be able to access the mail messages again by using some kind of search function. They don't necessarily have to stay in mail but they do need to be accessible again. Is this possible?

Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes. If you move those messages to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes or to the mailboxes of another account, you won’t lose them. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
And just to be clear, it’s not just the messages in Inbox that would be deleted if you delete the account. Messages in any of the other account’s mailboxes (i.e. Drafts, Sent, Trash, Junk) would also be deleted if you don’t move them to other mailboxes as well.
Alternatively, a quick and simple procedure to create a duplicate of the account’s mailbox structure as “On My Mac” mailboxes would be importing them doing File > Import Mailboxes, choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and selecting the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver account folder.
That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Can I delete an email account without deleting the previous emails from it

I have several emails from my own website ([email protected]) set to POP in Mail. Because of an overrun of spam, I disabled one of the accounts in Mail, and then deleted in at my website account. I have 2 others that I wasn't using, so I did the same. I didn't want to delete them in Mail, because I heard that would delete all the emails from it. So I just disabled them. But I see in Connection Doctor that they are still trying to connect to my website to retrieve email. Do I need to completely delete them from Mail? And if I do, if the emails are all moved out of the Inbox into folders I've created (mostly smart mailboxes) are they safe from being deleted? Will it only delete from Inbox, Send, and Trash?
Thank you.

Select the messages you want to keep, then select
Message > Archive
from the menu bar. A new mailbox will be created for each account from which you archive messages, and the messages will be kept when you delete the account and its mailboxes. Nevertheless, be sure to back up all data before making any changes.

I have 20 GB of music stored on my Macbook Air (2011) and only 7GB in my iTunes library? How can I delete the extra music without deleting any of my 7GB in my iTunes Library?

I have no idea how to go through my folders and delete all this extra music without deleting whatever the 7GB is in my iTunes!
Please help!
Thanks!

If you use iTunes' default preferences settings, anything in your collection will be in your iTunes Media folder. When you add a track to iTunes it places a copy in the iTunes folder but leaves the original where you downloaded it. The exceptions are if you use the Automatically Add To iTunes folder it does move it, or you drag items to iTunes while holding down the option key in which case it uses the copy wherever it is.
As for where the other files are, you will have to look on your computer. Use Spotlight to search for .mp3 .mp4 or whatever file formats you have. If they aren't in the iTunes folder and iTunes lists them as being in the library then likely they are the original files which you can delete.
You will have to do some careful checking that whatever you delete is not the file actually used by iTunes. If you have a flash drive or another drive for temporary storage i would stick the extra files there and then if something breaks you can restore them

Sorry, you can't delete individual calls from the Recents list. I don't know of an app that can do it and I don't I think one could be created due to Apple's restrictions on what features an app can interface with. Check here... http://appshopper.com/

Is there a way to delete email from iPhone without deleting on macbook

Is there a way to delete email from the iPhone without deleting it from my macbook?

logging out and logging back in to your email account in the iPhone's Settings will erase all the emails saved in the iPhone (without deleting them from your email server). That way, it will only load again the email when you open it.
