Getting someone else's google search history?

Hello, I'm receiving my friend's google search history on my iPhone. The problem started about two weeks ago, when she bought one, and because she couldn't get an apple ID right away, I gave her mine to download some apps, and logged out. When the search history first appeared on my device I realized it was hers, so I changed my apple id password (i guessed that could be the problem). That did not work, I'm still receiving the webs she visits, which I find so annoying. Also, I feel like i'm invading her privacy. I've seen other people have had this problem before, but I have not find out the reason, how can I solve this problem? Thank you! (We are both using Iphone 5s and have the latest iOS)

When she had access to internet, she created her apple ID, and she asked for my email adress to set it as an alternate address to recover her password in case she lost it. I didn't verified her account when I received the mail from apple.

How to delete google search history in safari on itouch ?

Hi All !
I would like to know how I can delete the google search history in safari?
Thanks

I just found the answer somewhere else in the forum - it worked for me.
Clear it while in Safari by going to bookmarks, then "History," and then the "Clear" button in the bottom left.

Getting someone else's e-mails

For the past month I have been getting someone else's e-mails. It started with a warning that my account would be shut down if I didn't pay; then I got thank yous for renting two movies that I didn't rent. Now I have been told after several warnings that my account is good. I have contacted Verison three times to resolve the issue. All three times I was told that my two accounts were current and ignore. However, I am still getting someone else's e-mails. Evidently this is beyond Verizon's ability to fix - they cannot do a search on a particular e-mail and see what shows up. I am quite frustrated by this and there is someone else who is not getting his/her e-mails. Any suggestions other than simply ignore?

Can't give you advice, but will tell you I went though and still go through the same thing. Someone has an email that is similar to mine and I get all their personal emails, tax info, when they were buying a house, I emailed the people once I dug through and found the actual email, Verizon said there was nothing they could do. All I do now, is delete them as they come in. Its irritating though.

Google search history not private?

Hello, I'm receiving my friend's google search history on my iPhone. The problem started about two weeks ago.
When the search history first appeared on my device, I realized it was hers.
First of all: she asked for my apple ID to download some apps on her first iPhone (whats'app and facebook) because she couldn't get an apple ID right away. Then she logged out. (i've also changed my password)
Then, I helped her create her apple ID, and she asked for my email address (outlook account) to set it as a secondary account to recover her password in case she lost it. (She's using a google account as a primary account).
When I received apple's e-mail, I didn't verified the account, because I was guessing that could have been the problem. (It didn't stop)
Another thing I did, was to share a personal hot spot with her,cause she didn't have internet access (i'm sure this is not the reason, but just in case...)
I don't understand why I'm able to see every single thing she googles, I find it annoying and also I feel like I'm invading her privacy, this should never happen!
Please, help me solve this!

Hi,
thank you very much. However, it did not work. But now I know, I should've been more accurate. Well, my problem is not with the google search field next the brosing field, but with my iGoogle engine. I know that Google has a private search history by account and I deleted all --- nothing happened. When trying to search something, I find keywords older than a month. Moreover, in fact, it is not just with Google but with any other sites where search is needed.
I simply don't know what to do! Any smart idea?

How do you clear google search history

How do you clear google search history. I tried the clear history in settings and all the old searches are still there

In Safari, use the open book symbol to go to bookmarks. At the top of the list is "History", tap history and then tap the clear button on the bottom left of the screen. That clears the search history as well.

TS3276 Why am I getting someone else's email in icloud acct?

I am getting someone else's email at my icloud.com account . This person has same email as me. Emails are all UK based

It is most likely that they have either mistyped their address or have somehow got the notion that your address is actually their address (inexperienced people do sometimes do this sort of thing).
Since you can't contact them (as you would just get the message back) I can only suggest responding to a suitable message to them and asking the sender if they can contact this person by another method and explain their error. As you have their credit card number possibly you could identify the card issuer (you could ask your bank - the first four digits would identify it) and contact them.
I don't think, given your description, that this is likely to be a phishing attempt.

I don't share my account with anyone. In my iPhone settings>iCloud>Notes is turned off. I checked my computer's iCloud notes and none of the other person's notes are on there. What am I suppose to do?

Google search history

Hi,
My problem is, that I simply can't figure out how to clear Google search history from Google search field. I tried reinstalling Safari but records still seem to occour and obviously tend to be stored at some other place on my computer than Safari's deafalt folder (as they remain). Other help suggestion including that one with some com.apple.Safary.plist did not particularly work, I s'pose cause I have Vista not Mac
Does anybody have some smart hints?
Please help! Thanx so much!

How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it.
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions.

SAFARI 6: how do I clear Google search history?

There used to be an option at the bottom of the scroll down search bar for CLEAR SEARCH.
Now that Safari 6 has adopted the single info bar, that option seems to have disappeared.
So how do I clear search history?
I don't want to clear all history (i.e. sites visited),
just search history.

Thank you,
but the point of my question was precisely that in 2012,
the way that Google is presented within Safari is different
(e.g., there is now just a single search bar),
so some of the info on the old threads is no longer relevant.
That is why I titled the qustion clearly "SAFARI 6".
However, I have discovered the answer myself.
I think I was being just too impatient.
The same option of CLEAR RECENT SEARCHES does come up
if you click and hold on the magnifying glass icon to the left of what is now the single Google search bar.
This click and hold opens a roll-down menu, and near the bottom is the CLEAR RECENT SEARCHES option.

How to clear Google search history

HI,
Ever since I updated to 2.1 it has been impossible to clear my Google search terms. Clearing the cache, cookies, etc in 'settings' has no effect.
Does anyone know how to clear them?

I'd try a reboot just to see if it fixes the issue.
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.
