History in Safari

After using Safari to visit Internet sites, the history of where I've been cannot be seen in the history tab off of the open book icon?  Please can you advise me as to how I can keep the history?  Thanks

  • Deleting facebook search history in Safari

    I'm not able to delete my facebook search history in Safari.  Can anyone help?  I've tried clearing history, cache, cookies, etc.
    Thank you!

    Ok...maybe preferences are corrupted...
    Go to ~/Library/Prerferences
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Quit then relaunch Safari, go to the menu bar click History > Clear History
    If that helped, move the .plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If you don't want history saved when you visit Facebook, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Private Browsing

  • Clear Google search history from Safari Toolbar (v.4.0.3 and up)

    How to clear your search history. TEDIOUS but works.
    *Delete Google results pages from the history*
    In Safari 4.0.3 and up, you may now search your history. Search for the URL string www.google.com/search? and delete the records that match it.
    *Clear the search strings from the toolbar*
    Quit Safari then from the Terminal, run this command:
    defaults delete com.apple.safari RecentSearchStrings
    When you start Safari again, the search history should be empty.
    Somebody could probably build a shell script that searches the History.plist XML file and deletes the <dict> sections AND resets the Safari plist at the same time. I'm not that good with string manipulation, so I'm hoping somebody with experience could pick this up. Then that shell script could be made into an AppleScript or set up with Automator. Wishful thinking?

  • 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.

  • Deleting part of history in Safari

    When using Safari, I find that I want to delete some items in my history (e.g. 5 items out of 10).
    Instead of clearing all history. How do I do this? Any help would be appreciated.
    Marta

    Dear Friends,
    Just by accident, I solved my own problem about deleting only part of my history in Safari. I clicked on “show all bookmarks,” then clicked on “history” and deleted only the items I wanted. To anyone who tried to help me with the answer, thank you but it won’t be necessary.
    Aloha,

  • After installing IOS6: after erasing the history of Safari, the next time I fire up Safari, I see a split-second of the last displayed screen of Safari. Not a big issue but it should not be that way.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • 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

  • How do I go back further than 30 days in my "history" in safari?

    I need to go back in my history on Safari further than the 30 days mine is showing.  How do I do this?  I need to see 35 or 40 days back.  Please help. 

    Safari only keeps the last month of its history unless instructed otherwise in the General tab of its preferences. If you have an earlier backup, check its version of the History.plist file.

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

    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:

  • No History in Safari on my iPAD

    For some strange reason when I go to history in Safari nothing is recorded yet on my iPHONE and iMAC it appears. Anyone have any ideas?

    Tap the + sign in the upper right corner of the Safari Toolbar. Them look for the word "Private" in the lower left portion of the screen. Tap "Private" to turn off private browsing and your history will be retained again.

  • 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?
