  • How to restore deleted safari browsing history on iPad 1

    How do I restore the Safari browsing history on an iPad 1?  When I click on the "open book" symbol and go to "history" there is nothing there.  Need to check on what sites have been visited.

    Private browsing is not one of my options.  It says "general" at the top, then:
    search engine
    autoFill
    Always Show Bookmarks Bar
    Then, "Security" is next and under it:
    Fraud warning
    Javascript
    Block Pop ups
    Accept cookies
    Clear History

  • History not deleted after rest in safari 7.0.5.

    Hi I just reset history by ticking reset safari but nothing has been removed.  Where did I go wrong ?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/History.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select  
              Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    ☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    ☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    ☞ What is the Modified date?
    If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • The clear History button is not activated in Safari... How do I activate it

    You're probably Private Browsing now which is why there is no history to clear.

  • Safari bookmarks & history not syncing with iPhone

    All of my history, readling list and bookmarks on Safari on my Macbook are no longer syncing with my iPhone. initially, my Safari on my macbook pro was syncing perfectly through sept. 2013. ever since then, nothing, including my history and bookmarks, from safari on my mac will sync anymore with the safari first on my iphone 4s and now my iphons 5s. i've already turned off the syncing options on both devices, turned them back on and restarted both devices, as per the suggestions from another post. STILL NOTHING. And with the update to the iOS on iphone as a few months ago, there is no longer the option to turn on and off the safari book sync options under settings on the iPhone or on iTunes. Help please!

  • Safari History not saving recent searches

    My Safari is not saving recent history. A few days ago my trackpad wasn't opening programs and now it seems to be fine. Now my preferences change every time I restart. Similarly, every time I reopen Safari, the newest history that shows is a few days old. For a few days now it's shown Friday the 17th (it's Monday now). I cleared the history and when I restart the application the history shows up like as if I never cleared it.
    Any help would be great, thanks.

    Repair Disk actions from the Install DVD
    Did Disk Utility report that the disk, "appears to be ok" ?? The instructions at that link were to check the startup disk for problems, not repair permissions.
    I didn't know how else to get to the user accounts
    Open System Preferences / Accounts. You can access non admin accounts there.
    If you haven't set one up, follow the instructions here.
    Creating a new user account: 10.5
    The reason we ask that users try another user account is to "test" Safari there. If you have the same "history" problems there with Safari, that's why you need to check the startup disk.

  • Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...)

    Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...) Now I would like to restore it via Time Machine

    Hi..
    If you deleted your Safari history, you may not be able to restore using TM but give this a try...
    Go to    ~/Library/Safari
    Look for the History.plist file.
    Best to not use third party utlities such as CCleaner. They tend to do more harm than good.

  • Could not restore iPhone after 7.1.2 update

    As a number of other people have posted here, I've encountered some problems with the iOS 7.1.2 update on my iPhone. Unlike most of the others, I've tried a number of possible solutions before resorting to asking here, and I have details of my efforts to share. My experience with this problem over the past twenty-four hours suggests that the standard advice I'm seeing given is insufficient for those of us having this issue.
    This started around 1 am EDT last night (this morning) when I did a standard sync of my 16 GB iPhone 4 in iTunes 11.2.2 in order to install a couple of newly updated apps. I will point out up front that it was not my intention to update to 7.1.2—I was still on iOS 7.1.1 and intended to remain there until I'd seen reports of others' experiences with the update. (I've been burned before by issues with an iOS update, and I tend to be cautious about them now, as it is a one-way trip.) In fact, my iTunes had not yet notified me of the 7.1.2 update; I knew of it from it having appeared as a notification on my phone itself.
    At the end of the sync, however, iTunes told me that it could not install one of my updated apps because there was not enough space. I normally try to keep about 1 GB free, so this seemed odd, especially considering that I had not added anything sizeable since my last sync earlier in the day. I was surprised to see that iTunes reported only 300 MB free on my iPhone. The culprit appeared to be the opaque "Other" category, which had since the prior sync ballooned from less than 1.8 GB to nearly 2.5 GB for no apparent reason.
    (Side note: Apple's insistence on not defining the contents of "Other" to users and not providing any reasonable means of cleaning it out continues to be an issue, which is compounded by its tendency to grow over time. Is it too much to ask that some housekeeping be enabled for this?)
    I have in the past had fairly consistent luck with purging old, outdated data from "Other" by doing a full reset and restore on my iPhone, so I set out to do this. Unfortunately, iTunes downloaded and installed iOS 7.1.2 instead of the installed 7.1.1, and I had no opportunity to change that. I was annoyed by this—a system reset should not force an OS update—but I didn't expect any significant problem from it.
    Once the reset completed, I got my first sign of real trouble: an error saying that my iPhone "could not be activated" and that I needed to call Apple. As it was roughly 2 am EDT by then, this was not an option at the time. After I accepted that error message, however, iTunes showed my phone with its correct name and information, and began the process of restoring the last backup (which had been made during that sync attempt an hour earlier). After several minutes, I got another error message saying that this backup could not be restored because it was "corrupt" or "incompatible".
    I was, at this point, prepared to simply accept that I would have to redo everything, and so started setting things up in iTunes so that I could pack it up and go to bed. I soon discovered, to my dismay, that while iTunes gave no indication that anything was wrong with my phone at this point, the phone itself was stuck on the pre-activation screens, demanding to be connected to iTunes to complete activation. iTunes itself revealed no options I could readily locate for initiating activation manually, and if I proceeded through the setup screens on the iPhone for the option of restoring from a backup, I simply ended up back where I was before after several minutes, with the phone demanding it be connected and iTunes saying the backup couldn't be restored.
    I gave up around 5 am EDT and went to bed. Later this morning I tried working with it some more. This time, I retrieved several of the last few days' mobile backups from my Time Machine backup (from ~/Library/Application Support/Mobile Sync/Backup, using Tri-Edre's Back-in-Time) and fed them into the phone, but each one returned the same "corrupt or incompatible" error. This included backups dating as far back as a week ago, prior to 7.1.2 becoming available.
    At this point I tried running setup on the iPhone as a new device. Fortunately, all the key information is tied to my Apple ID, so it was suitably reactivated with my carrier, and it knew which apps, music tracks, videos, pictures, and books were to be synced to it, so I didn't have to manually re-add them all. But it of course does not have any previous settings or local data stored, and my 178 apps that had been meticulously arranged into folders were now spread across 12 pages in alphabetical order. I'm still slowly going through everything to reset those missing settings and folder structure.
    Ultimately, I haven't lost anything of real importance besides time. Besides my iTunes backups, all my "real" data is kept in apps that sync with their OS X counterparts in some form (like Evernote and Dropbox). I had recently downloaded photos, so I have not lost any of those either, though since I don't save them to iCloud (for several reasons), those which I had retained on the phone in Albums are no longer there and will need to be re-collected and synced. Primarily, the only things that appear to be irretrievably lost are my call and SMS logs (iMessage history is still in OS X Messages, and voice mails are stored by my carrier), and saved data from games that don't link to Game Center. Not a big loss, to be sure—I'm still weighing whether it's worth paying the $50 to register iBackup Viewer Pro, which appears to be the only tool which claims to be able to extract data from encrypted iOS backups, in order to restore that data to the iPhone.
    My purpose in posting this, then, is not to ask for solutions to get my phone useable again—I already have that—but rather two other things. First, I wanted to present as much detail as I could about this issue to the community, since the other threads I've found here asking about this problem have yet to get past the initial "reset and restore from backup" advice, and my experience indicates that this isn't necessarily going to help, but resetting and setting up as a new device, then resyncing with your Apple ID/iCloud/iTunes can at least make the device functional again. I'll also point out that unless you encrypt your backups (which I do, because, well, duh), there are several utilities available, some of which are completely free, that can extract your data from your backups. Some of them even claim to be able to return that data directly back to the device. Given that this "corrupt or incompatible" error appears to not be stating the situation accurately, it's likely that your data is still intact in your backup despite the error message—iTunes just can't restore it directly to the device. (If you do encrypt your backups, the only utility I've found that claims it can extract anything from them is the aforementioned $50 iBackup Viewer Pro.)
    Second, I want to find out where this problem comes from: I had at first assumed that the "incompatible" message came from having a later version of iOS on the phone than had been present on the backups (though the official line has always been that while you could not restore a backup to an older iOS, there shouldn't be an issue with restoring to a newer one), but what I've seen on this forum indicates that this seems to be a problem in 7.1.2 itself being unable, in at least some cases, to accept backups from a previous iOS. Is this a viable hypothesis, or is there another factor at work here? If it is something specific to 7.1.2, is fixing it a priority?

    Pardon me for a moment while I (politely) rant in your general direction...
    This type of response is not just unhelpful—it is the antithesis of helpful.
    This is a support forum. Its purpose is helping to resolve people's problems. Sometimes those problems are going to require long explanations or lots of information. That either comes out in the original post or over the course of several back-and-forth replies; the former produces long posts but takes less time overall than the latter.
    If you don't have the patience to read through a long post, then just move on. Posting a "too long, didn't read" comment adds nothing beneficial to anyone. All it does is reveal that the person who made that comment thinks it's important to tell everyone that their attention span is too short for anything longer than a tweet.
    Yes, my post was long. Had you read it, you might have understood why it's so long. I'm trying to provide information that people searching these forums about this problem might find helpful. I did this because when I searched for info on this problem, I found lots of people with a similar problem, but no answers that went beyond "restore from backup". Since that advice wasn't the solution for me, I decided that more information might prompt someone with more knowledge and access than I have to investigate. Since you couldn't be bothered to read it, you clearly aren't the kind of person whose attention I was hoping to catch.
    Certainly I could have made the post shorter, but I think putting it into a narrative like this makes it easier to follow and provides a context that a terse recitation of bare facts does not. If you disagree, that's your prerogative, but please don't waste everyone else's time by posting a comment just to say that you didn't read it.
    I find it appalling that someone who's able to reach Level 6 on these support forums would post a "tldr" comment. That does not reflect positively on you or these forums.
    End of rant.

  • HT4972 After upgrading iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1 getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored" HELP!

    I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. I selected 'back up' from the phone in the device menu and iTunes confirmed that the phone had been backed up. I then installed iOS 5.1.1 which wiped everything on the phone & now I am getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
    I have tried restoring factory settings but iTunes simply will not restore from back up & I'm not sure what else to do!
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on.  If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

  • Adobe Flash Player does not work with Safari. What can I do?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro, Retina, 15 inch, late 2013,  2 GHz Intel Core i7, using OS X 10.9.4. I have installed Adobe Flash Player. In my System Preference, in the advanced settings, it is set to install updates also tells me that I have the NPAPI Plug-in (version 14.0.0.145) installed but not the PPAPI Plug-in. Is this the reason why it does not work with Safari (keeps telling me to download the app, which I did but still does not work)? Is there any way I could fix the problem? Please, help.
    Thanks.

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin 
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked  
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Site will not display in safari

    Hi There,
    This URL quite often doesn't load in Safari: www.svelte.net.nz - if it does load, click a link from the navigation and the next page will be blank.
    However, if you click and drag, you see a grey frame that can be dragged, and once you let go, the page loads.
    This site loads every time in Firefox & Opera for Mac and PC and IE 6 & IE 7 for PC.
    All the ISP URL cloaking code seems to be valid (http://validator.w3.org/) but there is a page error (iWeb) according to the W3 validator. Here is the error:
    This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!
    Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.
    Error Line 85 column 29: required attribute "action" not specified.
    <form id="search"></form>
    The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.
    Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.
    I've rung Apple in Australia and although they experience the same issue, they're practically useless when it comes to suggesting a fix. This is an extremely frustrating issue where Mac users cannot view our site.
    The amount of crap we receive from PC users is annoying. They suggest a change to the switch ads where although Mac is cool and funky, he's actually an idiot who can't read or write.
    Could someone please point me in the right direction or help me fix this issue? I've been waiting since November hoping for a Safari update fix.

    Ben --
    Your site opens fine (albeit a little slower than usual)
    in both Safari & Camino here.
    Have you done all these yet?
    Do these & report back, OK ?
    1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
    2. Trash your Icons Folder:
    HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
    Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
    (This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
    rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
    3. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
    Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.
    If you're still having problems:
    4. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
    5. Run YASU -- It's free, and will clean up old caches, etc.

  • Clearing google history from searchbar on Safari

    Yesterday my 85 year old neighbour rang in a panic thinking as he'd 'done something' and had **** on his ipad.  I went round to have a look and what I think he'd done was somehow visited an, er...'dodgy' site and bookmarked one of the pages however, it's not in his Safari bookmarks and I have cleared his history/cache many times over.  Whenever he presses the letter 'k' in his google search bar in Safari up pops 'Keisha rides a...' (you get the idea).  It seems to be either in his google bookmark or histsory (there is nothing else there, just this one link) I'm not sure which but I can't find any way to clear this as he doesn't have a google account so I can't clear it that way, and this is within Safari itself but obviously stored on the google servers.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    PS. I know he could use another search engine within Safari but he likes google and just wants to get rid of this pest.
    PPS. I realise this has a 'I'm asking for a friend...' quality. LOL!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
