How can I delete history and cookies without opening safari?

seems like I may have virus, a website keeps popping up and says I may have an infection and I am to call a number. If I close safari, when I reopen it that same website automatically opens up. I can't get to the menu to delete cookies or history as the pop up blocks it all  Help!

To recover from that read "Ransomware" web pages.

  • How can I delete damaged picture files without opening iPhoto?

    I was downloading a few pics from my roommates professional-quality camera (I'm assume the file sizes are huge) and, of course, I had to download all 150 or so, instead just the few I needed. Anyway, I got a message that some of the files were "damaged" and couldn't be downloaded. Now, when I open iPhoto it either just locks up or shows some of the files downloaded, doesn't show others, and then locks up. So, what I need to do is just delete all pictures from that date without opening iPhoto .... any ideas how to do this?

    1 - In the future if you want only certain photos use image capture (in your applications folder) - with it you can selective load photos
    2 - try rebuilding your library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three rebuild options
    Do not use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library

  • How can I delete user and password saved in Safari

    Hi, this is the first time I use Apple Support Communities.
    I have a problem with Safari. I want to delete the information of users and password of Safari's autofill, so I go to Safari - Preferences - Autofil - User and password - Edit, and when I click on delete all, the only thing that happens is that all the information remain selected. I try to uninstall safari, but I can't. I'm using  the Spanish version of Lion. What can I do? I like using Safari, but I want to delete this information. 

    Solved. It was all related with keychain

  • How can I delete history without deleting cookies on safari yosemite?

    how can I delete history without deleting cookies on safari yosemite?

    actually, if I click on history and go to bottom and delete history, with Yosemite, it will delete cookies and all... I get message: if you delete history, you will delete cookies and other information from web sites.
    to avoid that the procedure is this: History > Show History>Select All>Delete. 
    thanks for trying to help.
    good day.

    Here's the error message I get.
    Note the TC is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet and my iMac is also connected to the AX via ethernet so it's not a wifi issue.
    I can see the TC in the finder so it's not 'gone' from the network either.
    Also note that just then the TM system pref pane was claiming a backup error, citing my 'network password' and still refusing to backup.  I waited 5 minutes and did some tidying of my office while I pondered this and then tried again and voila it worked ok.

    It's not a virus.
    Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.

    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.

  • How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

    Please help!!!!
    How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
    I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
    While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

  • I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

  • I am freeing up some space and am using osx lion, but i have 12gb of back ups, how can i delete these and what are they?

    I am freeing up some space and am using osx lion, but i have 12gb of back ups, how can i delete these and what are they?

    Gotcha.
    Back-ups are what they are: a safety copy. If you feel you don't need them, you can trash them. They could be of a previous System if you upgraded, or something else. You wont get the full picture from looking at system profiler.
    You may want to look into getting an external drive and offloading some stuff to it.

  • How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    If these are purhased movies they are not stored in your iCloud account and cannot be deleted.  They are stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased movies, allowing you to redownload them.
    If you don't want to see these in the Videos app, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn Videos off under Show All.
