How do I clear history? why can't I clear history?

1 I cannot download latest update I click on it but it never finds the server
2 - I cannot clear history - when I try - nothing happens
3 - my computer / macbook pro is so slow now - what's happening?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 35.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Why can't I clear the chat history in Android?

Why can't I clear the chat history in Android?
[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "skype"]

Hello, dmitry72, and welcome to the Skype Community!
Sorry you're having trouble doing such a simple task. Unfortunately, you are correct in your findings - unlike the desktop version of Skype, there's no way to simply clear your chat history in one swift motion other than clearing the data or uninstalling the app. You can, however, clear the chat history of a conversation by deleting it. The only downside to the workaround is the amount of time it would consume if you desired to remove every conversation.
Your feedback can change Skype, so do send the developers some using the app! They're listening, so you may send this (or take a chance that this gets noticed by developers) and other bright ideas you may have about Skype for Android. You might see some great changes in the upcoming versions!
The option to send feedback is within the Settings menu on the latest version of Skype.
Thanks for your feedback!

Why can't I clear my history? Always used to be able to? What have I done differently?

My history will not clear whilst in use and only clears when Firefox has been closed.

Hi Bobby,
Your upgrade to Mavericks shouldn't pose a problem. Where is the form stored? Is the form (and the response file) on your computer? Or is it stored on Acrobat.com? You originally said you were receiving the response data, but then it stopped working. Did anything other than your OS upgrade change?

Why can't I clear my browsing history in safari

I am trying to clear my browsing history on my iPhone 4 but the bit ton is gray and won't allow me to select it in either the settings menu or in the actual browser. I also tries putting my safari app into private mode but for some reason cannot find the button... It should be in safari at the bottom when I choose to look at multiple tabs (or at least that's where I have always found it) but I don't see it anywhere. I am not sure if this is a problem with the new iOS update I just got or if I somehow changed my settings somewhere to not allow these functions but it is really annoying not being able to clear my history... Please help me figure out how to fix this

Hi,
Once you delete your History, make sure you fill it back up again!
Go to www.fillmyhistory.com for a quick, easy and safe way to fill up your browser.
Nothing is more suspicious than an empy Internet History!

Why can't I clear my history in FF9?

Clearing recent history caused ff to lock up in FF8 so I upgraded to FF9 and it doesn't lock up, but it doesn't clear history either.

Which items are you trying to clear?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why can't I clear recent history in FF 4.0

Since downloading FF 4.0 I have been unable to clear recent history. The dialog box opens, I select time frame and click "OK". The box "hangs". After a period of time I click the "X" / Close button and FF closes et. al. Doesn't matter the time frame selected. I even tried it in "Safe Mode"...no difference.
OS = WinXP Pro SP3

It is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Why canI not change places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages in about:config?

OK this is strange: I go into about:config (firefox 32.0.3 running under Windows XP SP 2),
and the value is locked at 26794 - if i try to modify it the modify box comes up, but no matter what number i enter it stays at 26794.
ALSO, i am using CUSTOM SETTINGS for privacy and i have checked off CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES, then under settings i check off CACHE and BROWSING AND DOWNLOAD HISTORY to be cleared, BUT after i close firefox and return, my history is not cleared. The only way i can delete history is to manually enter it and delete it. IDEAS???

The places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages pref is a read-only pref that shows the result of Firefox calculating how many pages you can safely save on your computer without affecting performance.

Why can't I clear Browsing and Download,and Forms and Search histories when selected.

I want to eliminate some errors in addresses and autofil that continue to be primary response when I try to enter the correct address. I also can't clear the drop down list of suggestion, either singularly or all when I followed the Firefox suggested fix.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Why can't I find history of all my purchases iPad

Back to a previous question I have asked before, but nobody seemed to state the obvious as I'm doing now !
As per my previous question that my sons I.D keeps coming up when I want to update.
As I am simply trying to remember which apps I bought, I'm trying to find my purchase history of all my
Apps I have installed. Which I cant seem to find!! In my account where do I find a list of all my apps then I
Can then sort things out!!!

Why can't I clear a spreadsheet cell marked as having a circular reference?

I have a spreadsheet cell, FH67, with the formula " =30*FG67/sum(FG38..FG670) " that is marked as a circular reference. All cells referred to are either numbers or are the formula " = FD40*FE40 ". This should not be a circular reference! This same formula occurs in about every 5th column without any circular reference being noted.
The real problem is that I cannot alter that cell in any way without the rotating round ball appearing and then nothing can be done until I force quit AppleWorks.
I assume that something has corrupted the cell. How can I correct the problem?
iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9)
iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
It looks like a circular reference to me. The cell FG67 to be divided is also in the sum (FG38 through FG670). But I'll let you sort that out.
I don't get the spinning beach ball/lollipop when I accidentally create a circular reference, so I doubt that's the cause. The usual cause of that is a full Recent Items folder. Of course, any time you force quit AppleWorks, some corruption of the preferences is likely. First I suggest you check the Recent Items & then delete the AppleWorks preferences before trying that spreadsheet again.
Some user tips for more information on Recent Items & AppleWorks preferences:
AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?
Recent items not visible/updated

I've loaded Firefox, I get led to everything other than how to use it. Why can't I just get a usable Web page?

I have uninstalled Firefox several times today. I attempted to reinstall and kept getting "update" pages that do not seem to lead to a Firefox browser. I've looked at the help pages and they lead to confusing but unhelpful sequences. I want to use Firefox to use bookmarks and to extend material that will be helpful to me as I pursue Web sites.
I'm not interested in complex and multilayered until I can get basic functions operating as I expect them to operate.
I started using Firefox 6 months ago and it worked fine. I liked it and it served me well. I recently updated to #37.0 and since then, I cannot get past the first page which instantly shifts to a page the give me options that are useless to me.

Why can't I clear the queue on my laptop.

I have a Photosmart C6380 all in one printer on a net work and one of the computers has a document in the queue that will not cancel . The laptop is a HP pavilion dv6000 running windows 7. I have tried to cancel the document with no success, it says it is deleting but never does. I have tried restarting several times but that doesn't help.
This question was solved.

Try the Print Diagnostic Utility I linked below to clear the print queue on the DV6000.

Why Can't You Clear Entries under Open Recent?

Seems simple enough, and despite my searching through several forum pages, I can't seem to find the answer. I saw that you can under the Apple Menu, but the Photoshop files stay intact.

You're right, too much of a hassle to go probing into code. It's not like I'm trying to hide anything nefarious or illegal. I used a co-worker's computer (who is out sick today) to open some files on a USB drive that I have that wasn't working on my computer. But when he returns, I didn't want him to think I was snooping around. No big deal though, since I am his supervisor anyway.
Buko - Hardly a good enough reason to upgrade.
Thanks!

Why can I not clear previous email addresses?

I accidentally tried to login to my Amazon account with [email protected] instead of [email protected] Now when I use the Amazon login page and start typing ken etc it displays both the incorrect and correct email addresses in the drop down. However, if I select the correct one it replaces it with the incorrect one because it is at the top of the list!
Any ideas please?
Ken

I had tried that, but it would not delete it.
I have solved the problem now as I found the 'Stored emails' in the Options section.
Many thanks though.

Why can't I increase the cache size in FF 4?

OK, first of all, to be honest I really don't like FF 4. I see absolutely no advantages over the previous versions and I can't find anything to like about FF 4..
One big and annoying factor (besides the how UI and layout) is why can't I increase the cache size?
If I choose to manage it myself and override what the developers did, I can go to 1024 and that's it. If I want 5GB of cache, I'm out of luck because some coded decides how I want to manage my disk space? They're kidding, right?
What the heck is the matter with these guys?
This thing is so bad that I've resisted upgrading, I didn't have a choice when I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, it came with the package.. Yuk... I've been a FF user since late 2003 or early 2004... I'm about to part ways with this thing if they don't fix it...Even IE sucks less than this thing....
None of my Windows machines are going to get 4 loaded if I can help it.. About 1 million people agree with me...

correction.. It's not a million.. it's legion at this point..
Google "I hate FF 4" and you'll get 40,900,000 results... I don't trust Google further than I can throw them, but 41 million people complaining about this thing? What a freakin travesty...
