How to backup visited links on Safari

Greetings
You know, each time you visit a link, those links are getting highlighted on Safari as purple.
Due to my work, i cannot loose those visited links as marked .
I wanted to ask if there is a way to back up those visited links, so if i upgrade my OS system, that the visited links should always stayed as the way they are
I would like to upgrade my OS to maverick, but i am a bit in worry that i will loose those visited links.
Is there a way to back up this ?
Thanks for your helps

Hi there
I tried to reinstal a new system , and icloud couldnt bring back the "visited link which marked purple by the system"
So i swiitched back to old system.
Seems like iCloud is only backing up bookmarks, well, history partially yes, but not restoring the purple colors on visited links
It looks like this is somewhere hidden in the system .
Any ideas?
My system is crashing, and this is crucial for me to instal a new system, but on the other hand i cannot loose those link, which are a lot, i mean a lot as i am a writer .
I really need help about that.
thanks a lot , really appreciated !

Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color

Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color after I close the tab, put the iPad in sleep mode (or whatever it's called), or when I power off the iPad.
There are certain sites I visit where it comes in very handy to be able to see which links I've already clicked on. The links will stay the "visited" color during the time I'm on the site, but later they all go back to the "unvisited" color.
Is there any way I can fix this on an iPad?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

How to restore visited link state to unvisited

Hi all -
I have a pseudoclass which nicely shows a gray background
after being
visited.
After clicking in ie6 browser, the links remain gray forever!
I am unable to view in the pre-visited state to show a client
sitting next
to me.
I am viewing on my local machine
There are no cookies being set
Flushing cache doesn't do it
Closing browser doesn't do it
Even rebooting the machine doesn't do it
I guess my question is, "where is my WinXP machine
remembering the visited
state?"
Anybody know this one? Many thanks
CSS follows
a.inactive
{border: 1px solid #000000;color: #000000;text-decoration:
none;padding: 4px
7px
a.inactive:visited
{border-color: #000000; text-decoration: none;background:
#CCCCCC; color:
#000
a.inactive:hover
{border-color: #000000; text-decoration: none;background:
#B30000; color:
#fff

Visited links on safari do not change color

Hi, I use safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and when i browse the search results on google, the color of visited links does not change (it should turn form blue to purple). This does not happen when i use other browsers. I have already tried to reset and empty cache.. ANy suggestions?? this is very annoying

I don't know if they're not changing color for you, but for me the purple (visited link) looks too similar to the link (blue) for my bad corneas to distinguish unless I squint.
I found the link below helped, and it works!

How to email a "link" from Safari?

Since upgrading to Lion I can't figure out how to send a "link" from a Safari page in Apple's Mail. Example: I am surfing "MacSurfer" and I click on a link to read it. I then decide to email the link to my daughter. I used to be able to open Mail and drag the URL into the body of the email. Now, in Lion, the URL of the link just says "Go To This Address". I can't seem to have both apps (Safari and Mail) open at the same time on my desktop. And what's up with the "Go To This Address" thing in the URL so often?
I have both Mail and Safari each set up as "Full Screen" so they will be permanently stuck on a desktop in Mission Control. Could this have something to do with it?
I'm also running into another issue in Safari. If I click on a link and a new page opens many times there are no "traffic lights" (red, yellow, green in upper left of page) and the "Back" arrow is greyed out. Also, the contextual menu does not offer to go back. The only way to close the page is to quit, which causes me to close Safari all together.
What am I missing?
And while I'm on my ***** fest here…I'm not thrilled with this new discussion board either. It wasn't broke, so why "fix" it? (Maybe I'm just getting old and don't adapt to change so well.) OK, I feel better now!

Can someone help?
In Safari File: Mail:Link o This Page has stopped working on my macbook pro running Lion-- all of a sudden I am seeing this error message when I want mail a website link to someone:
An email message can’t be created to send the link because Safari can’t find an email application.
This message does not show when I click on a hyperlink within the body of a webpage viewed in Safari.
This does not happen in Firefox. The File: Mail Link works just fine. Maybe I should stop using Safari but I like it!!!
I checked all of the system preferences suggested in various support documents. Did I miss something?

How to keep visited links from changing color?

FIRST, I want to say that it took me 10 minutes to find (accidentally) how to start a new thread. In my profile? Could it be any more obscure?
</rant>
Yeah, I go to change page properties and make links and visited links the same color. It still changes, and this happens to be on a page where the background color provides poor contrast to the color the links are changing to. Is there a way to do this that is not overridden by the web gods? Or whatever?
Thanks

Yeah, I'm a dinosaur.
Learned HTML from Elizabeth Castro's first edition; then went to DW MX,
where I am stuck. Works for me, obviously with imperfections, as I am
hardly cutting edge multimedial gripping Web designer.
Thanks for observations.
I'll ask for help again: I really, truly, cannot find how to start a
thread on the forum, nor reply to one, and all that. I don't see any FAQ
tht elementary, nor anyone to e-mail for guidance. If you can offer a
little of that, I will be grateful.
Thanks,
Denno
It's a very dated website using extremely outdated code.
Â
There's a whole mix of HTML formatting and font tags in there which were
deprecated 10+ years ago.
Â
This all means that the website will behave in strange ways sometimes.
Â
Although it can be fixed, it would take hours to debug, explain and
implement the changes required, particularly if you've never used CSS
styling before.
Â
You're better off investing some cash in a modern, well coded, CSS
formatted template which will give you a sound foundation.
e.g. http://www.projectseven.com/products/templates/index.htm
Â
Then you can add your content and get good results quickly.

How long do visited links stay purple?

When I directly click on or open a blue underlined link in a new window (or tab), the link I used to open the new window or tab turns purple, indicating that it has recently been visited. I know that at some point in time, the visited link (purple), turns back to the normal color of light blue. A few years ago, I remember finding an option (I think it was Firefox but I'm not certain) to set the length of time a visited link remained purple. Does anyone know if this is a feature that be changed?

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to make sure that you keep history.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
* Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"

Changing Safari Font Color for Visited Links

Is there a utility or some other way to change the color of visited links in Safari? The current blue/purple colors are very difficult to distinguish and I would like a more dramatic color change for visited links. Thank you for any help.

Visited link safari

Visited links in Safari restarted some sites becoming again a review. Why?

Why visited links change color to unvisited?

Black highlight for visited links

I just noticed that, starting a few days ago, all visited links in Safari are now black.
Of course, if I clear History, then the links go back to blue. But, one click, and it turns black at next visit. It is NOT website-specific.
How would I remedy this? It's driving me crazy.

Prior to posting my first query here, I had cleared the history (Safari > History > Clear History) and it did indeed bring back the original blue links. So, I could call it one solution.
But, as I recall, it used to be that a simple reload of the same page brought back the blue links. I wonder why this is not happening anymore???

How to delete "Nav-Link" ??

Hello,
I would like to know how to delete "Nav Link" on Safari (Macbook Pro).
Some words are green underlined.
Help me!

You refreshed (reloaded) the webpage(s) after switching extensions off ?. (it's been due to that before)
If so, copy the line below (lncluding the initial ~), then paste it into Finder - Go menu - Go to Folder, & click Go.
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Are there any files shown in the window that opens ?. If so, move them to the desktop, quit Safari, then check again.
Some users have found advertising to be caused by Glims : is that something you have ?.

How do I stop Safari from Changing Visited Links Color's?

I recently switched from Firefox to Safari since I find Safari much faster. I do have one annoyance though. When I click a link (especially in forums) and revisit a page with that link, Safari is changing the link's color. Firefox did this too, it changed visited links from blue to purple.
I would like to set it somehow so Safari doesn't change the color of visited links at all. Is this possible? When I googled I saw many different posts about using custom made CSS style sheets. I just want to get an 'official' or more relevant answer since many opf those posts were years old. I'm using the latest Safari.
Thanks!

AFAIK, it's not possible with preferences, per se. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7183566 and http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/csslinks.html for possible hints. You might also investigate modifying one of Safari's css files, inside the Safari app—left as an exercise, with no guarantees that you won't cripple something.

Change visited link color in Safari 5.1.3

Visited link colors in Safari, most notably visited Google links when I return to the search page, don't change colors as they used to do... Actually, I think it's been that way for a long time (years) now but I am just now coming back around to being interested in why and if there is a way to get back to the days where new links were BLUE and visited links were GREEN (or whatever color you wanted)...
Is this still possible with the new Safari and if so, how do you go about setting this visted link color preference???
thanks... bob...

This appears to be an issue affecting most versions of Safari from about version 5 onwards.
I recently experienced it with Safari version 5.0.6 and eventually found a fix adequate for my purposes.
1 - Sometimes simply selecting 'Private Browsing' (on Safari menu) and then deselecting it cures the problem.
2 - If that does not work I use the following Terminal command which has, so far, worked every time:
defaults write com.apple.Safari RegisteredSafariSyncClient -bool false
I must point out that I do not intend to use any sync services but it appears that if Safari gets confused it is necessary to use this command to reset its sync services.
3 - If you don't like using the Terminal command you could trash the following preference file although this more brutal approach is more likely to lose data:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit from Safari before attempting 2 or 3.
I have only tested the Terminal command on Safari 5.0.6 on a Leopard G4 without any user defined sync services but it will probably work on other versions and OSs. It is always safest to backup first.

How can i change all the purple links in safari back to blue

I am having trouble figuring out how to change the links ive visited in safari back to blue. I have turned on PRIVATE so now my links dont turn purple onces ive visited the webpage but i can't figure out how to remove/change the already visited sites from purple back to blue! help me pleaseeee xx

OK.
Go to SAFARI tab from the safari menu and "reset Safari"
You can keep your passwords, just uncheck that option.
once done that, quit Safari, here is the trick. CLosing the Safari Window doesn't quit the app, to quit it you can either go to "safari" tab on the safari menu and Quit safari or press control key on the keyboard and click on the safari app and quit. that will erase those purple highlighted links
