How to delete history

how to delete history from messages

HI,
You can clear the Chat of the current information via th View Menu
However in the case of iMessages from iPads and Phones and other people using Messages beta you have probably found that the "History" come back.
At present there is only one way to "delete' this info.
You need to be in the Finder
Use the Go Menu
Hold down the ALT key
Select Library (now that it shows up)
Find the Messages folder and open it
Delete (Drag to Trash) the chat.db item.
It will be gone forever. It will not be recoverable.

How to delete the history on iPad in safari. Even if i delete the historie via the open book icon or via the preferences, even if the history seems blank if i click on the back arrow i CAN get all the previous visitée websites...how CAN i definitively delete the history, thank you for tour help.

If you close Safari completely e.g. via the taskbar, and then go into Settings > Safari and click Clear History and Clear Cache, then when you re-open Safari you should just get an empty page.

How to delete routing history from MAPL table ?

Hi,
I have one typical case: for one routing entry is available in MAPL table but not in table: PLPO & PLKO. Now user want to change UOM in MM and routing history is restricting him for changing the same.
I tried to delete the history with Tac: CA98 with correct selection criteria and key date but it's saying no task list exist. Also used ca99 but that also didn't work and say the same thing as above. In CA02 & CA03 also, it's not showing the data.
I created one more routing for the same material and than deleted with CA98. It worked and entries were deleted from all the three table.
Can anybody suggest how to delete history from MAPL table ?
Thanks & regards

The solution is: there is no T code available for removing the history only from MAPL table. Infact, it's very strange case and we are also not able to find out how it happened.
When we asked user to repeat the procedure, everything work well and no such repetation of problem.
Only solution could be, developing special program which can remove the history. This is just for your information and thanks for putting your efforts & time.
I am rewarding points to you all for the same.

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?

How do I delete history and bookmarks on iMac?

On the iPad, I could use Settings to delete history, but there s no such function on iMac. How do I delete bookmarks and Top Hits and history altogether?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To do it in OS X, open Safari and go to Safari menu (on the menu bar), so you will find an option called "Reset Safari" or something similar. Another way of removing history is to go to Safari menu -> Preferences -> Privacy, and press "Delete All Web Site Data".

How to delete recent file history in adobe reader in Mac PC ?

How to delete recent file history in Adobe Reader in Mac PC ?
In Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - select Documents in the left panel and change the "Documents in recently used list" to 0. Yes ! the file history is gone But when you set back the value, you will see the file history again. This is not the way to do...
I have checked all the preference or setting. I couldn't found any clear recent file history in adobe reader.
Please help ! Thanks !

First off, you CANNOT set recent documents to zero. The absolute minimum it will accept is 1. And on my MacMini, (I just checked it to be 100% sure) I opened seven documents with Recent Docs set to 10 - they were ALL listed. I set it to 1 and all but the most recent cleared. I then closed Reader and reopened it. The list was 1 item. I reset Recent Docs to 10 and there was still only 1 item in the list.

How to delete the history shown in the URL bar?

I just deleted the Browsing history to get rid of all the very old suggestions the URL makes.
It doesnt help.
The URL bar shows automatically even pages I havent visited for a year.
I think there is a lot of old stuff accumulating I want to get rid of.
So, how to delete the browsing history so that also that naggy URL bar starts with a clear slate?

I don't know if this is the same thing, but I had the problem of clearing my history and the location bar would show URL's that I hadn't gone to in a long time. I think most of them had the yellow star to the right of the address which was supposed to mean they were bookmarks. However, I had never bookmarked these sites. My solution was to go to Bookmarks->Organize Bookmarks. Expand "Bookmarks Menu" on the left side and go to "Recently Bookmarked". In there I deleted everything that I didn't want as a bookmark. Now the sites no longer show up in the location bar. Hope that helps for you or someone.

How to look at recently deleted history on iPod touch 4, How to look at recently deleted history on iPod touch 4

How can I look at recently deleted history on my iPod touch 4? Google says to go to settings, go to safari, then go to advanced. Well the problem is my iPods don't say advanced, they say developer. And I don't believe it would do what I'm wanting anyway. There has to be a way to do this.. If I hooked it up to a computer would that work?

Deleted means deleted. You can't get it back without going really out of your way, and if you want to do that then Apple Support Communities probably doesn't have the experts you're looking for.

How to Delete Messages in Spotlight Search History without Resetting or Syncing!!

I know there are a lot of individuals dealing with this issue and if you are like me you spend hours searching "how to delete messages in spotlight search history" and it seems like every post either says to reset your phone or sync it! I'm sorry but I did not want to go through the hassle of resetting my phone but I did try to sync it which did nothing so I decided to just mess around with my settings and I believe to have found the answer to everyone's question!!
This worked for me so I really hope this works for you! Just follow the steps below:
1. Go to <settings><general><spotlight search><uncheck messages>
2. Then turn your phone off and wait a minute! Turn your phone back on and off again 2 or 3 more times while waiting a minute in between turning it off!
3. After you are done doing that go back to step 1 and <check messages>!
4. Now go to your spotlight search and those messages should be deleted! If they are deleted I would recommend going back to step 1 and <uncheck messages> so you do not have the same problem with messages showing up again in the spotlight search!
It works for Mail too! Just follow the same steps listed above but uncheck mail instead of messages or do both at the same time!!
*Here is an extra tip which will remove deleted Mail Messages, just follow the steps below:
1. Go to <settings><mail, contacts, calendars><your mail account> scroll down and click <advanced> Now click <remove> under the title Deleted Messages and you can choose to have your mail removed After One Day, After One Week, After One Month or Never.
I hope this post was detailed enough and easy to understand!
I really hope it works for you like it did for me!
Good Luck!!!

I tried this fix and it does not work.
I have read that this is a problem for a long time - years. Me, personally, I do have emails and texts from the past that are private and were deleted, that I do not want my husband or daughter to read. Many people have this complaint and have had it a long time. Why does Apple not fix it?!?
Another privacy issue is the iMessage default settings on new devices. We bought a new iPhone for my college-age daughter and received all of her text messages until we noticed it and told her. We did a temporary fix. Then I got a new iPhone and the same thing happened. I had to set up iCloud accts. for each of us so that we each have privacy that cannot be tampered with. We still share our original iTunes account. Why did that have to happen?!?
We have been Apple consumers (laptops, iPads, iPods, iPhones) for over ten years (? longer w/just desk top) w/ the same account. These breaches in privacy are upsetting!! My point here is that these breaches are unacceptable! The spotlight search issue appears to be unresolved. FIX THIS APPLE!

I am new to this I Pad Air and was downloading some games and it is still in waiting mode with the circle continually going in circles. I need to delete these and do not see how to do this. also need to know where I go to delete history

I am new to this I Pad Air and was downloading games and is still showing in waiting mode with the circle continually going Arian. I want to delete but unable to figure ot how. also needing to delete history, need a lot of help

Hey Carolyn1951,
Thanks for the question. I understand you have a few apps that only display "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Can't delete history when using magnifying glass icon on home screen. Anyone know how to? Thanks.

If I click on the magnifying glass icon to do a search for something - the icon of the place I searched stays in the window and I can't seem to delete it. Does anyone know how to delete that history? I can delete my browser history by clicking on the little box in the lower left hand corner of that screen, then clicking on history then selecting and clicking "Clear History." That option is not available when you use the magnifying glass icon. Help! Thanks.

When using "SearcH" (the magnifying glass), you can cler your your search history. Swipe down from the top of the screen, tap "Settings", then "Delete Search History". I think this is what you're looking for.

How do I disable the ability to delete history?

I work at a middle school where all of the 6th graders have 11 in Macbook Pros currently with Mac OS X Version 10.7.5. We have been playing around with the parental control features on the computer, but have not been able to find how to make a password required to delete history on ALL of the student's computers. It sometimes works and filters sites and won't let the student computer delete history, but as soon as the student logs in and back out, there are no parental controls on the computer anymore! We would also want to view history remotely from the teacher's Mac to the students. Is there any way to do this?
PLEASE HELP!

Hello webstert, for me Tyler Downer's above reply is the correct one.
