How to Export browsing history in Safari.

It took me a while to find this out so I thought I'd share it and save other people the hassle...
1. Open Finder.
2. Select 'Go' from the menu at the top of the screen.
3. Select 'Go To Folder'.
4. Type '~/Library/Safari'
5. The contents of this folder have your bookmarks, reading list and browsing history, so you can copy the lot and take it to a new machine (or just have them as a backup). Apparently it's the '.plist' files that hold the history itself, but if you copy the lot then you've got yourself covered.
Hopefully this is of use to people.

The Go To operation to open the (hidden) Library folder was great. I am moving between Macs, and the corporate setup means I cannot just import my settings from my older system. This helped me move everything for Safari. Thank you!

    After the last os x 10.7 update: how to view 'browse history' by image? And not only text?

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • 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!

  • IPad auto deleting browser history in safari

    My partners iPad(1) 16GB WiFi (Firmware 4.3.3) is deleting all browser history sparadically. For example it was there for 1 week and then deleted for 2 days running. Is this a reported fault or are they just manually clearing the history to hide stuff?

    Ok...maybe preferences are corrupted...
    Go to ~/Library/Prerferences
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Quit then relaunch Safari, go to the menu bar click History > Clear History
    If that helped, move the .plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If you don't want history saved when you visit Facebook, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Private Browsing

  • Restoring Browsing History in Safari 8.0

    So, in an attempt to fix some of the problems that my OS X had, I deleted my Safari browsing history through "Clear History and Website Data", which I thought was no problem, since I am using Time Machine, and have my history backed up. The only problem is that now, I have no idea which file/folder I should restore. I tried looking it up, and there were indications that I should restore Users/User/Library/Safari/History.plist, which I already tried to do, but to no avail.
    So far I have tried the following:
    I have tried restoring the whole Safari folder under /Users/User/Library/, which practically gave me nothing.
    I also tried removing History.db and History.db-wal from the aforementioned folder, which seems to work, but only for a second before Safari actually catches the trick, and then somehow loads out the old history and loads in the new history. Apparently, /Users/User/Library/Safari isn't the only folder which Safari checks.
    Any suggestions that might help solve the problem?

    You need to quit Safari, then restore only the History.db file. Delete the other files with names beginning in "History". Obviously, you must restore from a snapshot that predates the unwanted changes.

  • How to view browser history off-line, full size

    hello - i am able to search for and locate web pages i visited many months ago - however i don't know how to view them as they were then.  for instance, one was a blog with links i tried to revisit, so i found it, but the blog no longer exists.  i figure that since the text and image were saved (obviously i was able to search for the text and view a thumbnail) they are probably available somehow "offline" - how can i view pages visted off-line rather than revisiting them?  thanks! 

    Assuming you are using Safari as your browser, in it's general preferences, there's a "Remove history items" menu popup which gives you choices of when to delete history.  Included in that list is "manually" if you so choose.  Other browsers have similar options (e.g., firefox).
    As for what's kept, it's url's, not whole web pages.  So if a url is old enough there is a probability that the page it is pointing to changed or no longer exists.

    Browsing History is stored in the '''cache''' and can be viewed via '''about:cache''' ''(type that in the URL bar and hit Enter)''. You can search the cache with the Find Bar at the bottom of the browser window, which can be opened using {Ctrl + F}.
    Problem is that if you have gone to that page page since it was changed, you'll only find the new version of that page in the cache. A serial history of the websites you have visited isn't kept, a revisit to a web page will replace the previous cache entry for that page.
    Try using the '''Wayback Machine''' to locate an older version of that webpage. <br />

    But, if that page was dynamically created you probably won't find it there.
