Is there a way to remove the private browsing feature in safari on MAC air laptops?

6.0.5 then.
In your 4th screenshot, click the padlock @ top right & authenticate as an admin user.
Return to the same details pane, if it's not still active, then double-click on the first Safari entry (or select it & then click the 'pencil' edit button).
Select 'Always', then click the expand arrow, now the 'New Key' button should be active : click it.
Click 'New Item' & change it to 'Private Browsing' from the drop-down list presented.
Set 'Type' as 'boolean' and Value to 'false'.
Now click Done or Apply Now to save the changes.
This applies to the user(s) that you had selected in the left pane, regardless of their being admin or standard.

I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing from being used?

I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing so that my kids can not have this option?

There is no way to reliably disable private browsing or keep a user from deleting history. Use a program such as netnanny to keep track of history and sites visited.

Remove Private Window Option in Safari MacBookPro

Remove Private Window Option in Safari MacBookPro
Hello there,
I am trying to remove the Private Window Option in my Safari MBP Version: 10.10.3. I have found the following guide below, but I could not find the "MainMenu.nib" file. Is there a way to find this? Or is it possible to remove the Private Window option at all by not doing the below steps? Thank you!
Disabiling for Safari:
The following steps will disable private browsing on all accounts. Taken from: http://guides.macrumors.com/Safari#Disable_Private_Browsing (Note: you must have the Xcode tools installed - can get from App store):
Control or right-click on the Safari icon in Finder and choose Show Package Contents.
In the window that appears, navigate to Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ and double click on the MainMenu.nib file. (I cannot locate this file)
In Interface Builder (From Xcode,) select the window showing the Safari menu bar.
Select the Safari menu, then select the private browsing item and press delete.
Type command-S to save the changes, then close Interface Builder and restart Safari.
This removes the Private Browsing menu option, effectively disabling private browsing.

There were some means of customizing Safari through OnyX, a utility interface tool that
can be used to perform a variety of changes in OS X and a few of them could mess it up.
You can modify hidden features in the OS X by use of OnyX, instead of attempting to
perform some modification by command-line or Terminal; although the Man access
also appears there, too.
•Titanium Software - Home: (see OnyX)
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
A few command-line or terminal methods of changing how OS X works may be ill-advised
to attempt without learning more about how all of that works and also how to understand
the background system that changes when you mess with it. The GUI is the top layer.
Did you look into the Developer settings for Safari to see if that will change your windowed
options, without any external or deeper access to attempts to alter Private window view?
For me, I've not used Safari all that much, and not as default main browser in any of my Macs.
Good luck & happy computing!

Removing private browsing option in FF4

I need my computer to be protected so on previous versions I have removed the private browsing option. FF4 does not have that option. I understand cache and browsing history can be stripped but there are always traces of bad views even just the video player gives you clues. If the private browsing removal is not possible I will have to move to a different browser and I love Firefox. Please help.

There is no private browsing in Yosemite or any OS. It's a feature of Web Browsers. In Safari it's where it always was: File -> New Private Window.

Is there any way of removing the browser buttons from the right click menu?

Recently when I right-click on a web page, there are browser buttons (forward, backward, refresh, bookmarks) on the right-click menu for some inexplicable reason. I mean, its kind of absurd that anyone would put browser buttons there, considering the real browser buttons literally right there at the top of the window, and I guess that kinda bugs me.
Anyway, how did I get rid of them? There doesn't seem to be any way to do so in the customize window, and I've been looking for an add-on but don't really know what to search for. Does anyone know?
Where did those come from anyway? They weren't there a week ago, and I'm pretty sure these things don't normally just pop up out of nowhere. If nobody knows, its really not important. The important thing is getting rid of them. Thanks!

That was a new feature in Firefox 32, which was released back in September. Use this UserStyle to get rid of those buttons and restore the text menu items.

Problem with Flash videos. They are only display in "Private Browsing" mode, in Safari 5.1.7

The symptoms is: The flash videos are only display with a full red bar and nothing happen, no video no sound nothing. The Flash player was upgrade with 11.2.202.235. before safari 5.1.7. I have an iMac with SL, and a Macbook with SL too. However after I upgraded safari 5.1.7 the flash videos are not display correctly, (only videos). The same happen in both computers.
I need to tell you that I follow all the possible recommendations that I founded in internent. I uninstall flash pug-in many times. I restore both. I switch many buttons and options like "reset safari", "empty cahe", "block pop-up windows", "enable java-script", "enable java". I turn off and on the firewall. I switch all the options in the flash player plug in preferences. And nothing. I turn on and off the plug ins. In fact I tried all the possibilities in the preferences menus from the programs.
In one occasion I had a glimpse of functionality for only one hour without problems after I reinstall safari from the Apple website, but only worked until I turned off the computer. The next day was the same problem.
After I fought with safari 5.1.7 and the plug-in flash player 11.2.202.235. Now I noticed something wired, only when I switch the "Private browsing" option in safari is when the videos are displayed correctly.
The same videos work perfectly in Firefox.
Some Suggestions?

Thank you everybody, the problem was corrected in a unexpected way, I decided no to pay attention to the problem after a week fighting with that. I was navigating in a private browsing for two days. I turned the private browsing off again the next Monday, after a week I noticed that all the videos were display correctly, I do not have the problem again. That was wired because at the same time in the laptop everything is ok too. I have my extensions ON, Block Pop-up windows, In Flash payer all the options in ask....something. Only the option Disable Java script in not activated, only when I activate that option all videos are not display.
I think maybe I updated the computer and maybe something happened in the middle. I always update my imac and my macbook at the same time. There is a Flash removal security update in may 14. Maybe that fixed the problem.
Thanks to everybody, everything is ok now however I wanted to know what was the problem.

Is there a way to remove a password from a Document? We have a form that an ex employee created and didn't reveal the password to anyone before he left

We have a document that a former employee created and password protected. He left without revealing the password to anyone and now we need to make changes to the form. Is there a way to remove the security?

Hello Kelly,
if you can't negotiate a private agreement, there is no possibility to recover this document. Then the only way is, that you copy the contents or create a new one according to your wishes.

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

Is there a way to remove an app from the list of previously installed apps?

Is there a way to remove an app from the list of previously installed app?
The list that comes up when you click on the Purchased icon when updating apps.
The list is becoming quite large after I installed and tried out a few apps.

nvm. I found it.

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
Let me explain:
In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
(I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful

Is there a way to remove the extended phot info attached to a picture in iphoto?

I imported some pictures into iphoto, and they have extended info attached, like my location. Is there a way to remove it?

Hi Fiona,
Okay, the 4th parameter is the issue.
There are four options:
0 = OK (will not have an 'x')
1 = OK, Cancel (will have an 'x')
2 = Yes, No (will not have an 'x')
3 = Yes, No, Cancel (will have an 'x')
Where you do not include a cancel button (0 or 2) then there wont be an 'x':
However where you do include a cancel button (1 or 3) then there will be an 'x':
There wont be a workaround here (afaik), as the messagebox is driven by the OS, eg is automatically appears different on a Mac verses a Windows machine.
Good luck,
Niall

Is there a way to remove the GNome border for Firefox in Fedora 20 (gnome desktop)

Hi I have Fedora 20 with Gnome 3 desktop. The Firefox 31.0 has a bar above the tabs where it displays a bar and it shows the page title. Is there any way to remove it as it uses some space and I hate it. Is there any way to hide it or remove it.
I have added screenshots just for reference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jayabharat/15136543446/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/jayabharat/15159579845/

Well, that works in my Windows, but not in Gnome 3. So In order to remove the title bar, I had to use Add-ons.
HTitle 2.13 did wonders.
Hide Caption Titlebar Plus 2.8.6 is also a good option.

Is there a way to remove "Applet running..." when launching Applet in JWS?

Is there any way to remove the "Applet running..." message at the bottom of the applet when launch in JWS? I have searched in the forum and bug database and cannot find a reference in how to remove it.
I remember in the old applet days (JDK 1.1, 1.2?), everybody are mad at the yellow warning message when launching a new frame from an applet window. It is hard to believe this issue reappears in JDK 1.4.
FYI, all the jar files are signed. And I am using JDK 1.4.1.
Thanks,
Nelson Fong

Dietz,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, our application requested all-permission in the jnlp file, and all jar files are signed as well.
In fact, the warning is more like a status bar. The message was changed from "Initializing Applet..." to "Applet running...." during init() method.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
