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

Problem importing browsing history from Safari & Chrome

I used the ‘import data from another browser’ to import my browsing history from Safari & Chrome, but only some (and not all of it) showed up. Any tips would be welcome. Thank you!

Maybe you have been modifying your Firefox History, & or are modifying the files you are trying to import.

Safari parental controls: disable 'delete browsing history'

Hey I am interested in accountability for web browsing on the iPad. There are a handful of apps available that have built in accountability and web history reporting, however they are all limited in usefulness because they are designed with practicality as a secondary concern. Most are unstable and lack useful features included in safari. However if apple allowed for a parental control that prevented the deleting of browsing history then it would be unnecessary to run a separate app with limited functionality. I can see this as a feature that many groups would be interested in. I wonder if apple would consider it? What do you think

my kids at age 7 are not allowed on the internet and I have to make a safe website list on my wifi router.
I know if they bring it to a friends house then its will be wide open and they are not allowed to do so yet.
I hope a kids safe app will be made or some parental controls to be made available soon

Deleted browsing history

After having my iPad for a while now, there are two things occurring as of recent: at times while browsing safari, the browsing will just close and return to the home screen of the iPad. Also the browsing history has started deleting at times, at least I think. Does this happen automatically or does the erasing have to be initiated to be deleted?
Thanks!

I think you experiencing a crashing app when Safari suddenly closes the page and your iPad returns to the home screen. As far as I know, you have to delete the history on your own by editing your bookmarks directly in Safari or by going into your settings on the home screen and deleting the bookmarks from the Safari settings in there. I see no way to set Safari to do it automatically.
One easy thing you can try is to simply turn your iPad off, wait a few seconds and turn it on again. This worked for me when Safari was crashing on me. You may also try a reset on you iPad as well. You can find the instructions in the bookmarks in the Safari browser in the iPad user guide.
Try the simple steps first and see if those don't work for you

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
