Make it so you cannot delete history

Hi, i want to make it so you cannot delete this history on my computer to monitor which sites my kids are using? How can I disable this so they cannot delete the history, and i only i can do it with a password or something?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
If they have access to your Safari/Preferences window then they can change the way in which your control the History using the pop up menu.
You might want to consider using Parental Controls.
Open System Preferences/Parental Controls
You may need to click the gold padlock icon to make changes. You will be prompted for your admin password.
Help here to set that up. http://theappleblog.com/2009/01/13/kid-proofing-a-mac-with-parental-controls/
And a video tutorial here. How to Setup and User Parental Controls in Leopard
You can use the Property List Editor to see which sites have been visited without the History trail.
Go to ~/Library/Safari and double click the History.plist file.
~ (Tilde) represents your Home Folder
The Property List Editor will open.
Click the black disclosure triangle next to: WebHistoryDates so it faces down.
You can view website addresses in the History there.

    Attempts exist for this class. You cannot delete the class until you have deleted the attempts.
    Does anyone know how to delete the attemps against a Learning Object. I can delete the enrollments but when I go to delete the class or the learning object i get this message.
    This is for a Test environment.
    Thanks.

    Hi John,
    You are right about the wording.
    There is no simple way of deleting classes. This is because the classes are normally used for the Learner's history and if there is an attempt there is also normally at least one Learner with a history of that Class.
    I know you can delete the Learners from a Class but these scenarios happens so seldom, that we have not yet had the need to have a "delete class feature".
    But if you have the business case for this, you are welcome to raise a SR for an enhancement for this.

    Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

    Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll.  The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures.  Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library.  But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

  • I'm beginning to believe you cannot delete unwanted app updates.  Is that a correct assumption?

    Am I correct in assuming you cannot delete unwanted app updates?

    They should have a "More" link on each. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Ignore update from the context menu. This is all you can do.
    If you erase the software from all disks, then you should not be bothered about them at all.

  • WIll apple ever make it so you can delete all apps in multitasking without deleting one at a time?

    I think it's annoying when you have to delete a app at a time in the multiask bar. It would be good if they made it so there is a button saying delete all apps in mutlitasking bar. It would make me and probably many other apple users happy. It would save a lot time.

    With some notable exceptions like audio apps that actually run in the background, most apps on the task bar are not actually running.  They are not actually doing anything, just sitting there in a suspended state until the next time you execute them by bringing them up on the screen.  There really is no need nor reason to be constantly clearing them away.

  • Can you auto delete history in safari

    IIs there a setting to auto delete browsing history?

    Hi kfkoffe,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you would like to keep your browsing history private, you can use the Private Browsing feature in Safari. Please read over the attached article for information on using Private Browsing. 
    Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Private Browsing protects your private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari won't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Eclipse, cannot delete history.js

    Does anyone else get this error when you try to do a forced
    "clean" of your project? It seems that something, somewhere has got
    ahold of that history.js file. I have closed down all browser
    windows, even closed down Eclipse and re-started it, no luck. The
    only thing that works is rebooting my computer, then I can do the
    clean. Error message detail is listed below.
    This happens in all of my Flex projects.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Perhaps I should post this
    on the Eclipse forums, but I thought I'd try here first.
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Hi again,
    I was just looking at another issue I was having with add-on entries disappearing from the menu. I found it to be [http://bugzil.la/832990 bug 832990].
    After disabling the "don't keep activities" checkbox in the developer settings, I am now able to clear history as it should be!!

  • Cannot delete history

    i clear history, empty cache, remove all cookies, set my pref to remove history items after 1 day, do private browsing and reset safari when i am done using it, BUT when i googlesearch something -instead of typing the web address directly-, next to the website name i still see: 64visits - 10.29am. this happens all the time. what am i doing wrong? wrong settings? thanks for your help!

    reasons are of no concern.
    Actually the reason is a concern, because there are easier ways to accomplish this without all the machinations you're resorting to. It's not a browser "problem", so using Firefox would not do anything for you, other than it being a perfectly fine browser in it's own right. Rather, there is something causing this issue in Safari that we are trying to discover and remedy.
    If you have any Input Managers, you'd have an Input Managers folder in one or both of the /Library directory, but if you don't have that folder, then you don't have any to worry about. If you do have any, I'd try quitting Safari, removing them (not deleting them) and then restart the Mac and test Safari.
    You should try creating a new User Account and running Safari there to see if the problem manifests there; if it does, then it's a system-wide problem, otherwise it's limited to your primary user account.

  • I cannot delete history

    I go to tools, select clear recent history, and click, and the history is not cleared. I close and restart Firefox, and it still is not cleared, even when I try again.

    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • What do you do when you icloud is hacked and you cannot delete if from yoru ios device without knowing the password?

    Does anyone know of a good way to just cancel the offending account? 

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.

  • 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!

  • Is there any way that you can delete APPS that come on the iPad? For example, the stock app, can you delete that or is it permanently on there?

    Is there any way that you can delete APPS that come on the iPad 2 when you buy it? For example, the stock app, can you delete that or is it permanently on there?

    You cannot delete the preinstalled apps on the iPad. You can check by tapping and holding down on the icon until it wiggles. If no X appears, you cannot delete it.
    Move it to another screen or bury it in a folder called" Stuff I don't Want"

  • Cannot delete apps on iPad.

    They jiggle but no cross.  Tried: General - Restrictions - screen shaded i.e. cannot drag 'delete apps' button across to turn on.  Any ideas?

    If the settings are "shaded" that indicates that restrictions are not turned on. So you don't want to drag the button to turn it on, you want it to be off.
    You cannot delete the preinstalled apps so if you are trying to delete those, you can't. Is your iPad a company iPad or a school iPad? If so, the devices might be set up with something that prevents deleting apps.

  • Cannot delete the applet

    i'm working on JCOP in Eclipse and have a big problem now. normally i can install, select, and send command and finally delete applets. but the recent applet(performing class Cipher testing) i've installed, selected and run, but it can't be delete. attempting to delete always return error code 6985 and the applet stucks forever!! so i wanna know how can i delete such the applet? and can we replace the applet with a new one that has the same AID?
    the trouble code is:
    public static byte constructor01(){
              try{
                   cip = new CipherTestClass();
              }catch(Exception e){
                   return (byte)1;  // FAIL
              return (byte)0;  // PASS
         }the above code always return status word 6985 and the applet cannot be remove
    but if i change to this one, the applet can be delete with "delete" command with status word 9000:
    public static byte constructor01(){
              try{
                   CipherTestClass cip = new CipherTestClass();
              }catch(Exception e){
                   return (byte)1;  // FAIL
              return (byte)0;  // PASS
         }Both of the code have no error, can be installed, selected, and run, but only the second that can be remove from card.
    thank you

    Your first sample seems to store a reference to an object in a static field. You cannot delete an applet if a such a reference exists. (See Java Card specification!)
    If you are using a GP211 card, you can delete the entire package using the following JCShell command:
    delete -r <pkgaid>
