Multiple (no title) entries in Safari history

I have noticed after visiting several websites using Safari on my New iPad when I veiw my history there are several entries that say (no title).  I have played around a little with clearing my history right before visiting the sites to make sure that is where they are coming from.  FWIW, the sites in question are what I would consider to be well known reputable sites, one of them being www.detroitnews.com
Example:  I cleared my history within Safari, then cleared it again along with cookies and data via Settings.  After that I opened Safari, visited one of the sites and checked my history.  It had four entries that said (no title) and then the name of the actual site I was at.
I'm concerned that I have picked up some sort of spyware or adware and these entries are a result of being redirected or routed through a maliciuos advertising site on the way to my intended destination.  Does that make any sense or am I being paranoid?
The odd thing is my wife has the same iPad and when I asked her to try the sites in question she did not get the (no title) entries.  We've compared our two iPads side by side and we have all of our settings set exactly the same.
Is there such a thing as an anti-virus or virus scanner for iPads?  I've surfed around a bit and haven't been able to find anything.
Thanks in advance for your help!

sorry , a bit later: some more info:

  • I have several no title entries in my history.  what does that mean?

    I have several "no title" entries in my History.  What does that mean?

    Hello,
    If it froze while in use and then brought up a question mark after resetting, this would indicate to me a hard disk drive failure
    Your going to require a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 or the system disks specific for that model of iBook.
    You will need to boot from disk and run the Disk Utility. check and repair your drive if possible or a replacement drive may be required.

  • Safari history incomplete.. drops out some entries

    Hi,
    My safari keeps dropping out some entries in the history - any reason why this might be? For example one day all entries for that day are there and the only half the next day?
    Thanks

    HI,
    Quit the Safari app if it's open.
    Click the Settings icon on your iPhone, then click Safari. (may have to scroll down)
    In the next window click: Clear History
    Reopen Safari and see if that helps.

  • Safari history - how to restore from Time Capsule?

    Background...
    I couldn't open Safari today (beachballing with no window opening whatsoever), presumed the "com.apple.Safari.plist" file was corrupted so deleted it from "~/Library/Preferences", and restored a copy using Time Machine from my Time Capsule from yesterday before I had the issue. Safari settings from yesterday restored and working.
    However...
    My Safari History going back 2 years has deleted to just one month ago! How can I restore these from a previous Time Capsule backup? Is it just "History.plist" file from "~/Library/Safari" that needs to be restored, or also the one titled "HistoryIndex.sk" in the same location, and/or any others?
    Also, do I need to restart machine after restoring all files needed, or should the history show immediately after just relaunching Safari?
    Note: I tried doing the "History.plist" one only, yet still just get the one month of history showing. This is really urgent as I have sites in my 2 year browsing history I need to get to again!
    Help very very gratefully received :-\

    Though I am still finding that with circa 2 years worth of history, they may be starting to delete from the back-end after a while; so I presume there may be a theoretical max amount of sites and/or dates Safari will keep in there regardless of setting "Manually" for history deletion.
    I doubt there's a maximum size specific to the History plist, but that (or corruption of it) would be the only limitation. And yes, plists do get corrupted with some frequency.
    And I don't know, either, what would happen if the plist got to a maximum; whether you'd get a message, or it would drop the oldest entries.
    That must be a huge+ file after 2 years! It's a bit surprising that it hasn't gotten corrupted before.
    If your browsing history is that important, I'd suggest finding some other way to keep it that long, such as bookmarking the critical sites. That would take much less room (and be less subject to corruption) than the history of every site you've ever visited, every time.
    And/or, there might be a 3rd-party app that would help. I don't know of any, but it might be worthwhile to look for one.

  • Search syntax for Safari history? how to remove items from specific pages?

    I'm using Safari 5.0.3 and I prefer keeping the browsing history quite long for accessing contents I had been searching in the net some weeks ago.
    However, that way I'm collecting lots of clutter and therefore I'd like to remove selected entries from the history, e. g. from the page where I'm reading daily news etc.
    I tried to use the search field (accessible with Cmd-F in the history view) to search for parts of the corresponding web address, e. g. "http://www.heute.de", but I do not only get the history items from that site but many others from google and other pages.
    So I'd like to know: is there a search syntax to use the search field, like address=www.heute.de* which enables wild cards, operators like OR/AND etc.?
    If not, is there a 3rd party tool which can help or can I use spotlight/the finder to find and remove the unwanted items from the browser history?

    Hi beckmart
    there might be ready-made apps or add-ons to do that - but this may help...
    quit safari, open Home/Library/Safari/History.plist using PrefSetter
    enter the url you want removed in the search box, no need for quotes - say www.google.com
    expand the 'web history dates' section at left to see individual results, then select the first one & shift-click the last (don't use select all) to highlight/select all the results - then press the delete key to remove them. Then save the file.
    Naturally, a backup copy of history.plist would be wise - but the above seems to work very well.

  • How to delete individual entries in safari

    hello people,
    i would like to delete some of my entries in safari. safari allows only to delete all of them. but i want to keep some
    in firefox i can deleted them by pushing "shift+del"
    here is a picture of an example.
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/ohnetitelz.jpg/
    so does anyone know how to do that or is that not possible in safari?

    Right. On IPad I can't delete individual items in the Safari browser history, but I can on my macbook. Since purchasing my new IPad Retina, I feel like I'm retrograding when I come across these simplistic uses of software.
    How do I put this user-friendly suggestion to Apple?

  • Deleting Safari History Items with Restrictions Set

    Hi All,
    My daughter's iPad mini has restrictions set to 'limit adult content'. One of the apparent benefits of this was the the 'Clear' button on Safari history and 'Private Browsing Mode' were disabled. I was then able to periodically audit the history to check nothing untoward. I could also temporarily remove restrictions to clear the history before re-enabling them.
    However, I have just noticed that if you swipe left on an item in history, you are given the option to delete - without removing Restrictions first.
    Is this expected behaviour or has a particular update caused this? Is there a setting to prevent history deletion?
    Many Thanks,

    You can clear just history on iOS 8, but there's no analogous easy way to do it in Yosemite.
    For Yosemite, to clear history manually, you must:
    Go to Safari's History -> Show History
    Click in the History window and Select All (Command-A or Edit -> Select All)
    Press "Delete"
    Note that due to cacheing and the fact that History may now be synced across devices via iCloud, you may need to repeat steps 2 and 3 multiple times before you delete all History items.
    For iOS 8, display History, tap "Clear" and choose the option you prefer.

  • How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone?

    How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone? I accidentally clicked clear cookies and data as well, so everything is basically gone and there are very important stuff that I NEED to recover. I tried to do the settings>safari>adavanced>website data, but nothing worked, because since I cleared cookies as well, everything's just gone.

    You restore the phone using a backup made before you cleared it. If you don't have a backup from when it was present, then it's gone.

  • How did old Safari History Items I haven't visited in years appear recently?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion on Saturday October 13th. I then ran software updates, and got everything up to date. I was home alone, and the only thing I went to YouTube for was to get guidance for setting up Facebook and Twitter notifications. That's it. Today, using spotlight, some Safari History Items appeared for October 13th, 2012 for sites I haven't visited in years. However, none of them show up in my Safari Histroy. What gives?
    Please help! I'm being accused of looking at inappropriate material when I didn't.
    I'm at a loss to explain what really happened. Any concrete help will be greatly appreciated

    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/History
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select Services ▹ Open from the contextual menu. Delete the contents of the folder that opens. Quit and relaunch Safari.

  • HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
    You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
    Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.

  • ICloud Safari History not syncing across my devices with Yosemite and iOS 8

    I have a MacBook Pro with the latest update of Yosemite installed, an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.1, an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1 and other things seem to be syncing like my bookmarks, reading list, and all other iCloud data as well as iMessages and text messages. But the one thing that does not seem to be syncing is my browsing history in Safari. This is supposed to be a new feature of Yosemite and iOS 8 and it is working for a friend of mine but not me.
    How can I fix this? I've tried going into iCloud settings on all three devices and turning off Safari sync and then turning it back on but no luck.

    I spoke with Apple support again this weekend. The first support specialist told me that Safari browsing history was not a feature at this time. When I sent a screenshot of the notes of what updated in Safari 8.0.2 on December 11, 2014 from the AppStore, I got transferred to a senior support specialist. They had me try things like log out of icloud and then reset my network settings on my devices. But that unfortunately did not work. My next step which I did not have time to do, is to see if it is my iCloud account by creating a new iCloud account, logging out of iCloud and then resetting my network settings and then logging into iCloud with the new iCloud account and see if Safari history syncs.
    I'm not sure what they will do for me if it is my iCloud account because I have so much on that account and have email addresses that I don't want to lose. And if it isn't the iCloud account they said it is probably my devices but I am not sure what they will have me do to try to fix it if it is. Set them up as new? I don't really want to do that, it takes forever to get everything back on the device.

  • Multiple page data entry form

    Hello,
    I need to build a multiple page data entry screen for users
    to enter information into the DB table. There are many fields I
    need to capture and store in a table. Some of the fields are multi
    line text field for the users to enter a few lines of text in a
    textbox. But right now, I wasn’t sure which approach I should
    take.
    1. Use session variables to capture the data as the users are
    completing the multiple page data entry then store all the values
    at the end when the user finish entering all the data.
    2. Create a temporary table in a DB to capture the data until
    the user is finished then store the values in the temporary table
    back to the real table.
    I hope someone can provide me with some suggestions on this.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    It depends on how you want to handle:
    User fills out first couple of pages only. He may or may not
    come back.
    User fills out a couple of pages and then uses browser to go
    back to page 1, which he changes and resubmits.

  • Stupid Question? - Safari History

    For some reason the dates in my Safari history are incorrect. i.e. Today is Sunday, June 1st, but when I go to access History from the toolbar, it lists yesterday as Friday, May 30....so dates in History are off by one day. However, my system time & date is set correctly.
    Probably a stupid question, but any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    I can't find the word "yesterday" on my History menu. Where do you see that?
    For me it shows "Earlier Today" then it starts showing the dates underneath that.
    Of course, I didn't use Safari yesterday, so that might be why.
