No Cover flow for Search History in Safari 6.1

Just upgraded to Safari 6.1 and can't search my history using the visual (coverflow) method anymore? I use that all the time here at work. Please tell me there's a way to get it working again, because looking at a page full of URLs does NOT help!

Cover flow is gone and there is no option to turn it back on (as far as I have found).  It should be an option for those of us that used it.  Here may be an alternative way though to get the screenshots from your browsing history.  Go to the Finder's Spotlight (upper right magnifying glass).  Click on it and type your history search there.  One section will include the Webpages you have visited that meet those search keywords.  If you hover your pointer over a Webpage result you will get a screenshot of the page.  What I am not sure of however is whether it is a cached copy (like Coverflow) or whether it is a live view of the webpage.  If this a live view then someone please send a feature request to Apple to give us the option of Coverflow (even if it comes with a disclaimer that it will slow down Safari).

  • How to delete google search history in safari on itouch ?

    Hi All !
    I would like to know how I can delete the google search history in safari?
    Thanks

    I just found the answer somewhere else in the forum - it worked for me.
    Clear it while in Safari by going to bookmarks, then "History," and then the "Clear" button in the bottom left.

  • Deleting facebook search history in Safari

    I'm not able to delete my facebook search history in Safari.  Can anyone help?  I've tried clearing history, cache, cookies, etc.
    Thank you!

    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

  • Cover flow for videos or is it just the cd art?

    Is there cover flow for videos or just cd covers?. I will have more video than audio on my itouch but they have never showed cover flow for video.

    I know what you mean Durwin, Unfortunatley this is not possible at this time, athough the good news is:
    It is something which can be added in a software update!! - I don't think you've seen the last of what the iPod Touch can do. Apple doesn't stop at the functionality of when you bought it.

  • Cover flow for the ipad

    Why is no Cover flow for the iPad 2 with OS 5?

    I made a newer post about this same topic (trying to be a little more strategic) and this time I included a link to a video demonstrating my point. Here's the post http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6574743#6574743.
    I couldn't agree with you more on the custom folder icon issues. I'm beginning to find out what the problem is on that. I have used the newest version of Candy Bar for my Home directory icons and that works fine, but there are some folders that I want to use a different icon for and leave the rest as they are. Candy Bar can't do this for me (as it only works with the generic icons) and so I used Apple's Icon Composer application (in the Developer Tools) to make the correct icon sizes for Leopard and then saved them as .icns but then copying and pasting that on a folder would result in the default ICNS icon and not my custom icon (that was under 10.5.1). So I finally got the custom icon to appear, but it only works for sizes 128x128 and lower, even though I put a 512X512 version in there. That's why it doesn't show up in Cover Flow. For some reason, Leopard "blacks" out anything larger than 128x128 on "Cut and Paste" icons. I found that out by copying my custom icon from the Get Info panel and then opening that in Preview and it shows a black background for the larger icons instead of the alpha channel. I'm still trying to figure this out. Also, IconBuilder seems to be doing the same thing (making and ICNS file) but it seems to work better. I haven't used that since I've upgraded to Leopard but from what I've read it should work, but I don't have Photoshop right now. Well, thanks for posting and agreeing with me on the Carousel view and I hope you check out my video. Thanks.

  • Clear Google search history from Safari Toolbar (v.4.0.3 and up)

    How to clear your search history. TEDIOUS but works.
    *Delete Google results pages from the history*
    In Safari 4.0.3 and up, you may now search your history. Search for the URL string www.google.com/search? and delete the records that match it.
    *Clear the search strings from the toolbar*
    Quit Safari then from the Terminal, run this command:
    defaults delete com.apple.safari RecentSearchStrings
    When you start Safari again, the search history should be empty.
    Somebody could probably build a shell script that searches the History.plist XML file and deletes the <dict> sections AND resets the Safari plist at the same time. I'm not that good with string manipulation, so I'm hoping somebody with experience could pick this up. Then that shell script could be made into an AppleScript or set up with Automator. Wishful thinking?

  • Lack of UI and No Cover Flow for Videos?

    Why is there no cover flow in the iPod touch/iPhone/any iPods for movies and videos? I don't even remember seeing a menu bar at the bottom of the screen to view videos in different categories.
    Has anyone else noticed the lack of a good UI in the Video section of the iPod touch? I ask because this option is available in iTunes, and frankly, cover flow one of the coolest features, that is, whizzing through all your DVD covers.

    Your remarks are falling on deaf ears here no one works for apple here. PLease post your comments for enhancements at the link below.

  • Disable Google search history in Safari

    Is there a way in Safari on a 3GS to disable storing search history? Every time I select the search box, I am presented with a list of several weeks worth of searches. I know I can clear the history if you access Settings-->Safari-->Clear History but I don't want to do that continually.

  • Feature Request: Cover Flow for Selecting Desktop Picture

    Cover Flow is a great way to scan through a set of images within a defined visual real estate. It would be perfect for the Desktop System Preferences, where we users have had to suffer forever with squinting at 72x51pixel images (at 1440x900 resolution) of our desktops. It's nearly impossible at this thumbnail size to tell what image one is looking at, and selecting to view it in the preview at 128x73 pixels is only marginally better. And of course, there's no way I know of to expand the System Preferences window to expand this whole scanario. It's the year 2009 guys; please give us your great Cover Flow to help us choose our Desktop Pictures in a reasonable way.

    Hi Scott,
    I know this isn't the best place, but Apple doesn't make easily apparent where to submit such requests, and I know its staff do occasionally visit these boards.
    As to the appropriateness of the expectation, I have to disagree. I make my living in user interface and usability, and Apple has clearly set the expectation in the user's mind that System Preferences is the primary method for setting all sorts of Finder behaviors, including screensavers and desktop pictures. I see no reason for the user to either accept a substandard main method of setting this preference or have to learn a secondary one simply to avoid the main method.
    As to the System Preference not lending itself to Cover Flow, there may be some underlying technology of which I'm unaware, but interface-wise, it seems to fit right into the Preference screen:

  • Carousel View Better Than Cover Flow For The Finder?

    I have been using my .Mac Web Gallery quite a bit lately and I love the new and improved Carousel view. Apple keeps updating it (they added reflections, a nice play/pause scroll bar, and now you can use the scroll wheel (or ball) on your mouse just like Cover Flow in iTunes and the Finder) making it better and better and it has gotten to the point where I think it would make a lot more sense (and look nicer) for Apple to implement it in the Finder in place of Cover Flow. Cover Flow works perfectly for iTunes still (as that's what it was intended for) and I think that it's "Ok" in the Finder in Leopard, but now that Apple has cleaned up the Carousel view so much in the .Mac Web Gallery, I can see it looking PERFECT in the Finder in Leopard. For anyone who's used or seen the Cover Flow view in the Finder, you'll realize what I mean when I say that it's "Ok". The problem with it is that most of the dynamically generated icons in Leopard are not nice squares like the albums in iTunes so the icons off to the sides of the center one look skewed and distorted. The Carousel view would fix that problem while retaining the benefits of the Cover Flow view and, from what I can see, would actually enhance the benefits because the side icons would be easier to see as they are not skewed. All I'm suggesting is for Apple to swap out the Cover Flow view in the Finder for the Carousel view and then the Finder would really SHINE! So, my question to any of you is, "Would you vote for the Carousel view to replace the Cover Flow view in the Finder?" Please let me know any of your ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

  • HT5457 How do I recover my cover flow for albums?

    If I reset my Iphone to its factory setting, will this restore my album cover flow?

    MacBook Airs don't run Classic.  These two links should be helpful for it:
    Apple Article to reset the password for 10.6.8 and earlier, and 10.7 and later.
    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find the operating system.
    If you are totally locked out of the operating system, usually when you Option boot you can find out what you are booting if the machine can boot.

  • Cover flow for playlists

    While listening to playlists in cover flow mode on the iPhone, it actually shows the album artwork of all the music on the iPhone rather than only those from the playlist. I was expecting to see only the album artwork of the albums/songs in the playlist similar to what iTunes does on the mac. Is there any setting on the iPhone to configure it to show only the playlist artwork in cover flow mode? Thanks.

    I just submitted a suggestion to Apple for a 'smart' Cover Flow which would restrict the displayed albums to the artist/genre/playlist being browsed when the iPhone/Touch is turned landscape.
    Hopefully others will request the same:

  • Cover Flow for iTouch video?

    If any Apple developers are listening, is there any way in the future we can have the option to display our iTouch videos using Cover Flow? While it's nice to have that option in iTunes, it would also be cool to have the option for the iTouch video as well.

  • No Cover Flow for iTunes?

    I thought one of the new features was Cover Flow. Maybe I was mistaken? Is there any way to get it to work for music? This seems like the perfect browsing method for everyone when people are visiting, I'm really disappointed this wasn't implemented.

    My guess (and that's what it is) FWIW is that cover flow is too intensive a process for the tv and will not likely be something that gets included in the future. If I remember rightly I couldn't get my wife's old G4 (700 MHz) to do cover flow, not that it wouldn't work, just that it wasn't an option.
