No way to delete history without deleting cookies and website data

Unless I'm missing it, there's no way to delete browsing history without also deleting cookies and website data. Apple, please give us a separate option to delete only the history!

I don't think you're missing it. Way to go Apple!

  • How can I delete history without deleting cookies on safari yosemite?

    how can I delete history without deleting cookies on safari yosemite?

    actually, if I click on history and go to bottom and delete history, with Yosemite, it will delete cookies and all... I get message: if you delete history, you will delete cookies and other information from web sites.
    to avoid that the procedure is this: History > Show History>Select All>Delete. 
    thanks for trying to help.
    good day.

  • Can't seem to Remove Cookies and Website Data

    Every time I try removing all cookies and website data from my macbook pro... it keeps coming back, as if I didn't remove anything!... What's happening? ... I'm going to Safari/Preferences/Privacy/Remove All Website Data... then clicking the "Remove All" button, and All the cookies dissapear ... then I restart my computer, and when I go back and check, all the cookies and website data are still there!.... any clues?

    This has been the case for  years.
    Google alone once launched after removing cookies, installs many of the same cookies.
    Safari > Preference > Privacy > Remove "All Website Data"
    Do it twice.
    Next do a "Reset Safari" from the Safari menu.

  • Are iPad Safari's Cookies And Website Data The Same Thing?

    Are they the same, and do they collect indefinitely until you manually clear them?

    Sheden-
    It is not clear if they are the same thing, but I do not believe so.  There are two places to manually delete Data:
    1.  Settings - Safari - Clear Cookies and Data
    2.  Settings - Safari - Advanced - Website Data - Remove All Website Data
    I tried clearing Cookies and Data, and the data previously listed under "Website Data" went away.  When I tried just "Remove All Website Data", it went away again.  I can not tell if Cookies also went away since I do not know how to examine them.
    After clearing the website data, images on a facebook page had to reload when I revisited it.  Normally they come up immediately.  I know the images are definitely not "Cookies"!
    As far as I kinow, website data collects indefinitely.  I suggest you search the web for information about Cookies, to see if they have a limited lifetime.

  • I want to empty the Safari cache in OS 10.8.5, but cannot find the cache in the drop down menus. Where is it? Or do I go to preferences-privacy and select remove all cookies and website data?

    I received a 'bogus' email saying I had a virus and to click to scan my entire OS. I did not click - I trashed the email.
    I wanted to empty my cache but couldn't find it (OS 8.10.8.5) -- In the main menu, under Safari, the only thing I found was to select preferences, then privacy -- where a window showed an option of removing some or all cookies and other website data.
    Is that what I should do or is there a cache somewhere on the laptop?
    Thanks

    You were scammed. There's nothing wrong with your computer. You don't need to empty the cache.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • I have an ipod and an iphone. I would like to use both devices for my work and home computer. But it tells me that its installed to another library and will delete all items to sync to itunes. Is there a way to do this without deleting?

    OK....... I have an Ipod and an Iphone. Would like all the Movies and music i have on both. My computer broke and now the only music i have is on ipod. It wont let me transfer to itunes. It says this device is linked to a different library and if i want to sync to a new one and delete everything on it. UH....NO   Is there a way to do this without deleting ? All purchases were made though the same apple id.

    - An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    - To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
    - Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • I have 1,400 items in my in-box and would like to delete them en masse. Is there any way to do this without deleting them individually? Thank you

    I have 1,400 items in my in-box and would like to delete them en masse. Is there any way to do this without deleting them individually?

    Select the Inbox folder to see emails.
    click on first email to get focus.
    Hold down 'Ctrl' key and press 'A' key
    This will highlight /select all emails.
    they will appear as conversations in the Message Pane
    Clickon Delete.
    when it has finished - you do have a lot of emails :)
    Right click on Inbox and select 'compact' - this removes all marked as deleted emails.

  • Is there a way to recover a deleted calendar without deleting the rest?

    Is there a way to recover a deleted calendar without deleting the rest?

    You probably couldn't retrieve the deleted texts even if you had the phone, at least not without some expensive forensic software.
    If there is a recent back up of his phone on a computer that you legaly have access to, you might have some luck with something like BackUpExtractor.
    Note: Should you wish to use any of this information in legal proceedings, consult your attorney before doing anything.

  • I have firefox set to delete personal information (log in to websites) when I close it ... However firefox isntead doesn't delete anything, keeps the cookies, and when I reopen firefox I'm still logged in (to websites like facebook). What do?

    Pretty much this: I have firefox set to delete personal information (log in to websites) when I close it ... However firefox instead doesn't delete anything, keeps the cookies, and when I reopen firefox I'm still logged in (to websites like facebook). What do?
    Privacy settings aren't working even though they're all appropriately checked off.
    I think Firefox is saving cookies??

    Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
    Make an Allow exception for the ones that you want to keep.
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
    You can inspect and modify the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences" (Site Preferences includes the cookie exceptions)
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies that have an allow exception.

  • I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. how do I clear history and keep cookies?

    I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. How do I clear  history and keep cookies?

    I think you guys make a great point, I too don't like how my cookies are erased when I clear history and have to use the go around. Just a reminder and I'm sure you all know, this is a user to user forum and Apple may or may not get to see your opinion. I think you should let them know. You can leave them feedback at the following url. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
