Password Protect History in Safari

Is there a way to protect someone from deleting the history in my Safari browser with a password?

Welcome to Apple Discussions and Aloha from Big Island.
There is no password protection for History. The best you can do is not allow others to access Safari via your User Account. The alternative is creating another User Account. There, you can impose Parental Controls if you want to place restrictions on what others can or cannot do while browsing (for example limiting browsing to specific sites). More information about Parental Controls may be found in Safari Help (apple key + ? ) or accessed via the Help menu.

  • How to open a password-protected PDF in Safari on iPad(3)?

    I have some password-protected PDFs available on my public-facing website (hosted by MS Office365) that I'm unable to open in Safari on my iPad(3). When attempting to open these files using Safari on my iPad, I receive a grey screen with no presentation of the Adobe Reader "insert password" dialogue box. I do have Adobe Reader installed on my iPad. These PDFs do open on my PC with both IE9 and Safari. I can also open these PDFs on my iPad independent of using Safari. And, I have some non-password-protected PDFs on my website that open using Safari on my iPad. The problem seems to be uniquely associated with the combination of 1) a password-protected PDF, 2) Safari, and 3) the iPad(3). Does anyone have a solution to this particular situation?

    Someone on another forum said you can with the app Goodreader Lite, but I haven't gotten to try it yet. I will let you know in about 45 minutes.
    P.S: Or this sounds even better - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11780778&#11780778

  • Unable to open password protected PDF in safari

    Dear all, I'm new in using iPhone safari. I have problem in opening password protected PDF file from safari. Do you have any solution or workaround to resolve this problem
    Regards
    BR

    You can put pretty much any character into the encryption password for a PDF file apart from control codes (carriage returns, backspaces, etc), but whether the vendor's website can is another matter!
    As you seem to have a PDF with a user password that isn't what you expected, there's nothing you can do to remove it other than perhaps trying a version without the quote characters, or with a backslash in front of the quote (it's possible they escaped the string on the login form in preparation for storing it in a database, and forgot to unescape it again).

  • Password protecting history and removal of private browsing

    I am wondering if I can password protect the browsing history on this phone so it cannot be deleted without my permission. I would also like to remove or password protect the private browsing option... is this possible? Last of all can you hide or password the app store? I don't want to make addition users or lock up my entire phone just make it so it cannot be used inappropriately.

    You probably have '''Automatically start Firefox in a Private Browsing session''' selected in the Privacy tab in Options. That will cause those Tools menu items to be greyed-out. And when using that Option the (Private Browsing) line doesn't show in the Titlebar.

  • Is there a way of password protecting history so it cannot be deleted. I want to be able to keep a track on what my kids are looking at online, without them being able to delete it!

    my laptop is vista & am using mozilla firefox explorer

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Logging into password protected webpage

    I downloaded Safari 3.2.3 for windows to check on a new site design that I'm working on. The site is hosted on an IIS7 Windows server and is password protected.
    In Safari I get the username / password box, yet no matter how many times I enter the correct credentials it just keeps saying incorrect login or password.
    The IIS login works fine in Firefox and IE. I've set IIS to accept plain text as well as the standard Windows integrated authenticated, but Safari still refuses to log in.

    > How do I create a password protected webpage using
    dreamweaver 8
    to suggest a method- you need to supply more info.
    do you want a common user/pass for all users, all with the
    same access
    rights?
    or- do you want different access rights for different groups
    of people, such
    as user/moderator/admin tied into a database?
    What type of server and what type of scripting can be used
    Lastly- take a look in your site's hosting control panel if
    there is one.
    Most hosting cp will have a set up to password protect
    directories, and
    create authorized users who are allowed access.

  • After updating on my mac - I cannot open various password protected pages - like my WordPress site. I can open them from Safari and from Firefox on my windows pc.

    after updating firefox , it won't allow input of password on various sites - like my wordpress admin page. I can access this page from safari and from firefox on my windows pc.

    I cannot open password protected WordPress pages using Firefox. They open using IE
    If I remove the password protection the page opens correctly in FF.
    I have cleared the FF cache and cookies several times, No change
    I have modified the wp-pass.php file several suggested ways related to the referrer and nothing solves the issue.
    I tried:
    wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer());
    to
    wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer() . '?');
    NO GOOD
    I tried:<br />
    <br />
    <pre><nowiki>$location = wp_get_referer();
    if ( $location == '' )
    $location = './';
    wp_redirect($location, $status = 302);
    </nowiki></pre>
    NO GOOD
    I have upgraded WordPress to 3.3.1. Still NO GOOD
    I have deactivated, and also removed all plug-ins. Still NO GOOD.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Why just an FF issue?
    IE no problems

  • With Safari, No search results in password protected iWeb site on MobileMe

    Hi,
    I'm publishing my iWeb site to my ME.COM account.
    I have the site password protected as offered in iWeb.
    But when the site is password protected and I'm accessing the site with Safari the search with the search field in the site does not produce any results.
    Only the message:
    "Your search did not produce any results."
    If I use FireFox everything works fine and the search provides the expected results.
    Looks like there is a bug in Safari.
    Thanks and Regards,
    JO

    ok, is working, now.

  • How do I stop my child from erasing the "history" on mozilla? Is there a way to password protect it so only I can access it?

    My teenager erased the history each time he goes on so that I don't see where he was (so he doesn't get in trouble for going to youtube when he should be doing homework). I'd like to be able to password protect the history so he can no longer erase it. Can you please advise me.

    One option is to use the Public Fox add-on to password protect parts of Firefox including the option to clear recent history - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/public-fox/
    The downside of using an add-on is that it is quite easy to bypass. An alternative approach is to use a third party parental control application that stores its own log of sites that are visited. If the Firefox list is cleared, the sites will still be shown in the other application. One such application is the free K9 web protection - http://www.k9webprotection.com/

  • Safari won't open iWeb Password protected site

    Safari just stalls out when I go to a password protected page I created in iWeb and posted on .Mac. I used FireFox and these pages open fine.
    Message was edited by: nus2

    Yes it does. If this were only a one time deal it might be okay but I just tried to get onto my password site again this evening, after resetting Safari this morning, and once again it won't access. Gotta figure some other way to fix this, obviously resetting safari several times a day is unacceptable.

  • Can all the options as history, bookmarks, tools etc made be password protected

    my system is shared by many people so i want to make my whole Firefox options as history, bookmarks , tools etc. made password protected.
    is this make possible?????????????

    Best bet if the computer is shared, use the Guest account in Windows or give each person that uses the computer their own limited account. Putting a password on an application without putting a password on the Windows account that it's running under gives you no security whatsoever, because they can tamper with the system (installing a keylogger, etc) to get past any security an application can provide.
    Antivirus and firewalls are unlikely help you against something that's deliberately installed - you need to limit access to windows itself if you want to be secure and private.

  • Password protection 4 FF3 but not Safari?

    greetings.
    first, i was able to post my albums from iweb on the web using safari only and not FF3. The password protection was working for safari. Then i found a handy patch to allow iweb to work on FF3. Now, however, the password protection only works when i open in FF3 but not Safari. weird. Anyone have this problem or have any tips?
    cheers,

    Thanks Starman
    it also helped to uncheck the "Miscellaneous" option in he "MIME Types" box in preferences
    things are now working as they should

  • Can I disable WiFi or password protect Safari on my teenagers iPhone?

    My 14 year old daughter has discovered MySpace! Not allowed in our home. We password protected our home iMac and had AT&T disable the EDGE data feature on her iPhone but she's using WiFi (on the iPhone, at home) to get to get around our efforts.
    So my question is is there a way to password protect Safari on the iPhone? Just turning off the WiFi won't work because she knows how to turn it back on.

    Do you not want her to have access to just MySpace, or the internet in general? If it is the Internet, you could block the iPhones MAC on the router. However, I question why you got her the iPhone in the first place. MySpace is a bit iffy, Facebook, less, but still iffy. I am 18 myself, so I know a bit how it is, having grown up in the time MySpace has grown in popularity. I really would hate to give out parenting advice as I am far from being one. Take it as more of advice from somebody who finally appreciates the restrictions my parents placed on me when I was that age.
    While blocking is good, it is also very important to teach them safety. Like many people have said, kids are devious, they will find a way. If her friends are on MySpace, she will find a way. Trust me, schools blocking it doesn't even help is stopping it. Teach online safety. One thing I have heard is allowing them to be on MySpace, but making them ad YOU as a friend allowing you to somewhat monitor who they friend and such. Someone also mentioned that fact that Version 2.0 is supposed to have Parental Controls. I would assume that would allow the things you have described. We can only hope they port from Leopard and allow times and such to be added.
    Quick question, do YOU have an iPhone?

  • Using .htaccess to password protect in safari

    I am using .htaccess to password protect a directory on a website. Is there a way to force safari to forget the password other than clearing the cache and quiting safari completely? Can a log out be created?
    Thank you

    Internet passwords are stored in the keychain. Launch the Keychain Access application, find the password item, and delete it.

  • Safari unable to open password protected websites

    I reported this bug using the bug report button on the Safari toolbar three beta version ago, and as the bug hasn't been fixed yet, I'm beginning to wonder if these bug reports actually go anywhere, especially as I once sent a "bug report" when I was not even connected to the internet and was told that the message had been sent successfully!
    When I go to for example www.ofcomswindlecomplaint.net/dev/, it asks me for my username and password, and then when I submit the correct username and password, the dialog disaapears momentarily and then reappears with a message saying they were invalid - but they are not invalid, and I can log in to the site in any browser other than Safari.
    Is there any way of ensuring this issue is seen by the developers? As I say, I have reported it three times via the bug report button but those bug reports seem to have gone into a black hole.
    Dave

    Safari has no problem with the site - if I remove the password protection Safari has no problems. It's IIS-based standard password protection that Safari isn't compatible with. And it's Safari Windows that is the problem, not the site - no other browser has any problem with it. It's a Safari bug and my question was how I can ensure that the developers are aware of it, given that the bug reports button on the Safari toolbar seems to go into a black hole.
