Private Browsing: when you turn it off, How are files deleted?  Shredded?

When you turn off private browsing in Safari, are the history etc files just deleted? Or are they shredded/overwritten?
I have v2.0.4
Thanks.

Hi again William!
There is a tempory tracking of certain items...but when you quit Safari they're gone. Of course that's what you trying to figure out is how they are removed. I really can't answer that...but as a general rule whenever I've used private browsing and come back to Safari later after a restart there is no trace of data. If you want to be extra sure you can always reset Safari after using it. There is a folder Safari in your Users/Library/Caches folder...you can make a few tests if you like and monitor when something is added to it or not. But again my experience is reliable when coming to private browsing and resetting of Safari...for what it's worth!

    In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
    that appears at the top of this forum.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • My ipod is stuck on the apple logo when you turn it on, how do i fix it

    my ipod is froze on the apple logo that appears when you turn it on, after a while it turns off, but i can get passed this logo, could someone please help me to fix my iPod !

  • My phone is frozen on the logo screen when you turn it on how can i get it on without losing everything?

    I have so much on my phone I can't lose between me and my Military person that I cannot lose. I tried contacting support but the only way to get ahold of them is if they call my iphone or i put in my serial number which is conviently not accessable seeing as it's all in a phone that is frozen. I keep holding the home and the turn on button but it hasn't gotten me farther. How the **** am I suppose to get it to turn on so I don't lose all his pictures and messages? and none of this is backed up either.

    Try plugging it into a computer with iTunes opened. If you see anything that says restore, say no.
    Sometimes these issues resolve themselves when you connect the device to iTunes.
    What happens when you hold the home and sleep/wake button? I know it doesn't work, but does it shut off at all?

  • Does the ipod nano save the position in a track when you turn it off?

    Hello friends,    
    I listen to a lot of Dhamma talks that tend to be 30 minutes to an hour long. I am considering getting an ipod nano. The reason is that my current mp3 player, an old sony walkman, will forget the position of the track I am listening to if I turn it off and come back to it in a few days. Will the ipod nano save the position of where I am, even if i turn it off and come back to it a week later? Also, which generations have this feature and which do not?
    EDIT:
    Reading a few posts, it seems that the new ipod nanos will forget the track, just like my walkman. Which of the old generation ipod classics and nanos have this feature?
    Thank you.
    May you fare well,
    James

    If you have Shake to Shuffle turned off and you push the sleep button it shouldn't change songs in your pocket. Mine doesn't.

  • My Iphone 3GS won't connect to itunes, recovery mode won't work, only charges from wall charger when you turn it off then plug it in

    I actually have the phone now in recovery mode, it's got the screen up, and I have it plugged in, and nothing's happening. I know the cable isn't screwed, because I use it to charge all the time.

    If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes, try these steps on your Mac or PC first:

  • Logitech keyboard freezes photo stream. When connected, steaming doesn't work...however, when you turn it off, it starts working. Applestore geniuses couldn't figure out this issue .

    Having backed up ipad, erased and reloaded several times (grrr), eventually worked out that photostream sharing didn't work when keyboard bluetooth connected. Just disconnect and all fine. Surely some conflict between ios7 and the Logitech hardware??

    If it continues to show the connect to iTunes graphic, then you do have to restore the phone. If you have not created a backup of your phone, then I hope you use icould because this will erase all of the info on the phone.

  • Apple TV, how do you turn it off?

    When done with Apple TV, how do you turn it off?

    Closest to Off is "Standby" which I beleive you'll find at the end of the Settings Menu OR the Settings > General Menu.
    You can also set it to auto Sleep at a small interval ( I think 15 mins is the shortest ) which does the same thing automatically.
    By the by, It's worth familiarizing yourself with the Settings menu since there are many options there of interest.

  • How do you silence the opening chord when you turn on the iMac?

    How do you silence the opening chord when you turn on the iMac?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I do not recommend you to disable the startup sound. It indicates hardware problems when your computer is not working correctly, so it is important to leave it turned on. What you can do is to reduce the volume in OS X.
    Anyway, if you want to disable the startup sound, the easiest way is to turn off the volume in OS X.
