Resetting / Removing Old URLs From Address Bar When Manually Typing In URLs

How do you Reset / Remove Old URLs From Address Bar When Manually Typing In URLs. You know, when you start to tpye in www. and about 2000 URLs visted in your life, and past life, appear in a list. It's annoying as all heck, and since it's in alphabetical order it's always throwing in the first one in the list... 1800flowers in my case. Isn't there a way to reset this or something? Or better, to turn it off? I've already tried emptying cache and clearing history. I also removed the .plist files as well. What would happen if I did a reinstall of Safari?

Hello Jonny Apple Seed
The way to clear the address bar is to reset Safari, under Safari menu,
this will also clear,
"Resetting Safari clears the history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes all cookies. It also removes any saved user names and passwords or other AutoFill data and clears Google search entries.
In addition, any open windows are closed and a new window opens. The new window has a new history for the Back and Forward buttons and the SnapBack buttons". From Safari Help
A reinstalled Safari will just come to be the same, after a while. Not worth it in my opinion. The address bar will not be completely empty.
Hth some.

Clicking on URL in address bar does not select the URL

I have Firefox 6 recently installed with Ubuntu 11.04. When you click on the URL in the address bar to enter a new URL, the current URL does not select so that you can just type in the new URL. Instead, the cursor will mark a spot in the current URL and if you type in the new URL, it will only add the typed characters in the middle of the current URL, not replace the whole URL as it should. The only way that I can change websites is by swiping across the current URL to select it, then type in new URL. Or, right click and choose select all, then type in new URL. I have tried starting Firefox in safe mode and disabled add-ons, but still the same. I have not tried to remove Firefox and prefer not to if there is a simple fix. Thanks.

You can set the pref browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to true on the about:config page.
You can also use a double-click:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Cannot remove autocomplete entry from address bar; have already cleared history, and entry is not in the drop-down menu of the address bar either.

I am having problems removing an autocomplete entry from my address bar; I have tried clearing my history, so it's no longer in that, and I do not have it bookmarked either, so it's not getting the URL from that location either. The autocomplete entry isn't even showing up in the drop down menu, so I can't even scroll through that to delete it.
Basically, I want to be able to type "st" and go to "store.steampowered.com"; however, despite numerous times of typing in "st" and then going down into the drop-down menu to choose "store.steampowered.com", the bar continues to autocomplete "steamtrades.com", which is exceptionally annoying because I do not have that website bookmarked, or in my history, yet it continues to autocomplete to that address, which I do not want it to autocomplete to, and cannot figure out how to remove because I've already cleared my history multiple times, do not have it bookmarked, and it is not showing up in the drop down of the address bar for me to go down and force delete it.

Did you try to remove some letters from steamtrades.com to see if that bring this entry up in the drop-down list?
If it is not in the history then it might be present with a typed=1 flag indicating that you have typed or pasted it in the location bar.
You can use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the places.sqlite file to see if this entry comes up in the moz_places table.
*SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
<pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%steamtrades.com%'</nowiki></pre>

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
Thanks

If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

Best way to remove old data from db?

Hi,
I am looking some ways to keep my database small and remove old data from database and archive it somewhere else. the data may need to be put back to the database in the future. One of the things I am conserned is how to enforce constraints? In other words, when I remove data, all the related pk/fk data should be removed together. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

hope this may help u
concept is : exp/imp & truncate will reclaim the space
method1
do an export and secure the dump(say dump1) for future purpose.
delete the unwanted data.
commit.
now again export the tables ( say dump2).
now do the import(dump2).
/*now this import will reclaim the the unused space.*/
method 2
/* depennded on volume of data */
-- create backup of existing table for future
create table backup_table nologging as select * from original_table;
-- create copy1 of existing table
create table copy_table nologging as select * from original_table;
-- truncate the original table, so that highwater mark is reset.
truncate table original_table;
-- insert data from copy_table into original table
insert /*+ APPEND */ into original_table select * copy_table where(ur conditions for data);
commit all the work.
/* now u have 3 tables
backup_table - with all the data - for future reload
original_table - with unwanted data deleted and space reclaimed.
copy_table - copy of original table.
now u drop the copy_table
drop table copy_table;

Can't remove old email from iCloud!!

Can't remove old email from iCloud!!

but I still can't delete iCloud email address pXXX @ gmail.com on my iphone
It shows an error 'Incorrect password' which they should both be the same password.

Welcome to the Apple community Pavinee Supajilt.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Firefox 4 is not appearing in Task bar or some times it is Disappearing from task bar when i am minimising the window. so, i had to go to Task manager and find the icon.Its becoming big messy if tabs are not found , to switch programmes.

firefox icon is missing from "Task bar"when i am minimising the window

I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

In the address bar, when i hit the down arrow that brings up the list of web sites previously visited, when i click on a site to go to, nothing happens,

Ok, I'm asking again. In the address bar, when i hit the pull down arrow to show the list of sites i frequently visit i usually click on where i want to go...say espn.com, lately, when i click on the espn.com or any of the other sites listed, nothing happens, its stays on google, my home page. Pls help

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Launching URL without Address bar and Menu Bar

Guys,
I use the following piece of code to launch an URL from the application. I want to launch the URL without address bar & Menu bar. how this could be achieved?
<af:goLink id="gl1" targetFrame="_blank"
destination="/faces/com/abc/xyz/pages/page2.jspx?oppid=#{row.oppId}">
<af:outputText value="#{row.OpportunityNumber}" id="ot13">
</af:outputText>
</af:goLink>

Dev,
As far as I know, the only way to request a browser window to open without address/menu bar is via JavaScript (note that it's just a request - depending upon the browser being used and the security settings, the address bar in particular may end up being shown anyway). So, I don't believe you can do this with an af:goLink.
Note: why do you include an af:outputText as a child for af:goLink? af:goLink has a "text" property to display the text.
Note #2: It appears as if you are launching a link to the app itself - is the only reason you're using af:goLink instead of af:commandLink in order to ensure that the link opens in a new window?

Can't remove old episodes from iPod sine Update!

I have a Shuffle & usually carry 3-5 episodes each of 8-10 different podcasts. Sine installing the new iTunes for Windows, I can't remove old eps from the device, & it's a total crapshoot as to which NEW episodes the system will allow me to click on!!
HELP!!!!!!

There are several ways to add podcast episodes to the shuffle, so please correct my assumptions in a reply. How you add podcasts determines how you remove them. I can't tell how you do it from the info you provide.
It sound like you may add podcast episodes manually (drag and drop to iPod). If you do, and your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, you should consider doing it using automatic syncing, by putting podcast episodes on a playlist (in your iTunes library and syncing it to the shuffle). Update the playlist at any time, by adding new podcast episodes and removing old ones (the shuffle does not need to be connected). Put the podcast episodes in desired order. iTunes automatically updates the shuffle the next time it is connected (or by clicking Sync if already connected). On the shuffle, you can listen to podcasts from that playlist, and hear episodes from different podcasts consecutively, in the desired order.
When you remove podcast episodes manually, is this the way you do it? Again, this is for 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. Select the shuffle in iTunes, so that you see its "management" screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Podcasts. To the right, the podcast episodes currently on the shuffle are shown. Select the one(s) you want to remove an press Delete on the keyboard.

How to Remove old updates from Software Update service

Running a 10.10.2 OS X Server and have a lot of old Update files I need to get rid of. I have followed instructions on...
Mac OS X Server 10.4 or later: Removing old updates from Software Update Server
...but getting this error...
No such file or directory
...when typing...
grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update_list.txt
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't use Apple's own SUS software I use Reposado instead, however it is my understanding that the locations of files used by Apple's SUS software have been moved with Yosemite/Server 4.x.
Try looking in the following locations
/Library/Server/Software Update/Config/
/Library/Server/Software Update/Data/
/private/var/db/swupd/

Entering URL in address bar causes spinning beach ball...doesn't return

entering URL in address bar causes spinning beach ball. Safari then doesn't return and I have to force quit. This happens every time I try to type a url. It only
does this on one account on the computer and not another on same computer.
Under library preference I dragged the internet pref pane into trash. This did not help. I also dragged the system user perference pane com.apple.safari.plist as well into the trash but also did not fix the problem.
I can not drag the internet pref pane from the trash back to the library folder. Will this cuase any problems?

Glad you took the next step. My next suggestion was going to be the History file, which too is in the Safari folder. Sounds like that was the culprit.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content. For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end. Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists. The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed. Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod). Click Music there. To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with one or more songs selected.
You can also use the iPod's "management" screen. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music. This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

Remove Old Bookmarks From Favorites

Hi,
Does any one know how to remove old bookmarks from the favorites list in the open file dialog from a web template?
Im on BI7
I have deleted the bookmarks using the transaction SA38 -> RSWR_BOOKMARK_REORG
When i try to open one of the deleted bookmarks in the dialog it errors and says they dont exist, but the link still stays.
Any Ideas.
Thanks
Josh

HI
Ive noticed there are two different ways of saving bookmarks/favorites:
If a bookmarks is saved in the bex portfolio you can delete it using SA38 -> RSWR_BOOKMARK_REORG, however this only seems to delete the bookmark in the backend as the link still remains in the portal in the open window, the link just throws and error saying it does not exist, still not sure how this link is cleared
The other is if they save it as a favorite, this can be deleted via the portal admin in the KM content under userhome and the specific user and favorites.
If i find out any more ill post back here.
