Safari 6: Remove History Items After One Day does nothing?

I don't like getting autocompletes from a million past sites, so I clear my history every so often. I prefer to do it manually, but Safari 6 deletes all the favicons--not just of the history but of your bookmarks too! Permanently. So I thought I'd try automatic history clearing instead: After One Day.
But three days later, the History menu still shows the full histories for the past 3 days.
Yet another bug I guess? Is this universal behavior?
I'm on Lion at the moment.

HI Reuben,
Might be corrupted Safari preference files... try this.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Quit Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
• Downloads.plist
• History.plist
• LastSession.plist
 Repair disk permissions...  
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.  Restart Safari

Remove History Items After 1 Day

I have Safari's prefs for "Remove history items" set to "After 1 day", however it doesn't clear my history after 1 day. In fact it behaves as if it's set to "manual". Is this a bug? There was another post that is now archived that indicated that this is probably a bug, but that was from 2009. Surely, by now a bug in the first tab of the preferences pane should have been patched. Or am I missing something? I've cleared history and cache a few times to no avail. Any help?

Try deleting the cache associated with Safari...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. See if that makes a difference...
If not, check Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.

"Remove history items" general setting - what does it mean?

In the help for this menu option it states "Use the menu to specify how often you want Safari to clear the history list." You can choose from:
- After one day
- After one week
- After two weeks
- After one month
- After one year
- Manually
Does that mean it to clear items that are older than one day/week/weeks/month/year, or does it mean to clear the entire history list every day/week/weeks/month/year? The history cleared but it wasn't done manually so I am trying to figure this out.

Hmm, now that you mention it, it is a bit confusingly worded
Safari should remove History that is older than those options.
i.e. only the last days history is retained, or the last weeks, etc.

My history deletes after one day.

I have "delete after 90 days" ticked and also "clear history when firefox closes is unticked". It seems to delete everything when I turn computer off. I only have the currents day's history there while it's on.

I noticed that everytime i closed the browser, the history of the current day was gone as well, even though the option 'clear History when firefox closes' was turned off.
I manually turned them off in about:config by making them false
Privacy.ClearOnShutdown.Cache etc and switched from 'Use Custom Settings' to 'Remember History'
and it seems that firefox no longer clears the history upon closing. It is strange however that it does not seem to use the settings set in the Tools -> Options -> Privacy Custom settings
This is not a problem for all firefox users in our enterprise though, and for now an isolated incident.
Hope the above helps some people as well.

Remove after one day

Hello,
I have gmail and pop accounts.
Is it possible that mail from trash will be automatically deleted from Trash?
There is an option "Deleted Messages Remove after one day" but it does not work.
Can you help me ? What is wrong?
Regards, Tom

This doesn't work for your Gmail account only or it doesn't work for all accounts?
I believe this removal is based on a 24 hour period of time so none of the messages marked for deletion the day before at anytime during the day are not automatically purged from the account's Trash mailbox the following day? You have messages marked for deletion two days ago that have not been purged?
If so, try deleting and manually recreating these accounts on the iPhone to see if this makes any difference.

Mozilla or firefox quits 10.3 after one day of installation

I tried to install mozilla on my ibook 10.3.9 and after one day it starts quiting. I deleted the fist one and it still quits.
I did permission repair, macgenitor and removed all the files by locating them with the command apple F before reinstalling.
thank you.
both: imac and ibook Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Which version of FireFox? If it's not 1.5.0.6 then download and install that version.
Close down FireFox and search your hard drive for the following and then delete and empty the trash:
- org.mozilla.firefox.plist
- Firefox (only the one in Caches! Only delete the ones in Application Support and Applications if you want to reinstall FireFox again)
Restart Firefox. Does it still crash? If so when? Do you get any error message? Can you surf in Firefox at all? Is it just certain sites that it crashes on? If so then post a URL we can test. Do other browsers (eg. Safari) work OK? Are you having problems with any other applications? Have you installed any extensions in FireFox? If so then update them and deinstall those that appear to be incompatible. Deinstall all of them if you still have problems.
There should be a crash log somewhere: open the Console application and press the Logs button. Look under ~/Library/CrashReporter and/or /Library/CrashReporter. The data will probably not be understandable, but there's a chance that something is immediately obvious - maybe a 'file missing' or similar? You can post the contents here if you don't understand anything.
It occurs to me that it might be a Java problem - especially if only certain sites appear to be affected. And you have problems with other applications. I seem to be OK, but others apparently have had a problem with a Java update, see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301380

HT204022 I have owned an ipad for a few months and taken photos without synching to Photstream. Having just done this I now see photos are removed from iCloud after 30 days. Are these recoverable or lost for good?

I have owned an ipad for a few months and taken photos without synching to Photstream. Having just done this I now see photos are removed from iCloud after 30 days. Are these recoverable or lost for good?

Please see the following:
iCloud- Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud- Photo Stream limits
The 30 day limit, as I understand it, prevails after you reach one of the prevailing number limits. I've yet to reach one of those limits over the past few years and my PhotoStream is still intact.
However, it's a good idea to move your photos into iPhoto which is your on-disk library. And, this library can be backed up locally, thus, preserving your photos.

Hi,
Check whether program RBDMIDOC is scheduled only once? If it is running only once then you this will happen.
And also schedule the job to execute only after your upload process is over.

Adobe Trial Software expires after one day if launched in June 2008

A large majority of Adobe Trial Software Packages, including After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Illustrator, contain a time-out bug which will affect people who launch the trial for the first time in June 2008. Users who launch a trial application for the first time in June 2008 will be given only one day, rather than 30 days, to trial the software.
When you open the trial version of an Adobe program, you are warned that the trial will expire after one day. When you open the trial after that day, the trial has expired.
If you decide to purchase the product in June, instead of having 30 days to activate your product, you only have one day to activate.
Users who first launched their trial before June 2008 are not affected.
Adobe have released a Trial Repair Tool, which will grant 65 days of trial use for users who have launched in June 2008. Download the Repair Tool here:
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/all/mac/TrialRepairTool.dmg
Please read the Adobe Technote for complete details and instructions on use of the Trial Repair Tool.

No. Get used to it. It's called progress. No offense, but generally I get the impression that you are looking for something that nobody realyl will be able to help you with. If your whole workflow is based on outdated trial versions (and that includes your old AutoCAD), it begins to smell like you have done that for a while now and only now it doesn't work and then we are quickly approaching the sign that says "Piracy town, next crossing left". Either that, ore you are stuck with a 10 year old computer, in which case you will have to straighten out that first.

Creative ZEN died....after ONE day of use

Okay, so I got this thing as a present for my birthday yesterday, I was really happy, it being my first mp3 and all. Well, I took EXTREMELY good care of this. But then, before I go to bed, I decided to add one more picture onto it. So, I plugged it into my USB port, as usual, but then the unthinkable happens. It shows the battery charge at the top right corner of the screen for a split second, then there's a small flash, then it died. I can no longer turn it on. AFTER ONE DAY OF USE!!! Thing is, I didn't even use it that much. PLEASE HELP!!! There's no way for me to get another one,. please, how can I make it turn on again!

UK: MSI H55-S01 died after one day

I'm based in the UK, and I recently purchased an MSI H55-S01 from a eBay seller in the states. The product appears to be brand new, but died after one day.
(No, I didn't increase the voltage, spill my drink, handle it without static protection, etc.)
I've tried all the obvious fixes, such as CMOS resetting, and different cases, CPUs and RAM, and basically the board just doesn't power on at all.
The MSI UK support site says I should send it back to the seller for RMA, but the seller is 3500 miles away and I'd have to pay import tax (again).
Can this be dealt with in a more practical manner by MSI UK? How do I get hold of MSI UK without phoning a premium rate number?

Quote
I don't think so, no. How would I go about attempting to fix this myself? Any ideas?
Honestly not sure what to advise since you seem to be knowledgeable as to troubleshooting procedure. RAM can always be a problem. Recommend to do all the testing with just one stick in the primary DIMM slot. Try each stick individually. Since you have tested a lot of the components in another system, I have no idea how to proceed to start and find what's faulty on the mainboard itself.

Stops recieving emails after one day on 5800

Hi have been currently using the Messaging and find it really a great program but after one day my the program will not download any new email via send and receive.
In the connection info there is specified that the last sync is successful but no emails are received.
If from the settings I choose to reset the data I start receiving new emails for about a day or so and the same thing happens again.
I am subscribed to a gmail and yahoo account.
Does anyone has the same problem?
regards
Rodrick

Nokia messaging that you install manually?
I have a similar problem, sometimes messages sit in the outbox even though it is connected. I send/receive, exit the app, reboot the phone, but they won't send. I've had to reinstall it a few times because it keeps happening.
Generally it's a good app, but what i really would prefer (and i'm disappointed it doesn't seem to be in the new firmware update) is HTML support in the built-in client.

Retention policy not removing items after 14 days?

Hello and good day all.
I hope some one can help with this. I have an Exchange 2013 server and i need to set a Retention policy to delete items from select mailboxes after 14 days. These boxes get automated log emails that are only needed if a problem is reported that day. Otherwise
they are trash. no users check these boxes and so they tend to fill up.
The following was all done in the web interface.
In "Retention tags" screen I have a policy called "14Days" and it is set "Delete and allow Recovery" then period is "In Days" 14
This is then in the "Retention Policy" Screen added to a policy called "2Weeks"
I then added this in "Mailbox Features" screen to the select boxes.
All this done 26 days ago. I figured i need to wait the 14 days for the cycle to come around. However these boxes still have items from September in them. I used a command line to verify the policy is on the mail boxes.
Some items are in the in-boxes and some are in deleted items.

Hello and good morning. The mystery continues.
in event log is have items 9017 saying the work cycle started and there are 14 boxes on this data base. Then i have an event 9018 saying 14 were processed.
Does it matter that I have 4 Mailbox databases? the ones to have this policy are all in a single data base.
There are no other policy's created or defined other then the ones that came with exchange that we don't use.
I created a new policy with a 15 day retention and applied it to a box.
Next i cleared the entire event log and then ran "Start-ManagedFolderAssistant" to force it on
the mailbox.
so then just to check i ran "Get-RetentionPolicyTag
-Identity "15 day retention " | fl"
And it looks okay.

Deleted messages remove after one day (one week, one month) not working

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to iOS 7 automatic email cleanup does not seem to be working?
I have an IMAP email account set up with the following setting: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, [then tap the email account in question] > Account > Advanced > Deleted Messages Remove > After one week
I have had that configuration on my iPhone and iPad for a very long time, and it always deleted everything out of my deleted messages folder (which, on my system, is called Trash) that was older than one week. It would do this no matter when the message was actually deleted, and no matter whether I deleted it on my iPhone, my iPad, on a computer using Outlook, or through a web interface. (It actually would have been nice to retain a message I had just deleted for the one-week period in case I changed my mind; instead the way it worked was if I deleted a message that was received months ago, it would be removed from Trash almost right away. But it worked consistently.)
Now, since iOS 7, it does not appear to be cleaning out that folder at all. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm not sure if it's not removing any messages, or if it's just not removing messages I delete on another platform (like Outlook). So today I've done a test with a specific message that I will watch over the next little while to see how it works. But in the meantime I thought I'd ask if anyone else has noticed this, and if there is a solution.

Really nobody?
Is this working properly for people? It's not working for me on either my IMAP account or on an iCloud email accout, so I think iOS 7 broke something here. I've submitted a bug report on the feedback form, but it would be nice to know I'm not alone.
