Safari history back up

Hello
Can anyone please help me with this...
Found some disgusting 'dating' website on my partners phone history. He got his new phone and used an old back up to start it up. He is saying that it's from years ago but it is only this website which had transferred to his history (which had been signed into so the password had also been remembered).
If anyone can help me with this in plain English I would be very grateful. It was either this or Jeremy Kyle....!

Is that the computer that the iPad is normally synced to (an iPad is designed to be synced to one computer at a time) ? If I drag, for example, a video over and onto the iPad device then it looks like the following (it should also have a under the line of the item that I'm dragging but that isn't showing on my screenshot) :
With the box at the top of iTunes showing the progress of the copy :
With similar progress shown in the Movies part of my library. But are you instead seeing something like :
If you are then you could try clicking the 'Sync' button at the bottom right of that screen and see if it then copies over

Is there a way to get all of my old safari history back?

I have a iPod touch 4g and I have recently restored iPod touch and it deleted all of my safari history that had some important things on it . So I am wondering if there is a way to get the history back.

I sounds like you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. In iTunes on yur computer go to iTunes Preferences. click on he Ddvices tab. If the date of the backup file indicate that it it has the history you can restore from that backup.

Access Safari history (back and forward) with keyboard command

Is there a keyboard command to access the back or forward history in Safari? The VO third level commands keyboard map (a pdf file I downloaded) shows VO + Command + [ is for the previous web spot and VO + Command + ] is for the next web spot. But it doesn't work, is this not the same thing?

Yes, they are shown in the History menu.

Try quitting Safari completely and then reboot your iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How long does the Safari history go back?

Does anyone know how long the browser history in Safari goes back/remains?
I know that one can clear the entire history if one wants to. But if one doesn't, do old entries go away either with the passage of time or with reaching some limit as to the number that can be kept at any time?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

ICloud Safari History not syncing across my devices with Yosemite and iOS 8

I have a MacBook Pro with the latest update of Yosemite installed, an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.1, an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1 and other things seem to be syncing like my bookmarks, reading list, and all other iCloud data as well as iMessages and text messages. But the one thing that does not seem to be syncing is my browsing history in Safari. This is supposed to be a new feature of Yosemite and iOS 8 and it is working for a friend of mine but not me.
How can I fix this? I've tried going into iCloud settings on all three devices and turning off Safari sync and then turning it back on but no luck.

I spoke with Apple support again this weekend. The first support specialist told me that Safari browsing history was not a feature at this time. When I sent a screenshot of the notes of what updated in Safari 8.0.2 on December 11, 2014 from the AppStore, I got transferred to a senior support specialist. They had me try things like log out of icloud and then reset my network settings on my devices. But that unfortunately did not work. My next step which I did not have time to do, is to see if it is my iCloud account by creating a new iCloud account, logging out of iCloud and then resetting my network settings and then logging into iCloud with the new iCloud account and see if Safari history syncs.
I'm not sure what they will do for me if it is my iCloud account because I have so much on that account and have email addresses that I don't want to lose. And if it isn't the iCloud account they said it is probably my devices but I am not sure what they will have me do to try to fix it if it is. Set them up as new? I don't really want to do that, it takes forever to get everything back on the device.

Safari history - how to restore from Time Capsule?

Background...
I couldn't open Safari today (beachballing with no window opening whatsoever), presumed the "com.apple.Safari.plist" file was corrupted so deleted it from "~/Library/Preferences", and restored a copy using Time Machine from my Time Capsule from yesterday before I had the issue. Safari settings from yesterday restored and working.
However...
My Safari History going back 2 years has deleted to just one month ago! How can I restore these from a previous Time Capsule backup? Is it just "History.plist" file from "~/Library/Safari" that needs to be restored, or also the one titled "HistoryIndex.sk" in the same location, and/or any others?
Also, do I need to restart machine after restoring all files needed, or should the history show immediately after just relaunching Safari?
Note: I tried doing the "History.plist" one only, yet still just get the one month of history showing. This is really urgent as I have sites in my 2 year browsing history I need to get to again!
Help very very gratefully received :-\

Though I am still finding that with circa 2 years worth of history, they may be starting to delete from the back-end after a while; so I presume there may be a theoretical max amount of sites and/or dates Safari will keep in there regardless of setting "Manually" for history deletion.
I doubt there's a maximum size specific to the History plist, but that (or corruption of it) would be the only limitation. And yes, plists do get corrupted with some frequency.
And I don't know, either, what would happen if the plist got to a maximum; whether you'd get a message, or it would drop the oldest entries.
That must be a huge+ file after 2 years! It's a bit surprising that it hasn't gotten corrupted before.
If your browsing history is that important, I'd suggest finding some other way to keep it that long, such as bookmarking the critical sites. That would take much less room (and be less subject to corruption) than the history of every site you've ever visited, every time.
And/or, there might be a 3rd-party app that would help. I don't know of any, but it might be worthwhile to look for one.

History back on non-english keyboards

It appears that all non-english keyboards (meaning keyboards that does not have the [ and ] characters as a "singlepress-key"), can't use the history back and forward feature anymore. You need to use the mouse right-click feature or use the buttons in the menu. I'm using a Wacom Tablet and have my buttons are configured to history back and forward when Safari is an active window. I've tried to switch to US keyboard and make the shortcut in the Wacom software, but after I go back to my native language - Danish - it doesnt work. After Apple changed the option from backspace to command + [ and ], I cannot use the history anymore unless I have to use the mouse.
Can anyone help?

Hi Jim,
That shouldn't be a problem at all, if you buy it in the US, the software will be in English, but should install just fine on her PC.
I'm sure someone will give their input, some people here have bought players from other regions.

Safari history limited to 100000 items

Why is Safari history limited to 100000 items although set to be removed manually? Is it a bug?
This happens in Safari 6.0.1 (8536.26.14) and OS X 10.8.2 but also happened in 10.7 — but it didn’t AFAIR prior to 10.5.

I have done a bit of digging and contributor LeonieDF has come up with this:
How about this:
http://www.tuaw.com/2008/09/04/terminal-tips-change-safaris-history-limit/
Limit to number of items:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryItemLimit 2000
Limit to number of days:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit 30
It has been tested and does not balk at 200,000.
So you could try setting it at 1,000,000! Post back in a few years to tell us if it worked!

Shared safari history

HI
i found on my iPhone 4s , on safari history many adult sites saved in the history that I didn't recognize , I've never visited any of these sites , no one has an access to my phone , but I shared my Apple ID with someone , so could he browsing these sites and his safari history is shared on my mobile , I know that safari does not share history on your devices so what's the reasonable answer to this

I thought you were referring to the "history" you see on the tabs list. This will include more than just open tabs from an iOS device; it will include all tabs that have not been cleared, which can sometimes go back quite a while depending on your browsing frequency. (My tabs list includes 24 sites, and all appear as iCloud tabs on my other devices.) If you are referring to the history folder inside the Bookmarks section on your phone, then that should only reflect sites previously visited on your phone (i.e., it doesn't include sites visited by other devices sharing the account). Syncing browsing history will be a new feature of iOS 8 later this fall.

Copying Safari History

I know that I can find the Safari history file on my Macbook Pro ( late-2012) running Mavericks 10.9.1 here:
~/Library/Safari/History.plist
I know, too, that I can use python libraries and so forth to read the .plist file.
What I don't understand is that, when I look at the history page of Safari, I already have exactly what I want - a table with 'Website', 'Parent', 'Address' in three columns, with the date of my visit in the 'Parent' column. All I want to do is copy and paste this into a spreadsheet, Numbers, say. It's simple, really, it's a handy way for me to work out where I've been spending my time so I can put together an accurate timesheet.
However, I can't use it. I select it and copy it - that works fine, but, when I past it, I only get the first column, 'Website'.
What is iTunes doing? I've not seen this behaviour elsewhere, where you simply can't copy some columns.
Is there a way to get around it? If I try to e-mail it, I simply get an e-mail with no content.
It would be an awful lot easier to just use this, rather than mess about with the .plist files.

Then there's no way to recover the lost data. You will lose every bit of data you have if you don't start backing up.

How to use time machine to navigate Safari history.

Hi!!! I would just like to know, on time machine, how do you go back in time to see your Safari history or like for example, webpages you've visited during the previous month. Please tell me where I go step by step to see this and put that history back onto the Safari browser. Thank you!!!!
PS: Please tell me how to do it on Snow Leopard and do you do it the same way on Lion???
Thanks once again!!!

I did but it wouldn' work when I clicked restore. How do I get the Safari history copied back into my history in the Safari app?? I accidently deleted all of the Safari history but it should be on time machine and it is...unless there's another way...

Javascript history.back() doesnt fire in AIR html app

I'm working on air app (html/ajax/javascript). I need to make a navigation feature, like a browser back and forward button in a page with iframe, all pages are on same domain.
I have the following scenario:
Adobe AIR (version 2.7.1) app that loads (air.HTMLLoader) index.php from mydomain.com
index.php file has following design:
<html>
    <body>
        <input type="button" value="< BACK" onclick="iframeID.history.back();">
        <input type="button" value="FORWARD >" onclick="iframeID.history.forward();">
        <ul>
            <li><a href="/page1.php" target="iframeNAME">page 1</a></li>
            <li><a href="/page2.php" target="iframeNAME">page 2</a></li>
        </ul>
        <iframe src="page_default.php" id="iframeID" name="iframeNAME"></iframe>
    </body>
</html>
So, this code works in FireFox, Chrome, Safari, but not in Adobe AIR app
I can't find any documentation about this issue, really cant understand where is the problem, as i know adobe air uses webkit for web pages browsing like chrome and safari but only in air app this code doesnt work.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks!

My Safari history tab has disappeared from my bookmarks. How Can I retrieve it?

My History tab in Safari has disappeared from my bookmarks on my iPad 2. Hw Can I retrieve it

There used to be a setting where you could set limits on the Safari history but those settings are gone now. IIRC, the settings were for 100 items, 150, 200 or something like that. It was a number of items in the history list and not a number of days. Since iOS a devices can sync bookmarks with Safari on your computer now, perhaps, that is where the history limit can be adjusted.
I am not a good judge of how long the history is retained because I erase my history and website data on a fairly regular basis. With the reading list feature and the ability to create a shortcut on the home screen for websites, I don't often find the need to go back to my history for weeks in the past.
