Safari History on the iPad

How do I restrict my child from deleting the Safari History, he usually deletes the History and then I never know what exacly he is looking at. I don't want to set too many restrictions, and not be as controlling, but would still like to know what pages he looks at. But he always deletes his History. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Where did you see a "Parental Control Settings pane"?
The only parental control that I am aware of is the Restrictions part.
You can - for example - restrict the use of certain apps, installation/deletion of apps, in-app purchases, etc.
You can also restrict the use of certain websites or define your own restricted websites.
If your child wants to visit a certain website, he would have to ask your permission.
BTW, if you restrict Websites > Specific Websites Only = On, then the history cannot be cleared anymore, except by the person who knows the Restrictions passcode. This feature could be of interest to you, but your child would then literally be limited to visit certain websites of your personal choice only.
Anyway, if you don't want to restrict the Clear History function, then I can't think of another solution right now.
Make sure you don't forget your Restrictions passcode, otherwise you have to restore the iPad.

Restoring safari history on the ipad

My son is deleting his safari history, and I am wondering how to view the safari history after it has been deleted.

There is no way to stop clearing history in Safari/iPad at present.
Try Kidsafe browsers.
Best.

Does the safari app on the iPad mini crashes a lot running on iOS7?

does the safari app on the iPad mini crashes a lot running on iOS7? Because my dad's ipad mini safari app crashes alot.

Try closing all apps in Multitask Window
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

HT204088 Why can't I see the purchase history from the ipad? I mean, I can buy apps and in game content directly from my iPad, but I have have to install iTunes on my PC to see the purchase history? What kind of deal is that?

Welcome to Apple Communities
You don't need to install iTunes for the purchase history. You can see it in your iPad (iTunes > Purchased), but you need to install it if you want the order numbers

Only the safari element of the ipad has locked up, how do i restart

I purchased my IPad 2 early August 2011 and it has developed a problem. All elements of the iPad are OK other than the SAFARI bit which has "locked up". How do I re-start?, any ideas anyone?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How do I block you tube page in the Safari browser in the ipad

My son is 12 and uses the iPad in your school to be endorsed with their subjects and study. however, I can not block you tube in Safari lest they see inappropriate videos.

You can go to the settings app then pick General then pick restrictions. I did not see a direct way to restrict just YouTube and not turn Safari as well. There are some options based on ratings that my help you keep them away from some of the worst of the videos.

Why does safari hang on the ipad 3 ios 5.1.1

I got the ipad3 about a month ago and Ive noticed that safari hangs all the time. At first I thought it was the network but after using it at a friends house and using it on 4g. When it hangs the whole ipad locks up and is non responsive to landscape changes. I find i have to reset it daily. Anyone have this going on.

I'm not sure where I would start with trying to isolate the app. I would just launch one app at a time, use Safari see what happens, then launch another app, use Safari .... rinse and repeat. I would probably pay attention to other apps that depend on an internet connection, but so many apps do, so you will just have to be patient and diligent in your approach.
If you can't ultimately get this situation straightened out, you might want to make an appointment at a Genius Bar and have an Apple rep take a look at your iPad as well.

Synching Safari bookmarks on the iPad

Hi, I am not sure how to do this, hence my post here. I would like to have safari's bookmarks to be the same on my mac and on my ipad. I have the bookmarks option on icloud selected but the ipad still has its own set of bookmarks. Is there a way to force update it?
Thanks in advance!
Bob

There is really no setting to change on the iPad. Have you tied another browser on the iPad? IThe background shows on my iPad with the Opera Mini (free) browser.

Potential safari extensions on the ipad

I've hit a real functional road block with the iPad not supporting applications being able to choose files and upload them. I understand the security model but I'm wondering if someone knows enough about the interface libraries and extensions to tell me if my idea would be feasible.
Would it be possible to add an extension to Safari, so that the file chooser buttons for uploading would be enabled. Rather then browsing a file system, the extension would query installed apps for the files they manage. The application could then select the application and get access to upload the file.
Before I go through the effort to figure this out, I was hoping someone could make sure im on the right track.

Same with app store to see all app purchases.
Not sure why it is not working for you,
That shows all your purchased content yes, but not what you paid for them or when you bought them etc...

I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6 machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to add tools to the toolbar on the latest version of iPad OS & Safari Browser? If so please tell me how. Thanks

You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

So did anyone hack the iPad and made it work with Flash?

Hello Dudes & Dudettes,
I basically need to write a Flash game that would work through the Safari browser on the iPad.
Did anyone try to re-write the Adobe iPhone packager and make it work for the iPad? I am curious... ?
Also anyone knows if it is possible to hack the browser in order to use the standard embedded flash code?
I hate using the Xcode SDK, mainly because I am not that good at C++, and basically AS 3.0 would be ideal for me to develop for the iPad.
Help is much appreciated!
thanks,
Dave

ITunes won't connect to store so I can look at my purchased history using my iPad.

I have a iPad and I'm trying to view my purchased history for iTunes but it keeps telling me that it can't connect to the store. I just got charged $32 and they didn't send me an email so I have know idea what I got charged for. Is anyone else having problems connecting to iTunes to view their purchased history using the ipad? And is there something I can do to fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these program
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- 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 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.

Love my new ipad. But after upgrading to ios7 Safari became dodgy. Now it is frozen in a white screen and nothing will free it. Everything else on the ipad works fine. I deleted data, history, cookies, etc. Same problem. No change after power down.

Everything worked fine on my new ipad. After I upgraded to ios7 it still worked fine even if it looked very different. But Safari started acting strangely (it is starting the same thing on my iPhone 4s, too). Finally, it froze in state with no URL, no keyboard will come up, I can get Safari to close and start, but not actually function. I went into settings and deleted all the cookies, data, history, and so forth. Same state. I powered down the iPad and restarted. Same state. I tried a trick were I held down the button to bring up the power down stripe and then holding down the home button. Same state.
What can I do? Can I delete Safari and re-install it somehow? Should I take it to an Apple store?

If powering down with hard reset (press and hold two buttons Power and home) will not give positive results follow that article
