Safari history will not clear with open windows

I clear my history on Safari but I found the history doesn't really clear if i have other open windows in safari. Everything in the history bar disappears but when you type in URL in a new window, it will predict from a history that should be erased. I do have a workaround.....I have to close all safari windows, clear history, and that gets everything. I would like to not have to close all windows. This just started happening a month or so ago after I upgraded. Any plans to fix this?

The reason you have a clear history button is so history will be cleared It is not clearing if other windows are open.
Correct. It does not clear if other windows are open. This is how all browsers work.
No other browser works that way.
IE 7.06 tells you you have to close the browser after deleting the history to finish removing the history.

  • Since last upgrade internet history will not clear

    SSince last upgrade to my iPhone 4 the internet history will not clear. Tried usual things

    I think I've worked out how to fix this. I closed iTunes and ran Photos with the Option/Alt key depressed and told it to use the old iPhoto library as the System photo library. This caused Photos to reimport all the old photos into a new Photos library called Photos Library 2.
    When I then ran iTunes and connected my iPad, I got a message saying that the photo source had changed and nothing would be synced until I selected the correct option. This did not happen the previous time I ran Photos and imported the old iPhoto library. I'm now syncing using the second Photos library and it all appears to be working.
    I suspect that I closed my laptop down during the original conversion of the iPhoto library (thinking it had finished) and this interrupted the process. This time I let it carry on working for four hours before opening iTunes and I suspect that is what made the difference. Of course, I've lost all the photos I added in the last ten days, but I may be able to retrieve them from my backups.

  • Drop down history will not clear

    no matter what i've tried the drop down history will not clear, the same history has been on there forever

    If you wish to stop the History items showing in your location bar dropdowns my original post gave alink to an article explaining you to do that : by using your '''Privacy''' settings . If that fails to work then look at [[Preferences are not saved]]
    Firefox keeps say your last 18o days history, so in 10 years time it will still be showing history, even if it is still the last previous 180 days.
    Re the variable expiry date for history: this was settable form the main User Interface until very recently, up to about version 3.5, it must now be set using about:config

  • HT6195 Safari cache will not clear......cannot get to current version of website.

    I design our company website.  It was recently moved from Hostgator to Flywheel and I am unable to open a current version of the site or make changes via the admin page on Word Press and have it go live.  I have tried to clear the cache, but it will not clear.  Also, this is happening on my iPad 2 and my husbands MacBook Pro.  I cannot un-install safari because Maverick's won't let me.  I AM able to make changes and see the current live version on the Dell PC laptop I have.  Any ideas???

    If it only happened in one location, that would work.....it occurs when mobile, at work, at home, everywhere.  Thanks for the thought though.

  • Adobe Active X will not work with my Windows 7.  Suggestions?

    My Adobe Reader 9.xxx was replaced with Active X, which will not work for me.  I keep getting a box message that says perhaps the Adobe.com site is too busy at the tine.  I would rather have my Adobe reader 9.xxxxx back as it worked very well for me.  I have it on my other computer and it work fine.  I am using Windows 7.   Any suggestions?

    From what I understand from this message, it would seem that your Reader passed from "not working" to "now working", whatever you may mean by these two expressions. I am glad.
    May I suggest that next time you have a question, please try to state it clearly and also give enough and accurate details about your problem?
    It would also be useful if you coud mark this question as Answered.

    I don't what happen, but when I got my new computer with the Windows 8 it synched my 4S just fine. Now it keeps saying that the "USB device not recognized." And it won't even connect with itunes.

    Try the suggestions here >  iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    If nothing helped, repair permissions.
    Disconnect the iPhone.
    On your Mac open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Then select: Repair Disk Permissions
    This process can take a few minutes.
    When it's done, restart your Mac and connect the iPhone.
    If that doesn't help, reset the PRAM >  About NVRAM and PRAM

  • My iPod Touch and iPad will not sync with iTunes, Windows crashes

    I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync.  As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down.  I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error.  Not sure what to do now.

  • Firefox 8.1 downloaded today. Clearing everything, the Form & Search History will NOT clear. In 8.0 it did. Why now with 8.1?

    Same question which I've already posed. IF I can be supplied with a working email addy - I'd be happy to include some screen shots illustrating exactly what it is I'm asking here... Please send me an email addy to continue. Thanks.
    I mechanically clear EVERYTHING often when browsing. What I'm getting live arrows on for a Clear are:
    Browing & Download History
    Form & Search History (this is the ONE NOT working, no hot arrow)
    Next is Cookies
    then Cache
    Then Active Logins
    Then finishes up with Site Preferences.
    IT IS THE FORM 7 SEARCH HISTORY which won't clear using new Firefox 8.1 where in 8.0 it did. Thanks.

    You can attach images to posts (and replies) here. There's a box to upload them.
    There was only one mac-affecting change made in 8.0.1 which involved preventing a crash in the latest Java plugin. No other changes were taken. If you don't have the option to clear Form & Search History, this may be because you don't have any? Another possibility is that you have an extension that's preventing it. Can you go to Help > Troubleshooting information and paste here the extensions section?

  • Safari History does not clear

    I can't seen to clear URL history in Safari. I have clicked "clear history" in the history menu, and also "reset safari" in the safari menu. History appears cleared, but entering a part of a URL brings up URL history!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Are you sure that the URL's that appear are not on your bookmarks list?
    If you type the first part of a bookmarked URL into the address bar, Safari will complete the URL for you.

  • IPod Touch will not sync with iTunes - Windows 7 w/Service Pack 1

    I recently updated my relatively new (December) HP desktop to the new Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Since then, I have been unable to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes. Once the sync is initiated, iTunes freezes and nothing happens. Needles to say, before I did that update, I did not experience these problems. I have removed and reinstalled all the iTunes and related software, as per Apple's instructions, and still no change. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this issue or if one might be coming from Apple?

    Hello iTouch,
    Try a hard reset of your iPod. Hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons until a red slider appears at the top of the lock screen. Sliding it will power off your iPod. Turn it back on and then try connecting it to iTunes.
    That's actually a soft reset.
    A hard reset requires you to hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    Keep up the good work though.

  • The latest version of iTunes will not work with my windows platforms. It cannot access the windows runtime library.

    The latest iTunes can't access my windows (including Vista 32 & 64bit, nor Windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit versions) "Runtime" library. I've tried reloading the windows suggested .dll as well as doing a system restore and also downloaded the iTunes update and load it manually, but nothing will work. Is Apple aware of the problem and planning to release a fix, or do I have to abandon iTunes and my iPod?

    Hello there, Enantiomer.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some recommendations for troubleshooting:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes

  • History will not clear using Firefox under Mac OS 10.9.2

    Cannot clear the history. No matter what I do, I'm stuck with junk left over in the History drop-down (Sears and Lowes sites always show up). Tried uninstalling/reinstalling without success. The same sites still show up. Tried going to ~Library/Application Support/Firefox but that folder doesn't exist. How can I clear my history, and more importantly be certain my computer is not being loaded up with retained junk left behind by the browser?

    You can check the places.sqlite database.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    Remove all places.sqlite file(s) in the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database from the most recent JSON backup (bookmarks-####-##-##_xx.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder.
