Safari parental controls: disable 'delete browsing history'

Hey I am interested in accountability for web browsing on the iPad. There are a handful of apps available that have built in accountability and web history reporting, however they are all limited in usefulness because they are designed with practicality as a secondary concern. Most are unstable and lack useful features included in safari. However if apple allowed for a parental control that prevented the deleting of browsing history then it would be unnecessary to run a separate app with limited functionality. I can see this as a feature that many groups would be interested in. I wonder if apple would consider it? What do you think

my kids at age 7 are not allowed on the internet and I have to make a safe website list on my wifi router.
I know if they bring it to a friends house then its will be wide open and they are not allowed to do so yet.
I hope a kids safe app will be made or some parental controls to be made available soon

    How to totally delete browser history on iPad?

    That is the same problem I'm having w/the iPad. I am using the security to limit the websites I visit yet settings -> safari and Safari history will not allow the ability to clear the history. This will eventually bog down the performance of the iPad.

  • Safari Parental Controls

    Hey Folks - could use some help here... I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem.
    I've created a restricted account for my son and understand I must login as him to create bookmarks in his safari browser to websites that I will allow him to visit.
    The problem is when I open the browser & try to add a site by entering my admin username & password - nothing happens. Also, when I try to open his bookmarks & type in my admin name & password - it doens't do a thing... but if I hit cancel instead of trying to login - it opens the bookmarks window but I still can't add sites.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Mike
    P.S. I've tried creating a new account & also got rid of all safari preferences & settings.

    Mike,
    This is, in my opinion, quite a significant problem with Safari 4 on Mac OS X 10.4.
    I handle IT for a school over here in Scotland. The problem with Safari Parental Controls appeared yesterday (Friday). I spent the whole day working on it with no result at all. However, i have some facts about it that i have passed on to Apple for further investigation.
    The issue affects both PPC and Intel versions of 10.4.11. it does NOT affect 10.5.7.
    I confirmed my results on 10 different Macs. Test the following for me and post results...
    1. Create a new user on your Mac. Make that user a Managed one.
    2. Enable the Safari Parental Controls.
    3. Log in to the account you have just created.
    4. Try to visit a site that is not in the bookmarks.
    5. Instead of typing in Admin credentials, when prompted, simply click Cancel.
    What happens?
    6. Now, try it again with proper admin credentials entered and click on OK
    What happens?
    Thanks for your help.

  • IPad auto deleting browser history in safari

    My partners iPad(1) 16GB WiFi (Firmware 4.3.3) is deleting all browser history sparadically. For example it was there for 1 week and then deleted for 2 days running. Is this a reported fault or are they just manually clearing the history to hide stuff?

    Ok...maybe preferences are corrupted...
    Go to ~/Library/Prerferences
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Quit then relaunch Safari, go to the menu bar click History > Clear History
    If that helped, move the .plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If you don't want history saved when you visit Facebook, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Private Browsing

  • Safari + Parental Controls Enabled = Problem

    Not sure whether to post this in Safari or Snow Leopard. Just wondering if anyone has run into the infamous (for me at least) Parental Controls bug that was present in 10.5 and now it seems it's found a way into 10.6.2. I tried to checkout today at the Apple Store online and also at Wal-Mart to get a black friday deal, neither of the processes would go past the "Check Out Now" button where you would enter your address information. I switched to my Guest user account and magically it worked. Remembering that i could not connect to the iTunes store in 10.5 with parental controls enabled i tried disabling the parental controls for my user and voila! It works. Has anyone else come across this? Nothing big just annoying to have to switch users.
    Additional info: I only use it so i won't delete dock icons no internet access is limited and nothing else is set except for cannot change password. I tried it with FireFox (don't use it regularly just downloaded it) and got the same result, would not go past to the checkout.
    Thanks!

    It's a similar problem
    The problem in 10.5 was discussed here also:

    It's not a big deal, just a bit frustrating, i do order online a lot.
    Since you went to the trouble to ask here, I'd think that not being able to use some of the sites you mentioned would be more important - do you need instructions on how to initiate/replace dock icons?
    Haha! No, i've been using Mac OS X long enough i know how it works.

  • Deleted browsing history

    After having my iPad for a while now, there are two things occurring as of recent: at times while browsing safari, the browsing will just close and return to the home screen of the iPad. Also the browsing history has started deleting at times, at least I think. Does this happen automatically or does the erasing have to be initiated to be deleted?
    Thanks!

    I think you experiencing a crashing app when Safari suddenly closes the page and your iPad returns to the home screen. As far as I know, you have to delete the history on your own by editing your bookmarks directly in Safari or by going into your settings on the home screen and deleting the bookmarks from the Safari settings in there. I see no way to set Safari to do it automatically.
    One easy thing you can try is to simply turn your iPad off, wait a few seconds and turn it on again. This worked for me when Safari was crashing on me. You may also try a reset on you iPad as well. You can find the instructions in the bookmarks in the Safari browser in the iPad user guide.
    Try the simple steps first and see if those don't work for you

  • Using Safari Parental Controls for Myspace

    We use Parental Controls for my daughter's MacBook running Leopard 10.5.6. With MySpace, it restricts her at each new page. For instance, mail, photos, her home page etc, we have all manually added so they work OK. BUT, if she gets a new friend, which happens all the time, we have to add those pages as well. It is quite cumbersome and difficult to keep up with. Is there a better way? I would like to just approve the whole site, but it won't let me do that.

    The problem is that a lot of these programs actually don't get the proper ratings. This is a bug. For instance:
    Take a look at the app for OpenTable.  It's rated 4+.  But if you go into the app and click "About" in the menu, then go to "help and Support," it pops you into an embedded web browser that is directed to the Opentable website.  With a little bit of work, you can get the browser to navigate to Google or somewhere else that will give you carte blanche to see any site, including ****. I have watched this happen with family members, and it reveals a serious defect in the parental controls portion of the iOS ratings system.
    Here's how to fix If a browser is embedded in an app, even for reading local HTML, the app gets a 17+.  The only ways to avoid the 17+ rating are: (1) use Safari to open HTML pages/links (which honors parental control settings); or (2) restrict all browser activity to either local files or a very select set of remote web pages on a trusted site.

  • How to recover deleted browser history using time machine on osx lion

    I turned my time machine backup on. Deleted some of my browser history. And restored the entire App, Google chrome, hoping my history would reappear. However it didn't. Same with Safari.
    What am I missing? Or rather, how to restore just the hisotry and not the rest of the application?

    I'm surprised because I just opened History.plist in TextWrangler and all the history listings are in there. There may be some interaction with other parts of what Safari saves during a session, and the only other approach that comes to mind is more serious surgery. The History.plist you found is contained in a folder called "Safari" along with a bunch of other stuff. At the risk of losing anything else you've done in Safari since then (e.g., new bookmarks), try restoring the entire Safari folder from Time Machine, being sure that the TM point you've selected is before the deletion. You might want to copy the current Safari folder to the Desktop first, just in case. And, again, Safari must not be running during the attempt.
    There is also a Safari directory in /Users/username/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari which has a history component in it but I'm not sure if you need that restored, too.
