Should i "Remove All Website Data" as well as clear Cookies and Data off my iPad

Should I "Remove All Website Data" as well as Clear Cookies and data?

Not for normal everyday use.
Would you have a specific reason to do so?  If not, don't bother.

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • Safari 6.0.5 "Remove all website data" doesn't work

    Safari 6.0.5, OS X 10.8, MacBookPro 17" Mid-2010.
    I cannot properly remove the cookies from Safari. It takes 3, 4 or 5 relaunches to clear them all. Bug?
    I have even installed OS X 10.8 on a blank disk, from scratch. I have even repaired my boot disk permissions. The trouble is still there.
    This is what I do:
    I clear the cache with Command-Option-E.
    I select the menu "Safari:Reset Safari...", I mark all the check-boxes and press the OK button.
    I go to the Preferences:Privacy panel, and I clearly see "5 websites stored cookies or other data". Sometimes they are even hundreds.
    I click on the button "Details..." and verify they are all listed there. Yes they are.
    Now I click on the button "Remove all website data". It seems the data have been removed. No more messages aside the button.
    Then I quit and relaunch Safari, then I open the Preferences:Privacy panel.
    Well, I clearly still see "5 websites stored cookies or other data".
    So I click again on the button "Remove all website data". It seems the data have been removed. No more messages aside the button.
    Then I quit and relaunch Safari, then I open the Preferences:Privacy panel.
    Well, I clearly still see "2 websites stored cookies or other data". So only 3 data have been removed.
    Now I click on the button "Remove all website data". It properly shows the data have been removed.
    Then I quit and relaunch Safari, then I open the Preferences:Privacy panel.
    Finally, I see the data have been removed. But is that true? Is that reliable? Of course I don't trust that.
    So I quit Safari once again, relaunch it once again and verify that on the Preferences:Privacy panel.
    Finally I quit Safari (with still some doubt...).
    I guess that's not what I am supposed to do.

    Just take care where you browse, use private browsing if you are unsure and that should be enough.   As an option, I bought an app called 'Cookie'. It's about £10 and I found it very good for a whole range of other cookies like databases and flash cookies.   Read about it at ...

    HI,
    Wow you must have been watching me type and hit send since it took about 1 minute for the reply. Thanks.
    Yes i understand the purpose however i still feel as though i should be able to decide for myself if i want to use them as an "option" or turn them off entirely. It's sort of akin to the "trash bin" that's not really trash, though in that instance at least microsoft and Apple listened to consumers (eventally) and allowed users to make the choice. Hey there's a thought how about Apple points the delete to the trash bin and looses the annoying popup, that way we can restore cookies? Sorry, i'm being sarcastic but in my view, if i delete a cookie or a cached web icon it's not exactly the same thing as "saving us" from deleting a spreadsheet or system files. Oh but wait in that instance i CAN delete them without having to endure the annoying "are you sure" pop up. it looks like someone missed the bus on this one. Thanks again I'll check the web for the terminal command and try and edit the tag myself.

  • Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not  all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

    Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not  all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

    I have done a little experimenting: 1-close all open windows (I found that I had to do this step in order to keep Safari from hanging-will be explained later). 2: Remove all data in Prefs. 3: Immediately close the prefs window (no window should be open at this point) and quit Safari. Try to complete step 3 fast as possible; I have it down to a few seconds. The reason I urge you to close all windows is that Safari hangs until forced to quit upon immediately quitting after removing cookies. I think the auto page reload in Lion is the cause of these hiccups but I can't be sure about that. The hasty quit I found is crucial to success. Don't know why that is but it could prevent the data from re-populating. A quick flush, if you will.  Hit me back if you need any of my suggestions clarified; a bit wordy, I know

  • "Remove all website data," cookies, and extension preferences

    Safari 5.1 Lion
    Can someone please confirm the following (very unfortunate) behavior?
    1) Check the option "Block cookies from 3rd parties and advertisers"
    2) Visit any major site (CNN, CNET, etc.)
    3) 3rd party cookies and tracking data is still acquired from doubleclick, etc. despite step #1
    In other words, Safari 5.1 does not seem to be blocking third party cookies. I have seen other threads documenting this. What's worse is that "removing all website data" (Preferences | Privacy tab) *also* deletes your extension preferences. ***?
    Chrome and Firefox separate "local data" (extension prefs and site offline storage) from cookie/tracking data. Safari is no longer an option to me until this is fixed.

    I, too, am perplexed by this change. Then again, I've been perplexed by most of the changes Apple has made to products/os in the last few years. I'm thinking that I may not only change browsers, but hardware/software also. It's issues like this that make me wonder if anyone on the Apple design team actually uses any of their products, or maybe they think we are all just too ignorant to be able to use a computer.
    Making things simple to use shouldn't equate to removing advanced functionality, but it seems that's what Apple believes it to be.
    Really disgusted now.
    Thanks Apple.

  • Rest Safari/remove all website data

    I thought I was clever and creating a faster way to delete all cookies as opposed to having to navigate all the way into -
    Safari/preferences/privacy/remove all website data/remove now
    Instead I set up -
    Safari/reset safari/remove all website data (the only checked box)/remove
    It worked - ONCE.
    Now it won't work again.  Strange. 
    Safari Version 6.0.1 (7536.26.14)/
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Ideally - a keyboard shortcut - or one click "trash all cookies" macro would be great.

    Hi..
    You can select Ask websites to not track me in Safari > Preferences > Privacy
    For Apple >  Use of Cookies
    If you really want to have better control over cookies, try another browser like Firefox
    Using the Cookie Manager

  • Remove All Website Data Not Working

    Hello All,
    I am currently using a MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.8.5 with Safari ver 6.2.2. Recently I have noticed that when I go to preferences and click on Remove All Website Data it does not clean out the sites I have visited. Is this a common problem or do I have a virus or is there a fix? Please help. Thank you for your time.

    If you want to delete only the browsing history and keep all other data, select Show History from the History menu. In the window that opens, select all the history items and press delete.

  • Remove All Website Data???

    Hi,
    In Safari Preferences, Remove All Website Data - doesn't.
    At least not the first time.
    I have to go into Details and Remove All a couple of times for it to to clear.
    And it often lists websites that I haven't been to before or ones that I seen in a while and that I have already cleared.
    Is this happening to anybody else?
    Cheers.

    I can't answer wtih certainty. But, it seems like it is a Safari issue that is pretty new, maybe new to Mountain Lion.

  • I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup.

    I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential  files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

  • Firfox 8 is sometimes very slow to load random websites and others it loads quickly, IE8 loads all websites ok. Have cleared cookies and cache and allowed ff as exception in Windows firewall.

    I use FF 8.0 (x86en-US) as default browser, since update to 8.0 FF intermittently takes ages to load some websites, sometimes not loading the site at all. To rectify this I go back one page to the Google results or hyperlink and ask FF to load the webpage again. This usually solves the problem but not always. I have cleared cookies and cache and added FF to exceptions in windows firewall. The websites affected are not always the same and some that load quickly one day can take ages next time. IE8 loads all websites OK. Antivirus and malware scans all clear.
