Visited Google Links No Longer Change Color

On my preferred browser Safari 4.1.3, visited Google links no longer change color from blue to violet.  Any fix other than upgrading OS and Safari browser?

Hmmm, still works in Safari 4.0.4 here.
I think I'd clear the caches, with one of the many apps that do so, I prefer Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Visited links no longer change color?

    my visited links in  search have suddenly stopped changing color? how to get back to color after visiting?

    I had this problem (or similar). Links changed color as I clicked them, but if I reload the page with all the links, they're all back to "unclicked". None of the above fixes helped.
    Things started behaving properly after I disabled all add-ons (and removed ones that were outdated), then re-enabled them one at a time. I can't get the problem to reoccur, so I don't know exactly what add-on was causing it.

  • Google Links Don't Change Color

    Frustratingly, the links on Google search pages within Safari do not change from blue to purple after visitation. Can anyone help me to remedy this?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Quit Safari, Go to Home folder/~Library/Preferences
    move the com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist file to the<DESKTOP.</b>
    Under the Blue Apple restart your machine.
    Do a Google search do the links look visited ? If yes :
    go back and SEE if the file recreated itself.
    If not put the file back in the Home folder/~Library/Preferences
    Check the search again do the links work right? If not Move the file
    back to the Desktop.
    DO NOT TRASH the file .
    Leave it there for some time. I left it on the desktop for a couple of hours or so continued with searchs on and off, links worked as expected.

    As i said I did move the file back into the preference folder because the file still had not recreated itself. The Links continued to work correctly after i put it back into the prefernce folder.  I am not sure why it worked, however it did work.

    I am leaving this in case it does work it did then it doesn't. I just did a google search again and the darn LINKs are not changing, I am now thinking it is something to do with GOOGLE as Dale said, I just do not know what since the new window deal did not work. This is frustrating at the least.
    I moved the file back to the desktop but did not do a restart i have to go to work no time.

  • Visited download links don't change color (but do in FireFox)

    I have a mass amount of files to download listed on a Web page.  When I click the link, the file downloads, but the link on my downloads page never changes colors to note that the link has been visited. 
    Is this a bug and is there a work around for my HTML page?  Currently I'm using javascript to change link colors.

    Thanks for the input.  I tried that, and it didn't work.  It appears to work for everything else - just not download links. 
    Here's an example of my links:
    <a href="http://cdn.setxvideo.com/001.MTS" target="new">001.MTS</a>
    in my header is
    <style type="text/css">
    a:link {background-color:#B2FF99;}    /* unvisited link */
    a:visited {
    background-color:#FFFF85;} /* visited link */
    a:hover {background-color:#FF704D;}   /* mouse over link */
    a:active {background-color:#FF704D;}  /* selected link */
    </style>
    Again, they work correctly in FireFox but not Safari.

  • Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

    Hi,
    My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
    Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
    Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

    There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above.<br />
    All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

  • Visited iPad 3 search links don't change color in Safari

    The iPad 3 (iOS 5.1) Safari search links returned from a Yahoo or a Google search don't change color after visiting them like they do on the iMac. Is this a known behavior?

    Choose Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset All Settings.

  • Visited links don't change color

    Something I've done in the past 48 hours has caused Safari to not change color for visited links (this is still working fine on FireFox). I tried creating another user account and it works fine with that...just not with my account.
    I've done all the typical things...repaired permissions, repaired disk, completely reset Safari to default and made sure all caches, etc. were cleaned out...both manually and with Onyx, reset associated .plist files.....nothing helps.
    The only thing I've added to the machine is WebKit, but I tried uninstalling that as well, cleaning out all its associated files...but that didn't work. Returning to a Google search page still shows all links as blue.
    Any ideas? I really don't want to do a complete reinstall...I just spend a week getting this new MacBook the way I want it and I have a lot of apps on it.
    Thanks!
    Larry

    Thanks, Dimaxum...I've already read this thread, and every other thread about the subject on the internet. I am totally convinced this is a Safari issue because the links have always changed color for me using FireFox...always.
    I'm sure there could be other situations where something else caused this problem and it was apparent on both browsers, but not in my case.
    On my wife's Mac this is not a problem on Safari...it's something in my User folder causing it. For now I've just made FireFox the default browser and I'll keep searching. Or the next time I wipe my hard drive and rebuild everything (I do this every six months or so...old Windows habit that isn't necessary) I'm sure it will work fine then.
    I was at the Apple store yesterday and tried several Macs there...they all worked fine. This is just somethiing on my machine.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Some visited links don't change color

    on some of my hyperlinks (that go to other pages in the same
    file) don't change color after they've been visited... example:
    they start out regular "hyperlink" blue... then after visiting they
    should change (e.g., to purple) but they don't.
    I read in the knowledge base that for popups, the color WON'T
    change because of a javascript issue... however, the "non changing"
    links are not always for pop ups... as stated above.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks...

  • Once I have clicked a video the colour of the link no longer changes to let me know I have watched that video; why?

    once I have clicked a video, the colour of the link no longer changes to let me know I have watched that video; why?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why do eBay item listings no longer change colors after being viewed?

    Need some help with a problem – in the past, when I opened a specific listing on eBay, it changed color from blue to red when I got back out of the listing. As of late, they do not change and remain blue. As I do 20-30 music title searches daily, the color change was a real time saver as I could tell immediately when I had begun yesterday’s search as it was now red. Without the color change, I have to pay much more attention and invariably end up searching beyond that point until I realize it. Do you have any idea how I can get back to the color change? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    I've seen more posts from people that also have this issue with visited links while using the Back button, so this behavior may be a regression and caused by using the cache more aggressively.
    Does opening the link in a new tab work to show the visited state of links?

  • Searched links don't change color

    Links I've already searched (inGoogle) used to change color. They no longer do.

    No it wouldn't. It would mean any text inside a
    class='Accordian' would be
    blue, as would all links on the page. Surely you meant -
    .Accordian a { color:blue; }

  • Visited links will not change color in FF 9

    Just upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1. When I click on a hyperlink, the color of the anchor text does not change. It remains the default blue rather than changing to purple, even though the settings in options>content>colors indicate that the color of the link should change.
    Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

  • Change color on visited links

    Firefox 35.0.01
    Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 32.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
    I recently did a "refresh" (?) on Firefox and my visited links are no longer changing color. I've gone to Options - Content - Fonts & Colors - Colors... and the Link Colors option looks okay but when I click on a link it doesn't change color to indicate that it's been visited.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

    You can also check the layout.css.visited_links_enabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure it has the default value.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
