What is "local storage" in Safari 5.1.7

Why is it in Safari 5.1.7 that it always takes a couple of reset Safari's to actually clear out local storage? Everything else always clears out, just local storage will pop back in ...

Might be the security fixes >  Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard

  • How does one clear the Local Storage in Safari 6.0?

    I used to be able to delete the cookies in the Local Stiorage folder.  But the old path ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage doesn't exist anymore since the system got updated to OSX 10.7.4 and Safari 6.0.  And as ever emptying the cache via the develop drop-down menue doesn't clear the cookies stored in Local Storage.
    I am totally at loss, where these cookies are hiding in my system but really want to get rid of them.  Firefox is an alternative but it is tiresome to use this browser as it keeps on blocking things I want to do or asking me a little bit too frequently for permission etc.  Can anyone explain the Local Storage issue to me please?

    hpr3, thanks for your response but you didn't read my post correctly.  I am not referring to 'normal' cookies.  The ones which are stored under the section Local Storage are special and survive the general 'clear all website data' action via Safari's preferences.  I know several people have pointed this out before me.  I was able to clear these cookies in the Local Storage folder before but it was always quite a lot of 'clicking through' to be done and one had to go through the Finder via user/library/safari/local storage etc.  I recall there was a folder involved named Macromedia as well.   But with the upgrade of the operating system and Safari this path doesn't exist anymore.
    If you clear the cookies via preferences, then click out of Privacy and back in, you might notice that even though you haven't used your web browser at all, there are still cookies which magically re-appear. And they are tagged as Local Storage.
    Now, can anyone else come up with a helpful answer?

  • Do i need to clean up local storage under safari

    do i need to clean up local storage that is found
    under safari

    No. You do not need to clean up anything.
    If you wish, you can empty caches.
    Empty Caches
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    Best.

  • What is local storage? Why can't I get this app?

    So I'm trying to get the sims free play app on my ipod4g. It requires 569MB. So I click download and it says I do not have enough local storage. Which I clear do cause I just deleted almost everything off my iPod. I have 1.0GB of free storage left. I don't get it??? Why can't I get the app???

    You do NOT have enough space.  Most apps require 2 or 3 thimes the space required in order to install the app.
    You will need 1.2 - 1.8 gb or so free

    5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie.  Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with.  The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad.  You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

  • Safari 5.1.7 local storage not always clearing upon reset

    There are several threads through out this forum regarding cookies being accepted regardless of settings, but much of those seem to be fixed by one of the recent security updates (seperate from an actual Safari update), including fixed for me. But, have noticed that "local storage" items do not always clear out upon a reset of safari (all boxes checked). In fact, sometimes, it takes two or three resets to completely clear them out.  I have verified this behavior on several mac's running SL each yeilding the same.  I just wondered if anyone else has seen this, or has found a solution (or if this is expected behavoiur). Does this indicate a security threat within the browser?  I have used the feedback to Apple to report this.
    I did find this explanation, however:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/iphone/conceptual/safa rijsdatabaseguide/Name-ValueStorage/Name-ValueStorage.html

    BDAqua,
    Nope. It's very erratic. For example, just now I cycled several times between the inbox and the smart mailbox and even closed and re-opened. The inbox showed messages. Then I quit mail and re-opened, the inbox was empty. It took a couple more cycles of quit and re-open to get an inbox display. But as soon as I got it back on, and then closed or changed mailboxes, it disappeared when I went back to the inbox.
    Hellofa way to run a railroad.
    And just for reference, when I first had this issue last week under 10.6.8, I read several posts on this forum wherein other users had problems with the inbox display. Other than the smart mailbox "fix", I never did find a definitive solution or explanation as to why it is occuring.

  • What is the definition of cookies, cache, and local storage?

    Hello all, my first post but I've been Mac'd for about two years now. 
    My question is, how do cookies, cache, and local storage function, and other than where they're stored, what makes them different.

    Thanks Sig, actualy I brushed up on the definitions prior to posting the question. Was hoping for more of a dialog on the subject as it seems there is some confusion. At least my conversasion with Support would suggest. So I'm curious what other members of the Apple community have to say.
    Local Storage are flash cookies yet I was told not to be concerned as I am blocking cookies just fine. So are we talking hot dogs or franks?...  

  • What does "local" mean in relationship to icloud storage

    yes, I use time machine that came with my mac bk pro (purchased last Sept 2012) -Seagate is the 1T portable back up Plus unit --- I honestly don't know how my calendar and my contacts got into the cloud as I do not have any other "apple products" .

  • When i try to download an app (Fifa 13) it says there is not enough available local storage to download "fifa 13 by ea sports". what do i do

    when i try to download an app (Fifa 13) it says there is not enough available local storage to download "fifa 13 by ea sports". what do i do?

    What size ??GB is the download file? How much free storage space do you have?
    The ??GB is the download file compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
     Cheers, Tom

  • What do i do if the local storage is full

    I'm trying to download an app but it says "There is not enough available local storage to download (name of app here). you can manage your local device storage using in settings". After i go to the storage section i do not know what to do?!

    To download/install an app on the iPod requires that there be available storage equal to between two and three times the file download size.
    Thus, you will have to delete items from the iPod to get the necessary available storage. You can delete apps and other items in the storage section.

  • I'm trying to download FIFA 13 update from App Store. I have over 3G of local storage, the update is around 1Gb but it says I don't have enough local storage to download. What's the problem??

    I'm trying to download an update for FIFA 13 for my iPhone. My storage says I have around 3.2Gb of local storage space available. The update is 1Gb but when I try to download it, it says I don't have enough space. Why is this happening?

    Becasue you do not have enough space available.
    It can take much more space that the size of the app to install.
    Update on your compter, then sync, if you do not want to create more space

    I am having trouble downloading apps onto my iPad2.  When I try a message appears " not enough local storage this can be managed in settings.". I ave tried by deleting unused apps, but the same message appears.  How can I resolve this ?  Help needed pleas.

    Try rebooting the iPad as well. You might be getting an inaccurate reading and rebooting might clear that up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Local Storage on IPad and Iphone is missing IOS7

    Hi,
    I have a Jquery Mobile app working fine in IOS6, upgrading to IO7 on the Ipad and Iphone the app is crashing when returning lists of data that previously worked. Our app works exclusivley with the local storage code in all modern browers allowing offline usage. Seems like the IOS7 upgrade is disrupting this somehow. I
    cannot see the Local Storage icon in the web developerm, I am expecting this.
    I can load around 40 list items into JqueryMobile, after that Safari crashes and the Wed Developer disappears. Any thoughts welcome.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

    /usr/ccs/bin/as: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 Compiler Common 6.2 Solaris_9_CBE 2001/04/02Note that the last 2 lines seem to suggest that a Sun assembler is used as the back-end of gcc. I am not sure whether the failure to compile the first file (with __thread) was due to the incompatibility of this Sun assembler. In the first case, the error msg was emitted before these 2 lines are printed.
    I further read a post about gcc 3.3.3's inability to compile code that has __thread in it, on a HP-UX 11.11: http://forums12.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1216595175060+28353475&threadId=1148976 The conclusion seems to suggest that "the 2.17 GNU assembler did not support thread local storage" and gcc sees that and thus disallows TLS.
    If the assembler is the culprit, then does anyone know whether this "Sun WorkShop 6 update 2" assembler in my installation can work with TLS? And how come a Sun assembler becomes the back-end of gcc? I read that gas (the GNU assembler) is the default backend of gcc. (How) can one specify the assembler to be used for gcc?
    As an aside, I am able to compile my file on this same Solaris 9/UltraSparc platform using the Sun Studio 12 C Compiler:
