  • Why is my history blank even though I have 'remember history' turned on in the preferences

    Why is my history blank even though I have 'remember history' turned on in the privacy tab in the preferences. I use a mini mac, Mac OS X 10.6 and Firefox 6.0.2

    Same problem here. I have Firefox on several machines and OS (XP and Ubuntu [edit: Win 7 too]). However, the bookmarks file is the same in each.
    None of the location bars suggest (autocomplete) features work now. I tried deleting the places.sqlite (bookmarks) file and the bar began working again, but all my bookmarks had lost their "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon favicons]". When I replaced that places.sqlite file with my original (including the favicons) the location bar again ceased working.
    I highly doubt that the upgrade to 3.6.11 would corrupt every places.sqlite file I have on multiple computers. That leads me to believe that there is some kind of bug in 3.6.11 that messes up the location bar (especially if your bookmarks contain favicons). Hope some kind of patch can be found.
    Edit: Just updated Firefox on Windows 7 with same results. I even backed up the places.sqlite (so it could not be corrupted) file before updating then used the backup file when the location bar failed to work. Even restoring with the backup file didn't work - again, this can not be due to a corruption issue.
    Finally, I noticed that one (only one) of the autocomplete bookmarks I had selected prior to updating FF in Ubuntu was actually retained. Is there some other file where autocomplete data is held? I wish I knew why that one bookmark is still able autocomplete while all the others will not (note: this is only in the Ubuntu install all other FF installs (in XP/Win7) bookmarks will not autocomplete.

  • Why is my history blank?

    My history has stopped working, and no longer shows or keeps the sites I have seen in either the recent history or show all history and stays blank. The address bar is unaffected though. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

    You might have a damaged Places.sqlite file which stores the bookmarks and history. Try [[Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]] and then removing Places.sqlite from your profile folder.

  • Safari history limited to 100000 items

    Why is Safari history limited to 100000 items although set to be removed manually? Is it a bug?
    This happens in Safari 6.0.1 (8536.26.14) and OS X 10.8.2 but also happened in 10.7 — but it didn’t AFAIR prior to 10.5.

    I have done a bit of digging and contributor LeonieDF has come up with this:
    How about this:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2008/09/04/terminal-tips-change-safaris-history-limit/
    Limit to number of items:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryItemLimit 2000
    Limit to number of days:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit 30
    It has been tested and does not balk at 200,000.
    So you could try setting it at 1,000,000! Post back in a few years to tell us if it worked!

  • Screenshots in cover flow of Safari history are empty. Why? Who knows?

    Screenshots in cover flow of Safari history are empty. Whereas all history is visible. Why? Who knows?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Why is my iphone 5 safari history found in another person's iphone 5?

    Both my mom and I uses Iphone 5. I had let her login to my itunes in her phone to let her download stuff and I didnt log out of it but i don't use iCloud either. So today, my mom asked me to help her search some things on the internet and passed me her phone. i was surprised to see all my current history in her phone. I tried deleting the history but it was still there. the only way i managed to get rid of it was to delete the cache. It was really surprising as she had the phone for 3 months and I am afraid that she might have actually seen some personal history in my phone. She is an IT idiot, so i doubted that she had actually planted a bug onto my phone to spy on me. I believe it was something to do with the itunes account but could not verify anything. Has anybody encountered this before? I am not sure if logging out of itunes on my phone will break the connection, i do hope that somebody can help me fix this. thank you.

    You're both using the same Apple ID for iCloud, & one of the things you can keep in sync is Safari history/tabs on all of the devices that use the same Apple ID for iCloud. Read here:

  • Safari "History" missing for past three days ?

    I was  on Safari "History" trying to find some sites I visited on Nov. 30 - Dec.2 and none of that info shows up on "History".  I restarted the computer and now have History from  the past few sites I just visited., but a totaly blank for the past three days and this mroning.  Does anyone have a clue why a few days are missing ?  I'm running OS 10.6.8.
    BTW... I keep trying to edit my "Products" to reflect updated OS below, and all it will let me do is "add" products ??
    Thanks.... Carolyn

    EDIT:.... I neglected to mention that I have all "History " showing  prior to Nov.30.  All that is missing is the three days from Nov 30 through Dec. 2.  
    Sorry for this omission if it is important.   BTW... this is not a BIG DEAL.  I am just baffled as to why three days would suddenly disappear ?
    Thanks... Carolyn

  • Stupid Question? - Safari History

    For some reason the dates in my Safari history are incorrect. i.e. Today is Sunday, June 1st, but when I go to access History from the toolbar, it lists yesterday as Friday, May 30....so dates in History are off by one day. However, my system time & date is set correctly.
    Probably a stupid question, but any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    I can't find the word "yesterday" on my History menu. Where do you see that?
    For me it shows "Earlier Today" then it starts showing the dates underneath that.
    Of course, I didn't use Safari yesterday, so that might be why.

  • Safari History

    Why can't I clear my Safari history?  I see the two options: Clear Cookies and Clear History--and I don't have a problem clearing cookies--but "history" is light in color and nothing happens when I select it.

    Look at the very bottom of the History menu option.

  • Why does safari show the last used page when the Ipad is turned on again

    Why does Safari show the last used page when the IPad is next used?

  • Why is safari opening spam?

    iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1 (11D201)
    I have just cleared the browsing data, the cookies, and history of safari on my phone.  After going to m.huffipost.com, after the page loaded a new page loaded and it was a **** page!  Why is Safari opening other pages when I am not even touching the screen?  I have even had other spam pages open while I was on my banks website.

    What are you talking about?  No reputable company would do this, which is why you have some scumbags out there looking to make a quick buck.  They're the ones doing it.  It's certainly not Apple.  As I said..someone probalby hacked the wifi router you're attached to.
    Any bets apple?

  • Why does safari close constantly on ipad1?

    why does safari close constantly on ipad1

    Could be any one of many things.  Try these...
    Clearing Safari's history, cookies, cache
    Reset the iPad... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Shut down and restart the app...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the offending app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the app

  • Safari history sync

    HI
    i found on my iPhone 4s , on safari history many adult sites saved in the history that I didn't recognize , I've never visited any of these sites , no one has an access to my phone , but I shared my Apple ID with someone , so could he browsing these sites and his safari history is shared on my mobile , I know that safari does not share history on your devices so what's the reasonable answer to this

    I didn't say that you felt my story was unreasonable. And why would erasing the history not be a solution to getting rid of the history. Or are you not looking for that, but rather looking for how it got there? Someone, had to have visited the sites on the device.

  • Is there a relatively easy way to view deleted safari history or pages viewed for an iphone? Browser has been cleared, cookies have been cleared, but I'm wondering if the information is still accessible in my phone somehow?

    As I say, internet has been cleared, and under settings, the advanced cookies & history has also been cleared. Is there an easy way of viewing this info again?
    Also, the "private browsing" option, is there a way of disabling it or at least having that option password protected?
    And what is "web inspector"? Is that something that I can set up on my pc that will monitor iphone activity?
    Thanks!

    Just wondered if there was another way?
    If doing a restore is the only way, would someone be able to tell me how to do it and whether or not I will have a heck of a time getting all my info & apps back onto my phone afterwards?
    Thanks!
    How does this relate to your first post?
    Are you talking about restoring as new? or restoring to a backup?
    Why are you restoring?
    If it is to recover History  and you think that you have a backup that contains the missing history you could restore to that. Doing this will restore your iPad to the state that it was in at the time of the backup, Apps, Games, etc.
    Note that there are PC and Mac applicatons that can read iPad backup files and extract information. Check the internet for these. I do no know if they extract Safari History.

  • Tell me please why? Safari it so much memory!

    Hello.
    Tell me please why? Safari it so much memory!
    I have opened only one page.
    And problem with google search. Some time when I write text Safari is lags and crashes!
    I had cleaned cookie and history!
    Thank you!
    OS X 10.8.4
    Safari 6.0.5
    Best regards!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
