OS X Yosemite :: How To Delete History And Bookmarks On IMac
Dec 2, 2014
On the iPad, I could use Settings to delete history, but there s no such function on iMac. How do I delete bookmarks and Top Hits and history altogether?
I'm running Safari 4.1.3 under Tiger 10.4.11. (Machine specs below.)Â
Selecting either Show All Bookmarks or Show All History brings up only totally blank tabs labeled bookmarks:// in both cases, not the familiar window where one can organize and edit Bookmarks and view and search History.
Have already repeatedly trashed the Bookmarks.plist and the History.plist, as well as com.apple.Safari.plist in my user Library. (There are corresponding files in my root level Library. Also Repaired Permissions and Verified disk.Â
My default browser is Firefox, but I like to use Safari occasionally in a couple of sites.

I was under the impression that downloading Safari to my desktop would allow me accessibility to my iphone's bookmarks, pages currently visiting and history. I don't seem to be able to find the way to do this. Am I missing something? Can you sync the iphone's safari info to the desktop's?
I found this in archives, but it did not help. I want to delete history. I have FF set to delete history after zero days, and I can "clear private data", but when I start to type in the browser window history pages appear in a drop-down. I unchecked the FF box for storing things I typed in boxes. If I go to "tools" I get > Web search, Downloads, Add on's, error console, page info, clear private data.Preferences is under "firefox" tab.I say all that cause the forums all say look under "tools" for "clear History".It's not there. There is no specific "clear history".The "clear private data" is not clearing out everything, just the stuff in the history viewer, but that is not there anyway as it stores for zero days.
Today I installed OS X 10.10.1 on a new drive (Mail 8.1). How can I import my Mail accounts and my whole history of emails from my old 10.8.4 drive (Mail 6.5)?
I have a MacBook Pro with the latest update of Yosemite installed, an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.1, an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1 and other things seem to be syncing like my bookmarks, reading list, and all other iCloud data as well as iMessages and text messages. But the one thing that does not seem to be syncing is my browsing history in Safari.
I've tried going into iCloud settings on all three devices and turning off Safari sync and then turning it back on but no luck.

Tools > Clear Private Data > Select All, only seems to delete everything back to a certain date. So when I start to type Google in the address bar, I get some stupid old Google search from a few months back. It happens with some other older sites too.What can I do to erase all my history? I'm not covering my tracks or anything, just have some annoying things pop up in the address bar that aren't relevant.
Lets say I have a friend / family member and I occasionally allow them to use the delights of Safari and OS X. Now, I don't want replies stating if you don't trust them don't allow them but, is it all possible to have users not clear the history of sites they may have been browsing?
Every time I go on yahoo answers and look up something all my questions pop up. How do I get rid of them? I already went to "history" and clicked "clear history" but it still stays on yahoo answers.
I deleted a user account off of my mac book pro but a folder keeps popping up on my desktop with the name of the account. I delete it and it comes back. How can I totally delete this account?
I have a program that was backed up using Time Machine and I was wondering if I could delete the program from my Back Up history with out having to start a band new back up of every thing.
Somehow bookmarks in one of my Safari bookmark folders got deleted in the course of attempting to move the folder. When I go into time machine to restore an earlier version of my book marks time machine does not display the contents of the caches folder where I understand the Safari bookmarks are kept, i.e. ~/library/caches/metadata/safari/bookmarks..Â
Is there a way to get time machine to display contents of the caches and metadata folders? If not, is there another way to restore an earlier version of my Safari bookmarks? I have separate backups on external drives in addition to the time machine backup.Â
I have opened the Bookmark Icon. I see individual bookmarks on the left side of my computer screen. There isn't anything on the right side of my screen so how do I remove my Bookmarks?
