Title: Safari Beta 2 History
Post by: Catrina on May 11, 2003, 02:28:17 AM
Hi everyone! biggrin.gif

Ever since I upgraded to the latest Safari (Beta 2), my history has stopped working.  I've tried killing the pref files (home/Library/Safari) but nothing seems to get the History working again.  I can't seem to find anything in the Safari preferences that might relate to this either.  Am I missing something simple here?  (It's happened before! blush-anim-cl.gif)  Any ideas on how to get it working again?

Thanks bunches,

Catrina

The beta still has some kinks in it for sure.
Have you tried trashing Safari (backup your bookmarks first),& then reinstalling a fresh copy.
Bookmarks are located Users/Library/Safari.
Sometimes that'll do the trick.  HTH

I tried removing everything as you suggested.  I did a search for everything with "safari" in it and trashed them all.  (Really just 2 folders and a plist file.)  Then I installed a fresh version.  The history still doesn't work.  Although I did notice that when I dropped by techsurvivors.net using the newly installed Safari it logged me in automatically.  There must be some pref files (for cookies etc) that I missed trashing initially.  

I also tried the new reset option (in the Safari menu) and still no luck.  It seems that the history plist file isn't ever being created in the Safari folder.  I checked on one my other machines that has an older version of Safari.  On my machine the history works as long as the app is running.  But as soon as I quit, poof no more history.  I guess I'll have to wait till the next version before the History works again.  Oh well...   smile.gif

Thanks anyway!

PS:  Does the history work for anyone else using the latest beta?

That is odd that you don't have a history.plist in your Safari folder.
I just checked my Safari folder in User's/Library & it's there.
I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination so the next stop I'd make if I were you would be the OS X discussions board. Look for the Safari discussions at the top of that page.
