Re: Safari 4.0 Beta losses all history! i don't think its possible to recover your history, unless you're doing regular backups. you might want to try viewing your cookies, you might find something to salvage Go to Safari > Preferences > Security > Show Cookies
I know the feeling. Last night, when I used Safari to work, I found out that my history, links, etc, from the past few months of school was gone. It's not a life-and-death situation, but it's still a hassle to re-build that history. I was wondering why, then I realized that maybe the v4.0b of Safari isn't that stable yet.
Would the separate bookmark folders be affected by this? or is it just the history? If so how can you create backups of the bookmark folders? TIA
So far, my old bookmarks (those from version 3 of Safari) are still intact. Other than the more frequent appearance of the colorful pinwheel and the erased history, v4.0 beta's working well.
my bookmarks are still alive... history lang wiped out... really odd... have downgraded na to Safari 3 a few days after my post
hey this is quite late, but in the future, you can backup your history list by backing up this file, history.plist Open Finder, go to <Home>/Library/Safari, there you will find history.plist if you've deleted it, i have no idea right now how to recover it
