    Question Cannot clear history

    Does anyone know how to do this? I have attempted to clear history, cache and cookies through settings as well as clearing history through Safari. Nothing seems to work even after all that plus rebooting. Anyone?
    Thanks v

    Clearing history from settings or the bookmarks bar does not clear previously viewed urls from open "pages." To clear previously viewed urls, click the double square pages icon in the Safari bar on the iPad and delete all currently populated pages until only a "new page" holder remains.

    Yeah but it doesn't clear list of previously viewed url from the pull down Window.

    Try to type url address starting by typing "http" , and a pull down windows will pop up with list of previously viewed url. How do I clear this.

    Clearing History

    Arga,
    Closing any open pages in Safari is in addition to going into the iPad Settings App>Safari> and clicking on Clear History. Simply closing the pages won't clear the history, it is just a step you have to perform BEFORE clearing the history from the settings app. What happens is that if you still have an open page in Safari that you have used and have history in, Safari will not clear the history for the currently open page that you've been using to browse. Remember, Safari allows you to have up to 8 open browsing pages, each with their own histories, so if any are still open, Safari will not clear their histories from the Settings App entry for Safari.
