I have a Mac Book back from 2007 with no software updates and I was wondering how I delete my cookies? I see everywhere that you go to Safari-Pref-Securities....but I don't have Securities under my Preferences.

Hello,



I have a Mac Book back from 2007 with no software updates and I was wondering how I delete my cookies? I see everywhere that you go to Safari-Pref-Securities....but I don't have Securities under my Preferences.


Is there any other way?

Hi Phil...


Sounds like your Safari preferences are corrupted.



Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.


Quit then relaunch Safari. Check Safari > Preferences. If you see Security in the menu, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.


If that didn't help, try reinstalling Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger


And there is a work around for deleting all cookies.


Go to ~/Library/Cookies


Move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
