My 'clear history button is not working. When I click on it it doesn't do anything and the letters are gray instead of blue like usual. I've gone to every type of settings I can think of but I don't know how to fix it. Please help .
iPod touch, iOS 7.1
There is no private browsing button for me to tap. I followed the directions off of the link you gave me and there was nothing on my iPod to tap..

It sounds like yo have private browsing turned on. If so then no History is kept and thus nothng to clear. See:
Are any Restrictions set? Settings>General>Restrictions
No, there are no restrictions set.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Would resetting my settings affect my preference to block cookies or my locations and privacy?
I sucked it up and reset my settings and it worked like a charm! Thank you for all of your help I really appreciate it!
After I updated my phone with the lates IOS, the clear history button and private browsing button were disabled. I wasn't able to clear it under the Safari settings either. The only thing that worked for me was to go under settings, then to general settings, and on to the restrictions to disable all restrictions. And finally, the clear browsing history button was enabled. Once that was done, I tried enabling restrictions again to see if the button would be disabled. However, I was still able to clear the browsing history and select the private browsing option. This might work for some of you as well, whether you have restrictions enabled or not.
Thanks, it really helped me.
Is the picture going to be lost when you reset all the setting??
disable ur restrictions in settings n it will work... Disable All Restrictions
Settings > Restrictions > Disable All restrictions
This is the solution.thanks
