Same here. only the RECENT history but not the COMPLETE history, as I have 3 or 4 that stay permantly, when I do a Google seach. I don't THINK reset on the ipad 2 has anything to do with it. Or does it?

Margi, Try to clear it again and reboot your device.

My Ipad 2 does not have the selection to clear cache. It has the selection to clear history and clear cookies but not cache. How do I get it back?

Mike Lump - Depending on the iOS version you are running, you may not get the Cache option, instead you will get Remove website data option.

Thanks, I found it but it didn't work. My problem is I have a username and password that is not working so I cannot logout to put in the new username and password. Even after removing website data it still shows me logged in when I go to the website. Any suggestions?
