I think you need to be more specific in order for me to understand your problem. The default behaviour of the bash terminal is to save the history of the last closed terminal, and any new terminal will start with this history, which is saved in the file ~/.bash_history. This means that if you have two or three terminals open, and close them, only the history of the final closed terminal is kept. Is this what you are experiencing? Another issue could be that the file ~/.bash_history is not writeable by you (e.g. it's owned by root instead).
