Auto-fill/password data deleted following Safari crash

So, I've been having a seriously large amount of problems with Safari crashing over the past few months. Usually it just shows the spinning wheel of death, sometimes it just automatically reloads every page/tab I have open (if anyone can suggest a fix for that it would be great).
However, this time it crashed and it appears to have completely wiped out all of my auto-fill/password data that I had saved. As this is a personal computer and nobody else uses it, I had a lot of passwords saved into it (most of them for low security risk sites). As everybody knows, a user often has hundreds of usernames/paswords for a huge number of websites. I can't remember them!
I'm concluding that as they've all been deleted, I'm going to have to go through the arduous process of clicking the 'forgotten username/password' to retrieve these details; however, now whenever I try to save back in the auto-fill, it's not really working too well and just isn't saving it, despite me choosing for auto-fill to be operational on the website.
Any help would be massively appreciated to sort this, as having to keep entering my usernames/passwords - urgh, let's just say this is the biggest first world problem since before bread was sliced!!
Safari version 5.1.10
Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

Passwords are stored in Keychain Access located in Applications > Utlities
Launch Keychain Access then select Passwords on the left.
Type in the name of a website you've visited that autofilled the password.
Then double click the website name the select the Attributes tab then click: Show password
You may be prompted for your admin password to proceed.
If you want a website to re remember the password, right or control click the website name in Keychain Access the click Delete.
The next time you login to that site and enter your password you should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain.

How to Transfer Safari Auto-Fill Passwords to Chrome

How do you transfer all of your saved auto-fill passwords from Safari into Chrome?
It won't let me do it in Preferences/Personal Stuff/Browsing Data
The box "saved passwords" is grayed out and it won't let me select it!
Thanks in advance for any help!
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE I AM RUNNING:
2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

OS 10.6.7

The box "saved passwords" is grayed out and it won't let me select it!
Are you referring to: Manage Saved Passwords ??
Your passwords are stored in Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux; Settings on Chrome OS).
Click the Personal Stuff tab.
Adjust your password settings in the "Passwords" section:
Select "Offer to save passwords" if you want Google Chrome to prompt you to save your password every time you sign in to a new website.
Otherwise, select "Never save passwords" if you don't want Google Chrome to ever save your passwords.

Script to auto-fill password?

Any idea if there's a script I could use to auto-fill password in the ultra-annoying username/password prompt?
I asked Apple if I could circumvent this and they said no.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Passwords
and delete the password(s) for the site in question, after making a note of them. The next time you log in to the site, save the password in the keychain. Test.

2013 Safari not auto filling password

Safari suddenly stopped auto filling userids and passwords. I rechecked all of my "Auto Fill" preferences and they are fine. It also is now saying that the password is changed and do I want to save the new one. If I say Not Now I get signed in so perhaps the password keychain is corrupted; but, if I do say to save it, then the next time I sign in it still doesn't work. Seems like Apple released a revision without testing everything. Isn't that Microsoft's trick?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Auto fill passwords is no go

I know this has been discussed a billion times but I can't get in any answers by reading the old posts. Since I'm brand new to Mac this "key chain" deal is just about the most dumbest thing I have ever seen (can you tell I'm ******) lol
I have been a PC user for years. I could type one password in Norton Identy Safe and the computer automatically logged in to pay my bills, forums, and online banking, everything....not with a Mac!!???
I use strong passwords in which they are difficult to type much less remember.
I have brand new MBP 13" with Lion 10.7.4 and have tried keychains, auto fill is "on", etc....
I manually build keychains and they will not work.
It was doing good at first by asking would I like to remember passwords, username, but it quit. I mean it actually autofilled there for a short period of time but "poof" its gone now. Everything is still there in keychains...just not working.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

I've got the same problem. Migration Assistant moved everything else over okay, but for some reason Safari can't connect to all the usernames and passwords that are stored in the Keychain. iChat could and NetNewsWire could... but the AutoFill stuff just isn't working. And I'm looking at all of them in Keychain Access right now!

How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
- Michael

Hi M. Krebs,
Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Best,
Sara

Safari auto-fill passwords gone?

Just got a new MacBook Pro 2ghz on Tuesday. Used the migration assistant and all appeared well with one exception: Safari has lost my saved usernames and passwords. I had about 150 from my old machine (which are still there), but they did not migrate to the new laptop. The list in Safari only shows the usernames, so I cannot use it to re-enter the information.
The real problem is that I cannot figure out what settings/preferences to copy over to remedy the problem. I have tried moving the forms pref (in the Safari folder in the prefs folder in the user folder), no dice. My keychain looks like it was transferred fine, but there are several passwords not saved there (?) or so it seems.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I have access info to hundreds of sites that I need to get. By the way, bookmarks, icons, etc, all transferred fine.
Thanks,

Auto-fill passwords doesn't work anymore...

Something funny has started happening - up till recently when i went to a website that requires a Username/Password Safari would automatically fill the fields in. (I'm the only user in the house so it's OK!)
But now, it seems to have stopped. So I have to open Keychain Access and look up the password and fill it in manually which is a right pain!! What might I have done to stop Passwords being automatically filled in, or what can I do to restore it?
Thanks in advance!
Andy

Note that there is a delay before the screen will lock. Try waiting a few moments after the screen saver kicks in especially if you're activating with the mouse corners.
If that doesn't work, I'd try trashing the com.apple.security and com.apple.dock plists. Those are the only ones I think could be related to this feature. You could also make a new user account and see if the problem occurs there.

Calling report with auto-filling the date parameter

Hi all,
I need to schedule a report whereby the date is need to be entered manually by the user.
Now, if I need to schedule this report, how am I tell this report on the date parameter I want to fix in the 1st day of a month. So that the report will be generated based on the schedule time say every 1st day of the month and in the report date parameter as well it will automatically filled up the date. How to do that in details ?
Any advise will be appreciated.
Rgds
Lim

Hi!
For a scheduled task I would just called your report in a way similar to this:
rwrun60.exe ... paramform=no p_date=sysdate
where p_date is a date parameter created in the report. Take a look at the online help article "RWRUN60 Command Line Arguments" for more information.

Timesheet entry form that auto-fills the Date ranges?

I currently have a ColdFusion form & need to add a "Week Selector" drop-down above my table so that:
- when the week is chosen from the drop-down, (how do I generate these weeks drop-down values?)
- the correct dates are added to the date fields in the form.. (how do I populate the text boxes?)
- Once the user chooses the week, the Sun-Sat dates update, he then enters his time for each day..
--Choose Week-->Nov 3 thru Nov 9<-- (drop-down)
Sun---Mon---Tue---Wed---Thu---Fri---Sat (static labels)
11/03 11/04 11/05 11/06 11/07 11/08 11/09 (text boxes for dynamic dates)
0 8 8 8 8 8 (text boxes for hours entry)
Here is a sample picture of what I'm trying to roughly duplicate:
Note: This UDF post by Ben Nadel looks promising: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/719-Ask-Ben-Getting-The-Date-Based-On-The-Year-And-Week-In-Co ldFusion.htm

Ok, here is my current page so far:
- Using this jq weekly calendar: http://jsfiddle.net/manishma/AVZJh/light/ I'm able to select the week and have it update my "Start thru End" dates text boxes.
- But how do I update the javascript (code below) to also "populate" the weekday column headings (highlighted in yellow) with the mm/dd?
- Lastly, I'm not sure how to do the SQL INSERT across three rows of data (highlighted in yellow)?
Here is my updated code to fill in the labels with the dates:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var startDate;
var endDate;
var monDate;
var tueDate;
var wedDate;
var thuDate;
var friDate;
var satDate;
var sunDate;
var selectCurrentWeek = function() {
    window.setTimeout(function () {
        $('.week-picker').find('.ui-datepicker-current-day a').addClass('ui-state-active')
    }, 1);
$('.week-picker').datepicker( {
    showOtherMonths: true,
    selectOtherMonths: true,
    dateFormat: "mm/dd",
    firstDay: 1, // Start with Monday
    onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
        var date = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
        startDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 1);
        endDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 7);
        monDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 1);
        tueDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 2);
        wedDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 3);
        thuDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 4);
        friDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 5);
        satDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 6);
        sunDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 7);
        var dateFormat = inst.settings.dateFormat || $.datepicker._defaults.dateFormat;
        $('#startDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, startDate, inst.settings ));
        $('#endDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, endDate, inst.settings ));
        $('#monDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, monDate, inst.settings ));
        $('#tueDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, tueDate, inst.settings ));
        $('#wedDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, wedDate, inst.settings ));
        $('#thuDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, thuDate, inst.settings ));
        $('#friDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, friDate, inst.settings ));
        $('#satDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, satDate, inst.settings ));
        $('#sunDate').val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, sunDate, inst.settings ));
        selectCurrentWeek();
    beforeShowDay: function(date) {
        var cssClass = '';
        if(date >= startDate && date <= endDate)
            cssClass = 'ui-datepicker-current-day';
        return [true, cssClass];
    onChangeMonthYear: function(year, month, inst) {
        selectCurrentWeek();
$('.week-picker .ui-datepicker-calendar tr').live('mousemove', function() { $(this).find('td a').addClass('ui-state-hover'); });
$('.week-picker .ui-datepicker-calendar tr').live('mouseleave', function() { $(this).find('td a').removeClass('ui-state-hover'); });
</script>
And then in my HTML page I used:

    <input disabled id="monDate" size="5" data-mini="true"></th>
<th>Tue<br>
    <input disabled id="tueDate" size="5" data-mini="true"></th>

    <input disabled id="friDate" size="5" data-mini="true"></th>

<th>Sun<br>
    <input disabled id="sunDate" size="5" data-mini="true"></th>
<th>Totals</th>

Lost Auto-Fill password

I recently logged in to a website and it told me my password expired. It then took me to another screen where I entered a new password and told Safari to remember it.
Unbeknownst to me, what this last screen really wanted was my pre-existing password, not the new one I wanted to select. But now the original password is no longer visible in Keychain Access (that is, I changed it in Safari but not on the website). Is there any way that I can revert this change? For example, does Keychain Access keep a backup of earlier stored passwords?

What version of OS X are you running?

Auto fill system date

I'd like to be able to have the system date (YYYY MM DD format) automatically fill in a date field.
Also this data should stay fixed if the PDF is saved. For example, the user fills in the form and saves a copy with the system date of that day. However when the user re-opens the PDF next week the original system date should still be there (not replaced by the current system date).
Can any provide me with the code to do this? Thanks.

Bet,
The javascript that you will need is:
if (DateTimeField1.rawValue == null)
Now = new Date();
DateTimeField1.rawValue = Now.getYear()+1900 + "/" +(Now.getMonth()+1) + "/" + Now.getDate();
Note: The DateTimeField1 has to be readonly type. This will prevent the users from modify the value in this field.

I like to have firefox 3.6.13 for Mac (OS X 10.6) to auto fill url exactly the way safari does it. Is there any way to get this done?

It's really annoying that in firefox you need to type two letters, then go down using the arrow and then hit enter.
In safari it's easy: you type two letters and the url and just hit enter.

Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version that works on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

Auto-fill calender date and validate other fields depending upon selected date for infopath forms

Do you have Excel Services? if so, this article may be of use to you:
http://sergioblogs.blog.co.uk/2013/01/08/infopath-2010-and-excel-services-in-sharepoint-15407321/
You can configure an excel workbook to validate if a date is a working day and then use formulas to workout the working date for 5 days after the date you enter, then link your InfoPath form to connect to the excel workbook and return the result of your
calculation.
