Macbook forgot all passwords in keychain, date & time...be worried?

So I started up my macbook this morning, and, like the title says, it forgot all the passwords in my keychain (wireless, email, etc.) and it had Dec. 20, 2000 as the date. I fixed everything and nothing else seems out of place (Dashboard, files, all look the same), but I'm just wondering if this is something I should be worried about. I'm working on something important this week and I don't want my time machine backup files to be corrupted if there's something wrong here. Thanks!

I've unchecked the box labelled "Warn when visiting a fraudulent website" and restarted Safari many times. It doesn't crash all the time but the worst part of it all is the partial loading of web sites (which doesn't happen in Firefox). A web site will load half way and just "stall". Hit reload over and over and over and finally it goes. Resetting Safari and deleting the prefs file will sometimes solve this problem for a half a day or so and then the problem starts all over again.
Safari is saving some passwords but when a password dialog box comes up asking to store it in the keychain, the passwords won't store. Is there a keychain repair utility or a way of fixing the keychain if it is corrupted?
Thanks so much,
Gerard

Hi Krish1312,
That's odd that your date of birth shows incorrect. See if any of the steps in this article help. Follow it to the end.

I was trying to put my ichat password in and then suddenly it says put your password in again i tried like a hundred times and then i thought my password was wrong so i clicked the "forgot my password" button and then nothing happened what do i do?

I dont really understand it its really weird its like the box was like login so then i just put my password in not too sure on if it was the right password so i tried all the passwords that i now i only use and then it didnt really make much of a difference it just happened to come back up again and again and again.
Im confused and i clicked the i forgot my password button a hundred times too but the box just kind of went away and didnt pop back up again i dont get it and i really want to chat with my friends

Hi,
Is this an @mac.com name that you use ?
Has it ever worked in iChat ?
If it is an @mac.com name you can change the password here at Apple's iForgot site.
Keep the new password to 16 characters or Less for use with iChat as the AIM servers that you connect to cannot cope with larger ones.

I can't update any of my apps. I have an old email address that I forgot the password to. I set up a new apple idea (I do know the password to this one), but every time I try to update my apps, it brings me back to my old email.

I've tried many times to get rid of my old iTunes account. I have made a new Apple ID and I do remember the password. My 2 main problems are, i can't update ANY of my apps (and I have 53 to update now), and I can't get rid of my old old email that I forgot the password to. Every time I try to reset the account and start a new iTunes account, it will ask me for my new email. I've tried multiple times to change it, bbut every time i do, it asks me to put a password when for my old email that I forgot the password to reset the account.

Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

Idoc- File with date+time stamp, getting overwritten

Hi,
I have a scenario where in am writing Idocs from R3 to a Txt File in 3rd party system.
For an instance upon running a Tx, am generating 3 idocs. I need all these 3 idocs to be written to a single file. Hence for the file naming i have used "CREDAT_CRETIM.txt" from EDI_DC40(all idocs carry same date+time).
I have configured the file mode as Create -> using Temporary fileschema of "Ord.xfr". I need this for locking before FTP to the 3rd party system.
If i check the OVER WRITE EXISTING FILE checkbox, i get only the last idoc written to the file(overwriting previous 2 idocs).
If i Uncheck the OVER WRITE EXISTING FILE checkbox, i get only the first idoc written to the file(other 2 idocs are not written) they are shown successful in MONI.

hi BRamchan,
>>>><i>If i Uncheck the OVER WRITE EXISTING FILE checkbox, i get only the first idoc written to the file(other 2 idocs are not written) they are shown successful in MONI.</i>
If you can see in moni successfully process, look in the RWB communication channel monitoring of the receiving channel, there you might find error.

Set Date Time Computer with Java in Linux OS

There is no API for this you'd have to run an external command using Process.exec.

Date / Time Range Selection

CA Forum: Formula
I am trying to create a report using Crystal Report XI which prompts the user to enter a start date / end date / start time & end time. For example, the person will select 9/19 (start date), 9/20 (end date), 10 AM (Start time), 10:30 AM (End Time). The report correctly pull up all tickets from 9/19 till 9/20 but only displays the tickets from 9/19 from 10 - 10:30 AM and 9/20 from 10 - 10:30 AM. I need it to show all tickets from 9/19 10:00 AM till 9/20 10:30 AM. Both the time and date are two seperate fields in the database. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

yangster:
since you are dealing with 2 seperate fields for date and time the first thing you want to do is merge them back into one so things are consistenttry putting this in your selection expert
datetimevar begin_date_time := datetime(cdate(?begin date), ctime(?begin time));datetimevar end_date_time := datetime(cdate(?end date), ctime(?end time));datetime(cdate(date_field), ctime(time_field)) in begin_date_time to end_date_time
I tried this and I get an error because it says that (?begin date), (?begin time), (?end time), and (?end date) all have to be date time fields but they are not the date field is only date field and same with the time fields. Any suggestions?

I am the administrator of my MacBook Pro, which I share with my kids. One of them forgot his password, so as the admin I changed it for his account, but when I try to see his account, it says I need to provide the keychain password. How can i get it? I have no idea how to sort this out...

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:

I have an ipad and forgot the password. I tried to many times and it disabled on me. How do I get back into my ipad without using iTunes and without losing all my saved items.

I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!

If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

"Keychain First Aid" resets all my passwords on startup - every time

I ran "Keychain First Aid" in Keychain to Repair any problems it found. It found none. Now, when I restart my computer, ALL of my Keychain passwords are reset. Why does this happen? And how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

I seem to have fixed the problem by creating a new keychain. But for the life of me, I can't figure out why this problem would arise in the first place.
EDIT:
After creating my new keychain and adding new items to it, and then running First Aid to check what would happen (using the Repair instead of Verify), I see that it deleted my login keychain - again. Here's the log:
Repair started
Checking keychain configuration for Gary (user ID=501)
Home directory is /Users/gary
Checked login keychain
Checked password for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Checked settings for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Checked default keychain
Checked keychain search list
No problems found
Repair completed
Why does it do this?
I also found my old keychain, and just re-imported it again. But, this appears to be, well, a very blatantly obvious bug.

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.
