Using Automator to insert Username and press "Enter"

Hello all, this is my first post so I'm trying to keep it relatively simple. Basically, I have only ever used Automator for very light, easy tasks.
This is one I am trying to make for a friend for an automated voting process on a gaming website.
The link is here: http://www.minetown.net/vote - As you can see, it asks for a Username, and pressing "Enter" will suffice, to take you to the next page.
My problem is getting automator to click the box and type in the username. Thus far, I have managed to get automator to open the webpage (Hooray!) but when adding the "Run AppleScript" action, I realised I had very little knowledge of this indeed.
If anybody could explain how to make such a script, or even paste it for me! It would be greatly appreciated.
If it helps, pressing TAB 12 times brings you to the box, I'm sure it is possible to automate pressing TAB 12 times, or even cut out the middle man and get it to click the box automatically, I wouldn't know to be honest...
Your time is appreciated!
Thomas

Hello jberg62, If the system is a newer model, as you suggest with Windows 7 installed. You may be able to restore the system back to the factory state by booting the system, and when the HP Logo screen appears, start tapping the F-11 key and see if you can enter the HP Recovery Restore Utility.
If you manage to get to this, select the destructive method and the hard drive will be formatted and all the data will be wiped from the hard drive and all the original software will be reinstalled just as it was when shipped from HP.
When the system reboots, you will be required to enter the user information just as it was done when the system was first booted when received form HP.
After the recovery process completes, go to the Windows update site and download and install all the available Windows updates.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.
Please mark Accept As Solution if it solves your problem.

I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

When I enter a search in the Mozilla Start Page and press enter the browser does nothing. It doesn't bring in any search results. I use Windows Vista pack2

I just upgraded Firefox for windows to version 21.0
After upgrading, when I enter a subject to search in the search box (in the middle of the page) of the Mozilla Start page and press enter nothing happens. It doesn't bring in any search results.
The only way to navigate using the browser is to enter the website name in the address box at the top of the page and press enter. I'm running the browser for Windows Vista - 32 bits.
I tried re-installing firefox and I got the same result. I also tried re-booting after installation and it still behaves the same way.
Please help,
Thank you,
Hektor

I need an app or software that records the date/time each time a write something and press enter. This needs to be quick so I can continue writing right after I press enter, and the date/time is inserted for each word. Does this sort of software exist?

How to repair "No bootable device insert disk and press any key" problem?

I was browsing sites using Google Chrome when all of a sudden, my laptop completely turned off. I turned the power back on only to find the error message "Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082)" appear in white letters, followed by a bunch of other error messages, ending with, "No bootable device insert disk and press any key". Whenever I try restarting my laptop, the same error messages show up.
I've been reading about Toshiba laptops, to try to remedy this issue, and I've learned that as of 2007, Toshiba discontinued the recovery disks that had always accompanied the laptops, and instead, allow you to totally restore your computer without the help of a disk. (The model of my laptop is Satellite L300D - 01P).
Now, apparently to restore a Toshiba laptop, you're supposed to press the '0' key while also pressing the power button, but when I do this, there is a beeping noise (which is apparently supposed to happen), but the error messages (ending with "No bootable device insert disk and press any key") still show up. Other than the affirmative beeping noise, no changes occur.
Anyone had this problem or have any suggestions of how to fix it?
Thanks so much.

Have you also learned that you SHOULD create recovery DVD using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool? When something goes wrong with HDD you can use this disc for operating system installation. This is clearly described in Users manuals document.
Back to your problem:
I don't know for sure but Im afraid you have some problem with HDD controller or HDD itself.
Is HDD recognized in BIOS settings (F2 at start up)?

No bootable device found- insert disk and press any key

hi all, recently i have updated my macbook pro (mid 2012) from mavericks to yosemite
now the problem is i cannot install windows 8.1 both by bootcamp and through direct booting
when i go through bootcamp or by direct boot it says : NO BOOTABLE DEVICE FOUND - INSERT DISK AND PRESS KEY
am totally confused of not able to get about this problem
i cant run the windows setup to proceed installation
plz help me to find a solution

OS X cannot as standard write to NTFS partitions so it is likely that initially the Boot Camp utility created a FAT32 partition. This is not however a problem, when you run the Windows 7 installer either you can manually and specifically reformat that partition to NTFS or it may even do this automatically because it knows that Windows 7 can only be installed in to a NTFS partition.
Obviously if you are using the Windows 7 installer to manually reformat a partition make sure you select the right one!
It sounds like the Boot Camp utility got as far as setting the new 'Windows' partition to be the choice to boot from but of course it is currently empty. However if you are using a Windows CD/DVD disc to install from you should still be able to insert it, turn on the Mac, and hold down the letter 'C' to boot from it. If you are using a USB memory stick to install from then plug it in, hold down the Option/Alt key and turn on the Mac. Hopefully it will then list the USB drive as one of the boot choices or at least list the normal Mac boot disk.
With a Bluetooth keyboard the above keys for use during boot up may not work as mentioned by mjl2013.

Sites won't load after I type it and press enter.

I tried to get firefox 3.6 at start but everytime i type a certain url in the address bar and press enter, it won't load. I always needed to click the go button using my mouse.
I tried IE and GC but they both load all websites when I press enter.
Just inconvenient to always click the go button instead of just hitting the enter button :(

This issue can be caused by an (AVG) extension that isn't working properly.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
Step by Step to fix your Mac
but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

Can I use the same icloud username and password for multiple phones?

I have 6 iphones and wanted to use Apple Configurator to install the same apps on all 6 phones. Some of the apps though, also require further installation by email. Can I use the same iCloud username and password for all 6 phones to download the apps and also to configure email or do I need to create 6 different Apple IDs?

If different people will be using these phones, you might be better off using the same Apple ID for the iTunes content...apps, music, etc. on each of these devices, but create different ID's for iCloud on each device. You can use one ID for the iTunes/App store, & a different ID for iCloud. That way, messages, notes, contacts, calendars, etc will be kept separate on each device.

"no bootable devices" insert disk and press any key

hi i just bought leopard yesterday AND I LOVE IT!! The only problem is after waking up i went over to my macbook and turned it one but the message: no bootable devices insert disk and press any key.
came up i rebooted 3 times but i keeps coming up. so i decided to select the mac hard drive by holding alt when i boot it up that worked! but i still want it to be able to boot up straight away by pressing the on button. Also i deleted my boot camp partition yesterday could this be the problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
in OSX open System Preferences (from the Apple Menu) go to Startup Volume choose your OSX Volume and do the needed restart.
Should boot right into it.
Have Fun

When using the clone stamp tool and press the alt key layer just moves

when using the clone stamp tool and press the alt key to set a point it seem to create a new layer and just moves the layer arround. I can not get the clone to now work. what did I do?

Open the Clone Source panel. I think you'll find the Clipped option is disabled. If so, enable it.

Get safari feature where you type a letter and press enter and have it go to the webpage

I like firefox much more than safari, but I really like the safari feature where it suggests webpages. For example, say the last webpage I went on that starts with an "f" is facebook. All I would need to do is type in "f" and press enter and it will take me to facebook. Is there an extension or something that will bring that feature to firefox?

A possibility is to bookmark a site and assign a keyword to it.
