I have never set up keychain, as I do not use the apple email. How do I set passwords for keychain? I am in an endless circle

I have never set up keychain, as  do not use apple mail. It is driving me crazy. It interrupts everything I try to do every 3 or 4 seconds. I want it off my computer absolutely and forever. How???? PLease>

This article has some helpful information, but it reads like it was written by the crypo guys (a bit terse and mathematical, but correct).
OS X Mountain Lion: About your keychain password
It comes down to this:
If your keychain gets messed up, Launch Keychain access and try to repair. The important keychain that tracks with your username is "Login".
If you can't get anywhere with that, just discard the locked keychain and everything in it and slowly, over time, build up a new one on an as-needed basis.

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

    Hello Clancbelle,
    It sounds like you have a credit card saved to your Apple ID payment information and you would like it to be removed from the account and set the payment method to None. You should be able to do this with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Changing your payment information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
    Changing your payment information using an iOS device
    Tap Settings on the Home screen.
    Tap iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID. (If you aren't signed in, enter your Apple ID and password and tap Sign In.)
    Tap View Apple ID.
    Enter your Apple ID password.
    In the Edit section, tap Payment Information.
    Update the information that you want to change.
    Tap the Done button when you're finished.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

    have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I have a 309g photosmart prem. I can not use the HP advanced Photo paper 10.5 mil Lb paper

    I have a 309g photosmart prem. I can not use the HP advanced photo paper 10.5mil Lb paper, when It feeds through it says mismatch. I have change the settings and everything, my same paper that is 4x6 works but not the 8x10?
    Help I want to print a 5x7 and the paper will not go through?

    In case you are not getting the option to select the paper from PSE, you can go to printer settings through the icon present in the print dialog box, there you can select the paper. The paper selected in the advanced options should be reflected in PSE as well.

  • Forgotton or never set password for iPhone 6 backup

    I recently checked the "Encrypt iPhone backup" option in itunes as I thought it would restore all my email account information in the event needing to do a restore from backup on a new or replaced phone.
    I don't remember ever given an option to set a password for this. And if I did and forgot I did, I've tried every password I've ever used or would use in order to uncheck the "Encrypt iPhone backup" and it doesn't work.
    So it appears the backup of my iPhone is useless as I assume I would be asked for this password when trying to do a restore.
    Is there any work around or could Apple do anything on their end?
    If not, I'm essentially in a very bad way and will have no way of transferring my iphone content to another phone.

    Hi When you Charge an iPhone /iPad it backs up your data to ICLOUD So if you need to set your iPhone back to Factory Settings Or buy a new iPhone. If you use the same Apple ID you get all your Apps & Data back So if you have problems a Factory Reset make iPhone like new. Cheers Brian

  • I have not been able to use the apple app,

    CAN NOT USE THE APPLE APP. PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING MY TEXT, ECT.  I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THESE ISSUES.  FIX!!!!!

    Did you switch platforms recently, going from iOS to something else and then back to iOS?
    If not, you should first restart your iPhone. Then check your Settings for Cellular and make sure you have Cellular Data: On, Roaming: Voice & Data.
    Finally, back up and then restore your iPhone. Set it up like a new iPhone and then restore your data from the backup.

    When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

    It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

    Home sharing problem: I have never set up home sharing but I feel I the concept and how it works.  I recently (last 2 months or so) deauthorized, first time ever, all computers with my iTunes account. I have 3 computers authorized.  I am trying to set up home sharing but get  iTunes says:

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • I wish to reset my ipad.  However, when I selectGeneral Reset Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set).  I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad not reset. How do I get past this?

    I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen..  However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set).  I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this?  I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode.  I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.

    The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.

  • I have never set up a passcode but when I try to reset my phone it is asking for a passcode. Is there a generic code? Or how do I retrieve an existing/forgotten passcode?

    I have never set up a passcode on my iphone 4S but when I try to reset my phone it is asking for a 4 digit passcode.  Is there a generic code? Or how do I retrieve an existing/forgotten passcode?

    You will need to put your phone in recovery mode and then restore using iTunes.
