AirDrop Apple ID certificate problem

I get the the following error message when trying to use AirDrop
The Apple ID certificate for “Richard Fosse” is invalid. The transfer has been canceled.
Both machines iMac and Air have the same ID???

Hi
Yes, same problem for me too. Have had it working, but stopped for no apparent reason, though i had just updated Lion on both macs to take advantage of the iCloud functionality.
Some blogs have suggested relaunching Finder on both machines or even a simple windows style re-boot, but neither worked for me.
Really annoying as i use one mac at home and the other for work, needing to transfer files between the two.
Thought iCloud may be the saviour in the short term until this problem is fixed, but forcing you to go through an iOS device when exchanging documents is crazy, especially docs of significant size, as it takes an iOS device like iPad, an age to process. Why on earth you can't use iCloud for docs in a mac to mac scenario is beyond me. If Apple saw an opportuntiyt to shift even more i OS devices or iOS software (Pages, Numbers etc) by forcing an iOS device into the equation, then that srtikes me as profiteering and short-sighted. I'd have guessed as much of most organisations, but i'm disappointed if Apple feel the need for this, given their revenue and unit sales growth.
Anyhow, please fix this issue......

Getting Error Apple ID Certificate Invalid in Mac OS X Lion's AirDrop

When I tried to transfer from my MBA to my Mac mini it said declined; and when I tried to transfer from Mac mini to MBA it said 'The Apple ID certificate for xxxxx is invalid, The transfer has been cancelled'.
Yet I used to transfer, it's now all of a sudden, could it have to do with iCloud now installed??

Why do I get an error in AirDrop that reads The Apple ID certificate for is invalid.

Why do I get an error in AirDrop that reads The Apple ID certificate for XXXX is invalid. The XXXX would be the name of the other computer I am sending it to. I am trying to transfer files from my iMac to my son's MacBook Air which are both up to date and running Lion.

OS X Safari and Hotmail Certificate Problem

Hello Apple discussions,I Am having problems accessing part of a microsoft hotmail account which explains below
I Have a problem with my hotmail Web account Using OS X 10.6.4 Safari 5.0 when I Try adding another email account to my hotmail account where it says: Add an e-mail account on the left side pane of hotmail. when I Click on Add an e-mail account I Get the error message for a Certificate problem: safari cannot verify the identity of the website ¨col0-sec.mail.live.com¨ I Am using OS X 10.6.4 and Safari 5.0. I Have tried using a earlier version of safari but the same problem occurred so I Tried using Google Chrome (most recent) and Opera Browsers for MAC and with no luck, the exact same problem. so I Tried adding an email account using a windows xp machine, it had no problem adding an email account so the problem seems to be OS X problem. It seems to be something wrong with the certificate for validation on the Microsoft website I Think.I Can send a screen shot of the entire message that popped up for the invalid certificate if needed to fix this problem.

Thought of something else you might try.
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select "My Certificates" or on the left.
If you see a Microsoft/Hotmail certificate, double click that. Click the gray disclosure triangle so
it faces down. Click the pop up menu next to: When using this certificate and set it to: Always Trust.
Relaunch Safari and try logging into your Hotmail account.

App in Air unable to load to IOS certificate problems

Hey Guys,
We have built and App using Air (i am not the tech bod so excuse if i make mistakes).
We are pretty sure the flash side is good, in fact 99% sure as we had it checked, but, everytime we try to upload we get this error
The bundle 'com.zootcard.zootcard" at bundle path 'zoot.app' is not signed using and Apple submission certificate.
The icon issues we had before are resolved, we have only this problem and it has been rolling on and killing us for over a week.
Any help or advice would be super appreciated.
It is converted using the P12 extension from Flash to Apple Connect
Save us, you are our only hope!!!
Many thanks!!!

Safari client certificate problem w/ Canada Post website

I am using OSX 10.8.5 and Safari 6.1.1
I'm trying to use the Canada Post website for online shipping (ship-in-a-click) via the site:
http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/tools/cst/intro-e.asp
When I choose my option (in this case INTERNATIONAL) a pop-up opens asking to select a client certificate. A list of five certificates, which are all apparently valid and not expired, is given. No matter which certificate I select I cannot get past this pop up window. It just pops back up again.
The certificates are all in the form:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd. then a very lengthy alpha numeric string
From what I have read with certificate problems you can just delete them and next time you visit the site will ask you to select a new one. However, in this case, with all the certificates seemingly being valid, I don't think that will be the solution. Although, I am a complete novice when it comes to these issues.
Can anybody suggest something other than using Firefox/Chrome etc. although if that is the ONLY choice then so be it. But surely this can be solved within Safari, no? The rest of the Canada Post site seems to behave OK with Safari.
Thank you.

Neither. I am on Mavericks and it shows the exact same issue, so it neither fixes the problem or intoduces new ones, at least with my site.
I also noticed that it is somewhat based on the loction (IP) of the server because on my local laptop (During development) and on our QA server would try and send a certificate that it should not send. HOWEVER once we implemented the SSL client certificate on our production server it would no longer send the certificate. I have no idea why and speculate that it is because our production server has a public IP.
If you want you can use my site and see if the problem persists for you there (http://whf.to); however given the seemingly random why Safari decides to send certificates you may or may not see the issue. If Safari does indeed send a certificate you should get an error page that details what happened (in somewhat lay-terms).
Sorry that Mavericks doesn't fix the issue for you.

Apple Push Certificate Portal

I am at the Apple Push Certificate Portal site to try to create a cert, Since this is my first time to do this process the Apple site gives me this message:
"The email address associated with your Apple ID must be verified before you may acquire a certificate. Please check your inbox for a confirmation message and follow the instructions to verify your email address."
I wait and wait but the email never comes. Has anyone have this problem before? Is this all Apple's problem?
Thanks.

Same problem to me. Is there a solution for this issure?

Apple push certificate

Hi All
From server manager I went to hardware, then settings then clicked on "edit" on SSL certitificate.
From there I went to manage, so I could export the certificate, but I accidently clicked on the minus - symbol and it removed the certificate without any confirmation.
Now is the a way I can recover or find where the certificate went. The certificate was self signed and was being used for the Apple push certificates notification.
I am afraid that none of the ipads will work with the profile manager as the certificate is not there, and I dont want to re enroll the ipads to the server again.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated

Same problem to me. Is there a solution for this issure?

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig? IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all. Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

Adobe AIR 3 Performance Issues and Code Signing Certificate Problem

I recently updated to Adobe AIR 3.0 SDK (and runtime) doing HTML/Javascript development using Dreamweaver CS5.5 in a Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).
The AIR app I'm developing runs well from within Dreamweaver. But when I create/package the AIR app and install it on my machine:
1. The app literally CRAWLS running it in my Windows 7 12G RAM machine (especially when I use the mouse to mouse over a 19-by-21 set of hyperlinks on a grid) --- IT IS THAT SLOOOOWWWW...
2. The app runs fine in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4G RAM, also using the Adobe AIR 3 runtime.
About the Code Signing Certificate problem:
When I try to package the AIR app with ADT using AIR's temporary certificate feature, I get the error message "Could not generate timestamp: handshake alert: unrecognized_name".
I found some discussions on this problem in an Adobe AIR Google Groups forum, but no one has yet offered any resolution to the issue. Someone said Adobe is using the Geotrust timestamping service --- located at https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa --- but going to this page produces a "404 --- Page not found" error.
The Google Groups Adobe AIR page is here:
http://groups.google.com/group/air-tight/browse_thread/thread/17cd38d71a385587
Any ideas about these issues?
Thanks!
