Can't open keychain in Lion.

Hello everyone
At my school, we got a login to acces the internet. However, lately I'm having huge internet problems with safari. It simply couldn't load anything at all, not even localhost or my MAMP server. I'm posting this from Aurora, which is a firefox version, through TOR. Chrome don't work either, but I like safari very much, and I don't wanna change browser. I'm using a MBP from '08 and running OS X 10.7.2.
The IT guy at school managed to get it working. In the Keychain, I have to disable OSCP and CRL under certificate settings. Here's a pic.
But... This led me to the next problem. When i open Keychain, it freezes and I can't do anything. I have tried to replace the current keychain.app with a time machine version from august. But the problem persists.
I tried to take a procces test from activity monitor, but when it's like 99% done, it freezes.
I have checked in consol, but couldn't find anything related.
I googled "can't open keychain lion" and found http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1435689.htm. They suggest a repair of the HDD using disc utillity when started in recovery mode. I did that, and it found some kind of fatal error. I can't post the whole repport, since I can't do it when booted into OS X. But it was something about a bad amount of blocks. Like I had 947464646 instead of 94746419. I should back my stuff up and do a fresh install of Lion.
Is there an easier method to open the keychain? That don't involve a complete reinstall?
Thanks in advance

Ah. It was the Font Explorer X plug in.
Finally found another thread w/ the same problem.
Which makes this the best thread evah!

After lion istallation i can't open Keychain Access, after lion istallation i can't open Keychain Access

after then i istall lion ,if i open Keychain Access ,dont open it and i read this message" i can't open Keychain Access for a problem"
for mi this is a big problem i can't lost every my keys
help me please

OK, let's try this...
Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up in Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup because it runs a directory check.)
If your Keychain functions correctly that way, go to Keychain menu and "Rebuild Keychain. If not go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
* Again, Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library"

Can't open keychain after update to 10.9.5

After i update to Mac OS 10.9.5, i find out that some of the program in Utilities; can't open it; such as Bluetooth File Exchange, Boot Camp Assistant, Console, Keychain Access, System Information and VoiceOver Utility. I don't know why this happen. Can anyone able to help me?

Try running the combo update.
10.9.5 Combo Update
If that doesn't work, try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Can't open itunes with lion

Hey Everybody
So I installed the new lion OS X, and just got an ipod, but when i tried to open itunes it showed following message (linked).
I tried to unistall itunes and then install it again, but it doesn't work.
Can anybody please help me?
Kind regards Kathrine Norsk

OK, so if all your music, etc is safe, and your feeling brave, Uninstall iTunes in this way. Keep in mind you'll lose any backups for an iPhone if you have one.
Move to Trash
Applications/iTunes
/Library/iTunes
~/Library/iTunes
~/Library/Preferences/Any file that is associated with com.apple.iTunes.plist (there may be a few or many)
If your Library is not visible in your Home Folder then Finder Menu/ Option Click Go/Library
Remember to be careful to delete only those files in the Library
Then download/install iTunes 10.4 and hopefully that will work

I can't open mail on Lion! Why?

When I click at the mail Icon it says that there is a problem

Do you still have the TimeMachine backup from Snow Leopard?
First, you’ll need to show the Library (hidden by default in Lion). To do this,
Launch Terminal (it’s in Applications, Utilities)
Enter : chflags nohidden ~/Library
Now you can see the Library folder under your username, move the ‘Mail’ folder from your-username/Library/ to the Desktop (or anywhere else).
Launch Mail again, it will now load but you will need to enter mail account details. After that, Mail WILL open. If you use IMAP only, then the next two steps aren’t actually necessary as once you add the account settings, it should pull down all your mail as it was before anyway. If you don't, you may want to use the steps below.
Now, with Mail running, you can enter TimeMachine, select the folders that you had in Snow Leopard and click Restore.
Or, from the Mail menubar, click File >> Import Mailboxes and then choose the ‘Apple Mail’ option and then browse to the Mail folder on your Desktop (or where you saved it), and then import all the mailboxes it finds.
This should do it.
Regards.

Can't open PSDs in Lion, CS5

So weird, and so annoying.
I usually save these things as TIFFs anyway, but for some (dumb) reason, I saved one of my projects as a PSD, and now I can't re-open it!
It's not a big file (9.5mb) andit doesn't have a lot of layers. But it took me a while to build.
There's some twitter about this problem, but haven't really seen anything about it on here.
Any ideas? Tips? Tricks? Dirty Limmeriks?

I have an older Power Mac G5 running 10.4 11. When I open Keychain it is locked and won't open on restart or when I use my administrator password

I have an older Power Mac G5 running 10.4 11. Key chain seems to have locked itself ? When I go to open Keychain it is locked and won't open on restart or when I use my administrator password. I thought the keychain password was the administrator's password and that it would open on restart. If this isn't correct, how can I open Keychain ?

I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the app "unexpedtely quits" and can't go further. This happens with iTunes (when I turn to the iTunes Store), MacApp Store, Software updates an many other apps...

I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the affected app "unexpedtely quits", showing a window (sort of expanded dialog box) with the log history, wich form a complete report wich is said to be sent to Apple. Despite that this window has a "restart" button, I haven't been able to go any further from this point, as it repeats the process again and again, impeding me to use the affected app.
This has get to a critical point, as it is afecting apps like iTunes (especifically when I turn to the iTunes Store from within te app), MacApp Store, Software Updates (I can't update anything, given this problem) and many other apps, including Aperture 3, Fusion 4, integrated Dictionary and Wikipedia, as I've been able to verify.
As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't affected apps like Office, Vectorworks, Pixelmator, iDraw, Quick Note...
Can anybody help me on this matter?
Thanks a lot, in advance...

Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

Can't open powerpoint files in keynote since Mountain Lion upgrade

Not having much luck and not sure which forum to post in as this could be a Mountain Lion issue, an iWork issue, but is also an iWork and/or IOS6 issue!
Until last week I had Lion on iMac and IOS5 on iPad. I was able to log on to my work network server (school network, I am a teacher) and open powerpoint, word or excel files in keynote, pages or numbers on my iPad. I then upgraded to IOS6 and now none of the files will open up on my iPad. I get the open in screen when I choose a file to open, then nothing happens.
In the meantime, I upgraded my iMac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Since I was having problems accessing my work files and viewing them on my iPad, I decided to buy Keynote on my iMac in the hope that I could get on with some work on iMac rather than iPad. I logged on to my school server and tried to open a powerpoint file and for some reason it downloads it as a pptx.exe and if I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can't open the application xxx.pptx.exe because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX". It shouldn't be a .exe file it should just be a powerpoint file! When I open Keynote and look for available files on my iMac, the file I just downloaded is greyed out.
Hmmmmm so I have an iMac, an iPad, two versions of the Keynote app (plus numbers and pages on the ipad) and can't open any of my files from my school network. That seems a lot of money in one pot Apple and something has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion, and from IOS5 to IOS6 which is preventing me from doing my work. IOS5 allowed me to open any ppt, xls, doc, pptx, xlsx, docx file from my school network so why since upgrading to IOS6 can I suddenly not open them??
Now having forked out for Keynote on my iMac, I have the same problem.
I am able to open attachments in emails and I am able to log on to the school VLE and access and open files. So it is just something to do with opening from the normal file system that I can't do.
I posted in the iPad and iWork forum and had no replies. However, Apple iWork team have contacted me after reading my post re the iPad issue of opening files from my network. I've provided info to them and am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I have now discovered there is also an issue on my iMac. Hopefully they will read this too or someone else will perhaps know what is going on.
It is a worry that I can't do any work using my Apple products seeing as I have bought them! I have had to go back to bringing my windows laptop home everyday which I hope is a short term solution. I have loved the fact that I could access everything on my school network from my iPad in the past and not have to drag a laptop around. I am also worried that this means pupils can't access the files too if they are using Macs, iphones, ipads etc and have upgraded to Mountain Lion or IOS6.
Hoping someone can help
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response but I think you've misunderstood the problem. I can not open any type of PowerPoint file off my server in keynote. This includes .ppt and .pptx files. (Also includes .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx in pages and numbers).
Even if what you said worked it would take forever to go through every file and save them all as ppt 2007. Plus of course, I don't know what files I will need when. There are hundreds of resources I need to access when I'm at home. I need the flexibility to view the files when i need to and on the go. Normally I can download them off my school network on to my iPad in keynote and edit them then I email them back to myself ready to use the next day or to save back to my network. Currently I can not download any Microsoft office file. So I am now forced to have to lug my laptop home everyday, rendering my iPad and iMac useless. I can't pre-empt what I'll need and save it as .ppt as that is completely inflexible and that won't open anyways as this is not an issue with the version of PowerPoint file. This is an issue with how all Microsoft files are downloading from my school network to my iPad and iMac. I want Apple to allow this to work like it used to before the upgrades in operating systems. I wish I hadn't upgraded as it worked perfectly. :(

Can't open keyboard/preferences in lion

HI,
I've downloaded lion over the week-end.
Installation went ok but I am getting a few strange behaviors:
1- When selecting "shut down" from my account nothing happens. I have to first log out and then log out!!
2- When trying to access system preferences + keyboard I first get a message saying it has to restart the "system preference" to access the option. The system preference is then restarted (I note that at the top it now indicates "system preferences 32-bit") and then a pop up window says "you can't open Keyboard preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based MAC".
I actually doubt that!!!
3- Last thing is that when installing xcode 4.1 the tool indicated at some point I had to close safari to continue installation. I did so but the installation did not continue. I had to restart the computer and reintall xcode (without safari opened) to get a successful installation.
I can survive with (1) & (3) but question (2) is really annoying as I can't customize my mac.
By the way I am using a macbook pro (2.53 GHz intel core 2 duo with lion (11A511).
Any help would be welcome.
Thx.

TextEdit found in your Applications folder will open Word documents. I have the same problem. come on Apple try sort it out
