Cannot sync Keychain with MobileMe - password not accepted

I have installed SL twice after talking with Apple Support. On my MacBook Pro, immediately after installing SL I received a message to input the master Keychain password for my MacBook Pro. I had never see this message before installing SL. I never had separate password for my keychain, so I input my master logon password. It was not accepted.
I posted this problem in a different thread under Apple Support and received advice to delete certain preference setting, use Keychain first aid, restore to default, etc. I did all that. No luck.
I called Apple Support and the representative walked me through similar steps before advising me to reinstalling SL.
I reinstalled, no fix. All that I have done is set my MobleMe preferences to NOT sync the Keychain so I won't get the message anymore.
I also have an iMac and have had NO problems with the SL installation.
Any advice or suggestions on a more permanent fix would be extremely appreciated! Thanks!

I'm having real issues as well with my keychains on one of my machines. Are you having similar problems to what I have listed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2130442
Note that if your keychains are hosed, like mine appear to be, you will have trouble doing anything with MobileMe.

  • Syncing Keychain with Mobileme on two different Macs

    Hi,
    I just bought 1password and plan to sync my keychain with my wife's. I am not sure what exactly is going to happen: will we merge all chains in a single big one or will there be two distinct keychains?
    What will happen to the login process?
    Thank you

    Post to the MobileMe forum.

  • Syncing Keychains with Mobileme

    I'm not sure if I have a unique situation or not. But, I have an iMac (10.6) at home and also a iMac (10.5) at work which I sync via MobileMe. I would like to start syncing my keychains also. Both machines have the same user accountname, but I require separate 'login' keychains for each mac. I don't want these to sync. I have created a new keychain ('sean') which is the keychain I would like to sync.
    I don't seem to have a problem syncing the 'sean' keychain. The problem is that as default MobileMe seems to want to sync the 'login' keychain and I can't seem to find a way of opting out of the sync option. The result is that the user account passwords/login keychains get messed.
    Is there a way to make this work? Any takers?

    Could someone explain if the MobileMe pane on System Preferences is no longer needed for Calendar Sync...on older version of calendar I believe that was enough....This new mobileme calendar sync is very confusing and not well explained by Apple.

  • Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

    Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.

    I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

  • Apple id password not accepted on icloud

    why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

    If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

    Just bought a preowned palm organizer model TX. I cannot sync it with my computer. the handheld device has the previous owner's name. how do i change the user name on the device

    Perform what is referred to as a Hard Reset.  It will delete everything including the previous owner's Hotsync ID.  
    Check out this Palm Knowledgebase article to read about how to perform a Hard Reset.

  • Cannot sync Calendar with iphone 3g/itunes

    Not sure what happened but I cannot sync calendar with itunes.
    Everything else works fine with syncing with Outlook 2007 through iTunes.
    What specifically happens is everything will sync and when it gets to "syncing with calendar" the syncing process hangs, never completes.
    Any help?

    Try resetting the sync history. iTunes > Edit menu > Preferences > Devices tab, click the button. Then try syncing again.

  • Signed up on furefox desktop 2/2. No problem. Today password not accepted. Asked for help 3 hrs ago and never got email and nit in spam

    Was sucesssful signing up and using firefox on desktop yesterday. Today user name and or password not accepted. Can't get emails-nothing. Asked for help with password and never got email. This was 3 hrs ago and not in spam folder

    Password for what? Signing up for what?
    Firefox doesn't need a password for a person to be able to use it.
    Firefox shouldn't affect your ability to get email - Firefox doesn't do email, but it will allow you to access your web-mail service.

    Hello surig84,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your iPad.  I recommend reviewing the following article specifically the section titled "Authorize using the correct account name."
