Cannot Turn Off Keychain

Hi
I am trying to turn off iCloud Keychain on OSX 10.10.2 but cant...
This is the screen i see. I have already turned off (with great difficulty) keychain on my iPhone. So I press options and I get 'reset keychain', press yes.
enter my password, all is fine. setup new 4 number passcode, fine, enter my phone number and get the error: iCloud keychain couldn't be set up because there was an error communicating with icloud.
I want to do this because whenever i boot i get 20 or so messages asking for the password to 'local items' keychain.
This sound familiar to anyone? I'm verging on a clean install, spent days trying to figure this out.
Thanks,
Gaz.

    how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
    This is really driving me nuts.....
    Thanks

    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General. 
    Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
    2.     Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.”  You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
    From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
    I hope this helps.

  • I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer.  I can not turn off Keychain...it is awaiting authorization from the SMS on the telephone I do not have access to.

    I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB.  I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get.  Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain.  Should I cancel my icloud account?

    I appreciate your help.
    Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing.  I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval".  Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there.  But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
    Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
    Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.
    Thanks

  • Turning off keychain login

    I just moved from a MacBook Pro to an iMac. In fact, I moved from about 5 years of using a MacBook Pro, which functioned as both a desktop (when attached to a monitor) and a laptop.
    As part of my security paranoia, I locked the keychain, and required a separate login password for the keychain. So, if you were good enough to get past my login password, up popped the Keychain password which was 20 random characters (which I memorized) and impossible to break.
    But my iMac is pretty secure sitting in my house, so I'm less concerned. I guess a thief could get it, my login password and Apple ID password are really complex, and your average thief will just sell the machine, and someone will just reformat, and my privacy will be protected. I just want to save the annoyance of that second login (which is so complicated, I always mistype the password).
    Can someone explain how to shut off the separate keychain login? I've clicked a bunch of stuff which I think should turn off keychain login, but it's not working. Besides, the keychain preferences seems to have been written in some lame English, because you can't figure out if by clicking a box you get a double-negative or not.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Set the keychain password to the same as your login password.

  • Please help! I cannot turn off IPOD due to blocking message

    Please help, dear Ipod Experts and better Ipod Users,
    I cannot turn off the Ipod (when I click to the bottom ) anymore as following message appears:
    "FireWire connections are not supported to transfer songs, connect to the USB cable provided"
    Even resetting the Ipod the message appears again and again and I dont have the slightest idea what the IPOD is trying to tell me. I have regularly uploaded the songs via Itunes with the USB cable (Nothing else) and I use the official I-Fusion Sonic Impact to hear the songs in loud. Can there be the connection, because I remember that this message started appearing when the IPOD was connected to the I-Fusion.
    In order to turn the IPOD I have to leave it on till it turns off due to battery deload...Very sad solution, isnt it?
    Thanks so much for answers for a real desperate Ipod Fan
    RAFAEL

    It sounds like you have reached the authorization limit of 5 computers.  So if you need to authorize another one, either deauthorize any other computers have authorized in the past that you still have physical access to or use the Deauthorize All option as described in this article.

  • Cannot turn off passcode after ios8 upgrade - iPad mini

    Upgraded iPad mini to ios8 and cannot turn off the passcode.  In settings, I can turn it off but it tells me that I need to set a passcode within 60 minutes.  It then counts down and requires me to set a passcode once 60 minutes are up.  Also does not let me change duration of passcode (from immediately to 4 hours for example).  Any thoughts on how to turn it off?  Thanks.

    is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
    If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

    You will have to force the iPad into recovery mode and data will be lost unless you have a backup.

  • TS4006 My passcode requirement was turned off when I updated to iOS 7. It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer  won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off.

    My passcode requirement was turned off prior to updating to iOS 7.
    It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer  won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off without getting into iPad Settings.
    Do I really have to Reset the iPad?

    Yes, you will need to restore your iPad.  This link will help restore from a lost passcode:
