Deleted certificate keeps on reappearing in my Keychain. What can restore it?

Hi there,
I recently renewed a certificate I use, among other things) to directly sign-in on password-pretected website at CERN (e.g. collaboration web pages). I deleted the expired certificate from my keychain, and installed the new one: everything seems to be working fine.
The weird thing I'm experiencing since I did all these actions is that every morning I find again in the Keychain the old expired certificate I deleted (?!?), like some process was restoring it. I tried to monitor what could do that without much success, and googling the problem lead to nothing (there seems to be a known issue with Xcode restoring expired certificates, but I never use Xcode, and I don't have developer profiles installed). The thing is rather annoying, because having 2 similar identities, one valid and another expired, seems to trouble Safari, and I cannot really use the automatic login unless I re-deled the expired certificate. Ditto, I have to do it again every morning, since it seems to resurrect somehow...
I tried to lock the login keychain, but using the machine is then impossible (e.g. Mail.app ask for access every time it looks for new mail). I had certificates installed on my iPhone, so I thought that could be the source (the iPhone certainly syncs overnight) and I deleted them, since anyway certificate authentication from iOS on CERN website is not working (yet?). It dod not really helped, tough.
Any suggestions?
I'm running OS X 10.8.2, Keychain access v. 7.0.
Thanks! M.

    i've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

    I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

    Im on iOS 8.0.2 and it just keeps going out of cellular service, what can i do?

    Hello there cubandope,
    If I understand correctly, your iPhone cellular data is dropping periodically, but you can still make calls. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue here:
    If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad
    Follow these steps, testing after each.
    Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Restart your device.
    Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
    Check for a carrier-settings update: Connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > General > About, and install any available carrier-settings updates. If you can't connect to Wi-Fi, connect your device to a computer that has iTunes.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues.
    Restore your iPhone.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    I just bought the 5th generation iPod my email keeps downloading over and over when I go to delete my email what can I do I've even reset my email and it still keeps doing the same thing it's annoying what else can I do to fix the problem?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Delete the account from the iPod and reenter the settings. I do not know what you mean by "reset my email ".
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    My IPhoto would no longer open, I uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall it with my software reinstall drive.  A message keeps coming up, installation failed. What do I now?

    If you have a copy of it backed up, restore that. If not, back up your computer, upgrade it to Mavericks, and then get the current iPhoto version. If you don't have it backed up and don't want to upgrade, go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

    If it is one Apple's other iPods then this article has some information:
    iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1350
    Unlocking iPod
    You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
    Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
    Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
    If you can't unlock iPod using either of these methods, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to iPod.If you want to change the primary computer that your iPod is associated with, do this:
    Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
    Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
    Open iTunes and synchronize.

  • Deleted songs KEEP ON REAPPEARING

    I've told iTunes not to sync.
    I've told it to manually manage my music.
    Apparently, none of this matters because the program is completely broken in this regard.  Every single time I press 'sync,' without fail, about a dozen RANDOM songs get put on my iPhone and I need to delete them every single time.
    Is there any fix?

    Not sure why I can't edit these posts I'm making (yet another crappy broken element of an Apple service!), but I've done everything conceivable other than formatting my iPhone, which shouldn't be necessary.
    I've hidden all of the purchases in iTunes, yet every time I plug in my **** iPhone, a dozen or so tracks show up greyed out saying 'stream' on them. 

  • Installed Server, Got certificate added in server and Mac keychain. Can't Send Mail

    Hi,
    I dove into server tonight. In a fit of overconfidence, I installed it on my main Macintosh as it is the only compatible machine. I wanted to run it while doing other things so i put it on my main login. I got a certificate from my Godaddy account and got it installed on server. I quit server and opened Mail and I cant send mail as it is trying to use the new certificate I believe. I downloaded and added the certificates to keychain and I see them.
    The Message: An error occured while trying to sign this message with a certificate from "$%^[email protected]". Verify that your certificate for this address is correct and the private key is on your keychain.
    How can I either make the certificate work for mail, add the private key to my keychain or delete the key so that mail uses whatever it was previously using?
    Thanks A Million!
    V

    cPragman,
    I surely could be confusing the two. I actually didn't want to do anything with mail in server yet. I installed server. Spent some time trying to get it set up, quit server and returned to my normal (client) work. I tried to send an email from my main account and got an error message in the client mail app referring to the certificate.
    The Message: An error occured while trying to sign this message with a certificate from "$%^[email protected]". Verify that your certificate for this address is correct and the private key is on your keychain.
    I have had the domain name and the cretificate came in that package. I was not even going to make it available to the outside world for some time. I just wanted the server up so i could practice working with it. I am moving from strictly creative IT (logic, Pro Tools etc.) to an environment that is more corporate and requires a bit of server knowledge. Luckily i have a bit of time to learn about it. i am obviously clueless as of now.
    Sincere thanks for your help.

  • I inadvertently imported all of my iPhoto videos to my iMovie library.  I have tried everything possible to delete them.  I still want to keep them in iPhoto however. What can I do?

    I inadvertently imported all of my iPhoto videos to my iMovie library.  I have been unable to delete them. How can I delete them from the iMovie library without deleting them fro iPhoto?

    Did you import them into an Event Folder? Or are they still just showin up under the iPhoto Videos folder? Anything inside of the iPhoto Videos folder cannot be deleted, because it is under the full control and jurisdiction of iPhoto and is merely 'shared' from iPhoto and made visible to iMovie. Everything else can first be deleted, then moved to the Trash. To find the items that have been marked for deletion under iMovie '11 go to the pull-down tab at the bottom of the iMovie window frame labeled Show: and choose 'Rejected Only'. Then when you see all the clips with red stripes on them Select All (⌘ Command key + a). Then click on the button labeled Move rejected to Trash.
