Facetime wants to use your confidential information stored in ids: - AuthToken in your keychain

OSX 10.10.2 fresh new iMac.
When I open FaceTime and log in, I'm presented with a message.wants to use your confidential information stored in ids:<my appleID emailaddress> - AuthToken in your keychain. Option to Always Allow, Deny or Allow. Clicking either one will bring me back to FaceTime login screen. I'm not able to login.
Google search results suggest resetting KeyChain or Since this is a new mac, I don't really have anything in my Keychain.
I've already went into Keychain preferences and made sure it was unlocked and even reset the Keychain preferences.
I'm able to login on my iPhone and my other iMac running 10.10.2 as well.

When I login I get a message "aosnotifyd wants to use your confidential information stored in "my name" in your keychain." How do I know if it is safe to allow this? Can anyone advise please?

Every time I login I get the message "aosnotifyd wants to use your confidential information stored in "my name" in your keychain." How do I know if it is safe to allow this? Can anyone advise please?

My immediate reaction is to deny.
Have you downloaded or installed any application that may relate to the abbreviation AOS? It may not necessarily be the application's name, could be the developer or distributor.
As it's occuring at log-in, go to System Preferences > Accounts > your account > Login Items and look for a related item. If there's one there, right-click (or ctrl click) on it and select Reveal in Finder. That will show you where the originator of the item is on your system and should give you more of a clue as to what it is.
I'd remove the item from login items anyway (highlight and click the minus sign at the bottom of the window). There shouldn't be anything trying to use your keychain info to notify anyone.

On start up I get message: indentityservicesd wants to use your confidential information stored in FaceTime (email) in your keychain

Hello when I downloaded software OSX 10.9.1 now on startup I get this message 2 times: Identityservicesd wants to use your confidential information stored in Facetime @yahoo.com in your keychain.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Translate wants to use your confidential information stored in.....?

I don't know why, but all of a sudden, I keep getting this message from my mail program. I keep saying Deny, but it comes back. I have searched relentlessly and have found no answers. Since the app is called translate, all I keep getting are translation information. Nothing to do with whatever is going on here.
Here is a copy of the message:
*translate wants to use your confidential information stored in "Exchange" in your keychain.*
I don't know if this is legit, or if it is something malicious. Can anyone with any knowledge in this, please enlighten me.
TIA, Billy

First the basics.
Which mail program?
Any third party software being used in conjunction with mail or to enhance the system? (e.g., There are translation programs which are meant to interact with mail, I think.)
What happens if you search your mac for the string "translate", any applications show up?

How do I stop the popup "identityservicesd wants to use your confidential information stored in " key " in your keychain"? Always allow doesn't work.

I repeatedly see the popup:
"identityservicesd wants to use your confidential information stored in "<key>" in your keychain"
If I click "always allow" it still comes up.
I've followed instructions elsewhere on this forum to open Keychain Access and use First Aid, but to no avail.
Previously I would receive the popup "messages app wants to use your confidential information..." but I changed the Access Control to allow all applications to access this item, hoping that would do the trick. But sadly it didn't work.
Any ideas?
(Also, ever since upgrading to Mavericks, it wants to go through first-time setup every time I log in. I'm prompted to enter my iCloud password, etc. etc. but the above problem predates that)

My immediate reaction is to deny.

Information stored in "Adobe.APS" in your keychain message

Hi all,
I've developed an application using Adobe AIR 1.5.3 and am looking into upgrading to AIR 2.0. When I install the AIR 2.0 runtime and try to upgrade an existing AIR 1.5.3 application to a new AIR 2.0 application I get the following message when the application starts:
<AppName> wants to use your confidential information stored in "Adobe.APS" in your keychain.
One of the first things that the application tries to do when it starts is access encrypted local storage (I'm assuming that this is where this message is coming from).
Is there any way to avoid this message when upgrading to AIR 2.0?
Thanks
Sean

Thanks for taking the time to look into this Chris,
I've one other issue where a person trying to install the AIR 1.5.3 application I work on is having difficulties during install. Here's what their .airappinstall.log file looks like:

App installer failed; exit code 7

I tried asking the user to uninstall an older version of Eye-Fi Center via the Control Panel before attempting another reinstall of Eye-Fi Center, but that didn't seem to do any good.
FWIW, this user is running Adobe AIR 2.0.2.12610 and the application in question has been developed to work with AIR 1.5.3. A quick snippet from it's application descriptor file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5">
<id>fi.eye.center</id>
<filename>Eye-Fi Center</filename>
They're seeing a popup at the end of installation which says:
"This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
I don't mean to hijack this 'Adobe.APS' thread with a separate issue - if you feel that this second issue would be better served in a separate thread, please let me know and I'll repost.
Thanks again for your help - much appreciated.

Just updated to Mavericks on my home computer. There is a pop-up each time I sign on. It states "messages agent wants to use your confidential info stored in FaceTime. An email address is included. It's in my keychain. How do I delete it?

Just updated to Mavericks on my MAC. There is a pop-up that states:" Messages agent wants to use your confidential information stored in Facetime".
(brings up an email address and that it's in my keychain). Then it goes on to state, "Do you want to allow access to this item?" I am to click on always allow or deny or allow. I would like to delete this. I do not want to allow the stated email address. I keep denying it access, yet it keeps popping up. Please help!

Open FaceTime in Applications.
Turn Off Face Time.

System preferences wants to use confidential information stored in my keychain

Images are not being displayed in emails on my Mac. This includes sending photos from iphoto via email. When going in to System Preferences to see what I need to check, I get the window which reads "System Preferences wants to use your confidential information stored in "imap.aol.com" in your keychain. Should I "always allow", "deny" or "allow"?
I recently synched my contacts via icloud with my mac and my iphone (which created a whole different problem). That is the only thing I can think of that I have done recently (?). Speaking of the contacts issue, now my phone does not have the phone numbers and all of the information of my contacts as I had on my phone before the icloud synch. Now, the contacts in my phone seem to be mostly email addresses that were stored on my mac and no phone numbers!!! WT? Help. My love for Apple is waning.

I too am losing confidence in Apple. I want to be able to make these choices and still have access to my apps.

Photostream Agent wants to use your confidential information

I keep getting the following message when I power on: "Photostream Agent wants to use your confidential information stored in icloud in your keychain. Do you want to allow access." I click, "Deny" and the same message pops up again. I click, "Deny" and it disappears for good until the next time I power on.
Is there some way to get rid of this pop up. I don't even understand who Photostream is and why an agent would want my info. Maybe it has something to do with my keychain settings.
Thank you.

Thank you, captfred.
I unchecked "photostream" in icloud. Does this mean that my photos on my hard drive are no longer backed up in icloud? I want to back them up, I just don't want to "share" them with a "Photostream Agent", or anyone else for that matter as I have pictures of my children on my hard drive.

I want to use Bento 2 as a personal knowledge database, can your recommend

I want to use Bento 2 as a personal knowledge database, can your recommend any templets that would be useful for this to get me going?
Thanks
Martin Brossman

What I mean by a personal knowledge base is a database for new things I learn that I think I will use in the future and may forget. For example: Technical tips about my new Mac, Websites that solve certain solutions, approaches for dealing with specific business situations, stats and numbers on things that do not change fast but. I have a learning challenge where learning proper nouns is difficult so I will remember the concept or idea but not the details that I need. I use to have a old DOS program that did this in filemaker.
Thanks for asking and does that give you more clarity on what I want?

Contribute cannot verify your connection information... Please notify your administrator."

After a initial network error last night, The Shared Settings
file was zapped. Contribute decided I was no longer the Admin, and
the Editor's connection also disappered.
I found the note that's pasted here, in the Contribute
Forums.
"connect to your server (using 3rd party ftp client) and
delete the _mm folder located on the root of the website - recreate
your connections and that should solve the issue"
I deleted the _mm folder. When I tried creating the
connection anew, contribute said, "Contribute cannot verify your
connection information... home/justandpeacefu/html/. Please notify
your administrator." Now it's the same error every time. I am
unable to make the new _mm folder.
Contribute Tech support sent me an email which didn't help.
It's at the very bottom.
Items 1-4 in the email are not the problem.
I am able to connect to the server, after the tech support
person reset something there.
I can make folders, and pages in FTP application;
there are no special characters;
permissions are fine;
Item 5 did not have any effect. I turned off Apple's personal
firewall, quit contribute, and tried again. Unsuccessful. Same
error.
ANY SUGGESTIONS, ANYONE?
Text from Tech Support:
As we have discussed on the phone earlier today, here are
common causes of getting a "cannot verify connection information"
when creating a connection in Contribute:
1. Not enough permissions on the root of the website - Make
sure you have enough permissions on the root of the website. Using
third party FTP software, verify that you are able to create
folders, upload and rename files, and delete files on the root of
the website.
2. There are special characters on the folder name of the
folder you are trying to connect to - Avoid special characters as
Contribute is not so compatible with them.
3. Incompatible FTP connection settings: When you are asked
to enter your FTP account information in the connection wizard,
click the advanced button. Make sure that the only options selected
are: "Choose FTP Server Settings Manually" and "Use Passive FTP to
connect to the server".
4. Verify that the FTP server is pointing to your web server.
Example: upload any temporary HTML file on the root of your
website; when you visit the URL:
http://[your_server
you should see the page render; You should not get a "Page cannot
be found".
5. Turn off any software firewall / antivirus running on the
background to isolate possibly conflicting processes.

I'm having the same problem as andres in the original post,
the message comes up when trying to Continue out of the "Remote
Path Info" box. I am able to browse to the location so Contribute
does know its there. This is with Contribute 4 on Mac OS X
connecting to a Linux server.
I manually ran the FTP connection tests via command line:
http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19496
and all tests passed successfully
I also downloaded and ran FTP Connection Checker (on my
Windows machine) at:
http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19012
and passed all tests successfully.
The wording with these tests imply that they are the same
tests run by Contribute, i doubt that to be the case since these
pass but Contribute fails.
I have tried this with the site root and _mm folder set to
permissions of 777 with no luck. I am able to connect and edit
successfully with Dreamweaver and FTP with Transmit (Mac OS X).
I'm about out of things to try and my deadline to train the
client is coming up. Any further insight on this would sure be
appreciated!

Hello Friends,
I am new to struts & jsp.I am developing a project in struts.I have 1 jsp page called editProfile.jsp.On submitting this page it will call 1 action class.The action class in turn will call the Plain old java class where I have written the logic for updating User Profile.
I have created context-param in web.xml for database connection information like dbURL , dbUserName , dbPassword , jdbcDriver.Now I want to use these connection information in my Business logic(Plain Old Java Class).As we can use context parameter only in jsp & servlets , I am setting the variables of my business logic class with these context param in jsp itself.
now when I am calling the updateProfile method of Business logic class from Action class it is giving error as all the connection variables which I set in jsp for my business logic class has become null again.
I am not getting.If once I have set those variables how come they are becoming null again???Please help me.Any Help will be highly appreciated.Thanx in advance.
