G5 iMac OS 10.4.8 won't remember passwords

My computer won't remember passwords, even though I click the appropriate box. Microsoft Entourage is the program where ethis is most inconvenient. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Beverly

You're not alone.
I had to buy a card reader yesterday. This is obviously a 10.4.8 / 6.0.5 issue.

ITunes 10.6 won't remember passwords for podcasts

Ever since I upgraded to 10.6, iTunes won't remember passwords for any premium podcasts, even when I check the "remember credentials" box. Every time I start iTunes, on the first podcast list refresh, I have to enter all the usernames and passwords again. Any ideas?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't remember passwords

HI everyone,
my ipod touch used to remember passwords, then I had to change some that expired, so I told it to 'forget' passwords, now it won't remember the new ones!
how can I fix that?
thank you

well, that didn't fix it.
it is more frustrating because the right side letters don't type o portrait orietation, and the school logon screen doesn't go to landscape when I turn it, so I have put my passwords and school id in the notepad so I can copy and paste everyday I am at school
new suggestion??

Keychain won't remember passwords

after upgrading to SL the keychain no longer wants to remember any passwords.
this is effecting ALL passwords, both online and off. The ones already in the keychain do not work anymore.
Any assistance is much appreciated
Thanks

am really disappointed in the inability to solve problems by your staff
LOL, After waiting less than three hours? Pay us the minimum wage, at least.
Wrote this five minutes ago on the other board:
Any backup? *Tried Keychain First Aid?* Firefox passwords are in signons.sqlite and key.db. Don't know about Safari. Which Mail? If Mail.app, only passwords I know about are in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Do you mean those? I think we need more information. How did you do the upgrade? Did you install over something or Migrate?

ICal won't remember passwords correctly

We're having problems with iCal not saving login information for subscribed calendars correctly.
At my workplace each employee publishes their calendars to a private server (Not MobileMe). Each employee then subscribes to the calendars of the other employees as needed.
The calendars are password protected. We maintain an internal web page with a list of the calendars available, and links that the employees can click on.
When adding a new calendar, a employee clicks on a link webcal://server/Calendars/name.ics in Safari, which causes iCal to launch an ask if you want to subscribe to the calendar.
After clicking subscribe, iCal asks for a username and password.
Then, you get the options window where you can choose a name for the calendar and set auto-update options and so on. The calendar has in the mean time been downloaded and is displayed in the background.
On the next refresh of the calendar, a warning sign appears next to the calendar.
At this point, a new entry has been added to the keychain. The address is http://server/Calendars/name.ics, and the username and password is correct as verified by using Apple's keychain tool.
Clicking on the warning sign in iCal results in a request for a username and password. The message is (translated to English) "Updating the calendar "Name" failed. The server rejected the username or password".
According to the server logs, it looks as if iCal tries to connect without a username and password after the calendar has been downloaded the first time.
I've found two solutions:
1. Change the address of the subscribed calendar to webcal://username@server/Calendars/name.ics
2. Click on the warning sign, and type in the username and password again.
#1 causes iCal to start using the keychain item added during the initial subscription to the calendar.
#2 causes iCal to add a second keychain item, with the address webcal://server/Calendars/name.ics
#2 also adds the username to the address of the subscribed calendar, so that the address becomes the same as in solution #1.
All our Macs (PPC/Intel) running Leopard 10.5.4 have this issue when adding new calendars.
Anyone experienced something like this?

If you are storing on your computer, arther than a sharing service, the issues are limited to your computer.
The most frequent problems are related to file permissions -- it cannot get the required permissions to store your preferences.
Run Disk Utility.
The most helpful operation Disk Utility does is ( Repair Disk ). That is a good idea. If you can only ( Verify Disk ) that is OK, as long as there are no un-fixable errors.
For this partiucular problem, you should also ( Repair Permissions ). It may list many messages, all of which can be ignored unless they appear in RED.

Private browsing SUDDENLY won't remember passwords

Its been fine for a year, really, and now today, Safari 5.0.1 will no longer remember passwords when I'm in private mode.
any ideas??
thanks in advance

Not sure, but isn't this supposed to be the ideal function of private mode; not saving your passwords or any other entered data?

Leopard mail won't remember passwords

For some strange reason Leopard mail doesn't seem to want to save any of our passwords to any of our accounts. We've gone into +mail preferences+ and saved them there, but as soon as we close down mail it 'forgets' them again. We've also repaired the keychain, but the same thing happens.
Anyone know of how to fix a password memory problem to get the passwords to 'stick' in mail?

{quote:title=henrikloenn wrote:}If I had an aquarium my mini would be in it.{quote}
LOL Thanks for the chuckle, we needed it
{quote}I've been at this for two weeks now and my keychains are unresponsive even after reparing permissions, starting over with a clean keychain and even a new user.{quote}
Yep, we've done the same with no results. Our problem has actually become WORSE over time - now it even asks us to put in the main keychain password, then it asks for each individual e-mail account password
{quote}It's crazy that they've managed to screw this up so badly.{quote}
I know. What is most upsetting to us is that Mail was not broken. For as long as we've used Tiger it has worked flawlessly. Then Leopard comes out and adds a few cosmetic type features to Mail and the whole ball of wax becomes a mess. Very disappointing to say the least.

Keychain Won't Remember Passwords Anymore

For some reason, Keychain doesn't seem to be remembering my passwords for Mac Mail and File Maker Pro. I ran Keychain Access First Aid and it said there was no problems found.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks to everyone that helped me with this problem.
Luckily, on my own, I figured out that resetting the keychain would fix the problem.

I have an iMac 5.1 which is running OSx10.5.8 - it runs very slowly and I can't find if there is a particular problem. In the process, I have tried to install 10.6 [I have a new iMac] and the 5.1 won't accept the install discs.

As you have discovered... you cannot use the install discs from another Mac...

Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD. Some have it on the Disc #2.
The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

Try restarting first. This fixes a lot of issues after installing Mavericks.
If you have an iCloud account, you might want to uncheck Contacts in System Preferences > iCloud. Does contacts open now? If it's Gmail, Yahoo or other account that syncs contacts, uncheck in System Preferences > Internet Accounts.

I have Premier Elements 12 and recently changed my computer to an iMac. I want to re-register my software on the iMac but the Adobe system won't let me. Anyone have an answer? Cheers Brian

I did not see your post 4 until after I had posted just now.
That is one of the drawbacks related to purchasing Premiere Elements as a download from Adobe...the download is specific to the Windows or Mac operating system to which it is downloaded. So all you have purchased that way are the installation files and a serial number for Premiere Elements 12 Windows. If you had purchased Premiere Elements 12 in the box packaging, that comes with a disc for Windows and a disc for Mac.
How long ago did you purchase Premiere Elements 12 Windows? If within 30 days of purchase, you can look into a 30 day money back from Adobe. But you cannot purchase the box packaging from Adobe. It only offers the download purchase from it. You would have to buy from an authorized reseller if you wanted the boxed purchase.
The way it is now, you will need to purchase new installation files and serial number for Premiere Elements 12 for your iMac.
That is the situation that I believe exists. More information if needed.

IMac in Target Disk mode won't mount on Mac Pro via Firewire

My iMac (intel Core 2 Duo) won't start up - it has the question mark in a folder icon.
I can't find the Apple Snow Leopard disk, so I've started it in Target Disk mode, connected it to my Mac Pro, but it doesn't mount on the Mac Pro even though it appears in System Profiler on the Mac Pro.
Both running 10.6.8
Can I force it to mount? I have tried front & back firewire ports and restarted several times to no avail.
I'm hoping to repair the iMac disk using Disk Utility or Diskwarrior on the Mac Pro, but need it to mount first.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I want to copy everything off the iMac before re-installing Snow Leopard & starting again.
I do not have a backup of the computer (I've had a backup hard drive on order for 7 weeks that has been delayed due to the shortages...) I am aware that this is very stupid of me.
The disk is obviously in very bad shape as Disk Utility can't do anything with it.
Diskwarrior v4.2 on a DVD will make a 'Preview' of a directory of it, but will not 'Replace' the directory as the disk is damaged.
1. Does anyone know how to make a startup DVD of Diskwarrior v4.4 (I have the v4.4 update but can't find out how to make a new startup DVD using the old v4.2 DVD and the software v4.4 update) and I think Alsoft must now be on holiday as they're not answering... (I would like to use v4.4 as it should be more capable).
2. Assuming I can get Diskwarrior (hopefully on a new v4.4 DVD) to make a 'Preview' again of the iMac directory, how do I copy everying off the computer? My only guess is to connect my Mac Pro in target mode to the iMac. Will the Mac Pro disk show up in the 'Preview' directory & therefore allow me to copy all of it's contents across to the target mode disk?
3. Assuming all the above works, is there a best way to copy all of the iMac contents to a folder in the Mac Pro? i.e. is there a way of Carbon Copying it so that after wiping the disk I can simply copy it all back? Or is it all too late for that
THANK YOU very much for any help.
