Google 2 Step Verification on Gmail causing 10.9 issues with iCloud Keychain Sync?

Hi
I have just installed 10.9 on my Air 2011 and it works fine. I signed up the iCloud Keychain sync. I also updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.3 and also signed up for iCloud keychain sync. All appeared well until I set up my iMac 2009. This had the same email accounts setup but as POP not IMAP (my bad) and so I ended up with multiple email account copies everywhere. I corrected this on each device without issue. Managed to lock an exchange account for work but I can sort that through IT support tomorrow. Anyway an issue with my Gmail cropped up. As I have 2 step verification enabled I have application specific passwords for each device. Now I found that the iMac (last to move to 10.9) propagated its app specific password to the Air and then locked the Gmail access out. If I correct on the Air it propagates back to the iMac locking that out of my Gmail account.
So iCloud Keychain sync only seems to support one password for each email account.
The only option I can see is disable 2 step on gmail and revert to my account password rather than an app specific password.
Has anyone had a similar issue?
Has anyone managed to get a solution where gmail 2 step can be retained?
Is there a way to block certain accounts from participating in the iCloud Keychain sync?
Is there a way to force the same app specific password on multiple gmail accessing devices?
Any help welcomed.
Thanks

Yep. My other iMac works now too on App specific passwords and iCloud Keychain sync. So that is my iPad, iPhone, Mac Pro, Air, iMac 2012 all working fine on Gmail App Specific passwords. Just my iMac 2009, presume its my bad and in need of a revoke. Sorry for wasting all your time.

Hello, Kutoz.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is some information that you may find helpful with this issue.
I'm not receiving the verification code via SMS.
Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
Make sure that your phone number can receive SMS messages. You can do this by asking someone to send you a text message.
Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, you can contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help completing iCloud Keychain setup.

Two step verification in Canada SMS does not work with Telus

Just saw the announcement that Two step verification for your Apple account is now available to Canada.
http://www.macnn.com/articles/13/05/10/option.will.appear.automatically.in.accou nt.details/
Tried to sign up, unfortunately after many attempts and testing with a few different phones it appears that Apples SMS server is not connected with Telus mobility as the messages never come through to any of my phones on the Telus network.
So maybe the announcement is a little premature.

False start.
The option to sign up for two step verification has now been removed again.
I guess they have to get the SMS feature working first.
Here is a request. Apple can you implement the industry standard time based authentication protocol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238
Same one is being used by:
Google
Dropbox
Lastpass
Microsoft
Amazon AWS
Then you can use one of the many apps available for smartphones and support users who want something secure but that does not require SMS or an apple hardware device to login to their apple id.

Google CONTACT sync with iCloud Contact sync?!

i am trying to finalize a sync of my contacts so that i have PHONE NUMBERS sorted in groups on my iPhone but i /also/ have email addresses to use in the autocomplete function in Mail on my phone.
if i don't have the Phone Numbers sorted into groups i will not be able to find anything and if i don't have emails in the autocomplete then i have to literally run a search in (what i have found to be a weak search function on the iPhone in Mail) then i have to find an email sent from this person, then i have to COPY the address than i have to paste it into an email.
i /currently/ have a sync using iCloud of my MOST IMPORTANT phone numbers and the "Previous Recipients" email data that i have run a applescript to get into AB/Contacts. So now the phone numbers and this Previous Recipients data is available to all devices.
i won't bore you with the details but i am finally uploading everything else (business cards etc, etc) to Google Contacts.
does anyone have any suggestions at this point as to whether i can ADD a sync with Google presumably by checking something in iTunes OR whether there is a way to add a GMail as a Microsoft Exchange Account?

http://www.maciverse.com/add-gmail-contacts-to-ios-5.html
SHOULD I JUST EXPORT MY CONTACTS/ADDRESS BOOK DATA and import it to Google and just do a Google sync?
CAN I DO BOTH SYNCS AT THE SAME TIME?
WILL THE GOOGLE DATA SHOW UP in autocomplete in MAIL on all my devices?
anyone done this in a way that works?!
THANKS

Preference -> Accounts
Under accounts you have your local On My Mac account, which Apple supplies the ability to sync with google and yahoo. Then there is no way to sync it with icloud. When you add your icloud account as well you just have 2 seperate address books in the same app, with no way to keep them in sync.
Do you mean like this?
I don't seem to be having any issue adding an iCloud account to address book.

OES Client causes XML Parser Issue with Spring 3 Framework WAR

Dear All,
OES Client has been installed in the linux OS and configured JAVA SM in it. Have executed the sample webpage in the tomcat server which contains the 'PepResponse' of getting the authorization value (TRUE / FALSE) and it works fine.
Code snippet:-
PepResponse result = PepRequestFactoryImpl.getPepRequestFactory().newPepRequest(user, action, resourceString, null).decide();
out.println("Result: "+ result.allowed());
It returns the proper value if I mention the oes-client.jar classpath reference in the tomcat classpath settings, but at the same time the existing spring framework WAR file is not deployed in the tomcat. The same WAR file is deploying properly if I remove the classpath reference of oes-client.jar from the tomcat configuration.
The issue causes because of xmlparser2.jar(oracle.xdk11.1.1.1) in the oes client.
Have tried all the alternate approaches and failed to execute both the code together.
Note:- One of the approach, I have tried to copy xcersImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar in the WEB-INF/lib within the war file and also executed oes authorization sample web page simultaneously with referred oes-client.jar classpath reference. The WAR file is started deploy properly and OES Authorization sample webpage has thrown 'Null Pointer Exception'.
Anyone, please suggest how to resolve the JAR conflict issue between the OES Client and Spring Framework WAR.

Google added as Exchange Account (mail, contacts, cal), issues with contact #'s resolving to Names.

Google added as exchange account (mail, contacts, calendar), all works except contact correlation. Meaning somebody calls me, it's in the contact list but does not show name just the #. Same for outbound calls..search contacts, tap #, phone shows I'm dialing # versus contact name. This is completely goofy. I had a previous emplorers Exchange account working perfectly before I had to delete it. I removed all email accounts from iPhone and started fresh with adding Google as Exchange 'type' account.

Ok I fixed this problem. Within Google under contacts I had imported 1,200+ contacts and they all showed up there, on my iPad and iPhone. But on the phone name and # would not correlate. I discovered that by editing a contact (within Google contacts page) it would mark it as 'My Contacts' in addition to being Imported on xx/xx/xx. Once I did this, magically my iphone call log would display the name of the contact I edited/reclassified as 'My Contacts'. So I reclassified all the contacts as 'My Contacts' and now have full functionality. End of **** story and hope this helps somebody else.

Will Apple ID 2-step span across my entire iCloud, similar to how the Google Authenticator will protect Gmail, Blogger, Drive, etc? Right now it only prevents purchases or account changes.

I would like to use iCloud services more, but I prefer the security of the Google Authenticator 2-step system. I just installed the Apple ID 2-step, but was disappointed to learn that it only prevents account changes and purchases. It will not stop people from accessing your iCloud email or seeing your contacts or any other services you may have with Apple.
Will the Apple ID 2-step take steps to be like the Google Authenticator?

The Apple ID & 2-step verification doesn't stop one from logging into iCloud from a browser and then access/delete adderss book info etc. It is frustrating that Apple turned on 2-step but has nothing to extend or implement it for iCloud. When I called their tech support I was told that it will be rolled out shortly. Until such time the 2 step in place is pretty much useless.

Unable to turn on two-step verification

I thought that I had turned on two-step verification but when I check System Preferences > iCloud > Account Details > Security I see "Two-Step Verification: Off"
So I go to My Apple ID > Password and Security but don't see any Two-Step Verification like I'm told to select at the Support site.
I wonder if two-step verification actually is turned on but System Preferences > iCloud > Account Details > Security is wrong when it says it is off. Any ideas?
All my SW is up to date.

On mine it correctly shows as being on at System Preferences > iCloud > Account Details etc (didn't even know I could see that there until I saw your post).
Yu can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click the "Manage your Apple ID" button. If 2 step is working it will ask for your password and then when you click the "Sign in" button it will ask you to choose a trusted device (for the code to be sent to allow you to complete the sign in).

2nd Step Verification for Skype account login?

Hi
I am just wondering if there is any way you can enable 2nd Step verification on Skype?
There is many websites like Facebook which enable you to have a 2nd step verification on your account when you login with your password, for example you would be asked to enter a code which is usually sent to your mobile phone or a phone call with the code for you to be able to login with your account, I can see this is possible with a Microsoft account but I can find no way to do this with just using a Skype username.
Maybe Skype should give there users the option to do this so it will make accounts more secure and will enable less chances for a person to compromise a Skype account.
I can see you can link your Microsoft account to your Skype username
does anyone know if this will somehow enable 2nd Step Verification for a Skype username login NOT a microsoft account login.

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Skype accounts do not offer 2 factor authentication. Also linking to a Microsoft account doesn't inherit that functionality from the Microsoft one to the Skype one.
If you are planning to create a new Skype account in the near future we strongly recommend going for a Microsoft account based on because of that.

WARNING: iOS upgrade pitfall: iCloud Keychain deleted because incompatible with Google Voice

If the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain is a Google Voice number, the verification code Apple tries to send via SMS to this phone number will not arrive. When I contacted Apple Support, after upgrading my iPhone to 7.0.4, because I did not get the verification code, they did not help me complete iCloud Keychain setup, other than to guide me through steps that would delete my keychain and force me to start over.)

At some point, you reset your keychain to default in Keychain Access. That caused your login keychain to be renamed.
Back up all data.
In Keychain Access, delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Keychains
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. Rename the file "login.keychain" in that folder to something like "login-old.keychain". Rename the file "login_renamed_1.keychain" to "login.keychain". You can then close the folder.
Back in Keychain Access, select
          File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file you named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.

Automatically Synch Gmail with iCloud?

Hej all! I have sync my iPhone Contacts with iCloud and Gmail contacts. How can I automatically Synch Gmail Contacts or iPhone Contacts with iCloud. Let me put it in simple way. When I add new contact to my iPhone contacts it is added automatically to my Gmail Contacts and vice verca but not to iCloud Contacts, and when I add new contact to iCloud it doesn't come to my iPhone or Gmail Contact? How can it be done automatically with iCloud Contacts too, so when I add contact to iPhone Contact or Gmail Contact or iCloud Contact, it should be added to my other contacts too?
I have iPhone 5s.

Well, the standard way is to set up IMAP access to your GMail (you do this in webmail, under "Settings / Forwarding and POP/IMAP". You then configure Mail.app with the correct IMAP settings.

I would like to know if using a auto charger on my iPhone 6 plus will reduce the battery life or cause any other issues.

i would like to know if using a auto charger on my iPhone 6plus will reduce the battery life or cause any other issues with my phone.

An alternative is to use a 12v USB power plug and then just use the standard lightning cable to connect with a length of your choice ( to some degree)
Same rules apply use a premium manufacturer rather than a cheap no-name from eBay

I keep getting texts with new icloud keychain verification numbers

I have received three texts in the last several hours to my iphone indicating "Your icloud keychain verification number is xxxxxx"
I haven't requested this number to be changed. I have, however, just returned to the US from Mexico. Does this mean somebody is trying to hack into my icloud? If so, what can I do to stop it?
Thank you.

Problem with using Google 2 step verification and iCal

Hi,
Does anyone here use Google 2 step verification? If so, how have you gotten it to work with iCal? I am doing the steps just as Google says to do them (generate an application-specific password and enter that password instead of my regular Google password) but I keep getting an error message. I was able to set up Gmail in the Mail app just fine with the Google 2 step verification application-specific password. I am not sure why iCal is giving me problems. I have searched Google and can't really find a good answer or a step by step solution. I am running Lion. I hope someone can help me. Thank you.
Leann

One note: I have many calendars in my google calendar. In order to make all those calendars sync as well, I had to follow the above steps plus:
launch iCal
open Settings -> Account
click the appropriate Google CalDAV account
select the delegation tab
enable all the appropriate calendars that you want sync'd with iCal
close Settings
confirm calendars now show up in Calendar List
Refresh All, this should cause all the added calendars to fail, one will even pop-up a password dialog box.
Paste in the generated google password from the initial steps and click OK
Click each of the error triangles in turn, pasting in the password into the dialog box that pops up and click OK
refresh all and cofirn they all sync now
