Help for keychain **** er

A few weeks ago, I was having some trouble with keychain. I've never understood how it worked very well, so I hit the "reset" button. Worst mistake I've ever made!
Now, many times when I try to do something I get a
"System Preferences want to use the 'login' keychain", or "dotmacsyncclient wants to use the 'login' keychain", or whatever app "wants to use the 'login' keychain".
I've entered every password I've ever used (that I can remember) and the prompt just tells me it's the wrong password. I would've assumed that the 'login keychain' would be my account login password, but no.
Once I did get this error message... "There was a problem saving to your keychain. Please try again or use Keychain Access to verify your keychain. Error: -128"
I've tried going back in time machine and restoring the file but nothing seems to change. I'm not sure I'm doing that correctly either.
Any help would sure be appreciated. Obviously I can't sync to anything with this going on which is a problem for me.
Thanks.

Hi Lutonpete,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving repeated prompts for different “Local Items” keychain passwords and know how frustrating this situation can be. There is a solution to this issue however. Please use the steps and information in the attached article to resolve this issue.

Changed iCloud phone number; not updated for keychain response after 3 days.

Hi,
I was correcting a keychain error that can occur (it seems) that asks for about 10-15 local keychain password checks upon booting.
That issue is logged in the forum and easy to correct.
What subsequently was required was resetting my keychains on my devices that required the security code challenge.
Since neither of my pad or macbook are authorised to counter-authorise, I need to go via my registered phone number.
All pretty basic stuff.
So, when I realise that the security code message is being sent to my OLD cell-number I change it on my iCloud and expect it to change in my account and the entire system within 15-30 minutes, which would be quite normal and go from there.
I was wrong.
Since changing my phone number, which is still maintained on my iCloud account, I still get the system request stating the message is being sent to my old number.
Yes, I have logged out of all my iCloud activities and rebooted and logged-in again to see if that has anything to do with it. To avail.
Now it has been 3 days and the old number still appears in the security code request process on all devices on all panes that can be used..
Any ideas???

Using iCloud (for calendar and contacts) AND MobileMe for Keychain

Does anyone who's migrated to iCloud know if it's possible to sync Address Book and Calendar through iCloud and the Keychain through MobileMe (on a separate account)?
Situation is as follows:
I have two accounts - one MobileMe (which I use today for calendar and contact syncing) and an Apple ID (which I used for iTunes)
I wish to convert the iTunes account to an iCloud account
That leaves me with my un-converted MobileMe which I'd like to continue to use for Keychain syncing until Apple puts that functionality in iCloud or they retire MobileMe.
I guess - the nub of the question is - is it still possible to access the MobileMe preference pane and put in a different account when iCloud is up and syncing?
Thanks in advance, Jonathan.

SaltSeaShark,
I've looked at the iDisk and there's no way to do it automatically. However when you're back at your home iMac, you can copy the files that you find in ~/Library/Keychains onto your iDisk. Then when you're at your friend's iMac, you can copy the *.keychain files in your iDisk to the ~/Library/Keychain folder on your friend's machine (in the account that you're using).
That way - you can open your keychain locally - although it won't sync backwards and forwards. An alternative is to use a third-party product such as 1Password - of which there's an iPad app - as well as a web interface (when combined with Dropbox).
Hope that helps - Jonathan.

Safari keeps asking for Keychain Access

Everytime I use Safari after some time it asks for Keychain access. I disabled the autofill forms feature already, but it does not stop asking. Does anybody know how to keep Safari from doing this without disabling the password protection of my keychain?
Honestly said, this erraneous behaviour keeps me from using Safari as Firefox does not make such strange attempts to use Keychain.

I didn't think before reading this discussion to be related, but now I tend to believe it may be. I've recently started using Papers.app and to get access to some publications under institutional subscription I have to configure both Papers.app and Safari to be authenticated connecting to Internet through my institution's proxy. The problem is that now the keychain access manager keeps asking authorization every now and then what really has become a heavy nuisance, not only occurring while a keep Safari open, but also while using any other application which try to connect to the Internet such as iTunes or Fission.app. Before I started using Papers.app I had devoted one browser to download articles nder subscription in order to limit such nuisance to the time I was browsing them. However, using Papers.app I've been forced to configure Safari to that purposes, reproducing the annoying effects every time I open any application which are connecting to the Internet. I posted a message in the Papers.app but nobody has replied so far. I thought of changing the browser used by Papers.app would help, unfortunately, I couldn't find any way to get so. Now that it seems there is a way to prevent the system from asking for keychain access, it may fix the problem. This is the message I posted in Papers' Support Forum. I'd really appreciate any help or suggestion:
Can Papers.app use a different browser other than Safari to get authentication from my institution's proxy?
I am at the University of Barcelona (UB), Spain, we also have an automatic proxy-cache configuration URL (like johnraekwon at the U of Manchester)
http://www.bib.ub.edu/pac/proxy.pac
Every time I open the browser I've configured to connect through your University proxy, I get a drop down menu to authenticate with and then I proceed to the URL I head to, only now with UB credentials. More or less like johnraekwon has to do.
Unfortunately this aunthentication doesn't last for long, you are often requested to authenticate again and again. This nuisance made me decide to devote a browser different from the default browser to download articles, and it's being working rather satifactorily while I only used that browser to download papers from the Internet.
Now that I tried configuring Papers.app to download those articles which requiring subscription I've found that it only works as long as Safari is configured in the same way, that is, it has to authenticated by the proxy to get access to the Internet. I wouldn't mind using Safari exclusively to browse papers. The problem is that most other applications are also using Safari as default browser and it doesn't seem it can be changed, among them iTunes, which I usually open to download podcasts. Since I've configured Safari to get access through my institution's proxy, it keeps asking me to authenticate, and halting every task in process by doing so.
For most purposes I don't need to get authorized access, so I wish my default browser not being configured in such a painful manner.
I'd like to know whether I can change some of Papers.app options to replace Safari as default browser by, I say, Firefox, therefore limiting those repetitive authentications to just the time I'm browsing papers. It let Safari idle to be configured as a default browser to smoothly work for other purposes such as iTunes.
Thanks for the interest. Any idea will be welcomed.

My mac is constantly asking for keychain passwords

Almost every 10 minutes my mac asks for a keychain password, ex. calendar, addressbook, outlook,etc. Can someone please help me get rid of this, thanks.

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.

Why so many requests for keychain password in osx mountain lion

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have been deluged with requests for keychain login password (which is the same as my user password). I was getting requests from assistantd (sic) as well as osx itself. I think the assistantd requests have stopped since I turned off dictation and facetime. I have verified the keychain and even ran repair keychain even though verify found no problems. Ideas?

I have encountered the same issue. I upgraded to 10.8 from 10.6.9 days ago, and I receive a keychain password request every 10-15 minutes (I know this after recording them in an effort to determine the issue). The requests vary, and are not perfectly timed. I went to a local Apple Store yesterday to request some help, and a Genius repaired my keychain, zapped my PRAM, and booted from the 10.8 startup partition to run the following on my startup HD: Disk Utility repair, Disk Permissions repair, and resetpassword from the terminal. These did not stop the keychain requests.
There's no corresponding message or trigger listed in the Console. I have noticed the following message occur sometimes within ~3 minutes after a keychain request:
8/5/12 3:33:42.154 PM assistantd[6226]: <Error>: AceConnection - NSStreamEventErrorOccurred <__NSCFInputStream: 0x7fe2ac027520>, error = Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=54 "The operation couldn’t be completed. Connection reset by peer", domain = NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code = 54

8/5/12 3:33:42.178 PM assistantd[6226]: <Error>: Daemon - Session Error Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=54 "The operation couldn’t be completed. Connection reset by peer"
And if I refuse to provide the keychain password, the following errors are logged in Console:

Any ideas from anyone? It's actually difficult to work with all of these keychain requests.

Keychain First Aid won't repair and will ask me for keychain agent password

Hi everyone:
Background: I changed my Apple Id password after updating to OS X Mavericks. Soon after that, OS X sometimes asks me for keychain password (not always), sometimes at the beginning and when I use Safari, or try to access to Icloud (which I can only access online on safari) through system preferences.
Problem #1:
- When I use First Aid Keychain and enter my User name and password, two options appear: Verify and Repair.
- If I hit verify, some things appear in black, some other in red and some in blue, the following things appear:
    In red:
         ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (is not a valid keychain file).
   In Blue:
        Keychain password of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (100022) not verified
       Adjustments of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (100022) were not read (couldn´t been read)
In Red
        ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (-25295) was not opened (couldn´t been opened)
Problems have been found. Select repair.
Verification error.
- Then, if i hit repair It will ask me "for keychain agent password".
And honestly I never (that I remember) created a keychain agent password. Where can i find that?, what kind of password is that? What I know is that it is not my Apple Id password or anything close to it.
Problem #2
- If try try to restore my default keychain by selecting Preferences - General, it will tell me that the "keychain has not been found". And wont restore anything.
I must say that I have read many of the discussions available and many of Apple suggested solutions, and nothing seems to help.
Any help would be deeply apreciated.
Best regards. (Sorry for my english, not a native speaker, my computer is in spanish and did my best to translate what I have seen)

Hi John (it´s me again sorry!)
I did what you suggested using Safe Mode (I actually did it following http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204 for oS X Mavericks).
I followed the same steps that I have done before;
- Before deleting I used First aid Keychain and what I got was the following:
- Then I hit repair and I got the following:
- After that I decided to delete Login Keychain (the empty square), it was gone. I restarted my computer in normal mode. Once I did that what I see now is the following:
- Maybe I missed something, and I still cant see the padlock in login, and no way no decipher whats going on.
PERHAPS THE FOLLOWING IS RELATED:
- If try log into ICloud through System Preferences the following pops up after entering my Apple ID and Password:
- If I select Reset to Defaults I get the following (even if I select cancel):
- And after that I get the following:
Could that be related? Thank you very much again and sorry for too many images.
All the best!

Creating search help for a field in AdHoc Query

For the object-id field the users want search help when choosing this field for selection.
Using "start via selection screen" does not give a good solution.
Can anyone explain how I can create search help for fields in an infoset?

Need to restrict values in F4 help for Batch Characteristic

Hi,
I need to restrict values in F4 Help for a batch characteristic based on values entered for another characteristic. I could not find any BADI or Exit for this purpose. There is a BADI CACL_VALUE which is triggered after an entry is selected from dropdown list but nothing when we press F4. I thought of using Object Dependency but I need to write a programming logic for the requirement. Please let me know if there is any way to write program in Object Dependency or any other way for this requirement.

Hi nikhil simha,
first of all, find out which search help is called.
[Hierarchy of the Search Help Call|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0b/32e9b798da11d295b800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm]
may help you.
If you know the search help, you may enhance it, but first of all you should check the where-used-list and make sure that the search help shows the requested behavior only in the context where you want it to.
If it is your own program, you may be better off to create your own search help and define the triggering fields as search help interface input fields. Then you can use the values to filter results.

Dear Hema,
Could you please tell me how many internal tables you are using to store the data for display.
I observerd that you have lt_stock and lt_mat2 declared in the part of the program
>DATA: lv_stock TYPE lty_stock.
>DATA: ltmat2 TYPE TABLE OF lty_mat.
you have displayed above, however you are also using ls_stock and lv_stock .
>IF p_ztotal = ' '. "line
>WRITE 18 ls_stock-matnr.
>WRITE 38 lv_stock-strgr.
>
>ELSEIF ztotal = 'S'.                             "subtotal
    >WRITE: 15 ls_stock-nrmit.
    >WRITE 32 lv_stock-dispo.
    >WRITE 43 lv_stock-fevor.
>ELSE.                                            "total
    >WRITE: 15 'TOTAL'(016), ls_stock-prgrp.
>
>ENDIF.
Are those for displaying some other information?
Also the problem of display you are facing can also be because there are no records to be displayed which satisfies the selection criteria.
Best Regards,
Rajesh.
Please reward points if found helpful.
