Look in <youraccount>/Library/Keychains to see what keychain files you have. You should see at least "login.keychain". Move that (or one of the others) elsewhere for safekeeping, then try to retrieve an older version with Time Machine.

How to restore keychain?

I was having problems logging into my iMac after sleep (I enter a password after a set interval), so it was suggested I reset my default keychain. That worked, but now all my Transmit passwords are gone. The message when I reset says "Your current default keychain will be moved aside, but not deleted."
Moved where? I don't see anything in the keychain list that looks like my old keychain.

Sorry. I don't see any file with "old" in it.
Do you see any keychains at all?
Could I replace the "login.keychain" file with the one from my old drive?
You can try. Obviously I don't know what the condition of the file is. If it's corrupt, it may not work.

Deleted private data keychain passwords, 10.6.8, how to restore?

I was trying to delete a couple and somehow deleted all of them so all my passwords and certs are gone. I've searched for a restore option, but only found options for newer versions or options that don't seem to work. Can someone walk me through how to restore my private data encrypted passwords on my Macbook Pro? Thanks

This issue has been solved. Someone on another group advised be to do the following:
1. *Copy* the relevant user from the TM backup to the laptop.
2. Use a slightly older version of the user.
When I did this, I was able to recover almost everything.

Creation of a new Keychain Entry (Internet password) for Apple Mail

I am working on a Mail Assistant to set up a new Mail Account for Apple Mail.
My problem concerns the creation of the Keychain Entry for the POP Account with which Apple Mail is set up (by my custom Mail Assistant).
I am able to create a Keychain Entry with all relevant User Data, the Keychain Entry also appears to be valid (I ran the Keychain First Aid Tool to check it), but when I start the Apple Mail App, it does not recognise the created Keychain entry, but is asking me to enter the Password for the POP Account which I set up successfully.
Any help is appreciated for giving me a hint of how Apple Mail recognises or links respectively to its adherent Keychain Entry.
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Couple of things to try Theo...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

How to restore my imac from a time capsule

My iMac had its OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks fully deleted and reinstalled in the Aple Store in Haarlem Netherlands yesterday.
Seen severe corruption problems of my KeyChain log-in codes.
Everything restored from iCloud was fully OK such as Contacts, Calendar, Mail, Notes.
But I lost all my iTunes data and iPhoto data, MS Ofiice data such as Word, Excel, etc.
My iMac however was connected through WiFi to a Time Capsule but I really do not know if the Time Capsule was ever set to ON under System Preferences. Or was it simply always set to OFF on my iMac.? .......
Question 1 : How can I find out directly on my Time Capsule if a separate Volume was ever made for this iMac ? And how can I restore that volume - if I find it back - to my iMac ?.
Time Capsule Program on my restored iMac seems to be fully empty. Last date is yesterday and nothing before.
Question 2 : When I connect my iMac directly through Ethernet cable to my Time Capsule I do not know how to find and retrieve (restore) the speciic volume for my iMac.
Question 3 : how to delete the very old volumes directly on the Time Capsule which are not in use any more since years. ?
Question 4 : Any other suggetions for how to restore iPhoto and iTunes ? From iPhone, from iPod ? Let's not discuss Photostram here now.....
Thanks Apple Store - I seem to have a serious problem

Mavericks does nasty things to the Time Machine backups..
It tends to overwrite everything or certainly to hide it.
If the TM was not turned on, then it could not backup.
Let me recommend you spend the time reading the brilliant stuff Pondini wrote ..
He has specific info about restoring iphoto.
See here.. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
But read all the Questions, 14-17 so you understand how TM works..
The instructions for deleting old backups is Q12.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
But don't delete anything as you might at least get partial recovery from those files.
For a full restore or migration see this page.
http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
It includes setup and migration for OS up to Mountain Lion.
The guy who wrote all this info died before he had a chance to update it to Mavericks.. sadly.. he did a great service to the community.
Conclusion .. do not send stuff to Apple for repair before you make a disk image backup. Never trust Time Machine to do whole computer restores.. and Mavericks is a mess.

How to restore a user's calendar agenda

How to restore a user's Calendar agenda
When you delete users from LDAP and then re-add them to a Calendar node, they
will be assigned new nscalxitemid's.
However, if you have not run any of the tools for removing these
"orphan" entries, the old
nscalxitemid's should
still exist in the Calendar database.

To restore a user's agenda from the Calendar database, use the following steps:

<OL>
<LI>Use ldapsearch to
locate the user entries for the user who you are trying to restore.

Depending on what version of Directory Server you have, the
ldapsearch command line
utility will be in one of the following locations:

(Directory Server 3.x): 
ServerRoot/bin/slapd/server

(Directory Server 4.x): 
ServerRoot/shared/bin
To search for the user with the UserID "bbunny," the syntax for
ldapsearch would be as follows:

ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
-b o=netscape.com uid=bbunny | more (All on one line)

It is also possible to dump the output of this command into a file, as in the
following example:

ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
-b o=netscape.com uid=bbunny > bbunny.txt (All on one line)

The LDAP entry for a Calendar user would appear something as follows (Note:
 The Calendar attribute, nscalxitemid
is in bold, and the ID number
is in red):

dn: uid=bbunny,o=netscape.com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson

nscalrefreshprefs: 1:60
nscalnotifmechanism: 1
nscaltimezone: 0

In the line nscalxitemid: 10000:00257
, "10000" is the node number and
"00257" is the
calID number.
The number you will need to change is the
calID number,
"00257".

<LI>From the /unison/bin
directory for Calendar, run
unidsdiff
or ctxdirdiff (whichever
is available) to find the Calendar agenda that is missing an LDAP entry.

The syntax for these utilities will be as follows:

unidsdiff -n 10000
or
ctxdirdiff -n 10000

These utilities should list any entries that don't have a matching directory
entry, usually in the following format:

nscalxItemid="10000:00256" (S="Bunny",G="Bugs")

The ID number in red is the ID that you will
use to replace the ID number in the LDAP entry.

<LI>Use one of the following two options to update the LDAP entry:

Option#1:

<LI>Edit the file from the ldapsearch
output by changing the
nscalxitemid in this
file to the correct ID from the
unidsdiff/ctxdirdiff
output (from step 2 above).
<LI>Delete the user from LDAP.
<LI>Use ldapmodify to
re-add the user from the file you edited.
(ldapmodify is located
in the same directory as ldapsearch

For example,

ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -a -f filename
</UL>
Option#2:

<LI>Edit the file from the ldapsearch
output using update statements that
will update the LDAP entry without having to delete it.

For example, you can edit the output in step 1 above so that the file contains
only the following lines with the correct
nscalxitemid:

dn: uid=bbunny,o=netscape.com
changetype: modify
replace: nscalxitemid
nscaxitemid: 10000:00256

<LI>Use ldapmodify to
update the entry in the file, as follows:

ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -f filename
</UL>
</OL>
After performing the above steps, you can use
ldapsearch to locate
the entry and verify that it was changed. The user should now be
able to log into the Calendar Client and see her previous agenda entries.

Restoring Keychain Passwords When Reinstalling OS

I have keychain passwords enabled across all my devices - iMac running Mavericks, and iPad and iPhone running ios7. I chose not to set up a security code as I did not want my passwords stored in the Cloud.
My question is: if I need to completely reinstall my OS, or choose to do a clean install of a future update to OS such as Yosemite, how do I restore my keychain passwords without a security code?

Thanks for your response, PJRS, but if I were to do a clean install of, say, Yosemite I would almost certainly choose not to migrate my users from a TM backup. I would prefer to reinstall all my software from scratch and only restore data files from Time Machine (most are held on an external disk anyway). Could I still restore Keychain passwords from Time Machine in this instance (and if so where would I find them)?

After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

How to restore a workbook in a end-user's favorites?

Hello,
We have a enduser that overlayed a worksheet in a workbook that in their favorites. A request to restore the workbook from a given day has been submitted. The only thing I know is that the workbook exists in table RSRWORKBOOK. But how do you retore just that workbook? I mean table RSRWORKBOOK seems to have pointers to other objects?
Can anyone provide some assistance and insight?
Regards, Dean.

bizarre... as far as I know, all favorites are stored there
anyways, I think I misunderstood your initial question... I thought you wished to restore the entry in the Favorites, rather than restoring the workbook itself...
the latter looks quite impossible to me for once you overwrite ànd save the workbook, you change it permanently
there is still no "version management" on workbooks to my knowledge...
so if you really wish to restore, you indeed have to copy some tables from a backup (which I think is rather "tricky")... rsrworkbook merely gives you the link between aworkbook and it's related query/ies
what we sometimes do, is "copy" certain workbooks to the users' Favorites, that is done using SMEN_BUFFC

How to restore iTunes file

How to restore iTunes when the file is incomplete and does not present all information.

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
You may need to delete the entry completely from the library first before re-downloading or it will think the file is still on your computer.

Synch Exchange Keychain Entry to Login Keychain Automatically

I wish there was a Keychain Access preference that would enable me to tell a Keychain entry from an application to synchronize with the Login Keychain password automatically when changes occur.
This would fix so many problems I have with my Mac users. We use Exchange for mail and such. When Active Directory expires an account password, and the AD password is updated, then I wish the Mac Keychain would have this "magic" -- first to update itself to the new login password ---then go look for other applications that USED login credentials and update those as well.
I know about editing Keychain entries manually and I know about how to delete the Login KeyChain Files and References.
I know about changing network account passwords from System Preferences/Accounts. When done, you still have to manually edit the Exchange Keychain entry from Keychain Access.
Apple needs to improve its implementation of Active Directory to extend to application entries inside Keychain Access.
Do you guys know of any software that fills these gaps?
Scripts?
Thanks

So what you're saying is that it falls back on Microsoft to further improve Entourage to include SSO Exchange authentication?
Is there nothing I can do until then?
I wish I knew how other Mac managers have handled Exchange/AD password issues. Macwindows.com is somewhat vague in this regard.
All I can do is to continue to educate my users in how to manually control their network credentials. Most of them are okay with Exchange/AD. It becomes a chore for some. For a few I have to "hold their hand" -- guide them through it almost every day.
I find this dilemma most annoying.
Thanks for your input.

How to restore contact info, etc, in Address Book from a backup drive?

I accidentally deleted the entries (names, contact info, etc) in Address Book. My hard drive is fully backed up on another drive.
How do I replace the deleted contacts from my backup file? Or, how do I replace the current Address Book with the undamaged one on my backup drive?
Thanks.
Ed in Dallas

What kind of backup? If it's a TM backup then open Address Book and select Address Book Help from the Help menu. Search for "restore from time machine." You'll find an article on how to restore entries from a TM backup.
If this is simply a cloned backup then navigate to the /Home/Library/Application Support/ folder on the backup drive and copy the AddressBook folder to the same location on your hard drive.
Then navigate to /Home/Library/Preferences/ and copy the com.apple.addressbook.plist and com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist files from the backup to the same location on your hard drive.
Address Book must not be running.

How to restore back my contact when I accidentally delete on iCloud

How to restore back my contact when I accidentally delete on iCloud

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
