How to stop constant keychain login requests

I keep getting " Calendar agent wants to use "login" keychain " also with Mail too.
I'm new to Macs but I certainly want to stop this happening constantly.
Ta for any suggestions.

I have the same problem. I tried to click "reset my default keychain" though, and it said it couldn't obtain access to do that, then the login keychain disappeared totally. I had to do keychain first aid, which added a new empty login keychain, then I tried the "reset default" again, and the login keychain disappeared again.
I know how mine got broken: I forgot the password to get into my MacBook Pro, so I followed some sort of instructions to reset my Mac password.
I got back into the Mac, and everything was just as I left it, but now I'm getting non-stop requests like nross5's that Calendar agent, Mail agent, Safari, Local Items, etc. want to use login keychain.
I've tried doing keychain repair, changing the password, tried reseting to default as suggested by Dib, and I'm still getting these requests. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks,
Mandy

How to stop frequent keychain login password requests

This problem is very irritating, I’m getting asked frequently by OS X to enter a keychain login password. What I’ve read suggests this is related to a problem with Keychain Access. One explanation says it can be caused by an administrator account password change where the default keychain password does not change, resulting in an inconsistency. I have NOT changed my account password so I don’t think this is the cause of my problem.
I’ve also tried using Keychain Access First Aid, but it currently finds no problems.
In my case, this appears to have started after an upgrade from OS X Mavericks to Yosemite. When I did the upgrade, the first problem I encountered was Mail stopped working – I was unable to send or receive mail. I could, however, go to my mail provider at their web site and view mail there just fine. That problem was resolved by using Keychain Access First Aid - I can now use Apple Mail on my "Air" just fine, but I’m still being inundated with frequent requests to enter a keychain login password. I get these requests from Mail, AddressBookSourceSync, Messages Agent, Safari, Local Items, CalendarAgent, and com.apple.MailServiceAgent.xpc.
Once I enter my login password to 3-5 of these requests, I’m able to continue working on my Macbook Air, however once I close and reopen the lid of my Air, the requests start anew.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How can I prevent iCloud login requests?

On OS X 10.10.1, on every login I get two requests to login to iCloud. See the screen cap (email address obscured):
How can I prevent iCloud login requests appearing?
Is it a bug? I'm not an iCloud user. It's annoying and slows down the boot process.

It's a really bad idea to post your email address, even in an image - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

Does anyone know how to reset the Keychain login access when booting from disc?

I recently had Lion go bad on my Mac Pro (screen hung up with twirly grey circle). I tried unsuccessfully to repair permissions etc, so I decided to install Snow Leopard onto my other internal drive as this was the latest system I had on a disc; bootup with that and update to Lion.
After installation the machine restarted and asked me for the login user and password. I thought this was odd as usually it would ask to set this up when you first bootup; I can't get past the login. My question is how do I reset the keychain login access when booted m a disc or is there a default I can use?
Regards

I re-installed in the end and the usual load in screen came – all sorted...

How to Stop Finder WEBDAVFS from requesting .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files after Remotes File System Mount has happened?

Hi,
After I have mounted remote directory on Finder , Finder requests for all file types including .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files and all such files which is creating havoc to the performance of the Finder.
Case 1 : In one Directory I have 500 files+directories. When the Finder tries to fetch the directory content it is sending requests for even .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files and so the request count grows exponentially causing breakdown for Finder. Its taking 10 mins to load the directory. The same directory request when posted by Transmit by Panic it loads within 30 secs. Transmit do not send request for ._* files/directory.
I am rejecting request for all hidden file request but they keep on coming in thousands.
Case 2 : Finder tries to refresh the file listing whenever the Finder window is brought to Focus.
Any help is appreciated. When I try to use find for such files to delete I see no listing!
Used : ls -1aR /Volumes/InquiraWebDAV
To demostrate the problem please check example log :

HT5295 How to stop the app from requesting to download episodes

I transfer a list of specific episodes from iTunes. I have sync and autodownload and 4G turned off in settings, yet the app keeps asking me if I want to turn on cellular to download episodes. I only want the episodes in the playlist to show up, not any other episodes. How do I make the app confine itself to what I synced from iTunes only.

How to stop constant sound alerts?

I've turned off everything I can think of, but still getting contant sound alerts approx. every 30 secs.

You can disable sound at the same place in the Settings app. As far as taking the notification off completely, I guess Apple didn't give users an option to do that. There is no where else I was able to find an option that controls texting alerts. I thought that by doing what I wrote previously it would disable any pop-ups but I guess it doesn't. Apple did not give users that option to disable it completely.

How do I stop repeated requests for keychain login?

Every few minutes my iMac asks for the keychain login password - I enter the password and the box goes away. A few minutes later something else (such as Safari or Calendar) asks for it. This carries on throughout the day, the same series of items in rotation asking for the login.
My keychain login is the same as the computer login (this was fixed by a helpful Genius at an Apple store when an unknown login password was blocking the whole system - but now this has happened). Has anyone got any clues? It's just very annoying.

I *think* this has solved the problem - I'm not quite sure if what I did was what you recommended but I think it was (and I seem to have set up a Keychain access code in the process of trying to find the right folder) - I haven't had a pop-up for a while.
If that's done the trick, a big thank you! (Lugging a heavy computer to an over-busy Apple store again averted)
