HT4865 I hadnt had a keychain set up before I updated to Maverick, now its asking for a keychain during the start up and i cant access my mac because of it

I'm not able to use my mac book because i didnt set up a keychain before the new IOS was installed, I've created a keychain on my phone but as of yet have recieved no info as to how to get onto my macbook because irts continueously asking for a "keychain passcode" which apparently I dont have.... I've tried literally every passcode ive ever had for anything and nothing works... please help me :-*(

I responded to your first post and assumed that you didn't have a computer. If I was wrong, I apologize for misreading your question.
Did you totally erase the device and not restore from a backup? If you totally erased the device and set up as new, the passcode should not be on the device.

LOST PASSCODE
You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
Otherwise read this
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
Enter Wrong passcode

I think you will need to restore to the itunes computer you normally sync to.
So you'll have to wait until you come back from your trip.

HT1766 i had to upgrade my software on my I phone and once completed, my phone was wiped out, it tried to restore my info from my backup but now its asking for a password. I've tried every password I've ever had, but nothing is working?

Where would i find out what the password was set to?

Your backup became encrypted. Keep trying various passwords but unless you successfully enter the correct password, you will not be able to restore your phone from that backup

HT1212 Hello my kids Ipad mini is disabled, so I connected to the computer and now its asking for the passcode, which is not know. How do i set a new passcode?

Forgetten Passcode for Ipad mini, How do I reset the passcode?
Thx

You can't just reset the passcode. You'll have to restore the device.
Follow the directions in this link:

If that doesn't work, you need to use recovery mode:

Next time write the passcode somewhere safe for future reference.

I recently used SuperDuper! to transfer my hard drive, setting etc to an SSD to replace in my MBP. When I placed the SSD in and went to "About This Mac" I came upon this in the Storage section. My question is where can I find my Backups and delete them?

I recently used SuperDuper! to transfer my old MBP hard drive and its settings to a new SSD. Everything went smoothly. When I opened the "About this Mac" section and looked under Storage it showed this:
Where are the "Backups" (purple) located? I want to delete these files to free up disk space on my new SSD. Thanks in advance for all of your guys help!

These are the "Local Snapshots" Time Machine makes when the actual Time Machine harddisk is not connected/avaiable.

HT5661 I restored my phone now its asking for the original apple id that was used to set up phone. myself and the previous owner want to nknow is there a was to get it or can apple delete it.

Can not find original apple id to restore my iphone 4s help.

If you know the apple id login it's possible for you to be able to reset the password to this apple id by going to:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
This will give you the opportunity to reset your password that is once again if you know the name of the apple id.
There will be significant identify verification required.
Good luck.

I had to take my hp back to factory setting and reinstall itunes, when I tried to use Itunes match it said i had to Deauthorize all my computers. I am using the same computer and desperately need access to my music.

I had to take my hp back to factory setting and reinstall itunes, when I tried to use Itunes match it said i had to Deauthorize all my computers. I am using the same computer and desperately need access to my music.

When you reset to factory settings, the computer is de-authorised.
In iTunes menu Store > View Account > sign in > App Store > Deauthorise All.
Once done, authorise this computer iTunes.
Note: you can only do that once a year.

Trying to set up a new macbook air and it is asking for a keychain password

I am trying to set up a new Macbook Air and it is asking for a keychain password. Where do I find one?

There was an option to Cancel the pop up box which I have now done and it has carried on with the set up - so not sure what it was all about.
I am going to the Genius Bar tomorrow so will ask the question!
Thanks for your help Linc.

Hello there! am new to mac and had been using my mcbook pro for like a year now with no problem but last Monday, I started having concerns about my keychain access.. every time i open the mac it asks for my keychain password.. what can i do?

Hello there!
I am a new Mc Bok Pro user and had been using my mac since Sept, 2012 with no problem. Just recently however, I have been experiencing a Keychain access problem. Specifically, whenever I open the mac, it asks for my keychain password... Can I restore my mac to its condition before Jan. 18, 2014? What should I do?
Thanks everyone!

This is only for Local Items key chain not Login Keychain.
“Local Items” keychain prompt?
Try this.

The password is the same as your login password, unless you changed it.

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!
