HT4898 Why have Apple turned off keychain sync when moving to iCloud?
This was one of the most useful feature I found as I didn't have to remember my passwords when moving from one Apple device to another. I think its pretty daft that this has been dropped! So what to do now ? Any advice?
No one knows here, since we're just users - and no one every reported why Apple did this. There must have been a good reason though. But we'll never know.

Should I turn off iTunes synch when I use iCloud to synch?
I have been using iTunes to sync my iPhone contacts and calendar to Outlook on my old Windows PC. Now I've replaced the PC with a MacBook and have turned on iCloud on both my iPhone and Mac. When I sync with iTunes now, I notice some calendar events are getting duplicated. Is the best practice to just stop using iTunes and let iCloud handle all synching?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes synching should have been turned off when you started iCloud. Yes turn it off for appropriate services to avoid duplication. -
Why my music turns off on iPad when I use another app?
WWhy does my music turn off when I use another app?
What Music? You are aware that there are many ways that you can play music on your iPad other than by just using the built in Music app, aren't you? Many apps that play music will not run in the background if the app that you are using has sound.

and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there some setting I may have accidentally turned off?
Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it.
Try reinstalling the AMDS > iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X

For sound issues check System Preferences > Sound
Make sure the Mute button is not selected. -
My phone started acting up and I noticed my text messages were not being sent. So I turned my iphone off. My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a UBS pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle. And the phone no longer goes beyond this message. I try to turn it off and on again and same message over and over. If I hit the any button on the phone nothing happens. Does anyone know what this means or seen this itunes messaging ? meltdown? Please help.
Hello Raja,
Thank you so much for your response. I had these photos backed up on iCloud but, had I not, its good to have an alternate solution as the one you suggested. Actually, I went to the Apple store today and yes, you are absolutely correct Restoring in iTunes will result in permanent loss of photos unless backed up somewhere such as iCloud or other solution. Well, what they did was restore the phone in itunes ( I did not have iTunes downloaded to my computer which is why it did not work when I went to do it myself, I needed to go to the iTunes site and go to the download iTunes button because my windows based HP laptop does not come with itunes already downloaded). This retoration process took a while and I was forced to upgrade to the latest 7.1 iOS software which I was not too happy about -sometimes you like the way things work now :-) Anyhow, they said this restoration request happens as a result of a software update (which I was NOT in progress of an update or doing an update) or sometimes when you remove the power cable too quickly from the iphone (which I do not recall doing this either but...). Since I had backed up on iCloud all of the photos were downloaded back on my iphone 4s. Best of all was that my phone was back up and runnning and there was NO CHARGE at the apple store for this service of restoring my phone. Well, I just wanted to share the results and I appreciate all the responses and support I received. Thank you kindly. -
I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave. Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB. I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get. Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain. Should I cancel my icloud account?
I appreciate your help.
Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing. I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval". Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there. But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.

Everytime I export from FCP using comressor I am lose my audio, any ideas as to why this is happening. Or do I have somthing turned off and I am just missing it? Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, Mac OS X (10.4.6)
Exporting via Compressor may be recommended but it is slow and doesn't fully support all available filters, etc.
Try exporting the timeline as a QT Movie (the "normal" export) using Current Settings and them submit the resultant clip to Compression. Works for me... -
Trying to restore my iphone 5c, but it says i have to turn off the 'find my phone' option in icloud. when i try, it brings up the wrong apple id. I reset it under itunes & app store in settings but still not working...frustrated!
Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click Restore button of iTunes on computer.

Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!
Texting longer text messages or any media (pictures/video/sound etc) being sent requires data to be active. However, it does not count against your data caps.
Since you have an iPhone, you must also be aware of the difference between iMessage and SMS Text messages. The iPhone, by default, will send an iMessage when sending another text message to anyone else with an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. This does use your data if you are not connected to wifi. In Settings, you can turn iMessage off, and then all of your texts will go through Verizon.
Also understand- iMessage will use wifi when connected to wifi, but would need cellular data connection to work when not connected to wifi. Regular SMS text messages that are long or any media will always use the cellular data and not wifi, so will not send if cellular data is turned off, even if on wifi. However, this does not count against your cap. -

I have to turn off mobile data to connect to public wifi!?
I have found with my phone that to connect to public wifi in places such as my local bar or where I work, that I have to turn off mobile data in settings to connect to the wifi.
These are wifi hotspots where you have to create a free account to use them, and when you try to connect to them in wifi settings in iOS, when they connect, a little browser screen appears. If mobile data is turned off, then the broswer window will show a welcome screen or message saying connected (dpending on which spot Im connecting to), however if Data isn't turned off, the browser screen just does nothing or I get the apple.com screen with a small text message saying success, then disconnects me from the wifi!
It wasn't so much an issue before because, in wifi settings for each hotspot I had options for auto-login and auto-join which allowed me not to have to keep reconnecting, however since updating to iOS6, these have changed and its been a nightmare since. This is because these spots tend to kick you off after 20-30mins and then you have to reconnect (which you can understand having to turn off mobile data everytime to do so is annoying).
Ive noticed that my friends with other iphones, regardless of network, don't have to do this - so why is it an issue for me, or I was wondering if anybody else had the same problem or a fix/solution? And where did the auto-login option from the wifi settings go?After much googling for the past few hours, I think I finally found the answer to my problem. Apparently if you have the Onavo app along with the profile it installs, that interferes with connecting to Cisco based wifi hotspots, and the only way around it is the method I used above by turning off mobile data!

I just moved from a MacBook Pro to an iMac. In fact, I moved from about 5 years of using a MacBook Pro, which functioned as both a desktop (when attached to a monitor) and a laptop.
As part of my security paranoia, I locked the keychain, and required a separate login password for the keychain. So, if you were good enough to get past my login password, up popped the Keychain password which was 20 random characters (which I memorized) and impossible to break.
But my iMac is pretty secure sitting in my house, so I'm less concerned. I guess a thief could get it, my login password and Apple ID password are really complex, and your average thief will just sell the machine, and someone will just reformat, and my privacy will be protected. I just want to save the annoyance of that second login (which is so complicated, I always mistype the password).
Can someone explain how to shut off the separate keychain login? I've clicked a bunch of stuff which I think should turn off keychain login, but it's not working. Besides, the keychain preferences seems to have been written in some lame English, because you can't figure out if by clicking a box you get a double-negative or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Set the keychain password to the same as your login password.

My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.
Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.
