I accidentally erased my keychain passwords, how can I replace it?  ( I was in the keychains folder on the password link when i pressed delete). I thought I was deleting one account but it deleted everything.  I now keep getting pop-ups asking me for a keychain password...which I don't remember ever creating.

Try running Keychain Access/First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

  • HT1766 I have an iphone 5 and I keep getting pop ups asking for my voicemail password and it is so annoying.

    I have an iphone 5 and I keep getting pop ups asking for my voicemail password.  How do i get rid of it?

    Contact your carrier and have them re-set your voice mail password. Once they do, you should only have to enter it once. Then you won't be prompted again.

  • How do i get keychain off my computer!?!?! Ive tried absolutely everything, keychain won't reset itself. Ive done everything anyone has suggested in apple support. Keep getting pop ups, mail won't work any more, i can't do ANYTHING.

    Every time i log into my computer, i get bombarded with pop ups asking me for numerous passwords, i enter the CORRECT ones in for my email accounts and they keep coming up, i cant do anything to get this off. Keychains suck i dont know why anyone would have made these.
    I go to the keychain preferences in finder and i try to unlock the local items keychain but it wont because i dont know the password, ive tried any password it could possibly be and it wont go through. I also cant reset it becasue it says "invalid aegument" every time i try to do that in First Aid.
    Everything anyone has said to do wont help. I cant even get my mail accounts to come online but they still work in my phone. I even downloaded the newest version 10.9 or whatever and it doesnt work. My mail accounts are all screwed up, so is icloud, and messages app i cant even use it. ive restarted my computer a million times so dont suggest that either.
    Oh and for those of you who are going to tell me to go to /library/keychain or anything like that, my computer says that the file or folder doestn exist.

    Please follow the directions in this support article. If there's no change, see below.
    Back up all data. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to keep or delete the keychain items. Choose to delete and confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. Test.

    That is the activation lock. Your iPad will be useless unless you can remove it.

    That is normal for purchasing apps for a device not previously associated with your Apple ID.
    You will need to contact iTunes Store Support here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    They need to be registered under different Apple ID's.  The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up.  If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset.  Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
    When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device.  You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
    Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before.  Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

    Do NOT click on popups or webpages offering updates to Firefox.
    You appear to be posting from something other than Firefox (Internet Explorer ?)
    Are you able to post a screenshot, it is probably a scam.
    * [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]] <br /> (Please use a .jpeg or .png type compressed image; not some massive high resolution bitmap)
    (Note AFAIK Firefox is soon to start a campaign to upgrade outdated versions but even that will be through the ordinary Firefox interface not through popups)
    Please see

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • I keep getting pop ups saying that my subscription has expired? I have paid and have credit because this has happened before and I paid 3 times. Can I just download the programs rather than pay a monthly charge?

    I keep getting pop ups that say my subscription has expired? I have paid and have credit because this has happened before and i paid 3 times. Can I just buy a download instead of paying a monthly subscription?

    We often find this happens when the wrong software gets run (so the subscription doesn't apply).
    So,to start with  what exactly is your subscription for - please check your account details and confirming email?

    I removed Creative Cloud but I still get pop-ups asking me to log in....why and how do I get rid of it?

    Looks like you didn't uninstall; you just logged out.  Go to the Windows Control Panel, Programs and Features (in Win7; may be different in your version of Windows).  right click on each Adobe CC app you want to uninstall and select "uninstall".  Then uninstall CC itself.

  • HT204085 I recently upgraded to maverick and now I have pop ups asking for keychain passwords. What is a keychain password?

  • My copy of Address Book App was erased from Maverick. How can I replace it?

    Address Book App was deleted from the iMac running Maverick. My other iMac runs Snow Leopard and that version of Address Book 5.0.3. won't run on Maverick. Where can I d/l the software?
    And how can I copy in the addresses from 5.0.3?
    Appreciate the help.

    I bought this iMac and another from a non-prof group that got a gift of newer Macs. The addresses in Address Book were theirs. I thought I was deleting them, but deleted the entire address app. This is the only machine I have running Mavericks. Others are on Snow Leopard.
    I do not have the Mavericks install disk but I'll ask for it tomorrow.
    PeachMac offered to install Address Book and any other system software for $69. But that's still not my contact list of 200 or so.
    I'm investigating resources.
    First I have to send my broken, no-boot MacBookPro to Florida for a motherboard or whatever it needs. I have a Snow Leopard Time Machine back-up for that. I doubt there's a way to Restore that back-up to a Mavericks machine. Apple ain't that kind.

  • When I try to download adobe, so that I can see some of the stuff I get on Facebook, it asks for my password, which I don't remember, despite the hint and don't find a way to change the password.  any suggestions. rob.

    I don't remember the password to get into adobe, despite the hint, so I can't run anything that comes on Facebook. Any suggestions?

    There is nothing on Facebook that you would need Adobe Reader for; perhaps you mean Flash Player?
    Either way, the username and password required for both of the above is for your computer's Administrator account.
