I get message "A keychain cannot be found to store Safari. Now, the key chain app has disappeared. Help?

A window with message: "A keychain cannot be found to store Safari" appears frequently. I would try First Aid, but now the keychain app itself has moved to an undisclosed location. How do I find keychain, and, once found, how do I lose the irritating message?

Do a search for Keychain Access.
Look in the Trash.
Look in Applications.
Put back in Applications/Utilities.
Check in your User's Library/Keychains
Do you see your login.keychain in this folder?

When creating a custom default user profile for an image, I get the error "A keychain cannot be found to store "safari" when a new user logs in for the first time.

My "profile" account works flawlessly with the exception of safari. I had copied the entire user template folder to the default location in OS X 10.10 and removed the entire keychain folder. However, whenever someone logs into the computer for the first time and opens Safari, they are greeted with the error message "A keychain cannot be found to store safari".

If you've just changed your login password in Recovery mode, follow these instructions. Otherwise, see below.
At some point, you may have reset your keychain to default in Keychain Access. That action would have caused your login keychain to be renamed.
Back up all data before proceeding.
In Keychain Access, delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Keychains
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. Rename the file "login.keychain" in that folder to something like "login-old.keychain". Rename the file "login_renamed_1.keychain" to "login.keychain". You can then close the folder.
Back in Keychain Access, select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file you named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.

A keychain cannot be found to store "Safari"

Hi all
I was having problems remembering a password on step-das's Mac Mini running Mac OSX 10.9.5. In any event I was able to reset it by restarting his computer in recovery mode. After doing that though I an having other problems. These include getting the following error "A keychain cannot be found to store Safari." It then gives me the option of "Reset to Defaults" or "Cancel." I just selected cancel. Others have suggested that I use Keychain First AId to to fix any problems. When verifying I get the following message. "Error: login keycahain not found unable to get info for ~/library/keycahains/login.keycahing, reason: the operation couldn't be completed no such file or directory. Not really sure what to do now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. On a side note I do remember getting message about not being to update the keychain password when reseting his login password. Sorry but I not write down the message I got.
Also his computer keeps making me login every time it is restarted, How do I fix this? i know there is a way to keep him logged every time the computer is restarted or turned on.
And last thing that I think may be related to the keychain problem. Mail keeps asking for password when you click to get new messages. Also acts like it is not connecting to the incoming mail server at our local ISP. I am able to get new mail from this same server.
Thanks for your help or suggestion.

Also his computer keeps making me login every time it is restarted, How do I fix this? i know there is a way to keep him logged every time the computer is restarted or turned on.
System Preferences/Users & Groups - unlock the padlock, select his account, and click login options. Set up automatic login.
You may need to do a Keychain reset.

Wireless Profile (System Payload) - A keychain cannot be found to store....

Hey Guys,
Got a rather complex one here which I'm reasonably sure is specifically just a 10.10 Yosemite bug in itself but here's some background, hopefully someone else can replicate it and offer an explanation.
I work at a school and we have WPA2 enterprise wireless utilising certificates and TLS authentication, where as part of TLS we provide a username which matches the certificate name.
We create our wireless profiles for devices through Casper or iPhone Configuration Utility (both output the same file and both work). We are finding that in Yosemite, only user level wireless profile payloads are deploying error free.
Casper allows you to create a system payload wireless profile (mobileconfig), and I also know the lines to modify within an exported iPhone Configuration Utility profile to make it a system one.
If we attempt to deploy a system level payload of a wireless profile, we are meeting the error:
"A keychain cannot be found to store TLSUSERNAMEHERE"
You can then choose to select 'Cancel' or 'Reset to Defaults'
I notice that at this point, the wireless is already in fact connected and am clicking 'Cancel' and just moving on.
If you choose to click 'Reset to Defaults' you get the message:
"Are you sure you want to reset your keychain? This will delete all your saved passwords, keys, and certificates. You cannot undo this operation"
You can then choose to select 'Cancel' or 'Reset'
When you choose 'Reset' a window appears stating:
"Please enter your login password. This password will be used to create your new keychain."
You then attempt to enter your password in the text box, however nothing you type appears in the text box at all. You can tick show password which should show what you're typing but still nothing appears in the text box, all you see is a flashing cursor, no password dots, characters or anything. You click OK and it just closes the window.
However the above exact same mobileconfig file works fine on every OSX we have except for 10.10 Yosemite.
We have also tried deploying this same profile on multiple devices running 10.10 Yosemite and they all have the exact same error.
The fact that the profile starts working before you respond to the error indicates to me that this is a false error or a bug within 10.10 Yosemite itself, especially given when you try to do the reset it's indicating you should do, you cant even enter any text and pressing ok just closes it off completely.
Unfortunately I can't find anyone else that's had this problem - can anyone shed some light on this?

Having the exact same issue here. Trying to enable 802.1x wifi on MacBook Airs so that they can authenticate to AD at login and mount user home directories properly. Loading the profile developed to allow connection to wireless before the actual login to the computer gives exactly the same symptoms. I believe, but am not sure that it is because the TLSUSERNAME and password are stored in the profile, and it doesn't know how/where to store the login. The not being able to type in the "Reset" is also identical.
Any updates or ideas? 100% reproducible on 20 different MacBook Airs for 20 different users.

A keychain cannot be found to store

Don't recall the exact wording. But it is the same in appearance as others. Anyway, problem solved using RogerWilmut1 reply to someone else. I opened Applications and got the icon back. Thanks for responding.

I can play all songs on iphone but on itunes on pc it get message orignal file cannot be found

I can play all songs when using itunes on my iphone, but when i try to play them on my pc i get the message "original file cannot be found" what up?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

When i click the icon on my desk top, "HP solution center" i get message that device cannot be found

I have a 7400 officejet all-in-one. On my desk top i have an icon for the HP solution center that among other things allows me to scan a picture. Recently after setting up a network to share the printer via wireless connection when I click the hp solution center icon i get a message that says, "no hp devices have been detected. Hp solution will close now."

hello biorrh, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

My mail has frozen with basketball appearing. I think this is due to my attempt to send a home movie as an attachment. I need to delete the attachment but I get message that it cannot be deleted 'at this time'. The wheel has been revolving for two days.

I can work around by restarting my Mac but must not touch my mail where the message sits as a draft. I am unable to send mail.
Please how may I get rid of theemail and attachment?
Thanks

Back up all data.
Quit Mail if it's running. From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Mail, Contacts & Calendars
Select your iCloud account in the list on the left and click the "-" button below to delete it from the list. Then click the "+" button and add the account.

Keychain Cannot Be Found

I am part way through moving my accounts from MobileMe to iCloud. They are all set up on one of my Macs. On the other Mac I am getting told that "Keychain cannot be found for XXXXXXX"
What's going on here?

Modification to my original post.
Message actually reads: "A keychain cannot be found to store XXXXXX"
Alert box suggests Reset To Defaults, which then warns that this action will delete all saved passwords, keys and certificates. Not a good idea.
How do I get out of this hole?

I am not able to use the ftp export in Muse. When I enter my host, name and password, I get a long interlude of rainbow wheel and finally the message that my ftp host cannot be found. I have verified the name and that it is port 21. I can export to html and use another ftp client to upload (to the same server) but this is tedious and making minor changes is painful. Have you encountered this and found a solution?

Hi Susan,
In that case I will recommend that you consult a local technician/IT team and see if there is some network connectivity issue with your machine.

I am unable to sync my ipad..i get error message " required file cannot be found" Can you help me?

Some things to try in this order:
1) Make sure you designated the correct folders for music, etc.
2) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons on the iPad until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
3) Make sure all antivirus and firewalls are off.
4) Delete and reinstall itunes. (Back up the itunes folder first.)
Hope this helps...

Running 10.6.8. Trying to open and view contents of a CD (of an MRI) and getting message 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode' Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

Go to the support site for the provider of the MRI software.
Sounds like it windows/PC. I have ran across that for the CDs that veterinarians provide for digital x-rays.
I would try on a PC or on yuur Mac with Windows via BootCamp or a virtual machine like VirtualBox
