ICloud and keychain problem

My Macbook Pro suddenly has this problem, does anybody know how to solve it? I'm on Yosemite 10.10
My iCloud was suddenly signed out for no reason and when I tried to enter my password again, it keeps saying:
I can't reset to defaults because it said that it will delete all my passwords, logins. And the same kind of messages keep appearing all the time (apparently with the logo of iTunes or Safari or something else next to the lock logo).
I ran Keychain First Aid in the Keychain app and here's the result:
Another weird thing is that I think my Mac or at least my Google Chrome app has been compromised. I was trying to log in to my internet banking from the ANZ website (yes, the real one, I double checked it) but then it kept re-directed me to another scamming website. This doesn't happen with Safari.
I remember that all of this only happened after I was trying to use VLC Streamer to stream tv shows from my Mac to my iPhone. Not sure if it's just a coincidence or not.
Can anybody please tell me what to do and which app is the best for scanning viruses and malware on Mac? Thanks a lot for your help!

Reset iPad and try again.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

IPad syncing with iCloud and Exchange = problems ?

Greetings,
I am using Apple products since 2 years ago. Everything started with an iPod Touch 64 and things grew to an iPhone4, iPad and now, an iPad 2.
I also have a Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb 3.2 based), a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.3.3.
All devices are configured to sync mails, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with an Exchange Server. Until iOS5 and iCloud, there were no problems whatsoever. Contacts created on any device used to replicate to the others without a problem, although the iDevices (iOS based) never understood “categories”, a resource commonly used in an outlook environment to help sorting things out.
Last week, Ibought the iPad2. Updated it and configured it to use the same Exchange Server as the other devices. Also, I chose to use iCloud.
After that, I noticed that on a daily basis, contacts would appear without categories, first day, a few, around 5. Second day, 10 more. Third day, more 20. After the second day, I also noticed that the “display as” field (also known as “FiledAs”) was starting to show names with Last, First order. Here in Brazil we sort names as First Last. Of course, outlook, all android devices and also the iPad were all configured correctly (First, Last).
The problem was getting bigger every day. Yesterday, 900+ of my almost 2000 contact list were mixed up, missing their categories and also had their first and last names changed in the Filed As field.
After deleting, editing, restoring backups etc. more than once, I have finally found that the iCloud is probably the culprit.
Changed my iPad config to keep from syncing with iCloud and configured it to backup locally.
Deleted all accounts in all devices, deleted all data from contacts. Configured the accounts and left the devices syncing. Restored a backup. All devices synced and received the contacts.
Surprise: problem solved. So far, no missing categories, no inverted First, Last names. Maybe if anyone find himself in the same situation, it might help.

I have the same problem. My MacPro isn't on Lion, as I have lots of software that isn't compatible yet. But I have 10.7.2. on my MacBookPro and iOS5 on my iPhone and iPad.
I would like to go to iCloud for those devices that are capable to run it, but I do not want to loose sync services for my MacPro which is on 10.6.8. Will iCloud and MobileMe be in sync until 30.06.2012, so I can use them in parallel, or do I have to wait until all computers are updated to Lion?

ICloud and keychains

Hi,
So i was attempting to get my mac and my ipad calendars to sync up but having no such luck when after a lot of research i found it was becuase of my icloud and i needed to verify my apple id password. however when I attempted to do that i get a message saying 'keychain "login" cannot be found to store "168404130"' with 2 options of cancel and reset to defaults. when i clicked reset to defaults the message pops up saying 'are you sure you want to reset your keychain? this will delete all your saved passwords, keys and certificates. you cannot undo this operation' with cancel and reset being the two options. if i press reset then i have to enter my login password and this password will be used to create a new keychain. but i still can't get in to verify my icloud.
help please!!

At some point, you reset your keychain to default in Keychain Access. That caused your login keychain to be renamed.
Back up all data.
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.keychain" to "login.keychain".
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.

Mail and keychain problems when upgrading to SL

I have tried twice to upgrade to SL from 10.4.11.
Initially everything is smooth as glass, fast, no issues at all.
After I open mail everything works fine. After closing mail; the next time I open it and try to get mail the little boxes asking for my password shows up on 3 of the 5 accounts.
I add the password and I can get mail.
However if I check the box to save the PW to the keychain, mail stops working. In the worst case I loose all my mail in the account where I asked for the PW to be saved.
Needless to say I only did that once.
I do NOT get the use mail 1st time message until I loose my mail. Then everything is gone
I have tried to remove and re-add the offending accounts both in mail set-up and in thew keychain.
" " " " " the mail.plist.
" " " " " " " " to the desktop and re-placing it.
I have talked to apple support and nobody has a clue. 1st time was Aug, '10, then again this weekend.
Still the same problem.
On the positive side Safari was working again, and Aperture "flew"
So I really want to upgrade.
The people I have talked to who have upgraded from 10.4.11 to SL do not seem to have had a problem.
Everything works fine with Tiger, except Safari and Aperture is slow. Firefox is also slow, but Safari doesn't work anymore.
Being a former techie (retired now) I have checked, DBL checked and tripple checked. Permissions are fine, althoug after the upgrade there were a couple that I fixed.
I am back on Tiger, Good thing I backup frequently.
Please can anyone assist?????
I am going to try it again, but not until I get some productive feedback
Thanks

Thank you for the total lack of help!!
Next time someone asks::
Go to keychain firstaid ( I am assuming you know how to get there ;-p
and run it, then repair it
Keychain now works

Mail and Keychain Problem

I would like to refer to the problem of Mail asking multiple (50 plus) a day for the passwords for POP accounts. The question has been posted a couple of times here and a dozens of times in other forums. Nobody was able to give an answer. If nobody has an answer to a software problem, then it is normally called a bug.
The simple question to Apple: When will you fix this bug? It makes Mail basically unusable.
Regards

sorry to have not provided details, as everybody I know has this problem. and a couple of others-:)
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=549320&tstart=150
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=542171&tstart=270
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=548118&tstart=285
they all relate to exactly the same problem and they have been asked in the last 4-5 days in this forum and no solution has been offered. The last time I looked for an answer was 4 weeks ago and the ratio of asked questions (this question) and no answers was the same. I have seen this question in all other Mac user forums and no solution has been offered there as well. This has let me to the hypothesis, that it is a bug.
ok the details:
I have 5 POP accounts on my mac and one .Mac account. The .Mac never has a problem, but the POP accounts ask for the password randomly, sometimes twice a minute. This must happen when Mail checks with the respective mail server for new messages. The problem has popped up half a year ago, I believe when Tiger got introduced. We are five people in our office and everybody has this problem, at work and at home and with 6 different providers.
Even if you check the box, "Save password in Keychain" it happens again. You can avoid this by closing Mail and just opening it when you check for new mail every couple of hours, or you can hit the button "Connect to Internet" in Mail. If you are lucky all the POP accounts get downloaded.
I have tried the Keychain fixes, everything that got posted as possible fixes. Nothing worked.
Help would be appreciated.

ICloud and Outlook problems

First of all thanks you all for the support you will give me.
I'm running W7 64Bit on a Desktop PC.
Outlook 2010 was installed and running perfectly.
When I first installa the iCloud Control Panel, I got all items in the calendar disappeared and went into the new special folder iCloud/Calendar.
This was not good but let say accepted.
I sync my iPhone 3gc running iOS5 without any problem.
I can see all my Calendar items and contacts within the iCloud web page. iPhone has all inside, not problem.
This morning I turned on my PC, I run Outlook and found that the iCloud are not avaible anymore.
Sorry for the Italian pictures to show the problem, but I'm running Italian O.S.
The same happens with Contacts.
Any idea how to solve this problem?
Many thanks.

I had that exact same problem for contacts sync with Outlook 2010, but I've managed to solve it.
My iCloud contacts originally came pre-configured with 1 contact (me) which I deleted. There were then no contacts at all on my iCloud contacts list.
When I tried to configure sync with outlook via the iCloud control panel, I got the error:
"Error: 0x80004005: Got no CardDAV principal record from principal URL request!"
I went back into iCloud (via the iCloud website), and manually added a contact (named "Test").
I then tried setting up sync for contacts with Outlook again using the iCloud control panel, and this time it worked perfectly.
I expect you could try the same approach with Calendar.
Hope this fixes it for you too!

Cant sign into icloud and keychain access crashes on opening

I have recently experienced very frustrating glitches in my iMac's operability (2011 model, 1TB hard disk and recent upgrade to 12GB RAM to overcome very slow running). The machine runs OSx 10.9.5. I cannot sign into iCloud on this machine (although my iPan and iPhone both work) and every time I open Keychain access it crashes. Sorry to post 2 issues in one thread, but I have never experienced these before and wonder if they are related?

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.keychainaccess.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
What happens when you try to sign into iCloud?

ICloud and Keychain

Hi,
yesterday my little daughter accidentally reset my iPad and I had to set it up from the factory settings.
The first challenge was to type in my (very sophisticated) iCloud-Password. When done the next was to install 1password and dropbox. These two apps are essential to.
Why these and not the Apple counterparts?
Here are my answers that might come along with one or the other hint to the Apple developers.
Dropbox:
I am working with lots of documents that I like to link to, e.g. when using a note app. However, there is no good way to directly access document stored into the iCloud. I know there is a workaround navigating into the library and then into the folders created by the apps. But this is tricky: I did this once with my pages folder, and when I gained access over the Finder the Pages app didn't find the files anymore. So: Back to Dropbox. As well Dropbox syncs very fast.
Keychain:
I simply don't understand what it does. Keychain doesn't have a UI that gives me confidence in having at least a bit of control over it. That means when something goes wrong I don't have a possibility to correct it. A couple of times I tried it out and accepted Keychain's proposals when registering to new websites. But when I tried to log into theses sites again Keychain remained quiet – neither offering me the login data nor even showing any sign of life. So: Back to dropbox, where everything works really straightforward.
One more thing:
I am doing a lot of research utilizing Growly Notes (which ist ugly, but useful) and the Scrapbook plugin in Firefox. These are very good tools. I like the simplicity, the ease when overlooking my stuff and the full text search functionalities. As I heard Microsoft has such thing. Apple, however, doesn't which seems strange to me. It could be an Apple classic simply it's something obvious for many people. Having a carefully crafted app storing websites with a simple click (in Safari, of course) and storing my notes with those links as well as links into the filesystem, possibly with the option of storing all this into the iCloud (users of the Macbook Air with relatively small storage capacity would love it!) would be just perfect!
Cheers,
Christoph

Hmm, I think I solved it by making a new keychain. Now I have to type in again my password everywhere, but it seems to be working OK now, including iCloud.

ICloud and Keychain Conflict on iMac

When I try to login to iCloud for the first time on my new iMac (I have never had a Mac computer, or an iCloud account), I get "a keychain cannot be found to store..." and then some numbers, and I cannot login. How can I get iCloud to work?

Try opening the application "Keychain Access" (you can search for it using spotlight, by clicking on the magnifier icon in the top right corner of your screen). In Keychain Access, click File - New Keychain and assign a name.
FYI, since you are new to the Mac: Keychain is an application that stores all your passwords (if you want it to).

ICloud and Keychain conflict

I had forgotten my admin password on my iMac so I reset it by using resetpassword in recovery mode. All things went well until I tried to reconnect to iCloud.
When I go to System settings - iCloud I'm asked to enter my Apple-ID password. I enter my password and then a new window pops up "MAC OS-X wants to use the key 'Log in', enter password". But I cannot enter a password, because every letter I type is entered in the previous window! Even when I click with the mouse on the 'keychain'-window, every letter appears in the previous window.
How can I solve this?

Why am i being asked to sign in to iCloud and keychain all of the time.

Lately when i boot up my MBP i am asked to sign into keychain and iCloud. Is this being done by default or do i need to change a setting? I don't really use either of these...as i learn more about Mac maybe i will find a good use for these applications. Any suggestions or ideas out there for me to try? My MBP 13" (late 2012) Model was purchased new through a US Navy Exchange. I am running the latest Yosemite OS X, I am still getting used to the Mac and am enjoying its' features.

Safari and Keychain problem

Hi every one,
I killed my safari. I was trying to connect to my university's wireless WPA Enterprise network and my ibook would not recognize the certificate. I tried a lot of different things, and I finally decided to get rid of all of my keychains and start all over again... big mistake! I went to HD/Library/Keychains and erased the two files that were there. Ever since, I get the message: 'safari can't open... because it couldn't establish a secure connection to the server.' My remedy was to get Firefox BUT now I can't export pictures to my .mac webpage or use iSinc. I would really appreciate your help to either 1) fix safari, or 2)find an alternative way to export pictures to the web,
Thanks in advance,
Hector

Sorry for the delay...sometimes "beach time" is the only time that matters.
Yes, connecting to the Uni.net is a different post in a different forum. Try this one. Like to help but I don't have any experience with that particular area.
Re: Installing Safari:
You can install a new version by extracting it from your Installer DVD. To do this you'll need a copy of Pacifist.
After downloading Pacifist, open the app. Instructions for extracting package contents on the Installer DVD are pretty straight forward. Next load your Installer DVD. When it's open in your Finder, go back to Pacifist and extract the Safari package from the Installer DVD.
Before you install Safari make sure you:
Trash the existing Safari application
Trash the Safari.pkg file found in your /library/receipts folder
Move your existing Safari bookmarks and history files, plus your Icon folder (all found in your Safari folder - ~/library/safari folder) to your desktop.
Install Safari by clicking on the extracted installer. Once installed, go to Software Update and update Safari (I'm assuming the OS will determine whether the new copy of Safari is up to date). If it doesn't, you'll have to reinstall 10.3.9. The reinstall is pretty straight forward.
Restart your system.
Now, move your bookmarks, history and Icon folder from your desktop back into the Safari Folder writing over the new files created by Safari during the installation.
With either the Software Update, or 10.3.9 approach, make sure you repair permissions using Disk Utility (Utility folder) once you are finished and before you start up Safari for the first time.
Please post back with results.

ICloud and outlook problem

I use a pc for my work calendar and a mac at home. I had my work calendar so I could view and edit it on my personal calendar (mac) with mobileme I updated to iCloud now my work calendar on outlook won't open it says "The set of folders cannot be opened". I can see this information on I cloud I just can't see it on my work pc. I do have a backup of the information. Can anyone help me make this work?
Thanks

In your phone settings try to turn off automatic time. See if that works.

ICloud and iTunes problem

I synced my iPhone to iTunes to add some new music for the first time in a while and it would not do it. I got an error message that said
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Sunset Road" were not copied to the iPhone "Mike's iPhone" because they are only available in iCloud.
You must download items from iCloud before they can be copied to your iPhone"
I'm very puzzled. Does this mean that because my iPhone music library is synced to iCloud that I have to listen to it on the cloud? I'm not happy with the results that I get listening to anything off of the cloud because it takes forever (if at all) to start playing. More often than not, I stop the listen and switch oto something that is already on my phone. Or if I have to download it from the cloud, how does that happen?
Thank in advance.
Mike

I've answered my own question.
After I see the item on my phone with the cloud and click on it, I'm presented with the option to download it.
That's what I get for not paying attention and thinking like an applet.
Thanks all.
Peace

Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem. Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)? If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?
