ICloud keychain issues

Hi,
I am having issues with my icloud keychain not being up to date on my imac. It is synced fine across my macbook pro, ipad, mac mini and iphone. However my imac is missing lots of entries. If I make a change on any of my other devices it syncs across. If I make a change on my imac it syncs across to my other devices. But all my entries in keychain from last year just do not appear on my imac.
I have tried turning keychain on, off, deleting the files, signing out of my apple id and back in but no luck.
Wondering if anyone had any ideas at all?
Thanks,

Very good background info. You say "problem is that the keychains won't sync across devices" & "issues" (?same thing?) - please describe, in detail, each an every one and the steps taken to get your 'experience' - add screenshots if pertinent (*NO personal identifying info*)
You seem to have identified the upgrade to Yosemite on two Macs as the 'event(s)' that immediately preceded the behavior(s). Was it 'sudden'? Which event immediately preceded that?
It may be tedious, but we also need to know exactly what you have tried when you say "...all the troubleshooting on the support page including..." - every device and in what order. List links to the "support pages" to make it easier for all to follow.
When you say "... calls to engineering ..." do you mean Apple Support or some other level - be specific about your support communication timeline and personnel - and their specific efforts as far as you can tell us.
The two things that stand out right now are your several Apple domains for AppleIDs with the introduction of Yosemite as a trigger point. You list several, so does this mean you have these several active AppleIDs that you are trying to manage across 4 devices?
In all honesty, if Apple Insiders are unable to resolve your issues, the best you may hope for from us is a way to workaround them.
One crazy idea that pops into my head is for Apple to treat your old AppleIDs as deceased person(s) and make them help you to transfer ownership to the HEIR of the Estate as would a Probate Court - crazy, I know. My reasoning is that it is a common Mac troubleshooting tactic to create a New User - much more difficult when syncing (sharing?) is involved.
It has been my experience that, if you have discovered a flaw of some kind in OS(es) and/or iCloud - and it is specific to your situation - we may not see any improvement (if at all) until Version Update(s) are issued - always without much fanfare. For example, this is the current Release Notes document  for iOS 8.1.2

  • HT5961 iCloud keychain issue!

    hello! I tried to access my keychain in iCloud. I put my password and the 4 digit code and a an ams containing a verification code was sent to a phone number I dont use anymore. How can I register my new phone number?

    iCloud Keychain works with third-party apps where the developer of the app has implemented it, otherwise no. Presumably Kickstarter have not implemented it yet.
    But all you need to do is sign into the Kickstarter app as before but using the new email and password (the one now stored in your iCloud Keychain).

  • ICloud Keychain verification

    Hi all, wondering if anyone can shed a little light on this. I received 3 sms to my land line today from 51472 saying "your iCloud Keychain verification code is" each message had a different code and all the messages occurred in about 15 mins. I am very suspicious about this as I don't have Keychain turned on and never have.

    Hello HEADshr1nker,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud Keychain issues:
    Get help using iCloud Keychain
    I'm not receiving the verification code via SMS.
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can receive SMS messages. You can do this by asking someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help completing iCloud Keychain setup.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • Google 2 Step Verification on Gmail causing 10.9 issues with iCloud Keychain Sync?

    Hi
    I have just installed 10.9 on my Air 2011 and it works fine. I signed up the iCloud Keychain sync. I also updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.3 and also signed up for iCloud keychain sync. All appeared well until I set up my iMac 2009. This had the same email accounts setup but as POP not IMAP (my bad) and so I ended up with multiple email account copies everywhere. I corrected this on each device without issue. Managed to lock an exchange account for work but I can sort that through IT support tomorrow. Anyway an issue with my Gmail cropped up. As I have 2 step verification enabled I have application specific passwords for each device. Now I found that the iMac (last to move to 10.9) propagated its app specific password to the Air and then locked the Gmail access out. If I correct on the Air it propagates back to the iMac locking that out of my Gmail account.
    So iCloud Keychain sync only seems to support one password for each email account.
    The only option I can see is disable 2 step on gmail and revert to my account password rather than an app specific password.
    Has anyone had a similar issue?
    Has anyone managed to get a solution where gmail 2 step can be retained?
    Is there a way to block certain accounts from participating in the iCloud Keychain sync?
    Is there a way to force the same app specific password on multiple gmail accessing devices?
    Any help welcomed.
    Thanks

    Yep. My other iMac works now too on App specific passwords and iCloud Keychain sync. So that is my iPad, iPhone, Mac Pro, Air, iMac 2012 all working fine on Gmail App Specific passwords. Just my iMac 2009, presume its my bad and in need of a revoke. Sorry for wasting all your time.

  • ICloud Keychain - Works with iOS devices but having issues with Mavericks

    Has anyone had an issue where the iCloud keychain will sync normally to iOS devices but not in Mavericks? It worked fine up until a day or two ago when I was forced to recreate my user profile. (a completely seperate issue forced it) Since then I've been rebuilding my profile but did not use the original Library files so as to avoid a reoccurance of the other problem.
    Have tried multiple things including a complete reset (saving my keychain locally on an iPhone) and then reactivating. All passwords and CC information will sync normally to one of my other Macs and my iPad but my MacBook Air (with the new profile) won't cooperate. There are no errors or alerts and takes my security code to activate it. However, when I look in Safari it only pulls a few 'old' autofill passwords and no CC information.
    Actually just tried loading my iCloud settings (including keychain) in the Admin account on the computer and it worked fine. So the issue appears to be limited to my new profile. Wondering if there's a keychain/preference file associated with Safari that's intereing with it receiving a clean sync from the Cloud. Ideas?

    Just tried resetting my login.keychain and that did not fix the issue either.

  • How do I sign back in to iCloud on my Mac after signing out in order to fix a keychain issue?

    I signed out of iCloud, following directions on how to fix a keychain issue with all my devices.  I was to sign them all out then sign back in on the one with the most info, which is my Mac.  I opened Preferences, then iCloud, but the button with "Sign Out" which I assumed would be a toggle does not produce an option for signing back in!  Help!

    So the iCloud button in System Preferences still says "Sign Out"?
    Yes, it is a toggle.  If it says "Sign Out", then you are signed in!  Sign out, then sign back in.

    Hello there, Thor.
    It sounds like you are setting up iCloud Keychain and need to provide a mobile number for SMS verification. It looks like Cambodia is not listed for you because iCloud Keychain is not yet available in that country. The following Knowledge Base articles provide more information and updates on iCloud Keychain availability:

  • Why can't I re-enable iCloud Keychain on my iMac?

    Hi,
    I recently noticed that iCloud Keychain stopped syncing passwords between my devices. While my iMac was up-to-date, my iPad mini, iPhone and MacBook weren't. I found a support article that suggested disabling iCloud Keychain on all devices and re-enabling it later. I followed that advice only to be presented with a completely new issue.
    On my iMac (27" Late 2012, Mac OS X 10.9.1), when I try re-enabling iCloud Keychain, I get the following error message after waiting for a few minutes:
    "iCloud Keychain couldn't be set up because there was a problem communicating with iCloud. Try turning on Keychain again." (transcribed for sight-impaired users and search engines)
    I've tried this about a dozen times over the past few weeks now (just in case it is a server-side error), but still no luck. I tried investigating and found the following error message pop up in Console at the same time as the error in the above image:
    13.02.14 16:44:59,761 com.apple.preferences.icloud.remoteservice[9342]: [AOSAccounts] :  [registerCredentials]  : SOSCCSetUserCredentials Error The operation couldn’t be completed. Invalid argument.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could try to overcome this issue? Or could anyone from Apple see if there is something wrong with the iCloud Keychain data in my account?
    Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Alex

    This is a shot in the dark, but try this:
    log-in to your iCloud account with your Apple ID
    change your password
    ensure your billing information is up-to-date
    attempt to re-enable your Keychain (again)

  • Wi-Fi not connecting due to keychain issues

    Here is an odd issue that has crept up a month or so after upgrading to Mavericks. When I put my MacBookPro8,1 to sleep or reboot the Wi-Fi will not connect automatically. It appears to try but then fails miserably. However, I go to the Wi-Fi menu item and can manually select my network and it will connect. As it is connecting I am displayed with a dialog titled, "Keychain Not Found" with text of "Keychain 'System' cannot be found to store 'HCC.'" HCC is the name of the secured network I am connecting to. The SSID is hidden, but obviously it is not an issue with Mavericks properly identifyng it. This is my office router, but the same issue happens at home with my secured router with the SSID broadcasting.
    As I am looking at the dialog and deciding what to do, the Wi-Fi menu item indicates a connection and internet traffic starts to flow. I then click "Cancel" in the dialog and am presented with another dialog indiciating the network could not be joined with options to "Cancel" or "Run Diagnostics." On other occassions I have chosen "Reset to Defaults" in the "Keychain Not Found" dialog, but the secondary window asking for my password acts oddly. It remains shaded as if front most window, no matter what window I activate. Even if no other apps are running and the window appears to be frontmost, I cannot type a password or press return to trigger the "OK" button.
    I got the problem to go away for a fe days when I disabled iCloud Keychain, reset my keychain from Keychain Access, and rebooted. However, a few days after turning iCloud Keychain back on the problem persists.
    I am pasting in some console messages broken down into the steps I took when waking from sleep and selecting the network from the menu bar. I redacted my mac address and certificate identifiers.

  • I am trying to set up iCloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line, even tho I have gone into my apple account and changed to my mobile phone

    I am trying to set up Icloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line (which I guess I entered back when I first got my MacBook).  I have gone into my apple account and changed the # to my mobile phone, but it continued to send it to the land line.  Probably is something simple, but I am not a techy!! 

    Hi,
    As regardss to the iChat and iChat Sharing categorisation you have used.
    In iChat 6 (lion) and Messages (Mountain Lion) the apps login to AIM and to Me.com
    The Login to Me.com allows AIM to verify the password to the iCloud issued names (@me.com and @iCloud.com)
    This "Dual" login also prevents the newer iCloud issued name from using this site
    (it has extra Privacy settings that iChat can't access for your AIM and Aim valid Accounts)
    Ignoring the @mac.com and MobileMe entries in the Add Account Screen in iChat and using the AIM one does not get around this issue.
    AIM and @mac.com names still work in older versions of iChat.
    The short answer is that iCloud issued Apple IDs do not work in iChat 5 or Earlier.

  • Share iCloud KeyChain & Bookmarks?

    Hey gang... I have a question as it relates to iCloud and more specifically, icloud Keychain.
    Up until now, the way my wife and I have things setup is we have one family icloud account which we use for all our iTunes and Apple Store purchases and then we each have our own separate icloud account for our personal emails, calendars etc. 
    Would it be a good idea to use the Family iCloud account as both of our main accounts on iOS devices so we can share/sync bookmarks and iCloud Keychain and then our separate personal icloud account would be added as a second account.
    The downside to this approach is since the iOS 7 upgrade, Apple only allows the primary icloud account on the iOS device to have documents/data, bookmarks and keychain.  Secondary accounts do not have these options.  This will result in us certainly going over the free GB storage provided by iCloud since we back our devices to the cloud.
    Any suggestions/recommendations?  We share approximately 80-90% of our website logins to most message boards, financial sites etc so it would make sense to have a shared iCloud Keychain that is always in sync and up to date.
    Thanks
    Marco

    Yep - I just ran into this for iCloud Keychain.  Like you, I've set up for my wife and I a shared iCloud account that we use for Contacts and Calendar so we always have the same data on our iPhones and Macbooks. 
    We've also used a shared LastPass account for a few years.  I just got a 5s with the fingerprint reader and thought that was worth trying to switch to iCloud Keychain.  However, I quickly ran into this dumb limitation of Apple not allowing this for a non-primary iCloud account.  This totally makes the feature useless for us - like you - and like many other families. 
    iCloud in general is just not designed with sharing/families in mind, which is very sad.  This hurts their customers in many areas including iBooks, NewsStand, Pages/Numbers/Keynote with docs stored in iCloud.  Do they really expect a family to buy multiple copies of the same book?  To have to email documents to each other to share (forget about collaborative editing)?  Even setting up shared calendar and contacts that I did took a lot of work and would be beyond the ability of a large percentage of home users.
    I don't suppose anyone here has any connection to Apple developers who could give some sort of response to this issue?  I guess I could go to one of my local Apple Stores and talk to a "Genious" about this.  I'm sure it would be an exercise in futility like I've had on several previous occasions when asking about iOS and/or OSX features.  It always starts with some confusion in trying to get them to understand what I'm asking.  That's usually followed by comments from them to the effect of "why would anyone want to do that".  And, finally, if I can convince them that it's actually something really useful, followed by comments to the effect of "It just doesn't do that. Thanks for coming in!".
    Maybe I won't bother

  • HT5834 can't turn off iCloud keychain on apple devices and can't get them to sync !

    i could gey my apple devices to sync icloud keychains , nor could i get them to turn off icloud key chain.
    Solution: Reset icloud keycahin using forgot passcode option, it will reset the entire icloud keycahin and bring every thing back to the way it is supposed to be. approve all the devices using the one used to reset, and you are all good to go !!

    You're my best friend.  Seriously.  I've read virtually every thread I could find on this issue, and this is the only thing that worked.  Has been driving me bonkers since getting the iPhone 6 in September.  THANK YOU!!

  • ICloud Keychain setup failing despite entering correct verification code

    I just installed Yosemite and I'm having trouble setting up iCloud keychain. I've done this about 7 times now and its not working. I go to set up iCloud Keycain (in iCoud prefs pane) i enter my Apple account password, then my 4 digit pin code, then i get an sms with verification code, i enter it in the dialog and it says the code is incorrect and now I've entered it too many times so now it says I must verify through Apple support. It was the same thing when I tried setting it up during Yosemite installation.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Hello michelesapple,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand you are unable to receive the iCloud Keychain verification code.  I'm sorry this is causing so much frustration, but it is understandable as it's a great feature to use.  To troubleshoot this specific issue where you're not receiving the SMS, please follow the steps below.
    If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number. 
    On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.
