Icloud keychain setup does not terminate during mac oxs mavericks update

The icloud keychain setup does not terminate (in order for the install to continue) during a mac OSX maverick update from 10.8.something. Any idea?

I found the solution!
Open Calendar on your Mac.
In the left column list of calendars, right click on the calendar in question and "Get Info"
Check the box labeled "Ignore alerts"

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?

How can i continue my icloud keychain on my ipod if i no longer have the phone number from my iphone5c?

How can I get my icloud keychain to my ipod if I no longer have my iphone 5c

If you have iCloud Keychain set up on another device, you can update your SMS number via that other device in order to verify your new device. If you do not have another device available or you do not have an SMS capable number, you will need to contact Apple for identity verification in order to bypass that phone number authentication. See below.

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:
iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

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.

HT1212 what is an iCloud keychain verification code and how is it used?

I recently had my iPhone replaced. During the setup, i got a text with an iCloud keychain verification code, but I cannot see where I use this code (I presume to unlock all the passwords the keychain contains).

It seems like one of these in the link I provided answers your question:
How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
Your iCloud Security Code
The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.
Can Apple recover my iCloud Security Code?
No. If you enter your iCloud Security Code incorrectly too many times, you won't be able to use that iCloud Keychain. You can contact Apple Support, who can help verify your identity so that you can try again to enter your iCloud Security Code. After a number of incorrect attempts, your iCloud Keychain is removed from Apple's servers and you will need to set up iCloud Keychain again.

WARNING: iOS upgrade pitfall: iCloud Keychain deleted because incompatible with Google Voice

If the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain is a Google Voice number, the verification code Apple tries to send via SMS to this phone number will not arrive. When I contacted Apple Support, after upgrading my iPhone to 7.0.4, because I did not get the verification code, they did not help me complete iCloud Keychain setup, other than to guide me through steps that would delete my keychain and force me to start over.)

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_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.

ICloud keychain couldn't be restored

Hi
I got this problem since 10.10 .
When I used iCloud keychain setup ( got SMS form apple 4 digit and type on my Mac ) still this message "icloud keychain couldn't be restored because there was a problem communicating with iCloud" .
any idea ?
please help Thanks .
PS. sorry for my bad English.

@hesbond
Do you have alternative devices that uses iOS 8 like on iPad/mini or iPhone? If yes, do this.
Step 1
- Sign out all your icloud accounts in any of your devices and computers
- Make 1 device (iPhone or iPad) that will lead all of icloud keychain request. Make sure your phone number is existing too.
Step 2
- I prefer iPad or iPhone (iOS 8), and sign-in using your default account
- Check if the keychain is off, then turn it on
- Once it on, configure to create new 4 digit code. Again, do not use the old. Create new code.
- Fill up the phone number and your iCloud password.
- Your device now enabled the keychain and will approve any request from other device.
Step 3
- Go to your desktop, System Preferences > iCloud > Keychain (will noticed, it is unchecked)
- Click Options and request approval, Do not "Use code".
- Once it done, Go to your device (iPad or iPhone), approve the request by filling-up the password
- Your keychain is active on your desktop.
* Do the same thing on Step 2, if you would like to have your desktop as your default request approval from all devices or leave it in your phone.
** If you change phone number, make sure to update your keychain.
Hope this help. And I figured this out just today, Dec 16, 2014 : 10am (Philippine Time)

Could not setup icloud keychain error

I've been trying to find out what is wrong, and I'm hoping there is a simple answer. I've got a brand new iPad mini with retina display, got 7.0.4 installed. When i go to Settings>iCloud>Keychain and try to slide the button to turn on Keychain, all i get is an error window that says "Could Not Setup iCloud Keychain." That's it. I've searched the internet and there are lots of lovely explanations as to how to set things up, but no one is mentioning this error. Am i the only one getting it? Is there a fix? Please help!

One thing I've noticed that can cause this error is: when you set the phone number that can receive texts, you set the country code for the phone number first, and must not include the country code on the line requesting your phone number.

What should I do if I no longer have access to the phone number that my iCloud keychain verification code is sent to?

When I first turned in iCloud keychain I had no other Apple devises so I put in a phone number for it to send my verification number to. Then I had to delete that phone number but the iCloud keychain number is still saying it is going to send the verification number to that phone. How do I program in that that number is no longer active. Please help!!!!!

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.

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
