ICloud Keychains problems!

Everytime I turn on my MacBook, is required my keychains password, saying "iCloud.helper wants to use information". It is a really annoying problem. I am also having trouble while activating the iCloud Keychains, after the ID password it says that "The keychains were not activated due to a connection problem with iCloud". My email is not working too, it insists on requiring my password every second. This happened after the latest software update OS X Mavericks. What shoul I do? I am a new MacBook user.

ICloud Keychain problems email account still appearing

I have a problem with iCloud Keychain as an old email account keeps reappearing despite me removing it from all my macs and iPhone devices. This email account is no more seeing that my old ISP closed down their email servers for good. Plus I changed my ISP but still it keeps reappearing.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this rogue old email account?
This always happens when I reinstall mavericks
It's ruddy annoying!!!
Thanks.

Back up all data. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. 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.

Hello
I had the same problem but i have overpassed it by trying the below :
If your country is not listed here, SMS verification is not currently available in your country. You can still use iCloud Keychain by following these steps:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3
Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain.
Enter your Apple ID password.
When asked if you want to use your device passcode as the iCloud Security Code, tap Create Different Code.
Tap Advanced Options, then choose one of these options:
Get a Random Security Code.
Don't Create Security Code. Choosing not to create an iCloud Security Code means that your iCloud Keychain is stored only locally on your device and updates only across your approved devices, not with Apple's servers.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup of iCloud Keychain.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then select Keychain.
Enter your Apple ID password.
Click Advanced, then choose one of these two options:
Get a Random Security Code.
Don't Create Security Code. Choosing not to create an iCloud Security Code means that your iCloud Keychain is stored only locally on your Mac and updates only across your approved devices, not with Apple's servers.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup of iCloud Keychain.

Hi, nportillo,
The next time you attempt to reach Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Do not choose the obvious - you have already established that path is not working. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
Skype is aware of problems reaching their customer service unit via the website, however people are getting through. I have flagged your report for follow-up by those to whom I report.
Regards,
Elaine

Yosemite iCloud keychain code problems

I have two computers(MBP, MacPro), iPhone and iPad. Yosemite on MBP, Mavericks on the Mac Pro.
I thought I had keychain sharing set up on all devices.
I start up message on MBP - and it hangs - spinning wheel forever. I start looking around - my iPhone isn't sharing keychain anymore. Neither is my MBP - I try to turn it on - asks for security code, two different ones - and either I don't remember code I set up or something is screwed. Now it says I need to contact support to verify my identity and dumps me to a generic support web site. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/keychain/
Also - when I have it use another device to approve - only the MacPro gets the request - but it doesn't seem to work. I do get the SMS on my phone - but I still seem to be missing the iCloud security code - which I can't seem to change ANYWHERE!
I'm doing this from the non-admin user account on my MBP. I also tried from the admin account - and faired no better.

I figured out the message/facetime problem. I had one of the MBPs that did not have the serial number written to firmware. Message and FaceTime would never complete a login. I downloaded the blank board serializer, burned a CD and booted it - entering the serial number I found under the battery and they started working.

How can I prevent Safari/iCloud Keychain from saving data in our password field?

We have a web-based management system where administrators can set and update passwords for individual users. While I love iCloud keychain personally, the problem we are finding is that if the user, once prompted by Safari to Save the password in iCloud Keychain for Autofill, actually clicks 'Save Password', then our page wants to autofill that same password for any selected user or newly added user (and since we don't allow duplicates, constant errors result).
So the basic question: is there a way in HTML or Javascript to set form fields - or an entire form or div - to be ignored by iCloud Keychain, even if they are username or password fields.
We know we could just tell all our Safari users to disable in preferences with a pop-up banner, but that would be unfortunate (and IE-like)
(If this is the wrong place to find this type of info, any clue appreciated. Naturally we've searched a bunch already)

Can I remove my iCloud Keychain from Apple's servers?
Yes. Follow these steps, starting on any one of your iOS devices or Macs that is using iCloud Keychain:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain and turn off “Approve with Security Code”.
Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account details.
Deselect “Allow approving using security code”.
Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
After you complete these steps, your keychain data will remain locally on your devices, but changes to your keychain information will not push to your other devices or the cloud unless you turn iCloud Keychain back on. If you want keychain data to push to all of your devices, but not to the cloud, turn on iCloud Keychain on each device as described earlier in this document, but skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code.

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)

Can't enable iCloud keychain on any devices

I seem to have been logged out of Keychain on my two macs and my iPhone. When I try to sign in by getting approval from another device nothing happens and when I use the passcode I get a message saying "iCloud Keychain could not be restored due to a problem communicating with iCloud.
This is on an iPhone 5 and two MacBook Airs, all running the most up to date software.
All other iCloud services are working fine and dandy.
I've tried repairing permissions on the macs and logging out of all my iCloud accounts and back in.
I'm very much at a loss as to what else to try short of Applecare / Genius Bar!

If you can't receive the verification code via sms on your phone, then you need to contact Apple support as the prompt indicates. They can verify your credentials and add your device to the keychain: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

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?

ICloud Keychain won't turn off

I tried to turn iCloud keychain when I set up my iPhone. It requires a security code which is set to an old international number I no longer have. When I click on "Don't have access to this phone" it takes me to iCloud Support, which gives no answers. When I try to turn Keychain off, it turns itself back on. I keep getting messages about approving iCloud keychain and I can't do anything to get out of this circle. I tried to change the verification number according to the Apple Support directions - Settings-iCloud-Keychain-Advanced, but there is no advanced option in iOS8. I don't really want Keychain - just want to turn it off and quit getting these annoying messages.

The problem persists with iOS 8.3 and OS 10.10.3. Please help!

Icloud keychain activation/verification issue-

GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS!   ——> _so, … … … … first things first, i suppose:
Machine information [model/year/os/etc.]
iMac 21.5”, mid 2011
Processor: 2.5GHz intel core i5
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
Serial No: C02GWR7PDHJF
Operating System: OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2)
          i know that listing all the specs. was probably superfluous and irrelevant to solving my problem, but you never know….
                          So….i decided to activate my icloud keychain for safari (Version 8.0.3), when i was directed to the dialogue box that i needed to check to do so, i of course had to type in my admin password - no problem …then it prompted me for a 4-digit security code - i realized that i must have set this up previously; knowing that and still not having even the most remote fragmented memory of this event happening worried me way more than the prospect of figuring out what i would have done…so i entered the correct code on my second try.
          Okay, here’s where things went wrong for me….apparently, my overly cautious…no, more like overly paranoid past-self decided to enable 2-step verification - an added security measure which is completely extraneous and annoying when it comes to my own personal lack of a need for protection…it became more than an annoyance when i realized that the phone number i submitted to have the verification code(s) sent was to a phone that i no longer own; needless to say, i don’t have access to any other devices where keychain is already enabled….how to prove my identity??? PLZ HELP

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:

Cannot re-sync iCloud keychain since upgrade

When I installed Yosemite, I was forced to re-add the iCloud keychain back to all of my devices. I did this quickly on my iPad and iPhone, but I am having issues doing that step on my Mac (which had the iCloud Keychain under 10.9). When I do that, I get this message: "iCloud Keychain could not be set up because there was a problem communicating with iCloud. Try turning on Keychain again."

ICloud Keychain showing too many devices?

I have a strange problem that's currently frustrating me. I have 4 devices, an iPhone 5, iPad 2, MacBook Air and iMac. It all started when I began to have trouble with my MacBook Air (another story). I've since setup Mavericks a couple of times on that device and it appears that it's registered itself to iCloud Keychain multiple times too.
Recently I've been trying to resolve sync issues with internet accounts across my devices and when I remove a Google account, for example, from my iMac, which has iCloud Keychain turned on, it corretly asks me if I want to remove the account from my other devices but lists my other devices as "MacBook Air", "MacBook Air" and "MacBook Air", nowhere does it mention my iPhone or iPad.
I'm wondering how my MacBook Air has come to appear 3 times in my iCloud Keychain and what, if anything, I can do about it. The reson I want to try and resolve this is because I'm pretty sure that stored Keychain data for "Internet Accounts" on the 3 phantom MacBook Airs is also messing up my ability to sync Google Calendars with iCal, the biggest source of my frustration!

Hello there, DesertRatR.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information on what to do to remove devices from iCloud verification:
Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support
What if I lose or give away one of my trusted devices?
If you no longer have access to one of your devices, go to My Apple ID as soon as possible to remove that device from your list of trusted devices. That device can then no longer be used to help verify your identity.
What if I no longer have access to any of my trusted devices?
If you can't access any of your trusted devices, you can still access your account using your password and Recovery Key. You should then verify a new trusted device as soon as possible.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
