Is there any way to permanently delete/disable keychain on 10.8?

Hey guys,
This is my first post in the Apple support forum.
I work in the I.T helpdesk office for a leading australian University.
Currently we have roughly 600 apple based computers running in our network, a problem i come across the most is the Keychain.
The company i work for has a policy that requires end users to change their passwords every 6 months, unfortunatly their login details are changed but their keychain is not thus creating password conflicts, account lockouts etc.
Is there any way i can just disable the keychain so its not required any more
Im pretty sure theirs not possible but it cant hurt to ask, theres a very strong chance that theres someone out there who's figured it out

even if that were possible, you wouldn't want to do that as Keychain stores numerous certificates, which are needed to verify the authenticity of secure connections.

    With Snow Leopard if you delete a file (put it the trash) and then do a secure delete it's gone.
    The OP is adressing SSD's in particular. Neither Snow Leopard nor Lion have the ability to secure erase an SSD of a single file by user action. This because SSD's write data in pages, but can only delete in blocks. Secure emptying of the trash on an SSD is no different than a non-secure erase, as the controller will not permit erasure of blocks until the entire block is freed, which is almost never the case with even group file deletion. Erasure is simply the re-writing of the "allocation table" that the pages are no longer in use.
    SSD's are only rendered "erased" of previous data after an indeterminate period of use, and re-use that would eventually free blocks for re-write, and then actually over-written.
    TRIM helps speed this process, but does not alleviate the block versus page issue.
    Some additional info.

  • HT5163 Is there any way to permanently delete and restore email messages from my IPad without erasing everything?

    I am not familiar with IPad usage but wondered if there is a way to remove all my emails without removing everything else, ie: photos, songs..?  Does a restore erase  everything? Thanks!

    I cannot delete an email address that was also an Apple ID for awhile. It keeps coming up as an "email return to" address on compose in gmail.
    As a result, I removed all mention of it in my keychain and cancelled it in Google. I called Apple support and for awhile was able to use time
    machine to restore it, then lost all my addresses again. My iPad mini has addresses on it but I'm concerned that if it syncs with my Macbook Air
    the iPad addresses will disappear also. How can I prevent an unwanted sync?

  • Is there any way to permanently disable(not usable) your iPod touch while you still have it?

    Is there any way to permanently disable Itouch 4th gen

    Only password on lock screen and restrictions for certain apps could be helpful in that case.
    But restoring will remove this protection and delete all data, so make sure that other people can not take your iPod away from you.
    Other than that, no.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • HT201250 is there any way to retrieve deleted time machine backups?

    is there any way to retrieve deleted time machine backups? it has now deleted the oldest, but most important backup. It was made right before before upgrading to mountain lion. Because I had some issues with placing the files back the way I wanted, I had to connect my hard drive to my mac several times. Result, everytime I did so, a backup was made. Like today, when I was transferring everything from that specific backup. But in the meantime Time Machine made a new backup, deleting the old one I was using.  Ironically, I lost everything while I was transferring the files back to my mac. Please give me good news.

    Once the external hard drive that you use for Time machine deleted its oldest backup and overwrote it, the ability to retrieve those files disappeared.  They are gone for good.
    Hope this helps

    is there any way to retrieve deleted texts messages on KIN TWO M?

    Unfortunately, no, not unless you had them backed up somewhere (like with bitpim software).  Once the texts are deleted from the phone, they're gone.
