Key Chain basics

In preferences I have all checked in the repair tab. Is this the best option ?
Also when I go to my airport extreme disc it asks for my user account password. And when I sign in, the locker in the key chain login becomes open.
Since then, it will not ask me again.
Leaving always the keychain login open it's the best way ? Any adjustment can be made in the preferences ?

This is normal. If you wish, you can open the keychain and remove it or even change it.

You do not have to keep the keychain app running, if that's what you mean.
Once you set the preferences, close it and it will work fine.
You only need to open it for repair or to change things. It automatically stores every password.
If you open the keychain app you can access the Help and there you will find much information about using it.

How to fix Key Chain pop up

Every once in awhile I come across going on the internet or doing essentially anything on my Mac. and my key chain keeps popping up, saying it needs a password. I dont know the password, I dont remember ever putting in a password for it when I first got this. I dont know how to have it stop popping up. I have gone through the basic instructions of getting to key note access, but from there, Im lost. Can anyone help me fix the random pop up?

Miahboobear,
Does this happen all the time when you do anything or just randomly now and then?

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, therefore i can no longer access my emails using mail. I can access my email through my Gmail account no problem, so how do i fix this as i cannot remember my IMAP password.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, as a result i cannot access my google email using the Mac Mail. I cannot remember what the password was for IMAP, so can anyone help to resolve this. i can access my mail by going directly to Google Mail.
Regards JKG1135

The password for use in the Mail application would be the same password you use when accessing Gmail by using an internet browser. The exception to that would be if you have 2-step verification enabled for Gmail. If that is the case then you would need to use an "application-specific password." If you are using 2-step, you can revoke the previous application-specific password and get a new one as described in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

Not sure what other tests they could run for me. I've pretty much run all the tests I can using Drive Genius and Tech Tool Pro 5. Is there anything they use that I don't know about??

Case insensitive search on subject name to retrieve a certificate from key chain.

Hi,
I need to find the client certificate from key chain based on the subject name.
Currently, I am using attribute kSecLabelItemAttr and providing the subject name to create the attribute list for the API "SecKeychainSearchCreateFromAttributes" which gives the certificate.
Problem: This certificate search is case sensitive for the subject name.
Question: Is there a way to do a case insensitive search on a subject name to get a certificate on snow leopard? I found the attribute "kSecMatchCaseInsensitive" which works with key "kSecClassCertificate" in the API "SecItemCopyMatching", but the key kSecClassCertificate is only available for 10.7 and later.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Reference/keycha inservices/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000898-CH4g-SW7
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

I think there is issue with your logon trigger :
"IF ((USER = 'MyAppUSER') OR(USER = 'MyAppREPORTINGUSER')) THEN"
it should be :
IF UPPER(USER) = 'MYAPPUSER' OR UPPER(USER) = 'MYAPPREPORTINGUSER' THEN
because user name stored in Upper case. Check and try.

Rephrase your question. Do you mean you keep getting login key chain errors?

Key Chain will not open any info on items

Hello all. I would be greatful to know how I can fix my Key Chain Items, Passwords, Secure Passwords etc. I can open my Key Chain but when I double click or try to open the Item info nothing happens? I have tried the First Aid but nothing? Why will the items not open in a window so you can put your password in and get the info contained in the Item???Any Help would be well recieved. DH

Try deleting com.apple.keychainaccess.plist.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keychainaccess.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Don't know for sure but select File>Open Library
On the right you will see all the available Libraries (whose names end in ".fcpbundle")
Select the one you want and it should load into FCP X.

Having problems with key chain password

I just got my mac book yesterday, and I'm having problems with my keychain password.
My keychain password is not the same as my login password, it won't accept it, so i think i made a typing error.
Each time i go on to safari, it asks for the password, which i don't have. i've tried the key chain first aid, and that still doesn't work. I've also tried keychain access, and that also doesn't work as it asks for the password first!
Is there a way that i can reset it?

There are user passwords and Administrator passwords. The only way to check your keychain password is to be the administrator. In an effort to secure my MacBook, I have an administrator account that I don't use at all and I have a user account that is all I use. It is a great way to protect your MacBook info from others.
As to your question, passwords are case sensitive. You can try to change the password by inserting the CD's that came with your MacBook and reset the password. Seeing that you just got it yesterday, you probably don't have much personal information on it yet, you could use disk utility from the CD and reinstall the Operating System.
Good Luck.

What is "appleidauthagent"? It keeps asking for access to a key chain

When I power up my iMac I get a dialogue box stating that appleidauthagent wants access to a key chain that I do not even have on the computer anymore. I usually hit "Cancel" or waith a minute or so and the dialogue goes away. I am not sure if this causes any problems, but at the very least it is very annoying.
Is there a way to keep this from happening?
Thanks!

I tried your fix but still didnt stop the popup - however I had to remove the following files as well
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync*.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.idisk*.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.idisk*.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist
~/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Prefernces/ByHost/com.apple.coreservices.appleidauthenticationinfo*.plist
~/Library/Prefernces/ByHost/com.apple.coreservices.appleidauthenticationinfo*.plist.lockfile
and then rebooted computer
I believe it is to do with remnant files from mobileme.com, mac.com and iDisk
problem now solved

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Is Anyone Else Having Problems With Key Chains After Installation?

My installation went ok but I'm having all kinds of problems with Key Chains now that I didn't before. In addition to them being corrupted, it won't let me save corrected names and passwords even when it asks for them.

Is there a fix if you don't have your Key Chains folder from before the 10.6 installation? I keep having to re-type my MobileMe and student Gmail passwords in Mail, and if I check remember password in Key Chain, I keep having to re-type the password until I uncheck the box, but then that means I have re-type the password every time I send an email or put the computer to sleep.
Also, Keychain Access's First Aid shows that there are no problems whatsoever. When I click on MobileMe in my System Preferences I get 8 or so consecutive errors stating "Keychain Error. There was a problem saving to your keychain. Try again or use Keychain Access to verify your keychain." When I look at my login within Keychain Access, it says my MobileMe keychain is restricted (even after entering my administrator password).
