Keychain access not working

My macbook pro locked up this morning, now my keychain no longer works. No passwords are saved. Adium, mail, coda...nothing is retaining my passwords. I ran keychain assistant, removed login.keychain and rebooted. Nothing. I've tried everything I've read so far in this forum and still no luck. Any suggestions? Unfortunately I don't have a time machine backup, so I can't revert. I cant work like this. I have passwords stored everywhere. To lose them all is enraging.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
If the box was already selected, open Keychain Access.
From the KA menu bar click KA / Keychain First Aid
Click Verify and if necessary, click Repair
You could also try deleting the Safari Forms Autofill keychain. Make sure to quit then relaunch Safari for changes to take effect.

Create a Distribution Certificate as a p.12 file in Keychain Access not working?

I need to create a Distribution Certificate as a p.12 file. I downloaded my ios_distribution.cer file from iOS Provisioning Portal/Certificates/Distribution/Download but this file will not install on my Keychain Access Certificates. Once installed I need to export as .p12. Why can't I install this .cer file to my keychain access? Thanks

Hi EDUR142, did you find a way round this? If so, please let me know.
I currently can see that these certificates are there in Keychain Access under System'Certificates'.
However in System'Keys' the relevant keys are not there. And in Login'Keys' there are 4 keys that might be the correct ones: 2 public keys, 2 private keys. BUT they do not have an arrow on the left so I cannot see if the correct certificate is associated with them (as it described in the Adobe step by step guide to DPS pg19).
If this is simliar to your issue last year, and you found a solution, pls reply. Thank you.

"Show password" in Keychain Access not working

When I launch Keychain Access and tick the "Show password:" checkbox for a given Keychain item I get prompted to enter my password. After doing so the password field remains blank.
Anyone else run into this problem? Know a workaround?

I'm getting something like this but when I click "Show Password" I get a mumbojumbo of letters and symbols at least 120 characters and clearly not my passworld. Is this something with Maverick, because I've been having a lot of problems.

Keychain Access not working for sometime???

Hello,
What could cause Safari to not offer to remember a log in name and password?
I've noticed that my Keychain Access has not remembered a password in quite sometime.

After restoring iPhone 4S, Login password and Keychain password not working!!

Hey!
So last night my Girlfriend restored her iPhone 4S running iOS 7 as new to fix a battery issue she was experiencing. Before doing this she went through and backed up her photos using iPhoto. She then restored the iPhone as new and when it had completed attempted to login to the mac as it had locked itself due to inactivity. Unfortunately she wasn't able to login and waited until I got home so I could try the password.. When I did get home I tried to login using the password but it didn't work. At that point I realised something had gone wrong so I tried all of my other passwords I had previously used with the mac as well as my Apple ID. None of them worked. At this point I booted to the Recovery 10.8.2 Partition and reset the password using the Password Reset Utility.
I then logged in and attempted to update the Keychain Password (This was the default "Login" keychain so it should be the same password as the Users password.). It didn't accept it so I went through and created a new Keychain to test if Keychain Access Application was working. It accepted the new keychain and I could operate the Application as if nothing was wrong (There was something wrong though, all of my passwords for many websites were stored in this keychain). I then removed the reference to the keychain and moved the keychain file from ~/Keychain folder to the desktop. I then reimported the Keychain and it still did not accept the password.
I called AppleCare to get a second opinion and spoke with a Senior Advisor who told me to just start a new one. I don't mind starting a new Keychain as I know the passwords for the main websites I browse, HOWEVER, I'd like to see if anyone knows what may have happened so I can perhaps prevent this from happening again.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan Freeman

Tlix!
Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I'm quite aware that the restore of an iPhone should not have impacted the login password/keychain password. This thought has been further concreted after consulting a few of my Apple Fanboy buddies who are fairly experienced in troubleshooting issues relating to Mac computers. In regards to try a blank password, I've actually had the exact same thought and will be trying this tonight. I'll be sure to post the results of this to let you know what happens.
Unfortunately I haven't gotten round to making a TM backup of my device, primarily due to my current lack of an external HDD.
Thanks,
Nathan Freeman

Keychain no funciona correctamente / Keychain does not work correctly

Buenas noches,
Me gustaría comunicarle a la comunidad que no me esta funcionando correctamente el Keychain en mi iPad 4 con iOS 8.1, desde que he actualizado tanto mi iPad como mi iPod, he tenido problemas.
En versiones anteriores, cuando ingresaba a una pagina, Keychain me dejaba seleccionar en una solapita que se desprendía que nombre de usuario y contraseña requería, en caso de tener mas de una. Hoy en día, ni siquiera poniendo las primeras letras completa con el resto de los usuarios, sino que simplemente rellena uno solo, el del ultimo ingreso, no me permite seleccionar los otros usuarios ni rellenar con otros usuarios.
A alguien le esta sucediendo lo mismo? Como lo puedo solucionar?
Gracias.

First of all, thanks for replying.
The info you requested is attached.
This router is connected to a ISP so can't negotiate the LFI feature, but I think this would be independent of the CBWFQ.
I've noticed too that the queueing mechanism in the Dialer interface (weighted fair) is not cloned to the Virtual-Access. I've tried to upgrade the IOS too to the latest 11.3T version but still not working.
Instead, I've tried it with a Virtual Template and it works, but I have problems with the negotiated IP address and the NAT feature.
I've found the following technote, where you can read: ...the DSL interfaces do not support service policies that apply fancy queueing since these interfaces do not implement the "back-pressure algorithm" necessary to signal that excess packets should be queued by the Layer 3 (L3) queueing system.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk543/tk545/technologies_tech_note09186a00800b2d29.shtml
I've found some other posts with similar problems.
Could be probably a bug or a limited feature?

Mail yahoo pop access not working.

This has been going on for 2 days now. Re set up my account in mail but nothing just the ! next to the mailbox. Anyone else having problems?

Sending an email is something totally different again - you can send yourself or anyone else an email to any email address.
You can also send or forward any email while on your Yahoo account to yourself or anyone else.
Setting up Yahoo to automatically forward emails to your home email address is something else. Here is an excerpt from Yahoo Help:
+The ability to access Yahoo! Mail using an email reader program such as Outlook, Eudora, or Thunderbird is only available to customers of our premium Yahoo! Mail Plus service. To determine whether you have purchased this service, please visit the My Services page.+
Although this does not mention Apple Mail, it functions exactly like Outlook, etc. so it will not work. Here is the link to the entire help page:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html;_ylt=An EHIP08O6GRC7cEYzjbTbe7myN4
I have no idea why it might have worked for you previously, but according to Yahoo, it cannot be done unless you pay for the service.
So, unless I've totally misunderstood what you are trying to say, I do not have a different answer and it does not have anything to do with your Mac or OS.

Expression using Map access not working....

I am attempting to use the ability to access a Map by key from a binding expression on the jsp. I have extended HashMap and overridden the get method in order to return a Boolean from the get(key) method.
This works:
rendered="#{bean.enabledFunctionSecurityMap['key1']}"
it ends up calling the bean.getEnableFunctionSecurityMap().get("key1");
This should work also but doesn't:
rendered="#{bean.enabledFunctionSecurityMap['key1'] or bean.enabledFunctionSecurityMap['key2']}"
Any reason why a single Boolean returned from a Map would work fine, but a more complex statement with 2 Booleans will not work. Doing a statement like this just accessing multiple boolean getter functions on a bean works, how come access muiltiple Map returns does not?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

All righty then, I solved my own problem.
There were actually 2 issues.
1. I could so far only get this to work if the Overridden Map Object is registered as a manged-bean itself.
2. I was testing to see if it worked by using System.out.println methods in my overridden get() method. Appearantly the JSF EL is smarter than I am. If you have #{binding1 or binding2} and binding1 evaluates to True, binding2 is never evaluated. The expression is short circuited and returns true... DUH....
So this expression fires both bindings....
rendered="#{enabled['key1'] and not enabled['key2']}"
Where enabled is...
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>enabled</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>security.EnabledFunctionSecurityMap</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
Next step will be to try and figure out how to get this to work where the EnabledFunctionSecurityMap is on another bean.
Hope this helps anyone trying to do the same.
Mike

IOS 8.02 guided access not working for Ipad 2

Will the next update for iOS 8 fix the issue for guides access for Ipad 2? Issue; function not working at all. And when will this update come?
We have now tried everything we can think of. Reset settings, totale factory reset etc. This doen both on the Ipad and thorugh iTunes.
For us the Ipad got useless with iOS 8 as we us it as a visitor kiosk using the app SIGN IN. We really regret updating.... please fix asap

I can confirm that this works on 3rd Generation iPads. But not 2nd Generation iPads. I have found that if Guided access was enabled prior to the upgrade it might reset in this process.
Turn off Guided Access in Accessibility / Settings.
Hard reboot. (Hold Home and Lock buttons for 7 seconds)
Turn on Guided Access in Accessibility / Settings. Reset Passcode.
Anyone have luck with a newer model?

10.8 Server - AFP Guest access not working

Hi Folks
I have a brand new Mac Mini server running the latest 10.8.4 and Server.app from the app store (10.8 / v2 / whatever it's called these days). I have everything up and running perfectly except that no matter what I do when users connect via AFP there is no option for them to connect as guest. It literally just does not even show up in the login dialog.
I have several AFP share points setup to allow guest access, I have enabled the option in System Prefs->Users and Groups->Guest User->Allow guests to connect to shared folders. I have even also enabled it via command line tool; serveradmin settings afp:guestAccess = yes
But no matter what I do any machines connecting (either via browsing to the server via finder and connecting or directly from "Connect to server" using the afp:// URI approach) the login dialog doesn't give us the option to select to connect as guest -- it's just not there at all in the dialog box.
This is fairly urgent, a few more days and this server needs to go into production at our school here and this is essential for the way we need to do things. A little more background information: we are bound to both a local OD setup and a campus wide AD setup (not sure if any of this matters or not).
Help and thanks!

And I guess toggling File Sharing on and off about a dozen times it seems to have finally picked up and is allowing guest access to work :/ Answer my own question!

Timed Access not working on new Airport Extreme (802.11n).

I bought a new Airport Extreme (802.11n) to use as a router for my network. The network has a mixture of Macs and PCs, using a mixture of wired and wireless connections.
I configured the security settings with on the Airport Extreme to Timed Access. I set the default setting is to No Access.
Three computers are set with "Everyday, Between 8:00am and 11:00pm"; however, when it's 11:00pm, nothing happens. The three computers continue to have access.
I know the MAC addresses I entered are correct. Does anyone know why the Timed Access is not working?

Yes, the printer was initially set the same way it always was on my old router. It used to pop right up on the list. After I switched I was getting communication errors. Ok, new setup, I wasn't worried yet. When I got to the setup window and it a new printer wasn't found I tried updating drivers. No luck. I then used the IPP mode to enter the IP address with the address on the Canon screen. It failed. I then did the same setup telling it which software from the driver list to use. It still could not see it. The odd part is that the Canon can obviously see the router as its LAN setting read active and it is receiving the IP. I have proceeded to play with every setting on the printer and it is back to factory reset. Oh, I should mention that I have also tried to use Canons network setup utility software and it can not find the connection either. So I really think this is a problem within the router. I have seen many complaints about this on other forums, but most were looking to use the usb on the print server. My Airport is nowhere near my printer and I don't want to lose my all-in-one functions. Some think hard lined ethernet is ancient, but it really is a nice setup. Fast and reliable.

Keychain Will Not Work OS X 10.7.2

I get the below message when I try to open Keychain on my new MacBook Pro. Can anyone help me figure out what I need to do to get this critical program to work properly?
Check with the developer to make sure Keychain Access works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, try to launch Keychain Access. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.

Anonymous Access Not Working on 3 Lists (Slideshow provided in link)

There are three lists that have anonymous access settings configured.
The anonymous access settings however do not work for some reason. I need to know how to make them show up AGAIN.
The SharePoint administrator before me had all the lists working properly with anonymous access.
I, unfortunately, inherited permissions from parent on all lists and sites, and somehow broke the anonymous permissions. They don't work anymore.
Please see the slideshow to view what I am looking at. This will show all pages and their respective permissions per page.
Anonymous access permissions stopped working on all three lists when I disabled them. When I tried to enable them again, I assumed they would work easily, but they do not.
You will be viewing what I see as a site collection administrator. When I try to view in incognito with these settings it doesn't work.

Music quick access not working

Apologies if this has been raised before, I had a quick look and couldn't find it.
I have an iPhone 4s and updated (begrudgingly) to IOS6 at the weekend.
I frequently use my iPhone at work for music. From standby I normally double press the home button and it brings up the play/pause menu for my music, from there I can control the current playlist. This still comes up but doesn't work anymore. Similarly if I'm in the quick access menu at the bottom of my phone and scroll left I get access to the music controls, but again these are not working. The only way to play/pause my music is from within the music app.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with IOS6 or something I should investigate further?
Thanks,
Gillian.

I found a solution by accident, my phone battery died, when I charged it and turned it back on the quick access suddenly worked. The issue reoccurs every now and then, usually when I've rebooted my phone for whatever reason but another reboot always fixes it.
Hope this helps.
Gillian
