Keychain Access problems: error -2147415734

Help!
i am currently unable to open .mac in my system preferences and i get the following message: "There was a problem saving to your keychain. Please try again or use Keychain Access to verify your keychain. Error: -2147415734"
i have gone to keychain access and done keychain first aid and that resulted with no problems but didnt fix the issue. i have also gone into my .mac password in the keychain and it will not allow me to type in a new password. in fact, i cannot even click on the box next to "Show Password" on the bottom. The box momentarily shows a check mark and then it disappears. when i try this for my wife's .mac account that is also in the keychain that works.
when i click on the menu bar icon for syncing to .mac it connects and gives me the following message: "Invalid .Mac Username or Password. Please verify your .Mac Member Name and Password in .Mac System Preferences."
because i cant get into .mac system preferences (i get the error message -2147415734) this is circular and i cant figure out how to break out of it.
any suggestions?

Try deleting the .Mac entry in your keychain, then trying to reconnect to the .Mac account. IIRC, that should prompt for a new username/password combo.

Keychain Access problem

not sure if this is the right forum for this, please move it if it's not.
I was trying to buy something in the iTunes store, but when I was trying to log in with my account, it said "The requested keychain was invalid", and told me to run Keychain Access/Keychain First Aid.
This is what happens when I do:

I have a friend who has Leopard... Can I just find this file on his computer and copy it over to mine, or how exactly does this work?
Thanks.

Hi and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'm not certain, but a Leopard one will likely work.
If need be I could Archive mine and post a link, but it requires a bit of manipulation.

Keychain access problems after Safari 3.1 update?

I recently installed the Safari 3.1 update. Two other updates were available and I installed them at the same time. One was a security update - I don't recall the other (and, strangely, the update log is blank). After this update, I received the message that "Safari has been changed and moved, so you need to grant permission for access to the Keychain." I selected "allow all" and things seemed to progress.
The next time I started Safari, the same message. I again selected "allow all", but the program hung. I forced it to quit, tried again, same result. I ran the system maintenance programs, repaired permissions, etc. (using Cocktail) and got the same result. Keychain Access itself seems to hang and becomes unresponsive. Firefox appears to be unaffected, but I don't use it as much.
The problem seems to be with Safari 3.1 - has anyone else experienced this problem? If I uninstall Safari, download and install 3.1 over again, is there a way to save my bookmarks and cookies to reimport?

In installing the Safari Update (along with Quicktime 7.4.5, iTunes 7.6.2, and Security Update 2008-002 for Power PC), I found my Mac Mini slowed to a crawl and persistently displayed the "beach ball of death" for extended periods of time just starting up ANY program for the first time. Just restarting the computer took forever and trying to use Disk Utility did nothing.
I have talked with a friend whose son had all sorts of problems with his newer i-mac upon installation of this Safari update. I am crawling along with my machine right now, not one bit happy.
I have no answers, just a note to show I also am having problems since this update. Keychain? Never use it. I am thinking of just trying to re-install the older Safari version-3.04. Suggestions?

Keychain Access Problem: Correct Access

I hope someone can help me, I accidently choose "Always Allow" instead of "Allow Once" after selecting "Show password" in Keychain Access Attributes. I am not experienced here and cannot find anything to help me change this back. How can I switch back to where this application password does not always allow access?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Before I do anything, one more question:
In: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html
Under 'Help Viewer displays a blank window / Solutions' it says to Trash 3 files:
Home > Library > Preferences folder
1. com.apple.help.plist
2. com.apple.helpui.plist
3. com.apple.helpviewer.plist
and 1 folder:
Home > Library > Caches folder
1. com.apple.helpui.
I am missing the 'com.apple.helpui.plist' file. (I did a search and couldn't find it.) At the same time I found a strange one... 'null.plist' which when opened read:
bplist00N_ApplicationCrashedAfterRelaunch-/
What happened... Can this be the missing one?
Where do I go from here, just trash the ones that exist and go on?
What about null.plist?
I could use a little more help please. It would be appreciated.

Keychain access problem after boot to Tiger on another partition

Hi,
I ran into an odd problem today. I have two partitions on my PowerBook's internal hard drive, the main one, and a smaller one that I boot into to run maintenance jobs on the main partition. The main partition is running 10.5.2 and the maintenance partition is running 10.4.8. When in the maintenance partition, I noticed that Spotlight was indexing, so I stopped it. I was in the maintenance partition to try to run DiskWarrior on the main partition, but it kept giving me a "Disk in Use" error, so I was never able to even start this. After rebooting to the main 10.5.2 partition, however, I was unable to connect to my home wireless network. I had to retype the network name and password. After that, I started being asked for passwords for things that I knew were stored in my Keychain. I looked in Keychain, and the passwords are still there; it seems that the connection between the apps and Keychain are broken somehow. Does anyone know what might have happened, and if so, if there's a quick fix to get things back to where they were before? I don't have a problem with lost passwords, as I have them all recorded in a safe location, but life would be easier if my PowerBook could resume remembering all of the passwords that it remembered before today.
Thanks!
Ken

Whether you believe it or not, I routinely booted between Tiger and Leopard for over sixteen months (beta-tester) and never saw your problem, but then I disabled indexing on all bootable volumes that weren't running Leopard, using the *mdutil -i off* command. Keychains were the same on all boot volumes because I routinely copied them from the current boot volume to the others before switching. Ditto with Safari stuff.

Certificate in keychain access problem

I have obtained three certificates I have to use to access my corporate exchange server and imported them into the login keychain as directed. They do show up in the "certificates" category of the login keychain but not in the "my certificates" category. This is the category that Entourage looks for when allowing me to select a certificate. As a result, I can't select the certificate I need. Any ideas?

hi,
you must import the /system/library/keychain/x509anchors first to your keychain app.
then use #sudo certtool i zetifikat.cer v k=/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors to import it to .../x509anchors. (zertifikat.cer ist your certifikate name) import your certificate (in pem-format) to your keychain. if not in pem-format convert it with ms cert manager (in the office folder of the office app). apply alway trust to the certifikate in keychain.
cheers

Keychain: Cannot Write To Error -2147415734

When trying to use .Mac services today, I received this error:
There was a problem saving to your keychain. Please try again or use Keychain Access to verify your keychain. Error: -2147415734.
The error shows up in System Preferences when clicking on the .Mac icon. I did this because I received an error that my PW was not set up in .Mac. It had been earlier, but disappeared in the night! Here are the steps I have taken so far, with no success:
1. Went to keychain first aid: no errors found
2. Trashed the keychain preferences files
3. Repaired Permissions
4. Rebooted
5. Tried step 1 again
6. Rebooted--logged into command line
7. Ran FSCK check, no errors
8. Rebooted
9. Same problems, ran keychain first aid again, no errors found
10. Sat frustrated
When I enter my missing PW into .Mac, it gives me this error, but accepts the PW in .Mac. It's as if I do not have permissions to save this PW. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have had a .mac account since they became available and have never had a problem logging in until now. When I attempt to open . mac in sys prefs I get the following error message:
"There was a problem saving to your keychain. Please try again or use Keychain Access to verify your keychain. Error: -2147415734."
I have to force quit to exit sys prefs once the message appears. I was able to back up and access sys prefs using the same process yesterday and have not added or removed any software for more than a week (except via software update). I tried deleting the apple.com plist from the library, using disk warrior, restarting, correcting permissions, etc with no luck. I can't even open .mac preference pane to input the correct information. Any ideas??? I also posted in dot mac forum.

Keychain Error Error: -2147415734

I've been working with System Prefs > .mac to synchronize 2 of my macs for .ME. As with many users on 10.4.11 and lower, my contacts are not syncing to mobile me - during the course of syncing and cleaning, the last time I opened system prefs and clicked on .Mac I received the Keychain error code. I opened Keychain Access > Keychain > Keychain Firstaid. I verified the keychain and repaired the keychain. Rebooted, opened System Prefs > .Mac again and got the same error code. Opened Keychain Access again and found no problems.
Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.

Hey, sorry for the delay in replying. Yes, not only did I use Keychain First Aid on both computers, I reset the Keychain on both computers and as of tonight, I went into System Pref > .Mac > Advanced and deleted my laptop as an authorized computer, thinking I would get the Mini working first. I have currently deleted all mail accounts, all calendars, all contacts (actually saved everything to a folder) and reset my Keychain then synced .Mac again. Still can't get it to work - guess I should have read all of the preparation information better before the change over. Right now, I want zero out everything and start fresh, any idea on how to do that?

Hi Tracy,
Have you changed something on your SharePoint 2007 environment recently before this issue occurred?
This issue may be related to Alternate Access Mappings settings like the following similar post, if you have configured AAM, you can check if this issue happened to some URLs, if it's the case, please add the problematic URLs as a Publish URLs for the default
zone for your web application, and also add these URLs as trusted locations, then check results again.
If above doesn't work, please enable ULS log on verbose level to get more useful log errors which time are corresponding to the errors occur.

Getting error while installing the .p12 file in keychain access

Hi i am trying to install the certificate.p12 file in Keychain Access's Login section on my mac mini. For each .p12 file it showing "This certificate was signed by an unknown authority". But when i tried to install the same .p12 file on other machine, its got install and showing "This is a valid certificate" Before installing this .p12 file, i was able to install the .p12 file. But to install the new .p12 file, i had deleted all the .p12 files and provisioning profiles. After that i was not able to install any .p12 file on my machine. Can anybody help me on this?

Hi Gopi,
Are you trying to add the hosts to your OEM 12c, and then choosing "Deploy Agent"?
Please check this error message about the image file..
The image file C:\oracle\core\12.1.0.2.0\jdk\bin\java.exe is valid, but is for a
machine type other than the current machine.
"Validating OMS_HOST & EM_UPLOAD_PORT failed."
If the agents are deployed earlier from another OEM12c server, please undeploy them and then try.
Thanks,
Rajiv.

Keychain Access and password problems

Simply stated, I can't save my mail passworld to the Keychain - tried clicking the "Save to Keychain" box (so Mail/Entourage asks me for my mail password every time) -
Thrashed around in Keychain Access and tried First Aid - Verify and got:
Verification started
Checking keychain configuration for Perry & Jodi Collier (user ID=501)
Home directory is /Users/pezjode
Error: unable to communicate with the “securityd” process. Please restart your machine and try again. If this does not correct the error, you may need to reinstall the system software.
Verification failed
What is the "securityd" process? Any help on any of the above would be much appreciated!
I seem to have had a lot of trouble with my system post 10.4.9 upgrade - very annoying.
Cheers
PowerBook G4 17 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Thanks for that, I deleted all references to keychains in /Library and logged back in, added a keychain for my username and all is now well.
However, I've just started using MS Entourage (as the Mail program was also freaking out like Safari) and it seems that when I tell this application to save my mail password to the Keychain, it throws a spanner in the works...
Might start a new thread on this one...
cheers

MB Air won't let me sign in to iCloud from System Preferences. I reset Keychain Access and deleted Accounts plist. No problem signing in via web and on other Mac.

Hi all.
I've just been given an Air. I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything (which didn't work very well: no Contacts transferred and the Air Contacts application can't even open manually transferred Contacts Archive .vcf).
Trying to transfer contacts led me to iCloud - I thought I could copy them from there. Then I discovered that I can't sign in to iCloud via System Preferences. I get two error messages. The most common one is 'you cannot sign in at this time'. I've tried every solution on the web: I reinstalled Yosemite. I reset Keychain Access. I deleted Accounts plist.
The other message I occasionally get is 'This is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud account'. It is: I'm logged on fine on my MBP, iPhone and iPad.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Aida

So - I have been having this same issue, and while it's not totally resolved for me, I have figured out what's causing it. I am running a machine with two hard drives and to keep my documents on a separate drive from the OS/Applications, I used the Advanced Option to specify the location of my home drive for my user account under "Users & Groups". I've found that if I reset this to the default path of /Macintosh HD/Users/{username}, that it works fine. However Apple has a bug in that this functionality breaks when you specify your own home directory. Hopefully, this will be addressed in an update.
