Keychain Access to recover password: "Access to this item is restricted."
I need to recover my network password, which I saved in my keychain, but can't figure out how to get it using keychain access. I've tried to get keychain access to reveal other passwords which I do know, but I can't get it to show them either. Here's what I tried to do:
Opened Keychain Access, found the network name, and double clicked on it. A window describes its attributes popped up, but the password field was blank. Clicking on the "Show password" box brought a window saying "Access to this item is restricted." I tried to retrieve other passwords in the keychain today using the same method with the same results.
I'm running Snow Lion, version 10.6.8.
OK, I played around with keychain access for a while, but finally hit on it. For the benefit of others with the same problem, here's what worked:
There are two sections on the left sidebar, Keychains and Category. I'd chosen "Passwords" in the Category section, and eventually, in poking just about everything in that window, I clicked on an arrow which expanded the Keychains section. I kept playing until I clicked on System in the Keychains section. That brought up all of my past networks. I double-clicked on my current network's name and once again clicked on the "show password" box. This time I was asked for my admin password, hit enter, and vois-la! there it was.
The only thing that had happened in the meantime was that I ran Keychain First Aid's verify and repair (found in Keychain Acces's File menu). I have no idea whether this is what changed things, or if it was just expanding the Keychains section, but now I can view any of my passwords in the Paswords choice in the Category section.
Who knows if this will help anyone, but I'll go to some of the other recent threads and post a link to this thread in case it can.

I am the adminstrator and only user of this MacBook. I need to see an internet password which is not stored on my browser or email client. When I go into Keychain Access and check the Show Password box it asks for Keychain password - that is no problem. Enter password, hit OK, then the message comes up Access to this item is restricted. I have gone into File - Get Info and made it read and write to Administrsators, System, Wheel and myself but it still says Restricted. Any ideas anyone PLEASE!!
I posted the same question elsewhere, but after poking around I discovered the following, which might be helpful.
Open Keychain Access, which is in your Applications/Utilities folder. There should be two sections on the left sidebar, Keychains and Category. When I opened it, only the Category section showed, but I eventually found an arrow which expanded the Keychains section.
Choose Login in the Keychains section, and "Passwords" in the Category section. Use the search field to find the program you need the password for, and double-click on it. A window with that program's label will open. Under the Attributes tab, click on the little Show Password checkbox. You'll be asked for your admin password. Once you've entered it, the password will appear in the Show Password field.
As an aside, I thought this is what I was doing all along, so here's another thing I did before it started working: I found Keychain First Aid and ran both the Verify and Repair options. Both of these reported no problems, but it might have done something to encourage things to work right.*

Whenever access to the Internet is needed, clicking on any icon or link (including the Firefox icon) results in a delay of around 20 secs., followed by the appearance of the error message, headed "Malformed File". The message reads 'Firefox couldn't install this item because "install rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.'
Clicking OK or closing the box leads to a further delay of about 20 secs. after which the required action takes place! Of course, it could be said that it's really only a delay, so I should just get used to it, but it's still a malfunction, it's a pain in the neck or another region, and I really would like to cure it. Any suggestions - please????https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/756907

Keychain won't show passwords!!
So when I click on a keychain and click show password a box pops up saying Keychain Access requires that you type your password. When I enter my login password I get a box that says Access to this item is restricted. What am I doing wrong? When I click on another keychain and click show password the box access to this item is restricted pops up without even asking for a password to access.
Please help!Trey Page2 wrote:

I had to reset my apple ID password now I can't log onto any of my apps, I have done all these steps same msg access disabled , How do I fix this...
Hi kmkrodel,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues accessing iCloud on your Mac or iPad after a change in your Apple ID password, you may find the following article helpful:
iCloud: Account troubleshooting
On the other hand, if you are talking about sharing files from your Mac to specific apps on your iPad via iTunes, then this article may be of more use (Note: When using this function, you will only see apps that support file sharing, not all apps on the device):
iOS: About File Sharing

I had to uninstall and re-install iTunes on my PC (Windows XP). I had had to do this previously (yrs ago) and it recovered my music. This time it didn't and I only have the music that I had checked (which was on my iPhone 4S). None of the other songs were recovered (MANY). Any advice on how to restore? I know I can store it to iCloud (NOW). But it wasn't saved in iCloud previously. Thanks!
It most definitely is the browser that is causing most of the problems. I have used Firefox so long, I can't even remember. Maybe since its beginning. But today is a sad day. I gave up on it. I can't accomplish anything and end up spending hours troubleshooting. I see I am not alone. I am so sick of it "not responding." It's simply not worth it to spend so much time trying to make the thing work, so I can actually do something. Installed, removed, reinstalled numerous times, and I can't fix your software on my Win 7 Pro machine. No problems with IE or Chrome. So. as much as I hate Google Update, Chrome has won the test. Sad, sad day for me to lose Firefox, but it just does not work on the Win 7 machine. I don't have the same issues with the XP machine and have exactly all the same add-ons. Keep it up developers and you will have no Win 7 users at all.

Create password access to a site in Dreamweaver CC
Trying to create a password protected site. I have an intro page and want to have a password required to access the main site. I am using hostgator and from what I can see, they only have a username password access. I need just the password access for our members to access the site. I added server behaviors ext to my Dreamweaver CC but the + sign is grayed out. Ideas?
Hi
in addition to Ben's recommendation: The easiest way - in my opinion - to protect the recommended website(s) with a password is to ask your provider for this possibility. I can show you here the menu of my German host (Passwortschutz > Password protection):
Here an example of one of my websites, where I used my providers service. You can see what happens if you don't know the required details:
http://dala-laegret1963.de/AccBlocked/AccBlocked.php. There only these users who know the passwords can enter this website.
As you can see I didn't struggle to write the ".htaccess" file of myself, and here I quote Nancy O's hints:
a secure create sign-up page. When form is submitted, MySQL database is appended with new log-in credentials.
a MySQL database to store unique ID, username, password with a date and timestamp to measure how old each password is.
another secure log-in page to verify valid username, password and date and timestamp. If it's accepted, a session is created and redirects user to confidential areas of the site.
a log-out page to kill the session.
an error page for when username & password are not found in database.
a secure new password page for when date & timestamp are too old.
For all these things I use the provider's (ISP) service. The advantage is, that the two files (.htaccess and .htpasswd) are created simultaneously and systemconform. You will find this offer, I am sure, at your provider's website.
Dreamweaver has so too a very easy server-side authentication behaviors built-in... have you looked at those? (Server Behaviors --> Authenticate Users)

Controlled Access to device password - How do I disable it?
Really hoping someone can help,
I set up the controlled access to device password, however earlier today it rejected the password even though I had entered it correctly. On the last attempt it told me that failure would wipe device of all data! My network provider told me that if I entered it wrong on a final attempt it would wipe and block the phone and the only way to have phone unblocked would be to have it sent away! As a few hours had passed and I was unable to use the phone I took the chance of entering the password again and it worked.
However, when I went to disable the password it would not allow me to!
Is there any way to disable it as I mostly use my phone for business I can not afford to have it blocked and/or wiped!Doesn't sound like it. Your employer has put that in place. You can change the password, but you cannot remove it.

Question
Firefox 6.0.1 update won't recognize the home page which uses a password access which has been saved into 6.0.1. The security shows permissions for the web site but doesn't recognize that I've been accessing the web page every day since I updated to 6.0.1. Web page trying to access is <http://classic.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=zmw:98108.5.99999> This home page worked fine on earlier versions of Firefox and continues with Internet Explorer 9.0.Looks like its been fixed for me, not by 6.0.1 but by - Todd Siechen from http://www.dvdthemepak.com

Todd... I love you xxx
After having a nightmare since first day of version 6.0.0 and still no fix after 6.0.1, even after Apple requested the files... You fixed my problem... Checked for duplicate fonts and found about 5, selected "Resolve Duplicates" and everything great, even with old projects... You should work for Apple!
Check out the 2 posts:

1) The first and biggest culprit we found to be causing problems is with font issues. In order to alleviate this problem, open Font Book and make sure all the Fonts that are turned on have no dots next to them. If they do then select them and select "Resolve Duplicates" from the Edit menu. If you are using a different font manager then use whatever tool is available to make sure no duplicate fonts are loaded. iDVD 6 is very sensitive to this.

I shot at a Live performance last weekend by using the 'capture now' button. Now, my FCP is only playing the first 6 frames - how can I access or recover the full hour I shot?
FCP X? Then you need to use a different forum...This is the FCP 7 and earlier forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x
FCP 7? Did it look like it captured normally? Everything go smoothly? Stop normal? Did an error occur at any point? Can you open the file in QT?
In the future...do not rely on ONLY FCP for this task. Get a reputable recorder that can record to ProRes. AJA KiPro, KiPro Mini, Atmos Ninja, Decklink Recorder...lots of options. -
You don't have permission to access /pls/VIS/oraclemypage.home on this serv
Hi
I have just managed to complete a test installation of 11i (after 4 weeks and 2 sets of disks).
H/W is P3 500, 512 MB RAM 80 GB HDD running W2K advanced server.
Everything went well, and I managed to log in using both sysadmin/sysadmin and services/welcome.
I can log into the database fine using SQL*PLUS or TOAD.
After coming back from lunch, I am now getting the message "You don't have permission to access /pls/VIS/oraclemypage.home on this server" after the login page. I have made no changes and no-one but me has access to the server.
Does anyone have any experience of this error and hopefully a solution?
Thanks
Don1. check your dbc file in FND_TOP/secure.
2. there is a cfg file under iAS/Apache/modplsql/cfg called wdbsvr.app
check the apps password there as well.
