Keychain/certificates problem

This question pertains to my husband's G4, running OSX 10.4.6-
In a separate user folder ( not admin. acct.) I was attempting to set up,
I wanted to completely clean out Keychain...and deleted (stupidly) the certificates in the X509 Anchors of Keychain (I may have logged into admin. acct. to do so).
Now, I can't login to .Mac, and keep getting a warning about untrusted sites. What is the best way to fix this?
iBook G3 12   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

We called Applecare support.....and after many attempts to resolve.....we resorted to a clean install.

  • Preferences and Keychain certificate problems

    I was having a problems with the directory paths on my computer. So I had some IT guy come in and work on my computer at work. Anyway, whatever he did he wiped out all my keychains and preferences. Now I can't save any preferences. I have made sure that they're unlocked, but not matter what I do I can't save any preferences. Desktop, dock, nothing. Also, the keychain certificates are not messed up. When I launch Safari I get the keychain certificate not found. So, I can't save bookmarks or add anything to my bookmarks bar.
    How do I fix this problem?

    To start with you can run Disk Utility and repair permissions.  This may not take care of them all but at least some major preference settings should be adjusted correctly.

  • OS X Safari and Hotmail Certificate Problem

    Hello Apple discussions,I Am having problems accessing part of a microsoft hotmail account which explains below
    I Have a problem with my hotmail Web account Using OS X 10.6.4 Safari 5.0 when I Try adding another email account to my hotmail account where it says: Add an e-mail account on the left side pane of hotmail. when I Click on Add an e-mail account I Get the error message for a Certificate problem: safari cannot verify the identity of the website ¨col0-sec.mail.live.com¨ I Am using OS X 10.6.4 and Safari 5.0. I Have tried using a earlier version of safari but the same problem occurred so I Tried using Google Chrome (most recent) and Opera Browsers for MAC and with no luck, the exact same problem. so I Tried adding an email account using a windows xp machine, it had no problem adding an email account so the problem seems to be OS X problem. It seems to be something wrong with the certificate for validation on the Microsoft website I Think.I Can send a screen shot of the entire message that popped up for the invalid certificate if needed to fix this problem.

    Thought of something else you might try.
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select "My Certificates" or on the left.
    If you see a Microsoft/Hotmail certificate, double click that. Click the gray disclosure triangle so
    it faces down. Click the pop up menu next to: When using this certificate and set it to: Always Trust.
    Relaunch Safari and try logging into your Hotmail account.

    I tried to sent to email and failed too witht the same error.
    I have also try to repair via firstaid and all are fine.
    Also tried to unlock my keychain but nope still can't
    Any help?

    Try running a permissions fix routine on your hard drive using Disk Utility, and then try resetting your home folder permissions by booting to the Lion recovery HD partition (reboot with Command-R held down) and then opening the Terminal (in the Utilities menu) and running the command "resetpassword," which will launch a small password and permissions reset tool. In this tool, select your account and then click the button to reset home folder permissions and ACLs.
    After this is done, reboot normally and try creating the certificate again.

  • Certificate Problems

    Ok, so I know that this problem has been beaten to death but I have read all the other discussions and websites and tried everything that I have found, and nothing seems to fix the problem. I don't code really, but I wanted to try again, and I wanted to on my MacBook Pro. For what I used to try to do, I did on my iMac, and never had any problems. Now, I want to code on my MBP and I get the "Valid signing identity not found." So far, I have exported the keychain certificates from my iMac to my MBP, and then exported the certificates right out of Xcode Organizer and straight into the Xcode Organized on my MBP. I have deleted the derived data from my projects, and deleted and removed the certificates from my iPhone and reloaded them on. I have no idea what to do anymore. I don't know why its not working, I have done everything that I think I should have done, but for some reason I can't get it to work. I am also having the problem that when I try to run my app on my iPhone, it says that 'Build Failed' and gives "Code sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valied, non-expired certificate/private key pair in your keychains." The following pictures show the errors.
    FYI - I built this app using DAPP.
    Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

  • I opened a file on my desktop that I don't remember putting there.  It turned out to be a keychain certificate from a client of ours.  Does this mean that they were spying on me?  What is the deal with that?  Any ideas?

    I opened a file on my desktop that I don't remember putting there. We use many photos and I thought it was a photo file I was looking for. It turned out to be a keychain certificate from a client of ours.  Does this mean that they were spying on me?  What is the deal with that?  Any ideas?

    Interesting tid bit.  I created an AAC of the original file, deleted the original MP3 from my library and also deleted the Clean matched track from the icloud.
    Result is that it matched with the explicit version of Mrs. Officer this time.
    What I am curious about is which songs this is happening for. I've went thru a few batched of about 500 songs at a time and redownloaded in 256k for many tracks. Sadly we don't have people to bring this to our attention and I have so much music that it's impossible to go thru every song to make sure I am getting the right version.

  • Adobe AIR 3 Performance Issues and Code Signing Certificate Problem

    I recently updated to Adobe AIR 3.0 SDK (and runtime) doing HTML/Javascript development using Dreamweaver CS5.5 in a Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).
    The AIR app I'm developing runs well from within Dreamweaver. But when I create/package the AIR app and install it on my machine:
    1. The app literally CRAWLS running it in my Windows 7 12G RAM machine (especially when I use the mouse to mouse over a 19-by-21 set of hyperlinks on a grid) --- IT IS THAT SLOOOOWWWW...
    2. The app runs fine in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4G RAM, also using the Adobe AIR 3 runtime.
    About the Code Signing Certificate problem:
    When I try to package the AIR app with ADT using AIR's temporary certificate feature, I get the error message "Could not generate timestamp: handshake alert: unrecognized_name".
    I found some discussions on this problem in an Adobe AIR Google Groups forum, but no one has yet offered any resolution to the issue. Someone said Adobe is using the Geotrust timestamping service --- located at https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa --- but going to this page produces a "404 --- Page not found" error.
    The Google Groups Adobe AIR page is here:
    http://groups.google.com/group/air-tight/browse_thread/thread/17cd38d71a385587
    Any ideas about these issues?

  • Certificate problem--safari says it couldn't establish a secure connection.

    Certificate problem. How do I fix a corrupted cert? I think what's going on is that the cert that is installed for this site is bad. But Safari just gives an error and I can't find a way to remove the bad one and add a new one? Can anyone help me?

    I haven't experienced any issues like this.

  • Windows certificate problem - at least for a better description

    I'm not sure where this should be posted.  I believe it's actually a Windows problem, so i'll try here first.
    Okay, I was installing SQL 2012 express server and I ran into a problem during the installation.  It's been too long ago, and too many correction attempts since to remember what the original problem even was.  But, anyways I uninstalled the installation
    and tried again, and again and again.   I was getting these errors:   Well damn, I've uninstalled my latest attempt and the error logs are gone.  Anyways it was failing on a certificate issue and then unable to find a start-up handle for the
    database engine. After this I tried all of the suggested fixes put forth on msdn,  Stack OverFlow and several blogs, nothing worked.  One of the suggestions was to create a new account/profile and try installing with that account. At that point I
    discovered that I couldn't create a functional new profile; every one failed when trying to log in.  That's why I think it is a Windows 8.1 problem and not a SQL installation problem, although it's likely that created the original problem. Anyways, I'm
    stuck.  Any ideas, beyond re-installing (I'll probably wait for the April 8th update and see if that happens to fix the problem before suffering the inconvenience of a complete re-install) win 8.1?  I can recreate the error logs by going through
    the installation again if they could help or I can pull the logs from one of the other blogs.
    Thanks,
    Ray

    After more digging around I found another instance of this problem reported here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/43cb5946-9d82-4973-b8a1-4053aa688ba8/user-profile-service-failed-the-signin-user-profile-cannot-be-loaded-for-any-new-accounts?forum=w8itprogeneral
    ( it won't let me post a link, so we get plain text)
    As suggested in the mentioned post, checking my Event Viewer showed basically two type of Errors:  Event ID 1500 when trying to log in to Windows 8.1 with the newly created profile or creating a new profile; and Event ID 1511 when trying to install
    SQL 2012 Server Express.  Later on in the error logs, errors with certificates are mentioned.  Further digging showed that in each case the errors occurred when an attempt was made to copy files from the Default profile, specifically files in the
    \AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon folder, to a Temp folder during creation of the new profile.  I copied these files to another temp folder and removed them from the offending location. After doing so, SQL 2012 Server Express installed properly and I
    was able to create a new user profile which could log into Windows.  I haven't seen any other problems since the files were removed, VS2013 works fine, but it did before these issues popped-up too. (VS2012 was upgraded several months ago, so maybe the
    files were left from that?).
    Hope this might help others who run into certificate problems when creating profiles, either during installation of programs or when creating a new user profile.

  • There is a problem with this connection's security certificate The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate. Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send

    Hi,
    I have this Windows 2008 R2 on which I installed remoteapp some years ago.
    Now the certificate expired and I get the message
    "There is a problem with this connection's security certificate
    The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate.
    Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the remote computer."
    How should I renew the certificate? I already went to certification store and tried to renew certificate with same key but then it says "the request contains nor certificate template information".
    Please advise.

    Does the computer account have Enroll permission to the certificate template?
    From the Server running your CA, run mmc, click File then Add/Remove Snap-in...
    Add Certificate Templates and click OK.
    Find the certificate template, then right click and select properties.  On my CA its call ed RemoteDesktopComputers but might be called something different depending on what what template your certificate is based on.
    On the security tab, click Oblect types, check Computers then OK. Enter the Computername and click OK.  Then give your computer account Enroll permisssion.

  • Keychain "login" Problems   Can't remember my Keychain password.  Admin Password also does not help. Mac Mini(Late 2012) OS 10.10.2

    Series of Keychain "Login" Problems.
    Hardware: Mac Mini (Late 2012)  2.5 GHz Intel COre i5,  4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    OS X : 10.10.2 upgraded yesterday
    Mail wants to use "login" keychain.   I enter Password but no success.
    CalendarAgent wants to use "login" keychain.   I enter Password but no success.
    Com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc wants to you "login" keychain. Password, not successful.
    At some point in past days I was offered to rename Keychain, so I did.
    In Keychain Access, I deleted "Login"    and selected Delete references.
    Just now I went into ~/Library/Keychains and found Login.Keychain and Login_renamed.Keychain.
    I have renamed Login.keychain -> Login-old.keychain.
    I renamed Login_renamed.keychain-> Login.Keychain.
    In Keychain Access, I added "Login" back.  This should be the renamed keychain.
    Original problems still persist.  No noticeable changes.
    Keychain wants to use the "Login" keychain.   Can't remember my password or it is incorrect.
    Help?
    TITLprods

    I turned off and turned on the computer.  When restarting it said that it could not use the Login and did I want to create a new or use and alternate?  I created new and for the moment things seem to be working under the command of the "New Login"
    That still doesn't really alleviate the problem of the old login.
