Keychain doesn't recognize AppleMobileSync!?

Today I got a keychain access request for Gmail IMAP account credentials:
"The authenticity of AppleMobileSync cannot be verified"
Seriously? The keychain doesn't recognize the authenticity of one of Apple's own applications?
The message appeared once before and I allowed it before the inconsistency hit me, now it's back. Should I be worried, e.g. my system's been compromised somehow and AppleMobileSync replaced with a hacked version?
OSX 10.6.4
iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.0.1
iTunes 9.2

I just encountered a similar issue while syncing my iPhone 3G, except the message was along the lines of "AppleMobileSync wants to use confidential information from your keychain." This never happened before, and I have not been able to make it happen again. A response to an archived post from last January attributed it to MobileMe trying to access passwords stored on keychain; however, I don't have a MobileMe account. Any clarifying information would be appreciated.

  • Keychain doesn't recognize login page.

    When using keychain i let it create a password on account setup page, but when I try to login to same site it doesn't recognize that site because it's a different page (the login page, not create account page)
    I had a feeling this would happen so I tried to right click and copy the suggested password and wasn't able to. Now the password is unknown and I can't access my account.

  • My mac doesn't recognize my password when I log off

    When I start my computer it recognize my password fine but when I log off or it goes to sleep it doesn't recognize my password anymore and it starts asking for keychains and stuff so I have to shut it down in order to login again, any help?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • I am trying to send a picture from iphoto thru sharing with an email but it has an old email address...I changed it but now it says it doesn't recognize the password

    tryin to send a picture thru sharing email from iphoto...it shows an old email i changed it to my current email and when I go to send it says it doesn't recognize the name and password....

    go into keychain and delete the old email address from your keychain (for iphoto). you may want to back up the information if you still want keychain to have a copy of it. so note the password and email or sign in via the web.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize either of my iPods

    I downloaded the latest update recently and since then iTunes doesn't recognize either of my two iPod touches (4th gen), even though the computer does. My iPad (1st gen) is still recognized normally. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it several times, and that didn't work. The iPods are recognized by iTunes on other computers. The computer in question runs windows 8.1, if that makes a difference. From the look of these forums it looks like I'm not the only one who has this problem. Please help.

  • Tecra M4 - DVD drive doesn't recognize any disk under Vista

    Hi,
    after the installation of Vista my dvd drive doesn't recognize any disks !
    No upgrade from XP! It was a clean Vista installation.
    I found several links about the registry entries upper and lower filter this entries doesn't exist in my registry under the class CDROM.
    I tested the drive under XP it works fine and recognizes everything.
    Drivers are correctly installed no problems in the device manager is prompted.
    So i have no idea how to get it working, seems to be a Vista problem
    Could any one help me ? I'm really frustrated about this
    Thanks for your help

    Maybe this helps:
    - Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
    - Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    - Then reboot the notebook
    But what happens exactly? What disks are not recognized?

  • This Question is at least 2.5 years old.  But still an issue.  I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7.  Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

    iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
    If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

    HELP HELP

    To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
    It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
    The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
    Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
    As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
    Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

  • When I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it as a device.  I have deleted and re-downloaded iTunes twice which seems to fix the problem temporarily but then the next time, the device is not recognized.

    What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
    You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac

  • I just updated iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and it doesn't recognize my iPod.

    I've just recently updated iTunes to the latest version but it no longer recognizes any of the iPods in my house.  It shows up in Windows but for some reason when I open up iTunes, iTunes just doesn't recognize that it's plugged in.  I've never had this happen with any past updates, can anyone assist me please?
    Thanks in advance.
