Keychain First Aid won't repair and will ask me for keychain agent password

Hi everyone:
Background: I changed my Apple Id password after updating to OS X Mavericks. Soon after that, OS X sometimes asks me for keychain password (not always), sometimes at the beginning and when I use Safari, or try to access to Icloud (which I can only access online on safari) through system preferences.
Problem #1:
-  When I use First Aid Keychain and enter my User name and password, two options appear: Verify and Repair.
- If I hit verify, some things appear in black, some other in red and some in blue, the following things appear:
    In red:
         ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (is not a valid keychain file).
   In Blue:
        Keychain password of  ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (100022) not verified
       Adjustments of  ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (100022) were not read (couldn´t been read)
  In Red
        ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (-25295) was not opened (couldn´t been opened)
  Problems have been found. Select repair.
  Verification error.
- Then, if i hit repair It will ask me "for keychain agent password".
And honestly I never (that I remember) created a keychain agent password. Where can i find that?, what kind of password is that? What I know is that it is not my Apple Id password or anything close to it.
Problem #2
- If try try to restore my default keychain by selecting Preferences - General, it will tell me that the "keychain has not been found". And wont restore anything.
I must say that I have read many of the discussions available and many of Apple suggested solutions, and nothing seems to help.
Any help would be deeply apreciated.
Best regards. (Sorry for my english, not a native speaker, my computer is in spanish and did my best to translate what I have seen)

Hi John (it´s me again sorry!)
I did what you suggested using Safe Mode (I actually did it following http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204 for oS X Mavericks).
I followed the same steps that I have done before;
- Before deleting I used First aid Keychain and what I got was the following:
- Then I hit repair and I got the following:
- After that I decided to delete Login Keychain (the empty square), it was gone. I restarted my computer in normal mode. Once I did that what I see now is the following:
- Maybe I missed something, and I still cant see the padlock in login, and no way no decipher whats going on.
PERHAPS THE FOLLOWING IS RELATED:
- If try log into ICloud through System Preferences the following pops up after entering my Apple ID and Password: 
- If I select Reset to Defaults I get the following (even if I select cancel):
- And after that I get the following:
Could that be related? Thank you very much again and sorry for too many images.
All the best!

  • HT1430 I suddenly can.t access you tube via videos via my iPad . Tried via safari and you tube app on iPad but it says no videos and  then ask me for  you tube password . Never had to use a pass word

    I suddenly can,t access you tube videos via my iPad. Tried safari and you tube app on iPad. I get no videos  and then it asks for you tube password. Not had that before.

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • Keychain First Aid  won't run

    Hi,
    I have a user that I am trying to import the EntrustCA into her x509 Anchors keychain. It won't import, never brings up a login screen to authenticate. Once I click to do this, I then cannot open any keychain to list its contents, and have to force quit Keychain Access.
    If I do not click to import anything, Keychain Access lets me view what's inside.
    I have tried to run Keychain First Aid, but it quite and won't fix anything.
    I have tried deleting all keychains at user level, reboot, let it create a new login keychain, but still does not fix the problem and I still cannot import anything into x509 Anchors.
    In order for user to send encrypted emails via Entourage (as there is NO plug in from PKI) we have to use certificates with private key information. This won't work unless the EntrustCA is in x509 Anchors!!
    Any suggestions on how to fix keychain?
    Lisa

    In Mac OS X 10.4.10 I already see several Entrust root certificates. Are your sure you need to add another CA? What you need to be importing is the user's own certificate file rather than the Entrust root certificate. Are you able to do this?
    After the user's certificate is installed then you can then select it in the user's Entourage account.
    Hope this helps!

  • I am having trouble using my time capsule to back up. I tried repairing through "first aid" Disk 4s2 failed and I have been directed to erase. What is in this disk? Should I erase it??

    I am having trouble using my time capsule to back up. I tried repairing through "first aid" Disk 4s2 failed and I have been directed to erase. What is in this disk? Should I erase it??

    Only you know what is on the disk.. if you have been running TM to the TC then it will have your backups.. are they important?? Otherwise it will be what you..or others in the house have copied to it.. is that important?
    If the first aid has failed the disk then it could be a good idea to erase it.
    Does the disk mount in finder so you can see the main directory?

  • Aperture First Aid won't launch

    Had a USB hub fail while my Aperture library was open, which evidently caused some database corruption. Read up on how to use the Aperture 3 First Aid function to repair...but the thing _will not launch_. Every time I try and launch Aperture (whether by launching the app directly or by double clicking the library) while holding down Command-Option, it just gives me the standard "database error" message.
    I've trashed the user/plist file for Aperture, no change. I've reinstalled Aperture from scratch....no change. First aid just will not launch, no matter what I seem to do.
    Help!

    So the drive was connected to your Mac through a hub. The Aperture library is on this drive. The hub failed while Aperture had this library opened. You fixed the hub or reconnected the drive through another USB port. And finally there is no backup.
    Accurate so far?
    Did you try to open the library and get an error message and then try running the library first aid or did you go straight to first aid?
    Is the external disk formatted OS X Extended? Do you have room to make a copy of the library? If you do it would be a good idea to do so before proceeding. It is always possible that while troubleshooting you could make things worst and having a BU of the library, even though it is messed up would be a good thing.
    Some things to try:
    Run +Disk Utility+ *disk repair* on the affected drive. If Disk Utility reports that if fixed something keep running it until it reports that the drive 'appears ok'. Try Aperture now, fixed?
    If no then start Aperture by holding the ⌥ (option) key only. This will bring up Aperture's library chooser. Create a new empty library. Try to merge the corrupted library into the new empty library. Aperture will still need to repair the library but some users have reported success doing it this way when trying to fix the library from the first aid window failed.
    Begin a backup program.

  • HT4009 I am trying to install free apps but am being asked to verify payment account first, why is this happening and will I be charged?

    I am trying to install free apps but am being asked to verify payment account first, why is this happening and will I be charged?

    Are you currently in the country where your iTunes account is based ? You won't be charged for downloading free apps (some free apps do then allow you to make in-app purchases to unlock extra features, though you can turn that off via Settings > General > Restritions > In-App Purchases 'off'), but if you add or change the credit card details on your account then you are likely to receive a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - that should disappear within a few days or so.
    Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    If you only want to download free apps then there are instructions on this page for how to create a new account in your country's store without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • I am going to buy unlocked iphone 5.. i will be going to india nxt months and will stay there for a while... so my question is will i get warrenty in india.. and will there be any problem with using indian sims..?? thnx for the help..

    The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
    Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
    If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
    An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide.  The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.

  • HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

    HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

    Hi,
    Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!

  • My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

    my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

    I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
    It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.
