Keychain is asking me to login EVERY TIME! When did I install Vista????

VERY ANNOYING! I was one of those poor saps who believed the tutorial video about upgrading to Leopard: "It's as easy as clicking 'Upgrade'." Guess I should have selected to archive and install.
Be that as it may, I am still experiencing keychain problems. Initially, I thought I had resolved my issue by following instructions from previous posts. The upgrade process did not correctly copy my login.keychain to my username.keychain. So, I made a copy of login.keychain, renamed it username.keychain, and the problem seemed to go away.
Now, Leopard is dinging me for my keychain password seemingly every five minutes. When I run Safari for the first time, when I want to join one of my preferred airport networks, etc.
How in the heck do I fix this? I have already run a keychain first aid multiple times, and it says nothing is wrong.
THANKS APPLE!!!!!!

You aren't a poor sap. Is your Keychain set to lock after a specified time period?
The behavior in Leopard seems to be slightly different than Tiger. In Tiger, the behavior is to ask to unlock the Keychain for the application's use. In Leopard, the behavior currently appears to be that an application will ask to use the keychain but it will not unlock. Once the application has been granted permission to use the keychain after an initial startup, I have noticed it does not ask again until "some period of time" or the application has been closed and opened again. I'm not quite sure the behavior here. If you open Keychain Access and edit the settings for your login keychain, you will be able to see the locking behavior.
Personally, I like the seemingly new Leopard behavior vs. the "old" Tiger behavior. Leopard's way is actually more secure. You are asked once to "use" the keychain, but it is not unlocked for other applications to just start using...they must ask as well. I don't find it annoying at all that the OS is ensuring the requesting application has been granted the right to read your private keychain. If there is an absolute time out where the application must ask again or I quit the application and then am asked again, great, I love it. It is not Vista like. It is being very secure and not opening your system to all applications when a single application requests a privileged action.
If anyone else has noticed different behavior, I'd love to hear it. I leave my keychains locked all the time so I know explicitly when a request is being made to read it.

Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application

Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application on a same machine.
How to solve this problem?
Windows 7 Professional.

Or it could be patially related to typical pains when a company makes an enormous transition like this. Ironcially, just as i said in my post, my issue resolved the next day.
Listen, I undertstand the concern and certainly the frustration. I spend nothing short of 14 hours per day with Adobe apps open. primarily After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator. I know the hassle and I know the frustration of constantly having to sign back in, which i did for a bit too. But it's just a little melodramatic when people make idle threats they aren't going to follow through with anyway, about using a product that does what this does, and is such an enormous productivity tool that people say silly things. that's what I'm referring to. If you're going to choose an entire platform different than Adobe becuase theyr'e having issues on a brand new method of service and delivery you're an idiot anyway. Wouldn't you agree that the statements of ' i don't have time to test something' are a litle ridiculous? name any product, or purchase in any part of your life that has never failed at anything? and then saying thigns like it's suddenly an unstable environment, when the problem they're complaining about (and the complaint of course it legitimate) has absolutely nothing to do with the stability of the product?
it's the overblown, silly statements that make people look foolish, do nothing to help the issue, and offer nothing that crack me up. When I read someone saying things like that i pretty much ignore anything else they say because reason isn't something they are using at that point anyway.
See what you said? that has nothing to do with anyone I'm talking about. You made a valid point, didn't make silly comments like what I'm referring to. you said something I don't agree with, but you dind't go overboard and get all dramatic about it. I don't agree that it's an ongoing degredation of their rep. there is nobody even remotely close a valid competitor out there for this in the first place (depending on what software yoiu're referring to, but since we're in the CC forum i assume that's what you mean). The fact is, their reputation is so strong, no other software company can even compete. But even so I still see progress and innovation. Intel had a cushion with no competitor at one point, then AMD came in, and if you notice, within a couple years of AMD getting very popular, Intel started releasing their upgraded technology in less than a third of the time. But I don't think I see that laziness from Adobe. I don't honestly know that the reason is they moved to a subscription based environment but I know that almost all big software companies are at leasdt considering it. heck Microsoft was talking about changing their licensing and doing it the same way. And it's not for greed I'd guess, it's to comabt theft. At least that's my guess, i have no idea, but i don't believethat it's done and they would change their entire business model for a reason lefss important.
While we're on that topic I'd like to point out i bet this new process makes an enormous dent in the piracy, at least short term, so for me I applaud it. because when so many people steal the software, it means people like me, and i assume you, pay much higher prices for our legit licenses. So anything that can be done to thwart that has my full approval. But it also just happens to have some nice benefits, in that the pricing is pretty ridiculously low IMO for the entire suite of apps for 50 bucks per month. let' be honest, anyone using them for business which is primarily what this softwre is geared to, understands that while it might seem high, it's tiny compared to the montly cost of doing business, to keep an up to date, suite full of apps that would cost thousands were it not for the subscription. I'll admit, I bought the full suite on the montly just because it made sense. And it actually paid off. Recently I had a client that desperately needed ihs forms migrated to interactive. they were word docs, excel and plain pdfs, but because I happen to have a license for Acrobat, i was able to import those into pdf files and convert them to interactive forms. Then recommend he use the online service to manage them, and frankly it paid for 6 months of licensing for 10 hours work. were it not for the subscription based licensing i'd not have even been able to offer the service because I wouldn't have paid for acrobat.
Complaining about a piece of software you buy that doesn't work in an area, regardless of where it is, makes perfect sense. But the statements I'm referring to equate to someone buying a house, finding out the key doesn't work, or the doorknob is broke, throwing their hands up and saying 'i'm finding anohter house'. it's silly, and everyone knows there's no merit to it. But i get frustrated seeing it over and over, frewquently by people that hven't even paid for the software. Sometimes I post thing I shouldn't but hey, don't we all?
I like to browse these forums becuse I'd say i've learned as much of my knowledge by reading tricks, tips and resolutions posted in forums as I did through my classes and education. That's possibly an overstatement but not by much. I do get just as frustrated at the people constantly trying to belitte the company as they do with their issues.

How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
This is really driving me nuts.....
Thanks

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
2. Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.” You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
I hope this helps.

Why does my keychain keep asking for my password every time I access the same web site?

The ClamXav scan found 4 virus/trojan problems and quarantined them. Before I did thid, my keychain keeps popping up asking me if I want to save my password everytime I visit the same web site(s). Is there an issue with this? And how to I fix it?

What were the infection names associated with those four files and where we're they found. That information is in your Scan Log if you didn't record them yourself. Search for the word "FOUND" in upper case.
The keychain activity sounds normal as long as your browser preferences are set to save that information for AutoFill the next time you visit the site.

Working on Win 8.1, Downloaded PSE 13, installed, and it asks me for login every time I start the software. Any way around this? I want to use PSE on a machine that will be permanently offline.

Any way around this? I want to use PSE 13 on a workstation that will be permanently offline. I spent hours with Adobe support and they suggested deleting a file called
opm.db in the following location
[System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
and then rename the oobe folder to new oobe folder
But then our chat session automatically terminated and that's as far as I got.
Will this work?
Will I still have full functionality?
Can someone help? Thanks!

Yosemite iTunes keeps asking me to Login several times a day

Hello All,
ever since upgrading to Yosemite last year on my Mac-Mini.
iTunes asks me to Login every time I Boot-Up, and then repeatedly several times throughout the day!
And these Logins always have to be done twice each time. (The Pop-Up window takes my password, then Pops-Up again empty so I have to write it again!).
This is really starting to get on my nerves.
Is there anyway I can Login to iTunes & stay logged in, like all my other apps? (i.e. iCloud etc.).
Thank you in advance for any suggestions on remedying this annoying situation!
Much appreciated!!!

Hi all,
this is continuing to happen, but a little bit of an update. I tried a couple of fixes mentioned in the thread that discussed having the iTunes Store app crash.
1) Checking the cookies settings in Safari - mine was set to the recommended setting
2) Launching iTunes, then tapping the "Store" button
My issue seems to be in actuallu connecting to my iTunes account, which seems a common factor in some of the posts here.
I have verified that I am logged into Game Center, that I am logged into iCloud and that I am logged into the Store via the settings app. However, it often asks me to log in again. Sometimes twice in a row. I have seen error messages "Can't Connect, try again?" and seen it accept the entry and disapear.
Any suggestions will be DEEPLY appreaciated. Thank you!

Apple ID password login every time I used an application

Hello,
I'm getting an Apple ID Password Login every time I used an application, phone (Verizon, iPhone 4), or any other programs. I login correctly and it still ask me to login again. I don't think my phone needs to get any updates, becasue I update my phone and applications when I get home at night.
Anyone having this problem? This is annoying!
Thanks

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

Plug your phone into your computer running iTunes. Click on the phone in the left pane of iTunes. Click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
If you have a 3G, the highest you can go is 4.2.1.

Photoshop Creative Cloud License requires login every time

Every time I start Photoshop CS6, I am required to login with my adobe ID. Is this necessary? having to login every time I use the software is very annoying. This also happens with After Effects.
the FAQ says that I should only have to login once per month, but this happens everytime the software starts.
I'm using windows 7.

Scott,
Is your original issue resolved now? Regarding this issue with "C:\Windows\system32\wbem\fastprox.dll", this appears to be a Windows system file. It may have been corrupted. To repair it:
1. Please insert the original Windows installation disk
2. Launch a Cmmand Prompt window with Administrative privileges
3. Issue the following command: sfc /ScanNow
This is a built-in command in Windows that scans the entire Windows folder and attempts to repair system files that may be corrupt. This may take as much as 25 to 30 minutes to complete.
