Keychain is no longer able to update itself when I upgrade an application

Recently, I have been experiencing a problem with Keychain Access. Whenever I upgrade an application that stores a password in my Keychain, I get the dialog box asking me if I want to update my keychain to correspond to the new version of the application. However, consistently, if I say yes, I get the spinning wait cursor and my computer starts to lag something awful. After a few minutes of spinning, the dialog box does disappear, but my keychain is not updated. Also, my computer then runs at an abysmally slow rate until I restart it.
The first couple of times I encountered this problem was only with the application Adium, and I thought the bug might be specific to that application, so I reported the bug to the Adium folks. (Other people had reported it as well, and no one seemed to have a solution.) However, I recently installed an iTunes upgrade, and I just experienced the exact same problem in iTunes, which leads me to believe that the problem is with OS X and/or Keychain Access and not with either Adium or iTunes.
If I manually delete my passwords from my Keychain, the upgraded applications have no problem whatsoever adding "new" passwords to my Keychain; the problem only arises when attempting to update my Keychain passwords to work with the new version of whatever software I recently upgraded.
For what it's worth, Keychain Access's "Keychain First Aid" finds no problems with my Keychain.
Help?

Well, barring a Hardware problem, then let me give you my whole spiel!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If it appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

restore or reset your ipod. there is a problem with ipods atm so the best you can do is wait if neither restoring or reseting works.

HT4623 why is the original iPad no longer able to update

I have the original ipad & it says it is no longer eligible to update. It is has plenty of memory so that isn't the problem

The minimum requirements (processor, ram, etc) don't meet the requirements for the current version of iOS. Apple determined that the original iPad was not robust enough to run iOS 6 without degrading the user experience being degraded beyond their level of an acceptable costumer experience.
More or less if you want the newer versions/features it is time to upgrade. I can say that most likely every 2-3 years is the upgrade cycle for iPads.

I have older iMac. No longer getting security updates. Can't upgrade to Maverick. Do I need anti-virus software?

Hi. I am not very computer literate so bear with me. I have an old iMac:
iMac 8, 1
10.6.8, think I installed Snow Leopard
2.4 gz, Intel Cored 2 Duo
1GB, 800 mhz ddr 2 sdram
I no longer get security updates from Apple. Can't update to Maverick because I don't have enough memory. Bought my Mac in part because of no need for antivirus software but have been told I need it now. Is this true? Do I just pick something to download or install? Is there something appropriate at the Apple Store?

If you have an iMac model 8.1, you can upgrade as far as Mavericks if you upgrade your RAM. I have the same model, with RAM upgraded to 6 GB and Mavericks does fine.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

I kept a Snow Leopard partition for older games and so forth, but mainly use Mavericks.

No longer able to update song lyrics

This issue is becomming extremely frustrating.
I can add lyrics to songs. However, I cannot change them after the first time. When I go to edit them, they're fixed on iTunes, but the corrected lyrics will not show up on my iTouch.
Deleting the song does not make a difference. The incorrect lyrics show up as soon as I put the song back on iTunes.
Seeing as I'm horribly OCD, seeing typos on my lyrics is very annoying. I thought the issue might be fixed with the recent iOS update, but it was not.
Has anybody else had this problem or been able to fix it?

I'm no longer able to update my Typepad blog in Firefox; nor can I view 'slideshow' in flickr. Something is wrong. I updated to 6 beta but that didn't fix it. What's wrong?

I can no longer update my blog in Firefox or view embeds that contain a flickr 'slide show'. I've double-checked on another computer with a different OS, same problem. These all work fine in other browsers. I updated Firefox just now but it didn't help. Has this bug been reported? Is there a fix? Thanks!

DefaultCellEditor in JTable can not update itself when the value changes

Hi,
I have a JTable which has 4 columns. The 3rd column has a comboBox. whenever I select an item from the first row, the cell at (currentrow, 4thcolumn) will be updated according to the item selected.
Now the problem is, after selecting the item in any cell with 3rd column, the row is updated correctly, but then all comboBox in column 3 are gone! I cannot figure out what causes this. Please help! Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
Jing

Thanks! Could you give more details on how to use the second approach?
I have a table with two columns, one called ID and the other called Value. I'm using JComboBox for the Value column. Whenever I select an item from the comboBox, I want the value in the cell under the ID column to change value to the value selected in the comboBox.
The problem I'm having now is although I can change the value in the comboBox and which triggers the event to change the value under the ID column, when I click the comboBox of another row, the cell under ID of the previous row changed also, before the value under ID of the current selected row.
I think the problem is there is no distinct comboBox for each row of the table. Seems like when one box change and trigger an event, that event performed in every other rows in the table.
Following is the code:
public class Test extends JPanel{
     DefaultTableModel tm;
     JTable table;
     JScrollPane nscrollPane;
     public int total=4;
     public Vector datavec, thvec;
     public Test(Vector datavec, Vector thvec){
          this.datavec=datavec;
          this.thvec=thvec;
     tm = new DefaultTableModel(datavec,thvec);
          table = new JTable(tm);
          table.addMouseListener(new PopupListener(table));
// table.addMouseListener(new PopupListener(table));
//tm.setTableHeader(table.getTableHeader()); //ADDED THIS
int height = table.getRowHeight()*table.getRowCount();
table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(500, height));
//Create the scroll pane and add the table to it.
nscrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
setUpNNColumn(table, table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1));
//Add the scroll pane to this panel.
add(nscrollPane);
public void updateLabel(Integer size)
     int r=table.getSelectedRow();
     if(r!=-1)
     ((Vector)datavec.elementAt(r)).setElementAt(size, 0);
     repaint();
public void setUpNNColumn(JTable table, TableColumn nnColumn) {
          //Set up the editor for the sport cells
          JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox();
          comboBox.addActionListener(new ComboBoxListener());
          int num=total/2;
          for(int i=0; i<2; i++){
               comboBox.addItem(new Integer(num*(i+1)));
          comboBox.setSelectedIndex(1);
          nnColumn.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(comboBox));
private class ComboBoxListener implements ActionListener{
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)e.getSource();
Integer size = (Integer)cb.getSelectedItem();
     updateLabel(size);
private static void createAndShowGUI(Vector a, Vector b) {
\ JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
//Create and set up the window.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Nearest Neighbor Fact Table");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//Create and set up the content pane.
Test newContentPane = new Test(a, b);
newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque
frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
//Display the window.
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
     int patidx, hitnum=2;
     Vector a=new Vector();
     Vector a1=new Vector();
     Vector a2=new Vector();
     a1.add(new Integer(1));
     a1.add(new Integer(4));
     a.add(a1);
     a2.add(new Integer(2));
     a2.add(new Integer(4));
     a.add(a2);
     Vector b=new Vector();
     b.add("ID");
     b.add("Value");
     //StatTableGUI.createAndShowGUI(gd);
     Test.createAndShowGUI(a,b);
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Will I be able to use iWork when I upgrade to os x lion?

I am considering upgrading my OS from Snow Leopard to Lion but want to know if I'll be able to still use my iWork (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) software/app or will I have to purchase a new version to work on Lion? Thanks for any feedback!

Just to clarify, if it is the Intel or Universal version of iWork it should work (i.e. iWork '06 or later). If it is an old version that you obtained with a PowerPC Mac (iWork '05) then you will need to upgrade.

My ipod cant update to the new ios because of age does this mean i am no longer able to download apps like snapchat?

My ipod touch 4G is updated to iOS 6.1.2 and is no longer able to update any further, I want to download apps that I have on my iPhone like facebook,snapchat and instagram but these all require ios 7+ is there any way I can install an older version to my iPod?

Many, but not all, apps offer older versions. See: App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps.

How can I update my Mac OS X v 10.4 Tiger as because it is out of date I am not able to update Safari or Mozilla and am concerned about security

How can I update my Mac OS X v 10.4 Tiger as apple have no more updates and yet I am no longer able to update my Safari or Mozilla applications please advise me.

Check your machine's actual specifications here.
It looks like you can support up to 3 MByte in a 17" iMac and up to 4 Mbyte in a 20" iMac, if your cache size coordinates with the specs on the linked page.
OWC says you should be able to put 4 Gbyte into your machine here. Wherever you get the memory, it would be a good addition. This is the Apple Store listing for your machine, as near as I can figure it.

HT4550 Lately I find that there is a change in my Safari program. I am no longer able to minimize Safari, instead I only have the choice of quitting the program. What do I need to do to bring back the minimize feature?

Lately I find that there is a change in my Safari program. I am no longer able to select "minimize" when I want to save the present page for a later time. Instead, I can only quit the program to get out of it. Please tell me what I need to do to get the minimize feature back. Thank you.

Hi...
"minimize" when I want to save the present page for a later time
Minimize reduces the size of the window. It doesn't save the page.
Click the Reading List icon just to the left of the Bookmarks icon left side of the Safari toolbar then drag the url from the Safari Address Bar to the Reading List.
You can access saved pages from there.

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

After updating to 10.7.3 I am no longer able to connect to the internet.

Updated to 10.7.3 this morning on my Macbook Air (Oct. 2010 model). After restarting, I am no longer able to connect to the internet. I can connect to the router, and pull a valid IP address (sometimes - other times I get an automatic private IP), but I am unable to get to any websites, check email, etc. I am able to ping websites AND visit websites using their IP addresses, but not using their DNS names.
I called Applecare this morning, and the tech walked me through some troubleshooting steps, including:
Rebooting into Repair partition to check connectivity there (same issues, no change)
Deleting and recreating various config files (Networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist and com.apple.airport.preferences.plist) (no change)
I've also tried reinstalling the update (both delta and combo), repairing disk permissions and rebooting into safe mode, nether of which has solved the issue.
Also on the network are (Mini, not updated to 10.7.3), a PC, my iPhone and an Apple TV, all of which aren't experiencing any issues. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Here is something to try. Boot into the Recovery HD by holding
down Command+R when booting. Select the get help online option.
It initially opens Safari with a local web page, but you can use
the bookmarks on the bookmark bar or even enter a website.
Many extensions may not be available but it could tell you if
it is your Lion install that is a problem or perhaps a hardware
problem.
If you can browse around in this mode, then it could eliminate
any possible hardware issues. If you still have problems, then
the issue could possibly be hardware/driver related.
Give it a shot and see what happens.

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

I just updated my OS to Lion, I am no longer able to open all my "Word" documents, is there a way I can do this or change them all to Pages?

I just updated my OS to Lion, I am no longer able to open all my "Word" documents, as the new system does not support this, can I get around this somehow?, or some way to change the documents all to "Pages"? Or, should I reinstall the Leopard OS, change all the word documents to Pages and then reinstall Lion?
Thanks

You can open Word files in Pages by default without any problem. Select one of the Word files by clicking once on it in Finder. Press cmd-i to Get Info on the file. In the bottom half of the window that opens, is Open with:. Below that click on the drop down box and select Pages.app. Then click on Change All... and confirm the "Are you sure... " warning. Now, all Word files will open in Pages.
