Keychain issues

On my Macbook pro the Login Keychain is missing and I have been unable to fix this issue.
So far I have tried: Keychain First Aid, creating a new profile, manually try to create a new Login Keychain, deleting the keychain plist file but nothing has worked. I keep getting an error that the Keychain cannot be created or fixed. I even took the laptop to the Apple store but they did have any ideas. Can someone please help me?
Thanks

Did the issue occur with the new account's keychain? If not, then you need to isolate the conflict or corruption. You can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air....I had keychain issues that I bumbled my way through - deleted and created a new Keychain....now a box appears pretty regularly, wanting my Keychain login....i enter it and it's accepted and the box disappears.

Help..!! I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air. I had keychain issues with passwords etc and bumbled my way out of it by deleting the current keychain and creating a new one with a new log-in (yes, I wrote it down this time!) But now these little boxes appear wanting my log-in ie. calendar, Safari, Outlook) and its annoying....entering the login gets rid of the box but what a pain and I know it's not right.....I know I need to enter somekind of automatic logins to these apps but how do I do that....and go easy on me, I'm not computer savvy.

Did you install the latest driver set for the device? there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

All my browsers quit upon launch; keychain issue?

Strange problem, possibly a corrupted keychain issue; any browser I open in my main user; quits and goes poof. But I can open a browser in another user. I rebuilt my directory; repaired my disk; repaired perms...same prob. In one user it says login keychain missing but I can open browsers, but my login keychain exists where I can't open browsers... OK, it's very fricked up. Do I need to do a complete archive and install? Any other options? Thanks
ps Just discovered, I can open a page in main user; from a saved html icon; but not when I enter addresses in the url input field. Weird. Then it goes poof. Maybe its a problem with the url input field? A workaround seems to close it and use command L in firefox.
Already tried resetting my ACL from startup disk.

thanks; so in effect; are you saying that theoretically; the conflict ultimately is in one of the .plist files? If so, I could do some educated guesswork and remove suspected ones, one by one...?

how can i fix keychain issue, it's popping up again and again

Hi,
Have you looked through these http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813 ?
9:51 pm Sunday; November 24, 2013

Keychain Issue for the password for my mac account.

Keychain Issue. Keeps asking for the password for my mac account. When i type it, i keep getting "rejected the password. But it is the correct one. Verified in keychain access. "The .Mac server 'mail.mac.com' rejected the password for user XXXXXXXX. Please reenter your password, or cancel."
Thanks in advance
don

But may I ask why you're using separate servers for in & out?
I don't know the answer to that. For many years, it's always been set up like that. I have never changed anything.
Should i delete the .mac mail account & set it up again? If so, What servers should i use for incoming & outgoing?
Keep in mind i'm having the same issue on my desktop & laptop, both running tiger 10.4.11, as far as they will upgrade.
I do have a laptop running Lion, but that shows an icloud account, not a .mac account like the older computers. It also has a bellsouth account with the password that is correct and a gmail account which is working fine.

How do I sign back in to iCloud on my Mac after signing out in order to fix a keychain issue?

I signed out of iCloud, following directions on how to fix a keychain issue with all my devices. I was to sign them all out then sign back in on the one with the most info, which is my Mac. I opened Preferences, then iCloud, but the button with "Sign Out" which I assumed would be a toggle does not produce an option for signing back in! Help!

So the iCloud button in System Preferences still says "Sign Out"?
Yes, it is a toggle. If it says "Sign Out", then you are signed in! Sign out, then sign back in.

Keychain issue (I believe)

Hi all,
Last week my computer started acting up and rendered two of my most used apps unusable. Currently, iMessage does not work on my computer. Messages sent from my phone do not sync, and when I try and send a message from the app, it says that whoever I'm trying to send to is not registered with iMessage, even though they are. Also, my mail app cannot receive or send message and constantly prompts me for the password, which it always rejects. Keep in mind, both messages and mail are working perfectly fine on my phone. I think it's a Keychain issue because while i'm in Safari, i'm occasionally prompted to enter my admin password to unlock vague, non-descript keychains.
Any ideas on a remedy?
Thanks so much!

Update: I was able to fix my issue with mail by repairing the keychain and restarting the app, but I'm still having issues with iMessage.

ISync & Keychain issues at startup

Hi
I'm getting four or five popup Keychain messages when I boot my Macbook. One of them said this:
dmnotifyd wants to use keychain "login".
I'm pretty good at solving keychain issues -- have run Keychain First Aid, etc. (it reported nothing). Have repaired permissions, rebooted, etc.
Also, suddenly I cannot access the "Sync" portion of the .Mac preference pane. Beachball. Fun fun fun.
Any help appreciated. I'm close to moving to Google Calendar.... real close.

My GUESS is that either eDirectory/ndsd/LDAP isn't up and running at the point that nss/nam wants to load since both items depend on them.
You can check two log files:
/var/log/messages (look at the timestamps for when the server boots up and you'll be able to see the lines for where eDirectory loads and then NSS and namcd)
and
/var/log/boot.msg
Since it sounds like you can manually load/start them, it sounds like a timing problem to me. Is that correct, that you can manually start NSS and NAMCD?

Wi-Fi not connecting due to keychain issues

Here is an odd issue that has crept up a month or so after upgrading to Mavericks. When I put my MacBookPro8,1 to sleep or reboot the Wi-Fi will not connect automatically. It appears to try but then fails miserably. However, I go to the Wi-Fi menu item and can manually select my network and it will connect. As it is connecting I am displayed with a dialog titled, "Keychain Not Found" with text of "Keychain 'System' cannot be found to store 'HCC.'" HCC is the name of the secured network I am connecting to. The SSID is hidden, but obviously it is not an issue with Mavericks properly identifyng it. This is my office router, but the same issue happens at home with my secured router with the SSID broadcasting.
As I am looking at the dialog and deciding what to do, the Wi-Fi menu item indicates a connection and internet traffic starts to flow. I then click "Cancel" in the dialog and am presented with another dialog indiciating the network could not be joined with options to "Cancel" or "Run Diagnostics." On other occassions I have chosen "Reset to Defaults" in the "Keychain Not Found" dialog, but the secondary window asking for my password acts oddly. It remains shaded as if front most window, no matter what window I activate. Even if no other apps are running and the window appears to be frontmost, I cannot type a password or press return to trigger the "OK" button.
I got the problem to go away for a fe days when I disabled iCloud Keychain, reset my keychain from Keychain Access, and rebooted. However, a few days after turning iCloud Keychain back on the problem persists.
I am pasting in some console messages broken down into the steps I took when waking from sleep and selecting the network from the menu bar. I redacted my mac address and certificate identifiers.

Keychain issues - beyond already answered

So I know there are a ton of topics on this.
Out of the blue, I started getting the keychain not found messages. At some point in my troubleshooting, the keychain was deleted.
I've read about the deleting the unique code in terminal, that won't work because the file is deleted.
Apple posts the tip to delete the keychain and recreate that, but I can't do that without the password for the remaining keychains.
I currently have 3 keychains listed:
-Local items
-System
-System Roots
When I start the Mac, or open any Apple program: Safarai, itunes, iphoto, etc. I get the keychain cannot be found error. If I dismiss them they just keep coming back up.
None of the solutions posted have helped me.
I have no idea how to use Terminal, so maybe that can be an issue, but I pretty much copy and pasted the items in the other answers and that hasn't helped because the keychain that went "bad" was deleted.
I cannot delete, run first aid, or rename any item because I do not have a password.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

It sounds like your problem, at least in part, is that you do not have the password for your user account. If that's the case: How to Reset OS X User Account Passwords – Computer Skills – Tuts+

Keychain issue with Safari

I am getting the following message in Safari every few minutes:
"A keychain cannot be found to store "Safari".
I have Office 2008 installed, I know there are some issues there.
I have tried the Keychain Health Check and also the option to reset the Keychain and nothing seems to make this message stop appearing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Josh, Try moving the 'com.apple.keychainaccess.plist' file to your desktop (don't trash it).
Restart and see if that helps.

Good luck,

ITunes/Keychain issue

ok, I can't get into iTunes and all my purchased music will not play. This is the only computer that I have ever used iTunes and my iPod on, and after wiping the hard drive, I have not been able to get back into it. iTunes is the ONLY application or issue that I am having. iTunes cannot help me, I've tried. I don't even see anything in my keychain related to iTunes. When I try to either sign in or authorize this computer it says "the requested keychain was invalid" it tells me to try the keychain repair and then try again. When I open keychain access and do the repiar it doesn't find anything wrong. I have no idea what to do... Someone helllllp please!
Thank you!

Hi, michelle. Try reposting your question in an appropriate iTunes forum. Your problem is clearly software-based, not specific to the Powerbook you're using.

Keychain Issue

Hi all
My wife has had an issue with Keychain since she upgraded to Lion (I didn't have the issue and we both upgraded on the same day)
When she sends emails now, people (mostly PCs) receive an error message that she can't be verified.
I got the same error message when she sent me an email, and I clicked on the her name and "verified her" and now all her emails I read fine, but she can't ask all her email recepients to "verify her"
We believe the issue has to do with Keychain, but can't figure our what it is. We have gone into Utilities/Keychain, and there was one certificate which she uses to access a corporate bank account, and it had a red x next to it. We double clicked on it and fixed it, but her email problem persists.
Thanks

ICloud keychain issues

Hi,
I am having issues with my icloud keychain not being up to date on my imac. It is synced fine across my macbook pro, ipad, mac mini and iphone. However my imac is missing lots of entries. If I make a change on any of my other devices it syncs across. If I make a change on my imac it syncs across to my other devices. But all my entries in keychain from last year just do not appear on my imac.
I have tried turning keychain on, off, deleting the files, signing out of my apple id and back in but no luck.
Wondering if anyone had any ideas at all?
Thanks,

Very good background info. You say "problem is that the keychains won't sync across devices" & "issues" (?same thing?) - please describe, in detail, each an every one and the steps taken to get your 'experience' - add screenshots if pertinent (*NO personal identifying info*)
You seem to have identified the upgrade to Yosemite on two Macs as the 'event(s)' that immediately preceded the behavior(s). Was it 'sudden'? Which event immediately preceded that?
It may be tedious, but we also need to know exactly what you have tried when you say "...all the troubleshooting on the support page including..." - every device and in what order. List links to the "support pages" to make it easier for all to follow.
When you say "... calls to engineering ..." do you mean Apple Support or some other level - be specific about your support communication timeline and personnel - and their specific efforts as far as you can tell us.
The two things that stand out right now are your several Apple domains for AppleIDs with the introduction of Yosemite as a trigger point. You list several, so does this mean you have these several active AppleIDs that you are trying to manage across 4 devices?
In all honesty, if Apple Insiders are unable to resolve your issues, the best you may hope for from us is a way to workaround them.
One crazy idea that pops into my head is for Apple to treat your old AppleIDs as deceased person(s) and make them help you to transfer ownership to the HEIR of the Estate as would a Probate Court - crazy, I know. My reasoning is that it is a common Mac troubleshooting tactic to create a New User - much more difficult when syncing (sharing?) is involved.
It has been my experience that, if you have discovered a flaw of some kind in OS(es) and/or iCloud - and it is specific to your situation - we may not see any improvement (if at all) until Version Update(s) are issued - always without much fanfare. For example, this is the current Release Notes document for iOS 8.1.2

Not answered Keychain issue

I just updated to SL. Everything seems to be working fine except couple of issues with keychain and passwords.
I have read a lot of related issues here and have applied the solutions, but I have not been lucky. For every single application I open I am asked to enter a password (PlugSuit Agent.app, login keychain). I have reset my keychain, admin access, deleted ByHost preferences, repaired keychain and problem persists!
The other issue is I have a maintenance widget that won't take my old or new password.
I ran cocktail to repair permissions and nothing!
any one knows what is that I'm missing?

HI,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.keychainaccess.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
As for the widget, go to ~/Library/Widgets and move the culprit widget to the Trash.
If that widget is that important to you, redownload it but make sure it's 10.6 compatible.
