Keychain pop-ups

I just did a clean install of 10.4.1 and now everytime I do something in Safari (and occassionally Mail) I get the message "Safari has been updated. Do you want to allow this new version to access the same keychain as the previous version?" I check "keep the same." I've tried keychain First Aid but it still keeps happening. How to I get rid of these annoying messages?

Here's a document on keychains that might be informative.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301364
Even though you are not getting asked for your "login" keychain, it seems migrating your old keychain is the problem. Depending on how you transfered your files, the old keychain could be listed for a different username, password or both. You can try to synchronize the keychain as mentioned in the above link, or if you don't care about it, just delete the login keychain and start over.

HT3915 how to turn off keychain pop ups

My computer won't accept any passwords I put into these keychain pop ups. So they constantly pop up and wont go away even if you click cancel 6 or 7 times. Can someone help me to turn them off?!

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
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 iCloud 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.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
Step 3
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
Step 4
Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
You can then close the folder.
Delete the login keychain from the keychain list in Keychain Access. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
Run Keychain First Aid again. Quit Keychain Access.

How do i get keychain off my computer!?!?! Ive tried absolutely everything, keychain won't reset itself. Ive done everything anyone has suggested in apple support. Keep getting pop ups, mail won't work any more, i can't do ANYTHING.

Every time i log into my computer, i get bombarded with pop ups asking me for numerous passwords, i enter the CORRECT ones in for my email accounts and they keep coming up, i cant do anything to get this off. Keychains suck i dont know why anyone would have made these.
I go to the keychain preferences in finder and i try to unlock the local items keychain but it wont because i dont know the password, ive tried any password it could possibly be and it wont go through. I also cant reset it becasue it says "invalid aegument" every time i try to do that in First Aid.
Everything anyone has said to do wont help. I cant even get my mail accounts to come online but they still work in my phone. I even downloaded the newest version 10.9 or whatever and it doesnt work. My mail accounts are all screwed up, so is icloud, and messages app i cant even use it. ive restarted my computer a million times so dont suggest that either.
Oh and for those of you who are going to tell me to go to /library/keychain or anything like that, my computer says that the file or folder doestn exist.

Please follow the directions in this support article. If there's no change, see below.

Pop-ups requesting passwords for keychain issues?

So today i downloaded OS X Mavericks. I thought it was pretty cool that you could have iCloud keychains. So, being someone who had never even opened key chain, opened the app to look around. It told me to log into keychain to view the content. Since i had never typed in a password on keychain, i assumed it was my account password. That didn't work:
Then around the same time, pop-ups from mail began asking for my password from all 4 of my accounts. I would type in the password for mail but the pop-ups would keep coming. So i went to the iCloud preferences because thats where i was directed to look at my online email accounts. But for some reason i was signed out of iCloud, so i typed in my information and this popped up:
Another issue with keychain!!!
So now I am not signed into iCloud, or keychain. iCloud isn't bothering me, although i would like to be connected. But keychain, even though i have quit it, keeps giving me these pop-ups!:
So now i can't do anything on my Macbook Pro (2011) because these keep popping up! I don't know my "Local Items" password so i cannot fix it!
Please help, this is ruining my day!

Try rebooting your Mac.
If that does not work, first repair permissions in Disk Utility and then reboot.
That worked for me.. now the password for Local Items is my login passwords, which is not what I want, but better than unknown..

Enable pop ups to connect to wireless network?

My brother has been trying to connect to my work wireless network (protected) and is receing an error that says "To join this network you need to enable popups". He has connected to this wifi network before with no issues using a username and password. He turned off block pop ups in Safari but still cannot connect. Any ideas why he would need to have pop ups enabled to connect to a network? I've never seen this error before and am stumped. Could this be some new proxy? I'm just trying to see if anyone has run across this before.
This is on an iPhone 3G
Thanks,
G

Hello Natalie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.
https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/start/device/apple-osx-tiger
If still no go... See if this helps...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point.
Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

Strange keychain pop up nonsense

What is keychain, and why do I need it? I never activated keychain (why should I) and yet I get continual pop ups requiring a password that I certainly don't have. This is actually VERY annoying. What to do?
OS X v10.9.1
Model identifier iMac 12,1

Were you able to find anything in the related google search result, linked above, that did anything to change the pattern of circular non-logic whereby you get nowhere outside the same path?
A few did appear promising, but then I don't use Mavericks & my antiques look curiously if I bring up the subject of a 'new OS X' since most are at their great last stand. And I can avoid keychain in mine.
Some users did not upgrade to Mavericks, especially if their software in use from other makers did not necessarily find support in the latest OS X version, or there was no clear advantage; and could revert to a clone or bootable copy of their older system, with that version upgrades intact, from a second hard disk drive location. One that would not automatically be seen by the Mavericks installer and also get an upgrade, too.
If you disable iCloud keychain, does that help make the shared access issue go away, or only compound the effect by getting more singular keychain messages as other devices aren't sharing information, then?
I notice some other topic related articles when I search Support (search box) using 'Mavericks keychain issues' for results. Anything new there?
Oh, on a separate note there is this page 'iCloud keychain availability by country' where SMS may not be available there, so it is possible to change or set up the iCloud keychain in the computer and not online (or so I think it says) + It may not help. see article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6020
Hopefully some wizard from cupertino will reply with the insider information, short of revisiting Mt Lion or another earlier city of OS X.
Sorry to not be of much help...
Good luck & happy computing!

Something was hidden in a download and now these double green underlined hyperlinks show up everywhere, and pop ups too whenever I click on ANYTHING. I can't figure out how to find it and get rid of it.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Eu estou tendo problemas com pop-ups, já baixei todos os complementos possiveis mas não adianta, eles continuam aparecendo; como faço para não aparecer mais?

Havia um programa que já veio instalado no computador mas que depois de um tempo meu antivirus acusou que ter vírus. Deletei-o e então começou a aparecer os pop-ups. Baixei vários complementos como AdBlock, Avast online Security etc mas nada deu certo, eles continuavam a aparecer nas redes sociais, como em outros sites. Tive que recorrer ao Modo de Segurança do Firefox e desde então não aparece mais pop-ups. Queria saber se tem algum jeito de conseguir a mesma coisa sem ter o Modo de Segurança ativado.

Tente limpar todo o cache do firefox qualquer dúvida tente esse [[Como limpar o cache do Firefox|Tutorial]] . Se não resolver tente tirar um print e postar aqui o conteúdo do pop-up, dessa forma podemos ver o problema.

Caps lock/scroll lock/num lock/ LEDs not working - instead pop-ups in bottom RH corner of screen

Specific details; p/n: GS066PA#ABG, 4 GBytes DDR2 RAM, OS Windows 7 (6.1) Ultimate Edition 64-bit Service Pack 1 (Build 7601) DirectX 11.0. LED's were working but during one of the windows automatic updates they stopped working. I don't know which update. Now I get little pop-ups "CAPS LOCK: ON" etc (black text on white background). If I rename bttray.exe to bttray1.exe and restart the laptop, that kills the pop-ups in the bottom RH corner of the screen but it does not restore the operation of my blue indicator LED's. Can anyone help please?

Hi @haggis1 ,
I saw your post regarding the problems with the pop-ups and LED lights not working after a Windows Update. Most likely there was a problem with the update when it was installed. This Microsoft Support link will show you how to uninstall an update. Try uninstalling the most recent updates and the restart the notebook and see if the LEDs start working again.
If that fixes the issue then there is another section in that link entitled: I remove an update but it gets automatically installed. That will show you how to hide an update.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.
Click the “Kudos Thumbs Up" on the right to say “Thanks” for helping!
Thank you,
