Keychain requests keep popping up

I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X Mavericks 10.9. After installing Mavericks I was having trouble with keychain. After taking my computor to a Mac Service Center he Bypassed my old keychain we installed a new one and now I can use my computor. I get pop up windows now asking to use my keychain and I have to clear these before continuing. Calendar Agent, Address book, icloud helper, are the main culprets. How can I get these cleared?

Is it asking for the Local Items keychain? If so, open up Finder and click Go on the top menu bar then select Go To Folder. Type in ~/Library/Keychains and press Go. In here you will see a folder with a series of numbers and letters separated by hyphens. Delete this folder and then try restarting the computer.

Safari login keychain box keeps popping up - how to stop?

Please excuse this rookie question, but we recently bought an IMac. The Safari login keychain box keeps popping up and after clicking on cancel, it comes up again and after clicking on cancel again it goes away for a while, then comes back later and does the same thing. How to stop?

OS x 10.5 Lion or 10.9 Mavericks?
OS X 10.9 Mavericks
“Local Items” keychain prompt?

Help Please my Keychain Login keeps popping up and refusing my password.

I don't normally have a login password on boot up but I have not used the login for so long I've forgotten my password.
OK so I used the MacBook 13 Install Disk and reset the password to something more memorable.
Then it advised me to synchronize this with the Keychain Password which I knew nothing about.
So I put in the same password in the keychain password box.
Now when I boot up I get a password box and my user name every time (I'd like to switch that off as I don't need a password, I'm the only user and nobody will steal this MacBook)
But even when I login with my new password, the Keychain Password box keeps popping up and asking for the pass. I type in the one I had set and it tells me that's incorrect. So the box pops up again and again.
Next it came up every time I tried to send or receive email and asked me to log the email password into the Keychain list as well so I did place a tick in that box. But still the Keychain keeps coming up.
Can I switch off all the BootUp adminstrator password boxes so it goes the way it used to when I first got it? Also can I kill off the Keychain thing as it has 18 entries in it that maybe can be scrapped. They're all my chat passwords and email server ones in the list.
I tried a Keychain Verify and Repair in the Applications Utilities and it says all is checking out fine yet it still won't accept what I type in the password box for Keychain. I'm only using a 7 letter password.
Can anyone solve this for me if I follow the list of instructions on how to turn all this password thing off? Hope so.
Thanks

Tutorial: Keychain issues; resolving
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password.
This can be accomplished via the following process:
Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities
Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
Click the "First Aid" tab
Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
Close the Preferences window
Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
Enter your username and password
Click the "Repair" button
Another option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible.
This can be accomplished as follows:
Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting "New Keychain"
You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, enable root user.
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, Keychain may be to blame.
For example, it appears that in some cases, failures in .Mac synchronization transfers are linked to issues with Keychain.
If you are having problems synchronizing data with .Mac servers, you may want to try the following process:
Open System Preferences and access the .Mac pane
Click the "Sync" tab
Uncheck the "Synchronize with .Mac" checkbox
Close System Preferences
Re-open System Preferences and repeat steps 1 and 2
Re-check the "Synchronize with .Mac" checkbox
If the above process does not re-allow synchronization, you may need to leave Keychain synchronization turned off in the "Sync" tab of the .Mac System Preferences pane.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

Keychain Login keeps popping up, what do I do?

Every time I use my MacPro lately, a message keeps popping up asking me for my keychain login for different applications like Itunes and Chrome. It even pops up every 10 or so minutes when I'm using it. I tried deleting everything from Keychain access, but nothing has changed, so what do I do?

Back up all data.
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 login 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, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Keychain password keeps popping out

Keychain password keep poping out every time I use something, I tried to change the password for couple of times but didn't stop, tried to delete all keychains in first aid keychain but still nothing stopped. What should I do?

At some point, you reset your keychain to default in Keychain Access. That caused your login keychain to be renamed.
Back up all data.
In Keychain Access, delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Keychains
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. Rename the file "login.keychain" in that folder to something like "login-old.keychain". Rename the file "login-renamed.keychain" to "login.keychain".
Back in Keychain Access, 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 you 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.

KeyChain Password Keeps Popping Up

(Only) ... so far .... on my daughter's User Acoount, when she is in Safari, etc. before she can use the apllications she is trying to use, the Key Chain Password window opens up each and every time and she has to click on the cancel button each time before she can go on. Where and What neesd changing in the Preferences/ Other so this doesn't keep happening ?
Thanks

Hi Eric,
if you do not know the password of her keychain then there is no way to change the password. This is what makes the keychain so secure: no password - no access.
By default, both your login and your keychain password are the same. Once you log into your account the keychain is opened and all applications that need a particular password to perform their duty can automatically retrieve that password from the keychain without any user interaction.
However, once your keychain has a different password it will not open on login. The applications will still try to access the stored informations but cannot do so, without giving them the keychain password. That is why these windows pop up, asking you for the keychain's password.
So, either you come up with the correct password and then change it to one that matches your daughter's login password or you will have to delete the keychain: In Keycain Access, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu and then delete the "login" keychain. Deleting the keychain removes the keychain from the Keychains list but does not remove the keychain file from your disk. If you remember your password later, you can recover the items stored in the keychain by choosing Edit > Keychain List and adding this file.

Password request keeps popping up in itunes

I know this question has been asked before, but how do you stop the password request for your Apple ID from popping up continuously in iTunes, even after you entered it?

Chances are that you have slightly different 'Artist' labels for those songs.
This could be as simple as 'The Rolling Stones' vs. 'Rolling Stones' or more difficult to spot due to leading or trailing blanks, such as:
' Rolling Stones' or 'Rolling Stones '.
You'll have to figure out your own specific situation.

Updated to 10.9.4 (Mavericks). Now a fake 'java' update request keeps popping up.

Howdy! I updated my MacBook Pro recently to 10.9.4 (Mavericks). Update went fine, except for one issue.
Several times a day since the update, a Software Update window pops up prompting me to install an update to run 'java.' See the attached screen capture image.
As you can see, it looks pretty fishy. For one thing, there's no "decline" option: simply "Not Now" or "Install." For another, they couldn't even capitalize "java." And Software Updates claims that all of my programs are up to date.
I'm assuming this is some kind of virus/malware. But, scans of my computer don't show anything nefarious installed on my machine.
I keep hitting "Not Now" every time this window pops up. But, I'm afraid one day I'll accidentally hit "Install" (especially since it pops up without warning). Any suggestions or advice on how to deal with this?
Thanks!

HT1349 Last week I was prompted to do an update on my MacBook Pro which I did & now different things keep popping up asking for passwords for a keychain & it won't go away. I don't know what these are & I don't know how to access them. Help me please

Last week I was prompted to do an update on my Mac Book Pro which I did. Ever since I did the update a box keeps popping up asking for login info for my keychains & they won't go away. I have no clue what these keychains are & I don't know how to find them & know the passwords for each of them. Plus now I don't get my email on here either. Please help me...

Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

What is this apps infusion request that keeps popping up when I visit web sites?

What is this apps infusion request that keeps popping up when I go to any website?

I see.
You'll get that prompt if (1) you have "Limit website access to location services ... Prompt for each website once each day" selected in Safari > Preferences > Privacy and (2) the website you are visiting requests your location. The other options for (1) are "... Prompt for each website one time only" and "Deny without prompting" in both Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8); for privacy reasons, there is no option to allow without prompting.
It makes sense that the website you were visiting might need your location to provide you with local vendors. If they employ the services of the business technology company names Infusion, that's why the request refers to apps.infusion.com instead of the top-level site you were visiting.
As for why it started suddenly last week, that could be for any of several reasons.
* Did you just start visiting that food service site?
* Maybe the food service site just started using Infusion's services.
* Maybe Infusion just started using Mac OS X services to obtain your location.

A request for my admin password keeps popping up randomly and a symbol (5 blue circles surrounding a yellow star) will show in the dock. I haven't typed in my password, just keep cancelling it. itg is called finish_installation.

A request for my admin password keeps popping up randomly and a symbol (5 blue circles surrounding a yellow star) will show in the dock. I haven't typed in my password, just keep cancelling it. The file is called "finish_installation". Also icon is very pixelated. It seems very suspect and I am afraid my mac has a virus?!?!?! Any one? Please help.
I can not find this file anywhere on the system after this request shows up!

Doubtful it's malware ...
Try relaunching the Finder. Press Command + Option + Esc then select Finder in Force Quit window then click Restart.
If that doesn't help, launch the Terminal app located in HD > Applications > Utlities
Copy and paste this command into the Terminal window:
killall Dock then press Return or Enter on your keyboard.
The Dock will disappear for must a moment.
See if that made a difference.
