Keychain showing different character for the password
Hi just wanted to ask why my keychain is showing different character for my password in my AIM and Yahoo account? When i mark the show password its show plenty of letters but not the one i am really using. How can i show the right one?
Hi Irvin,
If you see a crazy corrupt password, I'd delete that item, ythen login yo AIM or Yahoo again to create a new one, unless you don't remember your PW, then try Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

LR2 and PS Eelements8 show different RGB for the same color - Please, HELP
LR2, Elements 8, Color Chart 24 (CC24),
Please help. I may need to reset LR2 to factory default or to something else.
For the following RAW adjustments the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0
I have photographed a CC24 in RAW. Opened image in Elements 8 and adjusted Exposure to 243 for the White patch #19
Then with with WB tool clicked on the 50% Gray and then readjusted exposure for the CC24 listed 243 for #19.
Now all Gray patches #19 through #24 as listed in the table or very close R=G=B (243, 200, 160, 122, 85, 52)
The RGB numbers for Red Patch #15 are R=169, G=58, B=63
The CC24 listed RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Also saved the adjusted image as JPG
Then opened the image in LR2 and adjusted exposure and WB as described above for Elements 8.
The Gray patches #19 through #24 show RGB numbers as listed in the table or very close.
The RGB numbers for the Red patch #15 are R=138, G=84, B=64.
However the CC24 RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Exported the image as JPG
Then opened the two saved JPG images in Elements. these two images read almost identical RGB numbers for each patch.
How can I fix LR2 RGB reading. Recently I have saved as defaults the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0 and probably did it wrong. My be I need to reset LR2 to the factory defaults to restore its correct reading or something else.
Please help.
LeonidQ1. Is that means that when LR2 Exported RAW to JPG the correct numbers resulted from conversion?
You should be careful with the term RGB numbers. Such numbers are only useful when you know the working space. For example, sRGB, adobeRGB, prophotoRGB, melissaRGB, etc. The numbers I calculated are simply the reference numbers (find them here: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorCheckerRGB.html ). I recalculated the values in the display space used in Lightroom from Bruce Lindbloom's values in normal prophotoRGB which is a simple arithmetic excercise. When Lightroom exports a jpeg, you can set the color space in the export panel and it will do the conversion for you meaning that it will translate between its internal colorspace and the desired export color space. In an external program, you will usually be working in sRGB, adobeRGB, or prophotoRGB, which are the three main spaces that Lightroom exports to. As you can see from Bruce's tables in the link above the RGB values for these patches in all these spaces are different.
For example RGB for MacBeth CC24 Red patch (#15) was shown as 203, 0, 0 and x-rite RGB is 174, 54, 60.
They are actually the exact same chart. As I say above the values are meaningless if you don't know the colorspace. The first RGB triplet you quote makes no sense at all. It does not correspond to any colorspace listed for the MacBeth chart. The zeros indicate that the color is far outside of the gamut of the used color space, so the value is basically useless. The second is sort of close to the sRGB value.
Q.2 Would it mean that your shown table should not be applied to (used with) x-rite CC24 but to MacBeth only?
They should be pretty good for both as the chart is supposed to be the same.
Q3. Have you created your posted LR table or it was provided by Adobe?
I created it myself. Since you have a colorchecker, you should look into creating a camera profile using it. This can be done with X-rite's excellent passport utility (free download from their website), or with Adobe's free DNG profile Editor. Simply shoot a chart in the right light conditions and run the raw/dng file through this utility and a profile is created that will allow you to get very good color rendering from your camera if you shoot raw. -
BlackBerry Desktop Keeps Asking for the Password
Alright, well here is the problem. I've connected my father's Bold 9790 device to my laptop with BlackBerry Descktop Installe. However, it will not allow me to proceed with any actions such as the much needed backup feature without entering the password.
Here is the catch, my father kept entering the wrong password on his phone for some reason. I'm not sure why, but he isn't one of the most tech savvy guys out there. He gave it to my little brother since he is (a dumb tryhard, well tech wise lol) and tries to always be the tech hero even when he lacks sufficient knowledge on the situation. I myself don't even own a blackberry, have never used one, but i was aware of the whole 10 attempt thing until the wipe. While he was making the attempts, i was thinking two things at the time. One was that there weren't two many attempts made yet. Two, that maybe after all these years since me learning about it, RIM may have came up with a better and less devastating security feature. Man was I wrong on both of these things. When my little brother gives up and my dad finally decides to give me the phone to figure out the issue. It asks for me to enter blackberry, then after that tells me it was the final attempt before a complete wipe. Had I had just one or two extra chances, i'm pretty positive i could have gotten it unlocked, but it's too late for that.
I have a single shot, and not much else sadly. My first instinct was to obviously back it up. But as you can see, the worst of my fears have been realised seeing as Blackberry Desktop is also asking for the pass stating that it is also the final attempt. Backing up is often a recommended solution i find on these forums, but is Blackberry Desktop usually suppposed to always ask you for the pass before you can even connect to it fully?
So now I'm at a point where i don't know what to do. Are there really no other options? I've heard that there are a few people who have claimed to bypass the security feature, but they've never shared how, and if true, it is also quite complex to figure out.
One further complication is that by default, the keypad for the password enters numbers, but right now it is entering letters by default. His password contains 4 numbers. I've read on forums that if you type in the corresponding letters in place of the numbers, it is actually the correct way to enter it, instead of pressing alt and the corresponding character for the password. Can anyone else confirm this? So if the pass was "2113" would i put in the default "ewwr" instead of pressing alt to type in "2113?
Any replies would most greatly be appreciated. I'm not a blackberry user, so issues such as these are not too fresh in my mind atm lol.Hi and Welcome to the Community!

As you discovered, no. BB's remain the recognized leader in security, and lessening this function would lessen that rating.

Yes...consider...if the Desktop Software could bypass the device lock security, then someone would have access to all of the data on the BB. The device lock security is intended to keep anyone but the actual user from accessing the information, regardless of method of attempted access. Again...part of that high security thing.

There is no "master", "override", or "bypass" mechanism to get past the user-created device lock password...again, if there were, then the security level of the device would not be as strong as it is. I've no idea what anyone may have claimed elsewhere...but I highly doubt that they are actually successful.
Do note that, if you truly know the password, and can successfully enter it on either interface (the device keyboard or the PC keyboard when prompted), that will reset the counter...the same counter of attempts is used for both. So if you do succeed on one, you will have more chances again on the other.

Maybe...it all depends on what the password actually is. If, when it was created, the proper sequence of using the alt key was not done, then the password may truly not be what it is thought to be.
For instance, if your password is
ab123
and you enter
a > b > ALT > 1 > 2 > 3
the actual result will be
ab1er
You must enter
a > b > ALT > 1 > ALT > 2 > ALT > 3
in order to wind up with ab123. So, in this example, while on the BB keyboard you think you are typing ab123, you are actually typing ab1er.
But no one can tell you what it is...only correctly entering it can reveal what is correct. And, with just the one chance left, the likelihood of success is low.
Good luck!

My used macbook is asking for password to unlock different keychains, how do i reset the password?
my used macbook is asking for password to unlock different keychains, how do i reset the password?
Hi nylife02,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Without knowing the exact keychain alert your are receiving, I will leave articles for the ones that are most likely the culprit. The one it sounds most like to me is “login” keychain. Please review the article below if indeed you are receiving the “login” keychain prompt.
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1631
Another keychain prompt that this may be is the “Local Items” keychain. Please follow the attached article if the prompt is for “Local Items” keychain.

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
donBut 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.

I can't update apps because iphone 5 is asking for the password to a different itunes account
In my settings under iTunes and App Store I am signed in with my iTunes account.
However, when I go to update apps it asks me for the password to a different iTunes account - that of my partner who also uses my iMac.
I've tried signing out and signing back in via Settings but it's still asking for my partner's password instead of mine.
What should I do?the apps were orignially download with the old ID and are linked forever to that old ID. You need ot delete the apps and if you want them you need to download with your currrent ID

I am signed into my apple id account. When I go to update iPhoto, it asks to sign into my dad's old account in order to update. It will not let me change the apple id to mine, it only asks for the password which is impossible to get a hold of. Literally. Help?!
That would be because the licensed copy of iPhoto on your Mac belongs to your father. Only he can update the app. Was this once his Mac?

Regarding Mail: When I return to my computer after it has gone to sleep, my accounts go offline, and are always asking me for the password. THis is very annoying. How can I prevent this?
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

Mail ask for the password all the time
Hello.
For the last month I´ve been experiencing problems with my mail. It ask me for the password every few seconds. I´ve have already tried all the solutions published at the help page in apple the site, but the problem is still on.
Could anyone of you give some help.
Many thanks.
PS: if someone could send me an answer in spanish, it could be easier for me.
Thanks.
IBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Hola Luis.
I’ll reply in English, amongst other reasons because that allows me to copy & paste between posts, but let me know if there is something you don’t fully understand. You can post in Spanish if you want. BTW, you can make your life easier in these forums by going to System Preferences > International and moving English to the top of the list. The next time you launch an application, it'll be all in English.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again.
Note that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password, regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or the account may have become full, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server... If the latter (i.e. if there is a problem with the network or the server), the problem will probably fix itself after some time for no apparent reason.
Actually, if Mail asks for the password every few seconds, then you’re probably checking for mail too often, and that alone could be the reason you have this problem. What’s the time interval chosen in Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference. -
I have succesfully connected a MacBook Air, an iPad and two iPhones to the wireless network in this hotel. Apple TV can see the network and "connects" to the network, but w/o asking for password. I expected to see a screen immediately after selecting the network that asked me for the password as did all of my other devices. ATV did not ask me for a password. When I go to Settings>General>Network, it shows the name of the hotel wireless network, but I can't communicate with the network. It can't set date and time. When I try to enter my Apple account name and password, it tells me it can't log in w/o setting date and time.
Any ideas on how to connect to this network?I am having the same problem. In my hotel when I connect my laptop a screen will pop up and you have to hit the button "I Accept Terms". However I can't do that with the ATV. I called the internet provider and they said they could not help me. Any ideas? Do you think the guy just doesn't know what he can do for me? I am thinking I will call later and hope to get a different technician who might know how to help connect me.
