Keychain switches off, why?

Keychain in Mavericks switches off from time to time (approx once in a month). I don't switch it off ever, just recognize this when I try to login somewhere, or fill out a new form, etc, and it doesn't work, so I go to System Settings, and the Keychain is switched off. Even more annoyingly, when I try to switch it back on, it says, that a confirmation message (I'm not sure about the English term, I use the Hungarian version) has been sent to my other devices, but it doesn't happen. I have to try it 3-4 times, until I get something to my phone, and finally be able to switch it on in Mavericks. Anyone have any idea, why this happens?

It looks like your phone has a loose contact in there. Possibly with the battery.
You don't way which model you have so we can't say what you can do to check this.

  • Why does Time machine still ask for a disk when it is switched off?

    My Time Capsule recently died, PSU problems , I think. So I went into system prefs and deselected the Time Capsule as the back-up disk in Time Machine and switched off Time Machine. Yet every few minutes I get a window appearing telling me Time Machine can't find a back-up disk. Why is this happening and how do I stop it? Thanks

  • My Iphone 5 was working Ok last night, I waked up in the morning to find it switched off and don't want to reopen, why?

    Why suddenly my IPhone 5 switched off during night (Till I slept it was working ) and in the morning it doesn’t want to open, even the alarm didn’t wake me (the entire phone was switched off), I was leaving it charging and the battery was 80% (last time I used it before I went to bed)

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Why do i have switch off on my i phone to receive texts

    Why do I have to switch off and on my I phone to get texts, quite often its the same with sending although I have a signal it wont always send texts.

  • Why does my iMessage and FaceTime randomly switch off?

    It seems that my iPhone 4 has decided that it wants to randomly switch of iMessage and Factime at random points during the day. This has only happened since the os 5.0.1 upgrade! I have not reset it because i have heard that this does not work! I have tried just using my phone number, then just my apple id account, then both together on the settings for both, but it is still randomly switching off.
    Does anyone have a solution/fix to this problem?????

    pip2471 wrote:
    Has this solved the issue with you (if you have had the issue)? I have seen numerous people say taht resetting the phone does not help at all, that it just goes back to doing it after a while.
    I just wish someone at Apple would acknowledge it as everyone i have spoken to that has an iPhone has this issue.
    I've never heard of anyone having this issue before so I can't say whether or not resetting it will help. However, it's a simple, painless, less than 5 minute procedure so why wouldn't you try?
    I don't know what Apple has to acknowledge as it doesn't seem to be a particularly common problem. Yours is the first post I've seen on the issue.

    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

  • How can I stop Safari switching off Keychain items I want to keep open? It's annoying!

    I’ve got loads of passwords saved in Secure Notes in Keychain.
    Typically I’ll open a Secure Note and copy and paste the passwords into a Safari page.
    Now with Mavericks, as soon as I’ve pasted the password, the Secure Note is automatically switched off. I assume this is some sort of security feature? Trouble is, I quite often need to keep the Secure Note open for other reasons - so now I have to keep opening the same note!
    Does anyone know how I can stop this?

    Barney - I do value your help.
    I’m particularly grateful that you have investigated my problem and have confirmed that A. It is true and B. It can’t be altered.
    And I do appreciate that you have taken the time to look for a workaround issue for me.
    As far as I can see our only disagreement is over your suggestion that the solution is to have separate accounts.
    When I responded I wasn’t trying to be antagonistic - only to point out that in my case having separate accounts would be impractical.
    My only complaint is levelled at Apple, not you! They have done something to Keychain Access / Safari that may be a benefit to others - but it is an irritation to me.
    In an ideal world, I’d have an option in Safari Preferences saying something like: ‘Don’t let Autofill Passwords switch off Keychain Access Secure Notes after use’.
    So, my sincere apologies if I have come across as ungrateful. I really do appreciate that people like yourself take the time to selflessly offer community support to people like me.
    Cheers
    Nick

  • Why is my ipad still using battery power when switched off & locked away with no one using it?

    Why is my IPad still discharging battery when switched off and locked away - with no one using it?  Charged it to 100% on holiday and locked in safe.  2 days later it was at 76%!

    How is it "switched off"? Are you pressing the button on the top so the screen goes black? If so, that isn't shut off, but put to sleep. I will still be doing things in the background and using battery power.
    To shut it fully off, press and hold the button on top, you will get a notification on the screen that says "Slide to power off". Slide the button and it will turn completly off.
    If this is how you switched it off, let us know and we will see what else we can figure out.

    Same issue here both with my iphone 5S as well as my iPad2. THe sync to my macbook air does not complete and it shows a large overcapacity level when connected, but once I disconnect there is plenty of room (4 GB) available, not a 20 GB overage.

  • HT4972 Why since I updated to OS5 my bluetooth pairing is lost when the phone (3GS) is switched off?

    Since I updated to OS5 my bluetooth pairing is lost every time I switched off my phone (3GS), why is this the case?
    I have heard that others are also experiencing bluetooth issues.

    I'm encountering the same problem as the original poster.  In my case, I'm using FCP 10.1 (running on OS 10.9.1).  My source file is DV video imported via FireWire from a DV camcorder.  The clip's audio is fine when playing inside of Final Cut Pro 10.1, but when I share the project the audio track is just white noise.  My share settings are to Apple 720p devices (the subseqent dialog boxes indicate the software has figured out it's really 640x480 video).
    Here's what the QuickTime Inspector says about the source file:
    Format:
    DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
    Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
    Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
    FPS:  29.97
    Data Size:  5.87 GB
    Data Rate:  30.30 Mbit/s
    Current Size:  640-480 (actual)
    I tried changing from "faster encode" to "better quality", but it made no difference.
    The rather dated version of Compressor I have (v3.5.3) was able to encode the clip to H.264 640x480 and the results are fine.  However, it took way longer than FCP 10.1 (I think it's too old to be taking advantage of the GPU).

Maybe you are looking for
