Keychains has lock up computer

keychains ask for password after login. keychain will not acept paswords.

Hi John Diefenbach,
I would like to know that Does Reader Software crashes while opening regular PDF's too ( that doesn't involve forms)?
Did you tried disabling the protected mode in Adobe Reader ? Here's a Link that depicts the steps to disable Protected Mode - Reader Help | Protected mode (Windows).
P.S. - I would recommend you to not use Hard Restart option ( Pressing Power Button) unless your computer is completely 'unresponsive' , because it might lead to system instability and might corrupt your installed programs.
Please let me know if the above KB Link fixes your problem.
Regards,
Rahul Tyagi

'Find my Mac' has locked my computer

Since friday (3 days ago) my computer has been showing "Enter your system lock PIN code to unlock this Mac"
From what I can gather, the person who I bought it off (over 2 years ago now) has accidentally (or not) locked it, using the find my mac feature.
I bought it via gumtree and therefore have no way of tracking him down to ask him to unlock it.
Does anyone know a way around this?
Thanks

There is no way unless you contact the owner for the unlock code or get him too unlock it.
Well, I have booked a genius appointment, which I will be going to tomorrow, but from what you've said, I'm not hopeful they will be able to help me.

Keychain has locked items I can't acces??

OK, two items have shown up in my keychain - they are locked.
I can't access them, I can't delete them.
I don't know what they are or how they got there.
The first locked item is called .Mac (I know what that is, I'm a subscriber. But I didn't add this to my keychain, and I sure don't want it locked so I can't access it)
The second locked item I can't access or delete is called "Directory Services"
I'm the administrator of this computer so I'm at a loss as to:
1. How these two "locked" keychains got in my keychains
2. How I can delete these "locked" keychains
3. For idle curiosity's sake, what is "Directory Services"????
Help would be most appreciated - if there's a better area of the boards I should be posting in, suggestions will be welcomed.

hi,
just an idea:
try deleting the following file:
\library\preferences\com.apple.keychainaccess.plist
i must admit, its really ONLY an idea.
so it would be better to move the file somewhere else insteed of deleting it.
best regards

Avast update has locked up computer

I updated Avast and now I can't get a complete boot. I get the Welcome screen, enter my password, and am told that it is loading my programs - then nothing. I presume that I need to uninstall Avast using PC Doctor - which I can reach - but I don't know how to do it. Any suggestions will be MUCH appreciated.

Hello,
Have you tried starting the computer in Safe Mode by repeatedly tapping the F8 key just as soon as the ThinkPad logo disappears from the screen to get to the Boot Menu? From there, you may be able to boot the system and then uninstall Avast from it's entry on the Start Menu.
You may want to check with Avast technical support, though, as they may have some alternate suggestions about how to solve the problem.

Text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer

Any attempt to use text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer. I do not want to pay for an upgrade until I know that one of two things will happen: 1) the upgrade will fix this situation, OR 2) there is a way to repair the problem so that the upgrade will install properly

Select the T tool and try a reset - see image below:

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out and says disabled connect to itunes. The computer which this ipod was synced has crashed. How can I fix this?

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes. The computer she last synced to has crashed. How can I unlock this ipod?

The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.

We are building a movie in iMovie and that program has locked up. We cannot shut it down, even when we simply shut the whole computer down. Any suggestions?

We are building a movie in iMovie adn the program has locked up. It won't allow us to "quite" ... the wheel just keeps spinning. Thoughts?

Hi..
Command + Option + Esc will prompt the Force Quit window.
You can also force quit an app from your Apple menu top left in your screen or by using the Activity Monitor located in Applications/Utilities

I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod. All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead

I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod. All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead. I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do. I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!

The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer. I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Place the iPod in recovery mode. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Place the iPod in DFU mode:

If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd. If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have just downloaded iOS update but this has locked my iPad screen. Screen shows iTunes symbol with white arrow and padlock below it. I have tried to reboot but I am unable to unlock screen. Can anyone help with this please.

I have downloaded an iOS update on my iPad air2 but it has locked the screen and I can only see the iTunes symbol with a white arrow and a padlock below it. I have tried turning the iPad off and on but the same screen reappears. Has anyone had a similar problem?

What that symbol indicates is that your iPad has gone into recovery mode and now it needs to be restored in order for you to be able to use it again. You can reboot from now until the cows come home and it will not do any good.
You do indeed need to plug your iPad into your computer and use iTunes to restore the device.

Try:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

HT3180 MY Apple TV has locked up

MY Apple TV has locked up. I have unplugged everything waited over 10 minutes and re attached. Then I went on line and learned how to restart using down and menu on remote. It seemed to restart only to end up in same locked up screeen. please help

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

MY IPHOTO HAS LOCKED ITSELF HELP!!, MY IPHOTO HAS LOCKED ITSELF HELP!!
how do i unlock it please!!

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto tries to launch?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
