Mail and Safari keep asking me for my Keychain password
Hi all,
I've read several posts and tried some suggestions but it did not solve my problem:
Some weeks ago, I completely re-installed MacOS on my iBook and copied my libraries and personal folders from my external harddrive back to the laptop. Everything works fine except one thing: Everytime I open Mail after starting the iBook it asks me for entering my Keychain password (it does not happen when I receive or send mail, only when opening for the first time after starting). When I use Safari and need to enter a username and password it asks the same. It's a dialogue box I've never seen before, I cannot check that it should remember the password, it only shows a field for entering the password and two additional info fields.
I tried Keychain First Aid: There was a problem that could be resolved but it did not solve my problem. I've checked and unchecked the suggested boxes - nothing happened. Anybody out there who's got a clue what's up with my Keychain?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
never mind because of the name thing, it happens all the time.
Thanx! I repaired my disk permissions - my problem stays the same.
I'm not sure how I delete the Key Chain prefs and start from scratch - could you give me a short how to? I'm not that technically gifted.

I have a new iPhone 5c and it keeps asking me for my voicemail password. Is this where I begin the voicemail set-up?
Usually, the default voicemail password is your telephone number.
Contact your cell provider. -

Hi, I forgot my icloud password and my ipodtouch keeps asking me for my icloud password. When I enter my apple ID password, it will not accept it. I have been trying to find where I can reset my icloud password with no success. Please can someone help?
You reset the iClould password the same way you reset the Apple ID for the email address/account
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information. -
my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.
I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again. -
=I got a replacement iphone 4 and now it keeps asking me for my kids passwords for the apple id. How do I remove their accounts without messing up their passwords?
An iTunes account cannot be transferred to or created on an iOS device by itself.
Did you sync your iPhone with iTunes when iTunes was logged in with your kid's iTunes account - did you transfer any iTunes content to your iPhone including apps that were downloaded with your kid's iTunes account?
If so, this is why you are being prompted for the password for that iTunes account. -
My ipod touch keeps asking me for my yahoo password anyone know why?
my ipod touch keeps asking me for my yahoo password anyone know why?
Because Yahoo is messed up. I suspect you have Yahoo mail in your Mail app. Go to settings>Mail>Yahoo and reenter your Yahoo password. You may have to reset the password.

Iphone keeps asking me for my AppleID password
My iPhone keeps asking me for my AppleID password.
This usually happens after I wake the phone and/or start any app. The problem is intermittent (and too consistant that it has become very annoying!)
This started happening about 1.5 weeks ago.
I called into Apple support and they don't have any idea of how to fix it other than me backing up my phone and performing a brand new restore. I haven't done that yet as it seems to be a brute force approach (and lengthy timewise at that).
From what I can remember, I purchased a song from my iPhone using the iTunes store. Ever since then, it has started asking me for my password for my AppleID. If I enter the password and click OK, everything is fine, but after a few moments, it will ask me for my password again. Also, if I hit Cancel, everything is fine, and again, it will ask me for my AppleID password.
I have the lastest build/version of iOS 5.0.1 installed. The password entered IS correct. I am able to purchase music/movies/tv shows from my AppleTV with the same AppleID and password. I have verified on my iPhone under settings, Itunes that my AppleID is correct as well.
Anybody else getting this and/or have a solution?Could be a few things...Some things to check:
-Do you have pending downloads in the itunes store? Go to ITunes Store > More > Downloads
-Are you signed into the correct Apple ID in the store? Go to Settings > Store and check the Apple ID. It may be a good idea to just sign out (by tapping on the apple ID and choosing sign out) and sign back in even if you are.
-Other things that use your Apple ID that you might check: App Store, Facetime, iMessage, iCould, Game Center -
Iphone keeps asking me for apple user password
ok so I have looked at a few threads on the same topic, but I can't as of yet figure out how to fix it.
Basically I was using an app and I purchased something within the app which needed my apple password (all safe, done it plenty of times), so it started out then as only when I had this app open it would ask for my password. Now it's just popping up randomly asking me for it when I am not even using the app.
I tried doing everything suggested that I could find in other threads, nothing in any download queues, no downloads paused, reset my phone, synced it, made sure everything was up to date. I even tried deleting the app in the first place ...
I know that restoring my phone and starting from scratch will probably do it, but it's such a pain in the *** doing so ... so wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and could suggest anything else to try first?I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.

I accidentally erased my keychain passwords, how can I replace it? ( I was in the keychains folder on the password link when i pressed delete). I thought I was deleting one account but it deleted everything. I now keep getting pop-ups asking me for a keychain password...which I don't remember ever creating.
Try running Keychain Access/First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

I have installed adobe pdf and put in my password and its still asking me for a document password in which I have no idea what it is
So you put your password in when you installed it?
If that's the case, that was just your administrator password used to allow the install. It has nothing to do with the document.
If the document is asking for a password, you'll need to get that from the person that added a password to the pdf.
If neither of the above helps, please give us more info on what you are attempting to do and what is going wrong. LEtting us know your version of Adobe Reader may also be helpful. -
