Messages Agent wants to use my confidential information??
Good afternoon,
Every time I restart my computer a window opens up saying:
Messages Agent wants to use your confidential information stored in "FaceTime: email address.com" in your keychain.
do you want to allow access to this item?
Always Allow Deny Allow
This has been happening since i've updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10
What is this and should I Allow it?
Thanks

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 and start typing the name.
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
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

Just updated to Mavericks on my MAC. There is a pop-up that states:" Messages agent wants to use your confidential information stored in Facetime".
(brings up an email address and that it's in my keychain). Then it goes on to state, "Do you want to allow access to this item?" I am to click on always allow or deny or allow. I would like to delete this. I do not want to allow the stated email address. I keep denying it access, yet it keeps popping up. Please help!Open FaceTime in Applications.
Turn Off Face Time.

Photostream Agent wants to use your confidential information
I keep getting the following message when I power on: "Photostream Agent wants to use your confidential information stored in icloud in your keychain. Do you want to allow access." I click, "Deny" and the same message pops up again. I click, "Deny" and it disappears for good until the next time I power on.
Is there some way to get rid of this pop up. I don't even understand who Photostream is and why an agent would want my info. Maybe it has something to do with my keychain settings.
Thank you.Thank you, captfred.
I unchecked "photostream" in icloud. Does this mean that my photos on my hard drive are no longer backed up in icloud? I want to back them up, I just don't want to "share" them with a "Photostream Agent", or anyone else for that matter as I have pictures of my children on my hard drive. -
Every time I login I get the message "aosnotifyd wants to use your confidential information stored in "my name" in your keychain." How do I know if it is safe to allow this? Can anyone advise please?
My immediate reaction is to deny.
Have you downloaded or installed any application that may relate to the abbreviation AOS? It may not necessarily be the application's name, could be the developer or distributor.
As it's occuring at log-in, go to System Preferences > Accounts > your account > Login Items and look for a related item. If there's one there, right-click (or ctrl click) on it and select Reveal in Finder. That will show you where the originator of the item is on your system and should give you more of a clue as to what it is.
I'd remove the item from login items anyway (highlight and click the minus sign at the bottom of the window). There shouldn't be anything trying to use your keychain info to notify anyone. -
Hello when I downloaded software OSX 10.9.1 now on startup I get this message 2 times: Identityservicesd wants to use your confidential information stored in Facetime @yahoo.com in your keychain. This is very annoying and slows my computer down. I dont use or dont want to use Facetime and Keychain is annoying also but i dont know how to delete either one.

I don't know why, but all of a sudden, I keep getting this message from my mail program. I keep saying Deny, but it comes back. I have searched relentlessly and have found no answers. Since the app is called translate, all I keep getting are translation information. Nothing to do with whatever is going on here.
Here is a copy of the message:
*translate wants to use your confidential information stored in "Exchange" in your keychain.*
I don't know if this is legit, or if it is something malicious. Can anyone with any knowledge in this, please enlighten me.
TIA, BillyFirst the basics.
Which mail program?
Any third party software being used in conjunction with mail or to enhance the system? (e.g., There are translation programs which are meant to interact with mail, I think.)
What happens if you search your mac for the string "translate", any applications show up?

I repeatedly see the popup:
"identityservicesd wants to use your confidential information stored in "<key>" in your keychain"
If I click "always allow" it still comes up.
I've followed instructions elsewhere on this forum to open Keychain Access and use First Aid, but to no avail.
Previously I would receive the popup "messages app wants to use your confidential information..." but I changed the Access Control to allow all applications to access this item, hoping that would do the trick. But sadly it didn't work.
Any ideas?
(Also, ever since upgrading to Mavericks, it wants to go through first-time setup every time I log in. I'm prompted to enter my iCloud password, etc. etc. but the above problem predates that)My immediate reaction is to deny.

OSX 10.10.2 fresh new iMac.
When I open FaceTime and log in, I'm presented with a message.wants to use your confidential information stored in ids:<my appleID emailaddress> - AuthToken in your keychain. Option to Always Allow, Deny or Allow. Clicking either one will bring me back to FaceTime login screen. I'm not able to login.
Google search results suggest resetting KeyChain or Since this is a new mac, I don't really have anything in my Keychain.
I've already went into Keychain preferences and made sure it was unlocked and even reset the Keychain preferences.
I'm able to login on my iPhone and my other iMac running 10.10.2 as well.FaceTime, Game Center, Messages - Get help signing in

System preferences wants to use confidential information stored in my keychain
Images are not being displayed in emails on my Mac. This includes sending photos from iphoto via email. When going in to System Preferences to see what I need to check, I get the window which reads "System Preferences wants to use your confidential information stored in "imap.aol.com" in your keychain. Should I "always allow", "deny" or "allow"?
I recently synched my contacts via icloud with my mac and my iphone (which created a whole different problem). That is the only thing I can think of that I have done recently (?). Speaking of the contacts issue, now my phone does not have the phone numbers and all of the information of my contacts as I had on my phone before the icloud synch. Now, the contacts in my phone seem to be mostly email addresses that were stored on my mac and no phone numbers!!! WT? Help. My love for Apple is waning.I too am losing confidence in Apple. I want to be able to make these choices and still have access to my apps.

Error message when trying to use Facetime
Hey all,
Im helping a friend getting started with Facetime on her iMac. However, before she can call someone she gets the error message,
"messaging agent wants to use the login keychain"
Has anyone come across this? I tried doing some searches online but came up with nothing.
Thanks!You can't do that. Instead, just remove "aaa new-model" from the config then try to deploy it. Alternatively, you can try "merge mode," but that will send the whole config back to the device.

IChat after Lion--Messaging Agent keeps wanting password
So since I upgraded, on my MacBook and iMac, whenever I startup iChat it presents me with a password request, saying "Messaging Agent wants password". It looks like Keychain is wanting access, but isn't giving me any options as far as "Always Remember" or whatever, so it isn't remembering the password. It asks me every time I quit and restart the app. Granted it's not a huge problem, but it is annoying and I'm not finding anyone else to have this problem, so it may just be me. I can't think of a way to fix this, can anyone else? Thanks.
Hi,
I have some information from an iChat 6 Buddy of mine.
His action is not to Enter any Passwords when this Pops up but to use the Cancel button.
If he then clicks to log in again and it works without asking for the Passwords.
On another note he rarley resorts to deleting any .plist to fix any issue he may have.
Howveer he has noted that in Lion in his /Users/(Shortname)/Library/Preferences (Home Folder/Library/...) he has several tens of .plists for iChat. (Many repeating the names)
He has Property List Editor (Part of the additional apps the Developer Tools install adds to you computer) which should open the .plists.
At this point some are identified as Aliases by Property List Editor - but there is no marking on the icon that they are Aliases.
He also notes that the com.apple.ichat.Yahoo.plist seems to have been created even though he has not set up an Yahoo Account (And I can't remember if iChat 3 set up a Jabber one when that was added).
At this point I am not sure what this may tell us (Other than my Buddy uses his computers differently to me) but the info may spread some light on the subject.

"Safari wants to use login keychain" how do I stop this message popping up
Hello out there!
Everytime I go to a new web page in Safari I box pops up on the screen with the message " Safari wants to use the login keychain. Please enter the keychain password." I click on the "cancel" button and the message disappears and I can get to the web page ok. It's just that having this message box pop up all the bloody time is driving me crazy. Is there anybody out there who knows how I can get rid of it entirely and restore my sanity please?
I don't want to use passwords or keychains.
Thank you so kindly for reading my posting and thank you in advance for any help.
Best regards Wooziewooster.Ah yes, you may also (or instead) need to "Open Keychain Access, and choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu, and click the Reset Keychain button. Enter your current login password and you're done." See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8318028�
