Open Keychain Access... shortcut don't work

What have I done wrong? Should this not work?

I think I finally solved my problem, and the solution is related to the first one I suggested, but goes another step. If you are no longer having the problem, ignore this step. But in my case, I changed the lock settings and sleep settings and it still did not solve my problem.
What DID solve the problem was a series of somewhat illogical steps, as follows:
Open Keychain Access
under Edit menu select Keychain List
you will see a list of the keychains recognized by Keychain Access. If you are using any keychains other than login and System, make sure they show there. If not, use the "+" button to add the missing one. This should open to your Keychain folder (which is within your user Library.) Double-click to add a missing keychain (iCloud keychain does not show up there, so don't look for it.)
I took the login keychain and clicked on Shared. This 'disappeared' it from the list.
I then ran Keychain First Aid and it said settings for login keychains might cause problems because (they had re-set themselves to) "lock on sleep" and "lock in five minutes" were turned on again. First Aid fixed this by itself.
Then I went to my library->Keychains folder and double-clicked the login keychain, which then reappeared in the left hand panel of Keychain Access. You probably can do this just by going back to the Edit Keychain window and clicking the "+" (no need to poke around in the Keychains folder, which can be hard to find if you haven't told OS X to make your library visible. I went back to the Keychain List, and turned off Shared. Ran Keychain First Aid one more time. It has been an hour blessedly free of irritating requests for my keychain password.

  • After lion istallation i can't open Keychain Access, after lion istallation i can't open Keychain Access

    after then i istall lion ,if i open Keychain Access ,dont open it and i read this message" i can't open Keychain Access for a problem"
    for mi this is a big problem i can't lost every my keys
    help me please

    OK, let's try this...
    Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
    If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up in Safe Mode  (It will take more time to startup because it runs a directory check.)
    If your Keychain functions correctly that way, go to Keychain menu and "Rebuild Keychain. If not go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    * Again, Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library"

  • Lenovo Energy Management broken under Windows 8 - Shortcuts don't work

    I've noticed that the Energy Management tool does not work properly under Windows 8 on a U300S.
    Especially stuff like the keyboard shortcuts don't work:
    Pressing F7 to toggle the wireless and bluetooth settings doesn't bring up the usual onscreen-menu like it does in Windows 7
    The buttons to toggle the display brightness bring up the Windows 8 style brightness indicator but doesn't work.

    <Edited by Host>

    Sorry you've decided this is a rant but the objective observer would know that  all I want is a solution to at least the 3 issues mentioned. I spent the better part of 2 nights with techs that had me doing all the standard refresh items, i.e. setting the PRAM... and as time goes on my frustration grows. Last week spent days trying to find the driver software Maverick now needs and Apple is supposed to have it and doesn't. So at what point does this become a rant? I've done things the right way had mucho patience thus far and as a kicker, Apple won't let me download Mountain Lion to reinstall and rid my self of Maverick. Tell me, would you complain?

  • Photoshop CC 2013 and OS X Yosemite - Lag, Shortcuts Don't Work

    I don't have a regular Creative Cloud account. The version of Creative Cloud 2013 master collection is installed on my computer, and it can't be updated because it's not a Team CC account. The collection was provided from my work.
    The Version I have is Photoshop CC 14.2.1 x64
    Anyways, the big problems I am having is lagging on Photoshop are:  Shortcuts are barely working.
    Can't press the "UNDO" shortcut, have to use Drop down menu at the top of my computer.
    Spot Healing Brush is lagging when I go over something it leaves a dark mark, and when I click it again then it goes away
    The shortcut to zoom in or zoom out it doesn't go for like 20 seconds
    Any of the brush tools when I try to enlarge or make smaller using the shortcut key [ or ] it won't work.
    I knew I shouldn't have updated to Yosemite and deeply regretting it right now.
    Does anyone have any solutions to my problem??

    Installing the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin may help that issue: Menus, shortcuts, Lasso tool, or Photoshop stop working ...

  • Illustrator Zoom and Grabber Hand shortcuts don't work

    Hi There,
    This morning I opened Illustrator and some of the keyboard shortcuts had stopped working - specifically:
    Spacebar = Grabber Hand
    Zoom In = Command Spacebar
    Zoom Out = Command Option Spacebar
    Is there a way to reset this to make these work again?
    Also, if there's a shortcut or key combination that changed the defaults in the first place, is there a way to turn it off?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    When shortcuts stop working it's generally due to some third party application which has commandeered the shortcuts and refuses to let them go. Common culprits are Microsoft applications, Intuit applications, and some VPN applications. Make certain, if you are running any of this software, you've updated tot eh latest versions. You can test this by simply restarting the system. If the Illustrator shortcuts work after a reboot, then you absolutely have an issue with some third party application.

  • RV180W - Access Rules Don't Work

    Hi,
    We have a RV180W and the Access Rules will not work.  I'm trying to block HTTP and HTTPS services for a specific workstation on our LAN, but the access rules don't seem to be working.  I've also tried blocking different services as well as ANY service, but it's not working.  I've tried rebooting the router after adjusting settings; I've tried adjusting services from the Port Forwarding menu first; and a couple weeks ago, I upgraded the firmware to version 1.0.2.6 and repeated all the previous steps.  Nothing seems to be working.  So far the only solution I could come up with is to block the workstation's MAC address altogether, but I don't want that because I still need it to hit the internet for other services.
    Thank you,
    Ryan

    These are the Access Rules I've tried (firmware v1.0.2.6):

  • Keyboard shortcuts don't working.

    I used to my keyboard shortcuts at my mac, iphone and ipad bur my mac book don't work any more with this shortcuts. All my settings are ok on my iphone and ipad but it don't syncronize.
    Some onde can help me with this?

    Your user account is not named Administrator, though, is it? You probably don't have the built-in Administrator account turned on (it's off by default). See Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Help Forums and Elevated Command Prompt - Windows 7 Help Forums for directions on how to turn this account on and off.
    Before you do that, though, you can try some other things. Go to your current user account, as directed in the previous post, and rename the two Adobe folders, reboot and restart ID. New folders should be created, and hopefully the permissions will be correct. If the shortcuts still are not there.
    If that doesn't work, delete or rename the new Adobe folders created in the previous attempt, go to Users in Control Panel and create a new user account with and make it an administrator, then log on with that account and start InDesign. If the shortcuts work, copy the Adobe folders to your original user account.
    Still not working? Make sure you are logged in on your regular account. On each of the two Adobe folders in your user profile right-click and choose Properties, then the Security tab. Verify that your user and System both have full control.
    Still not working? Time to activate the Administrator Account.
    Set a Restore Point before you do any of this stuff, just in case....

  • Illustrator CS5 shortcuts - don´t work

    Hi everyone,
    after upgrading to CS5 on my work Mac, all of my favourite keyboard shortcuts (which are not custom) seems not to work. Here are the basics functions I´m missing:
    cmd+space = ZOOM IN
    tab when resizing objects = keeps the aspect ratio/proportions og the object
    holding alt then dragging objects = duplicate them
    These are very important funtions for me, but they don´t work for some reason. Scaling objects and keeping the same proportions is now a much longer process than I am used to.
    Would be glad if someone have a solution to this problem. The shortcuts are not listet in the properties, so I don´t know where to find them either.
    Best regards from Norway!

    I have investigated this problem some more, after finding out thru this forum at it's caused by some interferance with other software/plugins. I now have everything going as usual, that includes iTunes and Firefox, but I have not installed the Delicious plugin for Firefox - and it seems to work. I have not experienced the problem thru the last days, which is very unusual in the positive manner .
    The solution must be that if you have this problem or similar problems, it's probably caused by other software. try closing on by one, and restart CS4/5. Sort out which software is causing the problem.
    Weird think is that on my home computer, also an iMac with the exact same configuration as my work computer, this problem does not appear with any software installed. I have all plugins running in Firefox at all time, and every software is exactly the same as work...
    Thanks!

  • Hi guys, Having a problem with emoji. I have the emoji on my dock which I found a shortcut on Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoji and drag it to my email or whatever, and it will not drop into place. There is a blue square. Other shortcuts don't work.

    Hi Guys,
    Having problem with emoji, I have the character palette shortcut on my dock which I found through article from Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoticon and drag it to my email or whatever and get a blue box - no emoji. I tried the keyboard shortcut - doesn't work. I tried the drop down the menu in edit - doesn't work either. I am running Lion and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Want to fix this before I upgrade or should I just upgrade and hope for the best?  Been all over the net looking for solution.
    Thanks for your help,
    blueheron11

    Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
    With what app are you reading the yahoo mail?  There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
    You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
    You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon.  My email is tom at bluesky dot org.

  • [LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha Shortcuts don't work in LabVIEW

    Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
    Bug Synopsis: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts do not work in LabVIEW. Most notably, CTRL+SHIFT+Z, CTRL+SHIFT+E, and CTRL+SHIFT+S
    Test setup: LV2012 32bit with f1 patch running in Win7 64bit inside a Parallels 8 VM in OS X 10.8.1
    To summarize the testing I have tried:
    Many different LabVIEW, Guest OS, and Host OS combinations all fail, including:
    LV2012f1 32 and 64 bit, and LV2009 32 bit
    Win7 32 and 64bit, and also WinXP x64
    Parallels 7 and Parallels 8
    OS X 10.7 and 10.8
    Capturing the keyboard by the VM
    Twiddling every keyboard setting possible on Parallels, Guest, and Host
    Reinstalling keyboard drivers
    Plugging in a known-good keyboard that works on a native Windows machine
    Deleting LabVIEW.ini and letting it regenerate
    Remapping the shortcuts from, e.g., CTRL+SHIFT+E to CTRL+E - in this case, "Show in Project" works, so this might indicate it's a problem registering the shortcut press, not invoking the action itself.
    Sending the keystrokes via on-screen keyboards from both Guest and Host
    Sending the keystrokes via SendInput from user32.dll WinAPI
    Testing every imaginable combo of FN, CONTROL, ALT/OPTION, COMMAND/CMD, SHIFT
    Reinstalling VMs from scratch and reinstalling LV
    Here's a kicker: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts work fine on other Windows programs (I've tried 4 different programs, including Chrome, Notepad++, Paint.NET), yet it does NOT work for VIPM with CTRL+SHIFT+C. This means that the only two programs where the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha bugs exist are both LabVIEW-related.
    Here's another kicker: It's only CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts with the prob - CTRL+SHIFT+3 properly toggles grid alignment, and the "Tools >> Options >> Menu shortcuts" will register any CTRL+SHIFT+Non-alpha shortcut; it just does not respond to the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts.
    Any new troubleshooting ideas are highly appreciated; please feel free to jump in here or on LAVA.
