OS X v 10.9.5: Repeated prompts to unlock "Local Items" keychain.

I cannot open "Local Items" keychain as I do not have a clue what the password could be.  I have tried other things on the forum, but none seem to work.  I can open the keychain, but not the local items keychain.  What can I do?

Then, try Apple's Support.

  • TS5362 OS X Mavericks v10.9.1: Repeated prompts to unlock "Local Items" keychain,no matter how I tried.HELP, PLEASE!

    I"ve tried the above method. But it still appears all the time. Terrible.

    Back up all data.
    In Keychain Access, delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Keychains
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. Rename the file "login.keychain" in that folder to something like "login-old.keychain". Rename the file "login_renamed_1.keychain" to "login.keychain". You can then close the folder.
    Back in Keychain Access, select
    File ▹ Add Keychain...
    from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file you named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.

  • HT6065 I installed this update.  I have never had problems with "multiple prompts to unlock "Local items" keychain" until after I installed this update.  Now, I can't get it to STOP prompting me.

    So how do I fix this?  How do I get this to go away?  It's prompting me for a password that I haven't ever set up!

    I have the same problem with three pop-up prompts:
    (1) com.apple.iCloudHelper wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password.
    (2) CalendarAgent wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password.
    (3) AddressBookSourceSync wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password.
    I can enter my login password and the prompt goes away for a little while, but eventually returns.  Or I can click on "Cancel" many multiple times and it goes away for a little while, but returns again.
    I want a solution too and hope this additional information will help.

  • Prompts to use local items keychain, but no numerically named folder in library/keychains folder to delete?

    There are. Prompts to use local items keychain, but no numerically named folder in library/keychains folder to delete? What to do?

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ls -@Oaen L*/Keyc* | pbcopy
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

  • How do I get rid of the prompt to unlock the "Local Items" keychain in various applications?

    How do I get rid of the prompt to unlock the "Local Items" keychainin various applications?

    Generally the easiest fix is to go into Finder. Click go at the very top of your screen. Hold down option, you will see a Library folder pop up. Go into the Library and then into Keychain. Delete everything in this folder. Restart. If that doesn't fix it go to Spotlight (the little magnifying glass in the top right) type Keychain Access. Make sure the little lock in the top left of that window is unlocked. Hope this helps.

  • Outlook 2013 patch of November 12, 2013 makes Outlook repeatedly prompt for credentials

    Hi,
    Since November 12 Tuesday patch day my Outlook 2013 would repeatedly prompt me for credentials on one of my Exchange account. I reported this to our help desk in charge of mail services and they couldn't explain how this can happen as my mailbox was configured
    correctly using Auto Discovery. Deleting and recreating my Outlook profile did not help as didn't further tips found on the net. I could confirm my correct credentials 10 times in a row and the window wouldn't stop popping up immediately again. If I clicked
    cancel, the prompts would reappear after a couple of minutes. This can be hugely disruptive to one's productivity.
    Since I realized all had been fine since that massive roll out of updates, I began to wonder which update exactly may have caused it. My plan was to uninstall updates of that day one by one and to narrow down the culprit.
    My first shot was successful:
    Security Update of Microsoft Outlook 2013 (KB2837618) 32-Bit edition
    When uninstalling this one, another update is removed automatically:
    Update for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2837643) 32-Bit edition
    That was it. Once these guys were removed, there was finally peace again. But beware! If you have automatic Windows Updates enabled, they are quietly streamed back to your computer in a matter of minutes and the infernal prompts start again. Hence, you basically
    have to turn automatic updates off and then make sure these get not installed again in future.
    At least until Microsoft provides a patch for the patch.
    As a sidenote, I should mention that this problem only occurs for one of my 3 Exchange accounts, all with different companies (none is a Microsoft Cloud-based one). So perhaps it is the interaction of that new update AND some faulty server-side settings that
    are at the root of the problem, really. As I'm no sys admin, I wouldn't know how to figure it out but leave the clues given here to the experts. Very ironically, I never encountered any problems with any of my Exchange accounts on any of my Mac or iOS clients.
    EDIT: In the bugfix description ttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2837618 they list under known issues: "After this update is applied, you may experience issues with S/MIME certificate verification in Microsoft Outlook. This issue is caused because the update
    disables remote intermediate certificate fetching in Outlook." And then they give you a registry hack to apply at your own risk. I do not know how to decipher this, do "issues with S/MIME certificate verification" give rise to the infinite loop
    of credential prompts?

    With the MS update rollout of 14 January 2014, the new patch to remove manually to maintain normal functionality and not have the above repeated credential prompts is: KB2850061 (Update for Microsoft Outlook 2013), http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2850061
    Otherwise, since that day, the prompts kept reappearing on my computer.
    Please vote up my posts if you find this information useful.

  • Outlook 2013 repeatedly prompts for password when connecting to Exchange Server 2010

    I am trying to configure Outlook 2013 on a Windows 8.1 Pro client.  The exchange server is 2010 SP1 and works just fine with OL 2010.
    When I configure OL 2013, the configuration prompts for a password for the account repeatedly with both NTLM and Basic Authentication chosen.  OL 2013 tries to connect and then it disconnects with the password for the account repeatedly prompted. When
    the credentials are entered, the prompt reappears immediately.
    Might anyone help?
    Many thanks in advance

    Hi Shuvo,
    Please check whether this user can access mailbox in OWA. Please manual setup this account in Control Panel to have a try. Make sure your

  • I'm getting repeated prompts to enter my password, but only for calendars

    I'm getting repeated prompts to enter my password, but only for iCal. In iCal I see an alert, and when I bring it up I get this:
    My other iCloud functions seem to be working fine. I'm iMessaging, etc.

    I've seen a couple reports on here, and mine has been down for an hour or more. However, as usual there is no indication of issues on the iCloud status page.

  • Repeatedly prompted for air play password?

    At work I am repeatedly prompted to enter a password for Air Play though I've never even setup an Air Play password.  This just started happening to me recently and is random.....some days it never pops up and days like today It's popped up multiple times.  Very frustrating.

    Hello leavitt050,
    It may help to force close all open apps and reset your device.
    Force an app to close in iOS
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5137
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
    If you're still getting prompted for an AirPlay password, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

  • [Maybe solved] Repeated prompts for username and password on HTTP(S)

    I'm new to IOS but I'm taking ICND 1 and ICND 2 to catch up. I've gone as far as configuring a 3560 switch from "scratch" in a test environment, and am in part one of ICND 2.
    Setting this switch up for HTTP administration, I've been prompted repeatedly for my username and password both when using a browser directly and when using Cisco Network Assistant (currently 5.5). This is different from the production switches I'm working with, that will prompt me once only and let me work. At first I suspected this was because I'm trying to use SSL and an in-house certitficate authority to sign the switch's certificate, but this is happening in plain HTTP as well.  If I'm persistent enough, I eventually get the pages or configuration screens I want.
    The difference between the production 3560s and my testing one, is the test one uses IOS 12.2(53), the current version.  The production ones use 12.2(25)SEE3 through 12.2(35)SE5 and probably everything in between.  I'm also experimenting with the releases that includes the web-based device manager on my test switch, but the behaviour is similar whether the image has the web-based manager or not.

    In an update to this problem, I've reverted the switch I've been testing back to 12.2(35)SE5, which is what the majority of my production 3560s use. It appears to behave in the same fashion: Repeatedly asking for credentials over HTTP(S).
    While my non-production switch has a local user database set up, my production switches use two ACS servers.  The relevant bits of the running config are:
    aaa new-model
    aaa group server tacacs+ mcbhtacacs
    server 10.1.2.221
    server 10.1.2.222
    aaa group server radius mcbhradius
    server 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
    server 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
    aaa authentication login default group mcbhtacacs local
    aaa authentication login LOCALAUTH local
    aaa authorization exec default group mcbhtacacs
    aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
    aaa accounting exec default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
    aaa accounting commands 1 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
    aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
    aaa accounting system default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
    aaa session-id common
    tacacs-server host 10.1.2.221 key 7 [censored]
    tacacs-server host 10.1.2.222 key 7 [censored]
    tacacs-server directed-request
    radius-server host 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
    radius-server host 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
    radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
    Another switch that does work without repeated prompting has these relevant bits:
    aaa new-model
    aaa group server tacacs+ mcbhtacacs
    server 10.1.2.221
    server 10.1.2.222
    aaa group server radius mcbhradius
    server 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
    server 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
    aaa authentication login default group mcbhtacacs local
    aaa authentication login LOCALAUTH local
    aaa authorization exec default group mcbhtacacs local
    aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
    aaa accounting exec default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
    aaa accounting commands 1 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
    aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
    aaa accounting system default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
    aaa session-id common
    tacacs-server host 10.1.2.221 key 7 [censored]
    tacacs-server host 10.1.2.222 key 7 [censored[
    tacacs-server directed-request
    radius-server host 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
    radius-server host 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
    radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
    10.1.2.221 and 10.1.2.222 are the ACS servers, running ACS 4.1 and are linked to a pair of Active Directory domain controllers.
    Aside from host names, these two switches appear to have an identical AAA configuration.  So why would the first switch repeatedly ask for credentials over HTTP when the second switch with the same software does not?

  • Repeated prompts for Apple ID password in iTunes

    I can sign in to iTunes with both of my Apple ID's but then get repeated prompts for my password when I attempt to access purchased items or account information.  No similar problem on my Mac Book Pro or iPad.
    I have de-authorized and re-authorized the computer for both ID's.  I also looked for the SC folder but it cannot be found (Apple advises trashing it).  I therefore have no access to recent purchases or my own account information.  Help anyone?
    Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1

    You may need to do a credit card "update" in your account.  Apparently "it" needed a re-verify because I had accessed my apple account from another computer.  Did so and it worked. Apple is opaque in many ways and it was totally unhelpful as it just kept rejecting my good password with no explanation.

    Hello Kuldip13,
    It sounds like iTunes keeps asking you to authorize the computer. If you have already tried all the steps within the article you came from:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    I would next check to see if the same Apple ID is signed into, that was used to play these purchases with this article:
    Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Was repeatedly prompted to authorize this computer or I would no longer be able to play certain video's.

    Hello, I kept receiving prompts to authorize this computer or I would no longer be able to view certain video's.  The funny thing is my computer is the administrator or original computer. Never had a problem for years now this started happening. I would select authorize this computer and it would say this computer is already authorized. In the block to authorize this computer it always had my daughters apple id (her e-mail address) and I would remove it and insert mine. I let her use the home sharing option before, could this have anything to do with it? Now i have only 1 movie out of 5 I have purchased remaining on my Ipod. And it won't reload the others back onto my ipod.  Where do i go from here? Appreciate any of you pro's out there lending me a helping hand.  Thanks very much.........

    Perhaps this article can help.
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    You may want to double check to make sure that all of these videos were actually purchased with your Apple ID. You can view this information from under each movie's Summary tab of the Get Info window in iTunes.

  • TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorise computer even after the computer is already authorised

    iTunes repeatedly prompts me to authorise computer before playing a particular song. The problem persists even after I've authorised my computer. When I try to authorise again, it acknowledges that my computer is alrady authorised but the song will still not play.

    Bought a song off iTunes Store on my iphone, came home, synced with my computer, and had the same problem with being asked for authorization. I authorized and recieved messages telling me my computer was authorized, yet it kept asking for authorization repeatidly every time I attempted to play the song. The song no longer worked on my iphone as well once I synced with my computer.
    I took newriii's advice, deleted the song off my iTunes, logged on the iTunes Store, viewed my purchases, downloaded the song once again, and it now works fine.
    Weird bug, yo.
