Pop-ups requesting passwords for keychain issues?

So today i downloaded OS X Mavericks. I thought it was pretty cool that you could have iCloud keychains. So, being someone who had never even opened key chain, opened the app to look around. It told me to log into keychain to view the content. Since i had never typed in a password on keychain, i assumed it was my account password. That didn't work:
Then around the same time, pop-ups from mail began asking for my password from all 4 of my accounts. I would type in the password for mail but the pop-ups would keep coming. So i went to the iCloud preferences because thats where i was directed to look at my online email accounts. But for some reason i was signed out of iCloud, so i typed in my information and this popped up:
Another issue with keychain!!!
So now I am not signed into iCloud, or keychain. iCloud isn't bothering me, although i would like to be connected. But keychain, even though i have quit it, keeps giving me these pop-ups!:
So now i can't do anything on my Macbook Pro (2011) because these keep popping up! I don't know my "Local Items" password so i cannot fix it!
Please help, this is ruining my day!

Try rebooting your Mac.
If that does not work, first repair permissions in Disk Utility and then reboot.
That worked for me.. now the password for Local Items is my login passwords, which is not what I want, but better than unknown..

I accidentally erased my keychain passwords, how can I replace it? 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.

Asking for password for keychain access, but won't accept my password... What's up with this?

Restarted my MacBook just now and it's got a continuous stream of pop ups asking for password for keychain access, won't accept my password, won't go away (cancel), any suggestions.

Hello Al323,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Keychain Access on your Mac. I found a couple of articles I suggest for the issue you described.
Your keychain uses your the same password as your login password. If it is not accepting that password, I recommend running the Keychain First Aid using the steps in this article:
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296
If you are still repeatedly seeing a prompt to enter your Keychain Access password, you may need to reset your keychain. This will create a new keychain so any saved passwords on the old keychain will not be available, and you will need to enter them when accessing sites for the first time again. Follow the steps in the article below to create a new keychain:

My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it.
I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail.
Is there anything I can do other than Resetting the entire computer and re installing all of the software, apps, etc.etc.

Back up all data before proceeding.
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.

See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

Unable to log into iCloud because old email pops up requesting password. Password not working and unable to receive reset

I changed the main email on my Appleid a few months back. Everything worked fine until uppgrading to iOS7 on my phone. I am now unable to log into iCloud because the old email pops up and requesting password which is not working. I cannot rest the password because my old email is unvalid as I have changed network provider. The id works fine on Appstore and iTunes so its only iCloud that making trouble.
Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

I'm also experiencing the same issue.
I've had to reset my password 3 times in the last 3 days.
At first, I couldn't get my email. I sweated it out for 12 hours, reset my password and I was good to go again. 48 hours later, I ran into the same issue. Only problem is, not only do I get the 'Incorrect username or password' on my device, but my iCloud.com login no longer works. so now I can't read my messages on the web OR on my device/computer.
I have went to appleid.apple.com and reset my password there: no luck.
I have reset the settings on my device: no luck.
I have Erase and Installed iOS 6.1.2: no luck.
I have restored my device back to factory settings: no luck.
I have performed a DFU restore: no luck.
This is my main account for, well everything.

Keep getting a mail pop up "enter password for account "SBC." ATT says I need to update my Mac mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this?

I keep getting an annoying pop up for mail "Enter password for account "SBC." I enter my password but it still pops up. But I can still get my mail when I click on "Get mail." I called ATT and they said they are aware of the problem with Mac users and that I have to update my Mac Mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this? They want to charge me.

RE: "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net".
I recently changed my ATT U-Verse password…and Mail quit working… it wouldn't send or receive, Safari worked fine. I tried to send an email and a warning message popped up, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net". In smaller type the next sentence read, "Enter the password for user [email protected]". The Password box was highlighted in blue so I just typed in my new password and my email message was immediately sent…but… I still couldn't receive messages AND the above "can't connect" warning message kept popping up on the screen at random.
Here's the Fix that worked for me. (The problem is that the new password was changed/updated on the keychains "smpt.att.yahoo.com" name-but- the name "pop.att.yahoo.com" didn't update to my new password).
Go to your Utility windows and select Keychain Access. Under Category select Passwords. Now check your password for your current (newest dated) name, "smpt.att.yahoo.com". Now check the password under, "pop.att.yahoo.com". Mine wasn't the same as my newest password found in my
"smpt.att.yahoo.com" window so I deleted my old password in the "pop.att.yahoo.com" window and typed in my new password, then selected "Save Changes". MY MAIL NOW WORKED…and no more warning messages cropped up. Problem was fixed.

Requesting password for automatic downloads

On opening iTunes 11.1 a message is popping up requesting my password to register for automatic downloads- how do I get rid of it?
What I have done so far without success: 1. providing my password, several times. 2. uncheck "automatic downlaods" in preferences 3. clelan uninstall and new set-up of iTunes 4. contacting telephone support 5. scratch my head
I hope there are some better suggestions!

I've been having the same problem for about a week now and it's driving me crazy. I've changed passwords in everything to reflect the new protocols (that nobody informed us about, I might add) of having at least one capital, etc. etc., but that hasn't changed anything. I do have one song pending download that WON'T download because the file at iTunes is apparently corrupt, and I can't seem to simply eliminate this one song from the queue. HELP!!!!

How to allow pop-ups in Safari for all users

How do you allow Safari pop-ups for all users? After rolling out 50 Mac OSX with Safari comes default with Safari pop-ups disabled, now I must allow pop-ups for all users logging in.
Good day!

Do you have an Exchange (e.g. a work) email account set up on the iPad ? If you do then it's possible that the account profile is preventing you turning popups 'on', in which case you would need to contact the email account administrator

Lion requests password for programs frequently

OS asks me for keychain passwords for Mail, Address book, and Safari. This did not start immediately after installing Lion but I wonder if settings are changed when updates to the Lion cluster of programs are downloaded. I have experienced these changed settings in previous OSX versions but have always been able to find the cure. I am stuck on this one right now.
I wonder if anyone can talk about the settings and how to set them for this kind of thing. The trouble is that I like to fix things and may have made it worse.

It sounds like you may have invalidated the code signatures of those applications. To find out, launch the Terminal application and copy or drag -- do not type -- the following line into the window:
codesign -vv /Applications/Mail.app
Press return. You should get the following lines of output below what you entered:
/Applications/Mail.app: valid on disk
/Applications/Mail.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
If that's not what you get, reinstall and re-update Lion.

How do I enable pop-ups -- generally or for a particular site. (Tablet version 9 or 10)

I have a corporate page that requires pop-ups to load. Actually it requires two pop-ups to load. So stock android 3.2 and Dolphin both choke with a "cannot open second pop-up window" message even after pop-ups are enabled.
I'd like to see if Firefox for tablets will work, but I can't get past even permitting the first pop-up.

When the site tries to launch a pop-up and Firefox's Show/Always/Never page appears in the background, a message appears in the foreground - "The page at ... says: The session manager window failed to open because your Web browser is configured to block pop-ups."
When I click OK in that foreground box, that box and the background Show/etc page disappear. I.e., I never get to say, "trust pop-ups for this site."
Is there any way to do this manually?

Como desbloquear pop-ups no firefox for android?

1. Escreva about:config na barra de endereço e aceite o aviso.
2. Busque pelo ítem dom.disable_open_during_load
3. Marque o valor como Falso.

Bridge Password for FTP issue

"Note: Adobe Bridge adds characters to the text you enter in the Password field after you click or press Tab to go to another field. Adobe Bridge adds these characters for security reasons."
This keeps me from logging into my FTP. How can I avoid it??

I am having this exact same issue. I am trying to setup Automator to go out and retrieve files from an FTP folder and everything is working perfectly except for the fact that I have enter my credentials each time even thought I have checked the box to remember the password. I have this issue on multiple ftp servers so I don't think it is something that is "server-specific"
