Profile reset - keychain gone? Help

My entire desktop seems to have reset itself. This includes my profile and anything associated with my account. When I open iPhoto or Photobooth, none of my photos are there. All font sizes have been reset to default and the wallpaper and screensaver have reset as well. All of my photos are still on the hard drive as I have located them with finder, but they are no longer associated with this profile/account/keychain?
The ONLY thing I can think of that I did to affect this was in Finder, I renamed the name next to the house icon from 'apple' to my name. This seems to have created a new folder corresponding to my name. When I tried to rename it back it said 'this account already exists.' But if I log out and come back, the one with my name is the only one it allows me to log in with. I went into the system preferences and changed the actually name in 'accounts' back to 'apple' but none of the settings and file association are linking back up. What do I do? Thanks in advance.

That did it! See attempting to rename your home folder for the fix.

Profile reset after power cut

Hello
i would like a profile reset please on my bt infinity, we had a few power cuts, and the speed has dropped and interleaving has been applied, the speed hasnt gone back up ,neither has the interleaving been turned off.
Please help
Thanks

Can you run a speedtest at www.speedtester.bt.com and post the results please? Run the FTTC/ADSL speedtest not the BETA test.
Turning your Infinity modem off and back on should see the speed increase and the profile match. Unless there's a fault with either the modem or the line.
Regarding interleaving, there's no way to have it turned off on Infinity. If the line is stable then DLM will remove interleaving however it's unknown at the moment how long this can take. Some have seen it come off in a couple of weeks, others it has taken 6 weeks.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

BRAS Profile Reset

Right, I've been trying to explain to BT's "support" (both online and on the telephone), the issue that I have been having.
For a few years we have had a problem on our line, this saturday a BT engineer came round and found a fault in the road side box with our line. He fixed it and tested it with his bit of kit, he said that we are capable of much faster speeds due to how close we are to the road side box.
He said because of the previous fault our speed had been restricted to just 4mb/s, he would normally ring a number to have this restriction removed but because it was not on his jobs list, he could not.
He said we should call and to be honest it's like talking to a brick wall. What has turned from a simple request has turned into some ongoing operation.
A few minutes searching here now makes me believe we need our "BRAS profile" reset. Could someone please explain to me the quickest, hassle free way of having this done, without having to deal with people asking me to check my cables etc
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

all you need to do is leave the connection alone for up to 2 weeks and once the DLM sees the line as stable again it should start to rise again as only Openreach can do the reset and they do not deal directly with the public

After password has been reset how do I reset keychain?

After password has been reset how do I reset keychain?

That article is a great help if you remember your OLD login password.
If not, the bad news is in this article:
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
read it carefully, It explains how to change your keychain by using the OLD password.
If you don't remember your original (former) account password
If you don't remember your original password, you'll need to delete the keychain. Deleting a keychain also deletes all the password data saved in that keychain.
If this applies, it means is that your old saved passwords are lost.
You will have to start collecting them anew and adding them to the new keychain. Use Web mail and log in to your email with a Browser. Get them to send you your old password or reset it, then record the new one in Mail Preferences, and it will be saved in the current login keychain.
You will have to do a similar exercise with your other saved passwords.

RE: Anyway of checking if IP Profile reset has bee...

I had BT Infinity installed on 12/12/11.Order details stated Download speed should be 16.8Mb same as advertised on
BT Speed checker against my telephone no. BT engineer tested speed using speedtest.net and result 17.05. I checked the IP Profile and it was set to 17014kbps. After ten day period checked speed and it was averaging around 10.6 using speedtest.net. Using BT Speedtest it was 10MB. IP Profile was 11033kbps and IP profile has remained at that. I have since had 2 engineers out the first engineer stated no fault found and he will request a IP Profile reset.
Assume no request was made as IP Profile stayed the same. 2nd engineer could not believe how low the speed and IP Profile was and thought 16.8MB was on the conservative side as confirmed that distance to cabinet is only
0.6miles . He replaced modem and NTE and rang while at house to request S&R reset I assume that is same as IP Profile reset but advised that systems down but request was noted and should be carried out by end of day. I noticed later that day that IP Profile had moved to 12.67 but has remained at that over the past few days so I do not know if that has increased because of resyncing with a new modem or if IP Profile has been reset. . Can anyone confirm anyway of checking if IP Profile reset has been carried out..i.e will broadband connection drop for a moment.- .I have checked connection time and there has been no disconnection since modem was replaced. Does the download speed /IP Profile change frequently during the 10 day period following reset which was the pattern during the 10 day period from install of BT Infinity equipment. - I do not want to wait another 7 days to find that IP Profile has not been reset and IP Profile will still l be at 12.67. as it will be near the 3 month period since install of equipment and according to the last paragraph of my order details were it states " If your broadband connection speed after the first ten day period is a lot lower than the estimate in this order confirmation,let us know within three months of the contract starting" - this implies they are one of the ISP's that have signed up to OFCOM's Voluntary Broadband Speeds code of practice which states that customers will be able to leave the provider within the first 3 months of their contract without penalty if unable to resolve problem that access line speed is a lot lower than estimated speed.

Resetting keychain in OS X

Followed the directions on the help page for resetting keychain. On third step, in General Preferences, clicked Reset My Default Keychain. Got a pop-up message: "The specified keychain could not be found." So now what? Keep getting all kinds of keychain messages, no passwords work, have to cancel each one in order to progress. Messages include login keychain not found, no keychain to store Safari, etc. Such a pain! There's got to be an easy fix to this, but have no idea what to do next. Help!

Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

On Lion 10.7.x you need to hold the CMD+r Keys insyead of notting from an Instsall Disc, but try that & step 3 onward...
"Try Disk Utility
   1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
   3. Click the First Aid tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

How Do I Reset Keychain and Get Rid of All the Password Popups?

I was away four a few weeks and just before doing so I had reset my user password? When I returned I couldn't remember it, so I had to reset it in recovery mode. After doing this and booting up I'm getting oodles of prompts to enter my Keychain Login which I do not know, so I do reset which doesn't take. Mail also asks for all my mail accounts passwords which I enter and do not take either.
How can I clear all the Keychain info and start from scratch before I pull all my hair out?
Lastly, I do not backup Keychain to iCloud.
OS 10.9.4

I talked to Apple Technical Support last night about it. What caused mine to start popping up was that I changed my settings and created a login password for my computer. It must not have been the same password as my keychain password so keychain password popups started. Technical support had me reset keychain with the login required for my computer and now I don't have popups anymore.
If you have AppleCare on your computer that is current, you can call technical support with any issues and they'll gladly walk you through your Mac troubles.

How to request bRAS profile reset - persistently s...

Hi,
After four months of messing about, I am approaching desparation. I have been a BT ADSL customer at my current address for over 10 years, throughout that period, I have consistently had around 3.5 - 4 Mbps download speed, occasionally slightly faster. Around January, my speed dropped considerably to around 1.
I initially linked this to some engineering works at the end of my road, where Openreach have installed (but not activated) a fibre cabinet. However, my speed has never returned to normal. Following several bewildering and frustrating conversations with the call centre, I have essentially replaced all my internal telecoms wiring and have installed an ADSL splitter faceplate on the master socket - which my modem is plugged into.
I would post line stats, but I can't get them. I don't have a BT HomeHub (I still have my Voyager modem in a cupboard somewhere) but rather use a TPLink Modem in bridge mode to a WD Router. This kit doesn't give information re: SNR etc. The best I can do is use the BTW Performance Test at http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ which shows:
Download Speed 2.41
Upload 0.37
Ping Latency 50.75
I have tried the "Further Diagnostics" option hundreds of times, and it never works. "An error occurred while trying to retrieve additional details..."
I have managed to establish from a Freola line quality test that I don't suffer from lost packets, and Jitter is low, (1-2)
I have left all my equipment switched on without reset for weeks, in the hope that the line would auto-adjust back up, but it doesn't.
Is there any way to request a bRAS profile reset without more agonsing conversations in broken english telling me to unscrew my faceplate, plug into the test socket etc? I appreciate that it might make no difference, but I have exhausted all other options.
My exchange was due for a FTTC upgrade by the end of 2014, then it was the end of April 2015, now it's apparently by the end of the 2015 calender year. I'm not holding my breath, but if it's engineering works at the exchange that have caused the problem - it would have been nice to have been informed...
Exchange: Kirkbride LCKKB
Cabinet: 3

My fully charged iphone4 is dead. Power and home reset doesn't help.What else can I try?

How do you know it's fully charged? Are you sure your adapter is working?
Plug it in to mains power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically turn on, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If it still doesn't turn on, it's likely a hardware failure.

BRAS/IP Profile reset.

Right, I'm finally sick being stuck on a line profile of 26520Kbps when I know my line is capable of syncning at 40Mb (Result of a stupid voice fault from a few months ago).
How do I get in touch with the mods to get the BRAS profile reset?
Many thanks,

Well, hats off to the BT Engineer. What a star.
He arrived 2 hours early. I told him of my woes and he immediately set about the problem. Plugged in those nifty handheld devices into the phoneline and set about the test.
Screen showed a max attainable of 43Mbps down and 7Mbps up, with the current sync at 27Mbps down and 7Mpbs up.
He phoned up the exchange and spoke to a guy who was exceptionally reluctant to reset the DLM profile, said he could find no errors on the line and that it was pointless to reset it. Engineer accpected this and told me there was nothing more he could do. He was about to leave, but decided to do one more test via my telephone. Not sure what it was, but said he would recieve the results in an SMS. He then left.
30 seconds later, he rang my mobile, explaining, to his suprise, that the test had reported a fault. Off he went to the Cabinet and low and behold, he found a fault on an E-Side cable. He later told me this was rather unusual, as problems are generally from the Cab to the Home, not Cab to the Exchange. He replaced the cable (told me it was the first E-Side one he's had to replace) and then told me that the Exchange were now more agreeable to reset the line.
He came back, plugged in his nifty handheld DSL tester and voila! 40Mbps down.
I'm a happy chappy. Really pleased with the Engineer. Most wouldn't have bothered, but he persisted and now I'm getting the most out of my money. Pitty you can't contact OpenReach, as I would quite like to sing his praises to a higher up.
Many thanks to Dean for raising an incident too. I doubt the Call Centre's would have done as much.
