Resetting PRAM caused Keychain to stop working?!?

I reset my PRAM few days back and now keychain doesn't store any passwords. Everytime I log onto an accounts it promts if I want to save and I click Yes. I tried deleting everything from it, created a new keychain group but still no luck. Also tried repair, no go.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I didn't know how much I relied on keychain until recently.
Thanks

If you want to preserve the data on the startup drive, and it's not already backed up, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive or other storage device to hold the data.
1. Start up from the Recovery partition, from Internet Recovery, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
If you use FileVault 2, then you must first unlock the startup volume. Select its icon ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. Enter your login password when prompted.
2. If Method 1 fails because of disk errors, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
3. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
4. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

    After I purchased the creative cloud, I receive an error message when trying to use premier pro cc 2014.  It states "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.2 has stopped working.  A problem has caused it to stop working.  Windows will close the program and notify you of a solution."  When I used the trial I never received this message.  Now after purchasing it I receive this error each time I open PP and am unable to use. it.  Any ideas or support to fix this issue?

    What does the detailed crash report say?
    And have you updated your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website? (most crashes on launch are due to bugs in out of date video card drivers)

    I get an error message saying 'An error has caused Photoshop to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available'. I have had no notification. My old Photoshop CS5 works fine, but as I'm paying for CC2014 I would like to use it. I have tried renaming the 'sniffer' file to 'snifferold' as bobmiller4002 suggested but the problem is not resolved. Lightroom works fine.

    Hi Nancy,
                 I'm not sure I have the answers to all your questions. Although I use Photoshop and Lightroom extensively, I'm not a 'techy'.
    My system;
    Packard bell imedia S2885
    1TB hard drive
    500G RAM
    Windows 8.1   64- bit
    Intel core i5 4440
    If I open Photoshop cc14 without opening any image, I still get an error message that reads: 'Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware'.
    There is also a link to the Adobe help site, but I'm not sure exactly what I should be downloading from there.  
             Thanks,
                        Dan.

  • ITunes Store access causes "iTunes has Stopped working...Windows is check..

    When accessing iTunes Store from iTunes, which has worked well for several years, it stops half-way through progress bar and then I get the "iTunes has Stopped working...Windows is checking..."..then " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you..."
    Probably not a related problem, but also, when synching with an iPhone that I recently reset, copying just 188 tracks in selected playlists to transfer to the iPhone, the copying stops and hangs after just a few tracks, so this is unsuccessful too.
    Another iPhone worked a synch but fewer tracks to download!
    I've uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 9.2 etc - doesn't fix problem. Any help please?

    Wow, that is crazy .... but it worked! Thanks for taking the time to post that up as I would never have even dreamed of thinking that the display drivers would stop iTunes working... that *****.
    For any one else - this was Windows Vista on a Dell inspiron, went to Start menu-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Device Manager -> Display Adaptors -> right click on ATI Radeon (in my case) and then "Update driver software" and let windows search the web

  • HT4623 Iphone software update caused wifi to stop working

    When I updated my iphone 4s several weeks ago, it caused my wifi button to gray out and become non-functional.  Several apps also stopped working.  Can this be fixed?

    Not likely, But try, Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if better. If not, restore iPhone Firmware with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. See if better. If not, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • BROWSE BOX CAUSING PREMIERE TO STOP WORKING

    Hi guys
    I am having a problem with my browse box. If I try to save my project as the browse box opens but premiere will stop working and crash. If I try to import anything using the file menu the same happens. I can import using the media browser, but the problem is if I double click in the project panel by mistake when dragging media the browse box opens and premiere will freeze and crash losing all the progress.
    I am editing PAL HDV footage.
    How can I fix this problem?

    The version is CS5.0.3. I think its the Matrox drivers causing all these problems. Coz the RT X2 I had recently ceased the DVI preview and had to RMA it for a replacement. I have actually deleted the drivers and restarted installing them all over again, and it appears to be working, but some other projects it can cause the Premiere to crush, even After Effects and Photoshop if opened at the same time when dealing with dynamic linked compositions AE can just crash while I am working in premiere taking photoshop with it, then it will bring a dialogue box which say system tray or something. When I unistalled the drivers the problem disappeared.
    So why do I have to use the Matrox RT X2?
    Answer: When my RT X2 was away I used the secondary monitor hooked onto my GPU. When previewing fast action footage or that from  a panning camera, it was really awful it looked like 3D without glasses. Thats why I think I need to use my RT X2 at the moment. What is the best card for Colour Grading and previews, so I can really see all the out of focus shots and the likes?

  • Image Processor Jpg Files Cause LR to Stop Working

    Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 1.4.1
    Vista Ultimate 64 / 8 Gig Ram / Lots of Hard Drive space on Scratch Drive
    nVidia 8800 GTS w/640 MB Ram
    Image files processed in Photoshop
    Exported via: File > Scripts > Image Processor (IP)
    IP settings are default except the jpg output is set to 12/max
    From the same PSD file, no modifications in PS
    One file will cause LR to crash ("A problem caused the program to stop working correctly) the next does not.
    Both jpg files open and display without a problem in...
    - Photoshop
    - Adobe Camera Raw
    - Microsoft Office Picture Viewer
    - Apple Quicktime Picture Viewer
    - Windows Explorer (thumbnails)
    I have saved two otherwise identical files, one crashes LR every time, the other opens in LR fine, every time.
    This has been occurring in about 3 out of every 100 files saved via IP.
    The next time LR is opened it crashes again if the 'bad' file is not renamed or deleted due to the automatic file updating process.
    Trying to import 100 files requires importing them one at a time when this happens because there is nothing to indicate which file cause LR to break during the batch import.
    If Adobe Tech Support would like the two 'identical' files they can email me and I'll send them along.

  • Why will macbook randomly cause chargers to stop working?

    Hello all, first sorry for any grammar errors i may have i am reduced to typing this on my iphone. Heres my issue. Both me and my wife own macbooks. Mine is a mc207 and hers is a mc700. The issue is her macbook will randomly every couple months cause whatever charger she connects to to stop working for some time. They will eventually come back. But it takes me driving to a friends house and just briefly plugging my macbook into his charger just to get the orange light. Then i can go home and plug mine into either charger and they will both start working again. Will even then charge her computer. Why does this happen? This is a huge inconvenience. Any help is greatly appreciated

    Take her Mac and the charger that she uses and does not work with her Mac (Stop using both chargers on her system) to the Apple store for diagnosis.
    If for some reason you simply can't designate one changer for each unit then as posted above, Do as you please.

    Pardon my whining but i was so excited about my new computer, and now i can't open the program i use/need the most.
    I would love to have some more suggestions if you all have other things i can try.

  • What would cause CS5 to stop working whenever I select Photomerge ?

    Does any one know why CS5 would stop working everytime I select Photomerge ?

    Further interest. If I disable the Radeon Driver and open PS Photomerge works - so the graphics card - or driver - is immediately suspect. However if I thhen close PS and enable the graphics driver then reopen PS - Photomerge still works !!
    BUT next time I open PS, it crashes as soon as I open an image - then when I reopen it, it works OK but crashes when I launch Photomerge.
    I seriously think it is something weird going on between the computer and the viedo card that somehow PS is involved in.  I guess I'll just leave the question here until some genius pops up with the answer.
    In the meantime, I'll just disable the graphics card whenever I want to do a photomerge - whoch is frequently at the moment because I'm playing with focus stacking

    Many thanks for the thorough information, karmad.
    Fault Module Name: iTunes.dll
    That in particular, in conjunction with the other symptoms you've described, has me wondering about user-account-specific troubles.
    I'd try checking first to see if the errors are user-account-specific or systemwide, as per:
    [iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717]
    ... and if it does turn out to be a user-account-specific, error, I'd try steadily working through the troubleshooting possibilities in the user-specific troubleshooting section of that document.

  • Attaching new EZ Reader causes ADE to stop working

    I downloaded and installed ADE tonight so I can buy DRM books for my new Aztak EZ Reader, an ereader which is listed as compatible on this website. Itried to download some books from the sample library, but only EPUB format books worked - the PDF one just left a 1K file in my download folder: URLLink.acsm.
    OK, so I gave up on that, and decided to plug in my new ebook reader. A popup window comes up to authorize my mobile device, but then Windows (Vista) puts up a popup which says:

    Is it a Vista problem? This is a new PC.
    Thanks for any help - I want to get this set up so I can take advantage of a sale at Fictionwise that ends Jan 3!

    Update: I have discovered that the sequence is key. if I connect the EZ Reader first, then open ADE, it does not crash. I first did this on the older XP PC, and was able to activate/authorize my reader. I then tried it on the newer Vista PC, where I had downloaded the sample books from the ADE sample  library. ADE wanted to authorize the device on the Vista PC, but I cancelled that popup and was able to copy the ADE sample books to the reader and view them on it. I had trouble copying them using ADE, and did it through Windows Explorer, but it seems to work. However,  ADE pops up an activation window every time I open it with the reader attached, so I am not sure everything is really working smoothly.
    I have activated four devices so far - the 2 desktop PCs, a netbook, and the reader. I am unwilling to see what happens if I click OK on the activation popups that come up every time with ADE and my reader, for fear of using the six allowed up and then something breaking, or having to replace the reader or reload an operating system or something.
    My next test will be to actually buy a DRM book, download it and move it to my reader. If that works OK, I will be pretty confidant about it all.
    I hope this sequence can help someone else with similar issues.
