Safari keychain lock

at random times a box pops up asking for my safari keychain sign-in and password. unfortunately, i don't know what this is. i've tried typing in my password, and it says it's invalid. how do i get rid of this? i usually just hit cancel and it goes away, but it seems to pop up every time i try to send a page. recently safari has started unexpectedly quitting as well. any suggestions?

I've been having a similar problem for months. 1) One day Safari would no longer accept passwords. I've reset Safari, emptied cache, cleared cookies, and repaired permissions but Safari STILL won't accept any option for passwords but not now. 2) AND it won't connect to any site that requires a secure connection. I'm running IE (which I hate) right now b/c I couldn't use Safari to log in. 3) And finally, I caontinually get the mesaage that Safari cant open such-and-such a page because it couldnt establish a secure connection to the server support.apple.com.
Help?

Safari will lock up on my MacBook Pro. Force quit doesn't help. When I try to restart the computer, I get an error saying Safari cancelled the restart. I have to press the power button to shut down the computer.

While I'm using safari, it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?

Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.

Safari often locks up when trying to load from a certain site

Certain pages in my county government website cause safari to lock up. I pretty much have this problem only on the county website and only on certain pages. Happens regardless of pop-up blocker status or cookie acceptance. Any suggestions?

Ok.... in that case, boot from your install disc. Run Disk Utility in case there are errors on the startup disk that need repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

I have a new MacBook Pro and every time I open Safari it locks up???

Okay, then you have made a whole bunch of trouble for yourself. First, download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
and then you can manually remove as many bits of PSE as you can find. Not only the application itself, but also in hard drive>library>application support>adobe. And go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything there pertaining to PSE. That library is hidden. To see it, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.
Then go here to download the installer and install it from scratch. You can never move an installed copy of PSE (except for the app store version):

Safari Keychain Password

Hello,
My k0mp00ter skillz arent goodly.
I'm migrating over from IE to Safari, and everytime I look up, there's a pop up, asking for my keychain password. Well, I have no clue WTH it is. I dont ever remember messing with Safari to make a password. As of right now, Safari is letting me do whatever I need, but that **** pop up is annoying.
Is there a way to reset my Safari Keychain thingie, so I know for sure what my password is? Is there a way I can go digging in Macintosh HD to find the password. Should I shoot my Mac?
Regards,
Brian

Hi Oly
did you do this, from the helper in keychainaccess
2nd option for safari keychain autofill:
( Deleting a keychain
If your keychain has become inaccessible for some reason (for example, if you've forgotten the password), you can delete it and manually create a new keychain.
When you delete the keychain, you have two options:
▪ Delete References removes the keychain from the keychain list but does not remove the keychain file from your disk. If you remember your password later, you can recover the items stored in the keychain by choosing File > Add Keychain and opening this file.
➔ ▪ Delete References & Files removes the keychain from the keychain
list and removes the file from your disk. You might choose this if the
file is corrupted or damaged in some way and you don't want to recover it
1) Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities.
2) Click Show Keychains if the keychain drawer is closed, then select the keychain you want to delete.
3) Choose File > Delete "keychain" (the command will show the name of the selected keychain).
4) Click Delete References or Delete References & Files. )
Also what happens if you Un-check "Autofill items in Safari preferences?
i have it off on both 10.3.9 & Tiger 10.4.4 on power book.

Restore Safari Keychain data after Remove All

Restore Safari Keychain data after Remove All
I mistakenly removed all Safari Keychain data, which, of course, also removed the data from my iOS devices. I attempted a restore with a "Keychain" folder. It's on my desktop, but I'm not sure what to do with it or if it's even the right data. Can anyone help with how to restore keychain with Mozy? Thanks!!

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the AutoFill tab.
Select: User names and passwords
Visit a website. Enter the login data. You will be prompted tos save that data to a new keychain.
Restore... as I mentioned previously, Mozy is not compatible with Keychain Access. There is no way to restore with Mozy.
In the future, you may want to use iCloud Keycahin to store login data.

When in mail, opening it in Safari, it locks up. Why is this happening

When in mail, opening it up in Safari,, it locks up. Why is this happening? The only way to unlock is to go to Settings>mail> load remote images and turn off. Then turn off wi-fi and turn it back on. Then go to mail and it is back to normal. Why would this be locking up. RDH

If this is happening in Safari like you say, this might help as well.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Keychain locked

I am trying to start my mobileme account. In the process I found my keychain locked. It doesn't do anything when I click on the lock. I click on the little button at the bottom left and I don't get anything in the box on the upper left like it shows in the illustrations. Nothing to click on. I have tried keychain repair and it fails. How can I unlock my keychain?
Thanks

Try resetting your keychain in Mac OS X 10.4, or Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, or later: *Not the same as repairing.*
Open Keychain Access, which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
From the Keychain Access menu, choose Preferences.
Click Reset My Keychain, which is under the General pane.
Authenticate with your account login password.
Quit Keychain Access.
Restart your computer.
*If you are asked to unlock your keychain*
Your login keychain has the same password as your Mac OS X user account. When you log in, the keychain password is automatically unlocked for you.
If you don’t have a password for your user account, leave the password field empty when you’re asked for your keychain password. Your keychain will be unlocked automatically.
If you choose a different password for your keychain, you will need to authenticate your keychain separately after you are logged in.
When your keychain is locked, you will receive a message whenever an application wants access to a password in your keychain.
You can configure when your keychain will lock.
To set the conditions when your keychain locks:
Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilites folder in the Applications folder.
Open Keychain Access
Select a keychain.
Choose Edit > “Change Settings for Keychain (keychain name).”
Select the keychain settings you want.
To require your keychain password when the computer has been idle: Select “Lock after ... minutes of inactivity” and set the number of minutes of inactivity before the keychain locks.
To require your keychain password to wake the computer from sleep: Select “Lock when sleeping.”
To keep passwords in sync across different computers: Select “Synchronize this keychain using MobileMe” on each of the computers you want to be synchronized. If you have a MobileMe subscription you can synchronize your passwords, certificates, secure notes, and other items in your keychains across your computers.

HT1338 My Macbook Pro is running slowly and Safari keeps locking up. What can I do to fix it?

My Macbook Pro has been running slowly for several weeks. Safari keeps locking up and I have to Force Quit. It is very frustrating because it has always worked so well. My software is all up to date and I'm not using anything big - normally just Safari, Word, Excel or Powerpoint. Is there something I can do to clean it up or fix it?
Thanks!

It would of had to be a very powerful magnet to damage, actually erase, the hard drive. That is the only thing that would cause it from starting up, a magnet powerful enough to erase part of the data on the drive. Hard drives are also shielded to some degree to prevent this from happening. If this particular mac was running lion or mountain lion try booting to the Recovery HD, hold down the command+r keys at startup. If that doesn't work try command+option+r key and hold those down until you see a globe on the screen. That will boot the system from over the internet from the Apple servers using the online recovery system. That is if the system can use the online recovery system. Only systems newer then late 2011 model can use it. From either type of boot try to repair the drive using disk utility. If that fails then you will need to reinstall OS X on the system.
I doubt the magnet cause any physical damage to the hardware in the system. So once you repair the drive or reinstall the OS the system should start working again.

Weird constant keychain lock sound?

Since updating to 10.6.7, I'm getting a constant locking sound of keychain. My Keychains are locked and the lock sound kept going on and on for no apparent reason. Removed all keychains and the lock sound persisted. Looked into Activity Monitor, nothing suspicious. My Mac is protected by anti-virus software by the way.
What's up with the locking sound. Can't find a fix by googling. Anyone has any idea on this issue and a possible fix?
Thanks.

I'm not sure of the cause or solution, but since I replied yesterday, the problem seems to have gone away.
Prior to making the posting when I first heard the sounds I noticed that I had left 1Password (although locked) and Keychain Access running and thought that might have something do to with it. So i quit them, but still had the noises after the screensaver came on. I even rebooted and still had the problem. I'd hear the sound when the screensaver first came on and then periodically after that.
After posting yesterday, I checked settings in System Preferences and Keychain Access that might have to do with keychain locking and unlocking. I didn't see anything unusual and I'm pretty sure that I didn't change anything, but since that time I haven't been hearing the sound. I've even left 1Password and Keychain Access running and the problem hasn't reoccurred.
I don't know if System Preferences or Keychain Access changed something behind the scenes, but it might be worth a try.

I have a work ipad but they have removed safari and locked it down so i cant put apps from my itunes account onto it. Any ideas on what i can do.

Besides the ethical and professional issues involved, the iPad appears to be linked to a different iTunes account than your personal one. Applications are tied to the account, not the device - so if you were able to use your personal account to install the apps in question, you'd be wiping out all the ones your employer put on.
If you feel these apps are necessary for your work, then talk to your supervisor/tech department about them purchasing additional copies for use on the iPad.

My safari is locked. There is a lock icon in the top right corner with an arrow around it, but I have no clue how it got there, and don't know if that's the reason!

Requesting Safari Keychain Password

For some reason my computer constantly is asking me for a safari keychain password. I have no idea what it is as it won't accept my normal sign on password. How do I stop this? I clicked on details and one time I was able to get to where it talks about this and I thought I had deleted something but it's still popping up. Do I have to use this feature? Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to get this to stop?
