Set up iCloud keychain - country isn't in list

I'm trying to set up iCloud Keychain. Problem is, when I get to the part that says "Enter your phone number where SMS can be sent", my country isn't in the dropdown list. I live in Papua New Guinea (+675).

hello guys, i live in lebanon too and i was so frustrated by this. however i found the solution. when setting up icloud keychain, before creating a password for the keychain press on advanced options and choose not to create a password. you will ahve to use your account password to activate keychain on other device. this will bypass the sms confirmation

I am trying to set up iCloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line, even tho I have gone into my apple account and changed to my mobile phone

I am trying to set up Icloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line (which I guess I entered back when I first got my MacBook). I have gone into my apple account and changed the # to my mobile phone, but it continued to send it to the land line. Probably is something simple, but I am not a techy!!

Hi,
As regardss to the iChat and iChat Sharing categorisation you have used.
In iChat 6 (lion) and Messages (Mountain Lion) the apps login to AIM and to Me.com
The Login to Me.com allows AIM to verify the password to the iCloud issued names (@me.com and @iCloud.com)
This "Dual" login also prevents the newer iCloud issued name from using this site
(it has extra Privacy settings that iChat can't access for your AIM and Aim valid Accounts)
Ignoring the @mac.com and MobileMe entries in the Add Account Screen in iChat and using the AIM one does not get around this issue.
AIM and @mac.com names still work in older versions of iChat.
The short answer is that iCloud issued Apple IDs do not work in iChat 5 or Earlier.

I Can't Set Up iCloud Keychain!

I meant to type NOW at the end, not not.

Having trouble setting up iCloud Keychain in multiple devices

I set up for using iCloud Keychain on my iMac but am having problem getting through approval process for iPad. iPad demand either use of Security Code which I do not have or approve it from another devicer that uses iCloud Keychain. iCloud Keychain on iMac's preference says "waiting for approval from other device. clicking Detail tells me "Approval request has been sent to the other device using iCloud Keychain". Yet I do not see the request on my iPad. I am at complete loss. Appreciate any hint to get out of this mess.

TS4644 Trying to set up iCloud keychain on my laptop-

I have OSX 10.8.5 installed but when I bring up System Preferences and go to the icloud options keychain is not listed.

You need OS X 10.9 Mavericks
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813

How do i set up iCloud keychain if the security code was sent to a device i lost

So I lost my original ipone 5 while i was overseas. I locked it and wiped out the the information using Find My iPhone. Now i have a new ipone 5C but the verifivation code is being sent to my old phone number instead of my new one. I just want to keychain all my devices, those being an ipad mini, my mac book pro and my iphone 5C. Please help!

If you need to change the phone number associated with your account (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5834):
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Check that the phone number listed under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Check that the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

ICloud keychain: can't set up phone number

When setting up my keychain protection code i've chosen "generate random code", finished all steps and now option for setting up phone number in iCloud Keychain settings isn't available (not visible in iOS and disabled on Mac). If i change protection code any other ways (4-digit number or custom) then i can set up phone number.
So why is that happening - why i can't set up validation phone number when i use random-generated security code?

Turn off iMessage, Reset your iPhone (hold down the sleep and home button, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons), turn iMessage back on and see if it now shows your number.
If you are using a non-supported cell provider you will have to try other remedies.

ICloud Keychain SMS verification unavailable in my country

Hi! After i updated my Macbook Pro to OS X Mavericks.I'm unable to use iCloud Keychain because need SMS verification that is not available in my country(Cambodia).
Anyway to bypass this or is there other way?

Hello there, Thor.
It sounds like you are setting up iCloud Keychain and need to provide a mobile number for SMS verification. It looks like Cambodia is not listed for you because iCloud Keychain is not yet available in that country. The following Knowledge Base articles provide more information and updates on iCloud Keychain availability:

Icloud keychain activation/verification issue-

GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS!   ——> _so, … … … … first things first, i suppose:
Machine information [model/year/os/etc.]
iMac 21.5”, mid 2011
Processor: 2.5GHz intel core i5

Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB

          i know that listing all the specs. was probably superfluous and irrelevant to solving my problem, but you never know….
                          So….i decided to activate my icloud keychain for safari (Version 8.0.3), when i was directed to the dialogue box that i needed to check to do so, i of course had to type in my admin password - no problem …then it prompted me for a 4-digit security code - i realized that i must have set this up previously; knowing that and still not having even the most remote fragmented memory of this event happening worried me way more than the prospect of figuring out what i would have done…so i entered the correct code on my second try.
          Okay, here’s where things went wrong for me….apparently, my overly cautious…no, more like overly paranoid past-self decided to enable 2-step verification - an added security measure which is completely extraneous and annoying when it comes to my own personal lack of a need for protection…it became more than an annoyance when i realized that the phone number i submitted to have the verification code(s) sent was to a phone that i no longer own; needless to say, i don’t have access to any other devices where keychain is already enabled….how to prove my identity??? PLZ HELP

What should I do if I no longer have access to the phone number that my iCloud keychain verification code is sent to?

When I first turned in iCloud keychain I had no other Apple devises so I put in a phone number for it to send my verification number to. Then I had to delete that phone number but the iCloud keychain number is still saying it is going to send the verification number to that phone. How do I program in that that number is no longer active. Please help!!!!!

Hello Conor T,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you do not have access to the phone number you set up for iCloud Keychain, you will need to contact Apple Support to complete setup on a new device.
How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
If you can't access any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
Your iCloud Security Code
The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you can't access this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity, so that you can complete setup on your new device.
After you complete the setup, your iCloud Keychain will be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

ICloud Keychain setup failing despite entering correct verification code

I just installed Yosemite and I'm having trouble setting up iCloud keychain. I've done this about 7 times now and its not working. I go to set up iCloud Keycain (in iCoud prefs pane) i enter my Apple account password, then my 4 digit pin code, then i get an sms with verification code, i enter it in the dialog and it says the code is incorrect and now I've entered it too many times so now it says I must verify through Apple support. It was the same thing when I tried setting it up during Yosemite installation.
Anyone else having this problem?

Icloud keychain verification code text never arrives

I've been going through this process over and over and I never get the text message I need to get this rolling. It's making me crazy I've tried started from my iPhone and my mac same result no code by text message ever arrives. ios 8.1.3 and OS 10.9.5

Hello michelesapple,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you are unable to receive the iCloud Keychain verification code. I'm sorry this is causing so much frustration, but it is understandable as it's a great feature to use. To troubleshoot this specific issue where you're not receiving the SMS, please follow the steps below.
If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS
Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

ICloud Keychain help me please?

I Want to set up iCloud Keychain and when I go to Approve With Code it sends a verification code to an old phone that I no longer have access to if someone could help me change it that would be great

Welcome to the Apple community.

ICloud Keychain - Concerned about security

I received a text message this morning that read 'Your iCloud Keychain verification code is: ******'
I had never heard of iCloud Keychain up until this point and I certainly didn't request a verification code for it. Does this mean that somebody else has requested it? I have since changed the Apple ID password. Should I be concerned for my account's security? Cheers.

I would suggest you change that AppleID password then. If you got that message, someone using your iCloud account ID tried to set up iCloud keychain, and the message was sent to the primary number associated with that AppleID.
go to https://appleid.apple.com and change the password.
As an aside, just check your iPhone and iPad, under your iCloud account's settings, and make sure that iCloud keychain has not been somehow inadvertently enabled?
