Trying to delete wifi certificate in Keychain Access; continually crashes

Every time I try to delete my wifi certificate in Keychain Access, it continually crashes.  Tried it in safe mode, still crashes. I cannot get my Airport extreme 5th gen to pass along an IP address to my Mac even though mac is connected to AE (seen via Network Utility). Thought that deleting keychain password would help.

Launch the Console 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Keychain access keeps crashing while trying to import a new certificate

    I have been having trouble with trying to import a certificate to my Macbook Pro but everytime I go to Import the certificate via: File --> Import... Keychain access keeps crashing on me. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
    Here is the link to where I have uploaded the error report: http://www.filedropper.com/keychainaccesserrorreport

    Hi Moving Art,
    Please provide the exact version of Premiere Pro CC that you are using, you can check this by going to Premiere Pro menu. Also, this type of crash might be because of the Graphics display drivers. So, please check the Graphics Card installed on your MAC and the version of the MAC that you are using.

  • Deleting certificates in Keychain Access???

    I noticed in my Keychain Acess that I have a slew of certificates which (1) I'm not sure what their purpose really serves and (2) there's a ton of them with names I don't recognize and draws my suspicion.
    What purpose do these certificates serve and what would happen if I deleted them?
    And just to clarify: I'm not talking about my passwords, etc. in Keychain Access. I'm specifically referring to Certificates which I find by clicking on: System Roots and Certificates.
    Thanks for any help.

    If you delete a certificate, the source that gave you the certificate will just offer another one when you authenticate. Certificates are just a way for encrypted connections to establish identity between a client and server. The server will digitally sign a certificate that contains a public key as well as some personal information that's used by the service you're connecting to. Certificates are provided by the service, and can have expiration dates and such.
    Cookies are similar in ways, but they arent as versatile and secure. They're generally used to let your browser keep track of when you last visited a site, perhaps contain a password for the site, and other user settings for a site. Certificates are mainly used for authorizing access to a service.

  • Delete System Application in Keychain Access

    When I go to my Keychain, I can see a bunch of old networks I used to connect to, but that I don't use anymore (old neighbour, old boyfriend, etc.). They appear under "System" and while selecting the "all items" category. I can select the old network, "right" click on it and press delete, but the following appears "Could not write to the file. It may have been opened with insufficient access privileges."
    I don't understand, because I unlocked the padlock on the upper left corner... What can I do to get rid of those old networks?
    Thanks.

    Did you unlock the keychain before trying to delete the keys?

  • Mail automatically adds certificates to Keychain Access. How to disable?

    Is there a way to tell Mail not to automatically store certificates from digitally signed emails (in this case, using Verisign) in Keychain Access?
    The problem is this:
    When the old certificate expires from someone else, I create a new one, and have them send a signed email to my address. Mail then automatically adds the new certificate to my Keychain Access. I then go into Keychain Access and delete the old certificate, so that I can send secure and encrypted messages to them. However, if I go back to one of their saved OLD emails, it automatically adds the old certificate back to my Keychain Access. And when I go to create a new email to them, it often will use that old certificate, which no longer works for them.
    I am looking for a way to better manage this or find out what others are doing out there with the same problem.
    Keychain should have an "archive" section to put old certificates into. These then can be referenced to open old secure and encrypted messages, but not allowed to be used for sending new email.

    Additionally, lets say something happens to your certificate and you need to download it again. In this case, from Verisign. A problem I have run into is when I go to Verisign, I am presented with the option of re-downloading my certificate. If I do this, there is no way on the Mac system that you specify this re-downloaded is your certificate. So I have to download a new certificate and then re-add my certificate to the rest of the employees and get theirs.
    There needs to be an option to select "This is my certificate". Very much like in AddressBook, how you can specify different VCards as your own.

  • Keychain Access is crashing my system

    I'm having a problem, the root of which I believe is Keychain Access.app. Not exactly sure when it started happening. I'm on a Dual 2.5 G5 PowerMac, 4GB RAM, 250GB HD, OS 10.4.10.
    Here's the progression of events:
    If I update an app that has passwords stored in my keychain (any app, Apple or 3rd party), the next time I open that app I'm greeted with the following message:
    Appname has been updated. Do you want to allow the new version to access the same keychain items (such as passwords) as the previous version?
    This change is permanent and affects all keychain items used by Appname.
    Don't Change/Change All
    If I click Change All the system pauses for a few moments and I get a message saying:
    Your startup disk is almost full.
    You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting files.
    ? Do not warn me about this disk again.
    And if I Get Info on my hard drive I can see that it has 138.37 GB available, which is correct.
    The system continues to act wonky until I restart. For example, I can't empty the trash because I do not have enough permissions. Any applications that require Keychain Access.app for passwords can't access their passwords. I can't even unlock the system prefs after this happens, it just hangs when I click the lock icon. Upon opening Keychain Access.app after the events described above (but before restarting) all of my keychains are missing! They come back after I restart. Before I restart, if I try to Fast User Switch to a different account, the system turns the screen-cube, but it never brings up a user list; instead it sits at a blue screen until I do a hard shutdown.
    This happens every single time an app wants to update my keychain, without fail. I've tried running Keychain First Aid, Disk First Aid, and fsck (in single user mode). I've repaired the permissions. I've installed system updates (10.4.10) since this started happening. I made a new user and opened an app that requires keychain to update, and I ran into the exact same problems.
    How can I fix this without resorting to Archive and Install? (Please don't just tell me to install Leopard---I'm going to do this eventually, and hopefully it will fix my problem, but I'm quite busy for the next few weeks and I can't take time enough away from my projects to do this.)

    Yep, tried that too.
    I don't have time to reinstall anything that might break in the Archive and Install process. Even if it's not likely that anything will break, I don't want to risk it. This computer is also currently being used to backup multiple TBs of data over the network. Guess I'll just A&I Leopard in a couple weeks.

  • Certificate in keychain access problem

    I have obtained three certificates I have to use to access my corporate exchange server and imported them into the login keychain as directed. They do show up in the "certificates" category of the login keychain but not in the "my certificates" category. This is the category that Entourage looks for when allowing me to select a certificate. As a result, I can't select the certificate I need. Any ideas?

    hi,
    you must import the /system/library/keychain/x509anchors first to your keychain app.
    then use #sudo certtool i zetifikat.cer v k=/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors to import it to .../x509anchors. (zertifikat.cer ist your certifikate name) import your certificate (in pem-format) to your keychain. if not in pem-format convert it with ms cert manager (in the office folder of the office app). apply alway trust to the certifikate in keychain.
    cheers

  • Exporting auto-created SSL Certificate using Keychain Access

    Whenever I try, I get:
    "An error has occurred. Unable to export item.
    You fail to provide the necessary administrator authorization."
    Can it be done?

    Got the same problem. It's a mystery to me as well. Happens both at my SL server 10.6.2 at home and at work. I have no idea what is wrong except that it might forget to prompt me. It also doesn't work if I unlock the certificate keychain first.

  • Trouble with login password in Keychain Access

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my "Login Password" seems to have changed. Not my account password, thankfully, but the Keychain Access Login Password that enables me to access my Login Keychain. I certainly did not change it, but the password I used in 10.5.8 doesn't work anymore. This has actually happened on two different machines
    I tried the 'First Aid' function in Keychain Access and got this error message:
    Checked password for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
    *Password for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain is not the same as login password*, so keychain can't be unlocked automatically
    Login password could not be synchronized with keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (-128)
    Unable to read settings for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
    Okay, so how can the Password for the Login Keychain be different from the, uh, Login Password?!?!
    Is there any way to reset a Login Password, or do I just have to start a new one from scratch (really don't want to have to do that)?

    the password for any keychain can be set to anything you want. by default the password for you login keychain is set to be the same as you account password but that's done just for your convenience so that it can be unlocked automatically when you log in. those passwords are completely independent otherwise. changing one has no effect on the other. that said, unless you changed the account password or the keychain password yourself what you are seeing should not be happening.
    did you change your account password? if not your keychain could be corrupt.
    in Keychain Access is your login keychain locked? if it is select it and click on the lock above. if the keychain works ok it should ask you for the keychain password to unlock it. does it work?

  • Cant sign into icloud and keychain access crashes on opening

    I have recently experienced very frustrating glitches in my iMac's operability (2011 model, 1TB hard disk and recent upgrade to 12GB RAM to overcome very slow running).  The machine runs OSx 10.9.5.  I cannot sign into iCloud on this machine (although my iPan and iPhone both work) and every time I open Keychain access it crashes.  Sorry to post 2 issues in one thread, but I have never experienced these before and wonder if  they are  related?

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.keychainaccess.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • ICloud keychain access password

    Hi guys,
    Safari is saving passwords both on my iphone and my mac – this iCloud Keychain does work. Cool.
    Then design of the website is changing and whatnot and Safari stops entering password for me.
    I go to the Keychain Access and trying to see the password.
    Keychain Access is asking me for the password for "Local Items" ... hm... ok.
    Local admin password does not work, my iCloud password does not work.. what password shall I use to see items stored in my iCloud keychain?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hey there keloin,
    It sounds like you are wanting to see what Safari passwords your iCloud Keychain. You should be able to do this in the Safari preferences:
    How do I view the passwords stored in my iCloud keychain?
    Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
    Choose Safari > Preferences, then click Passwords.
    Select the website whose password you want to view.
    Select the “Show passwords for selected websites” checkbox.
    Enter your system password.

  • Tried to delete an email and got message "The folder Trash is full, and can't hold any more messages. To make room . . . . " but the trash folders are empty!

    Trash folder is empty.
    Same problem trying to delete messages from 'sent' folder
    Problem continues after computer restart.

    Compact your folders. Deleting a message marks it for deletion and hides it. The disk space is not freed up until folders are compacted.
    Using the Compact command under File does all floders. You can right clcik a folder and select Compact to do just that folder.
    Compacting is a normal maintenance item and should be donr regularly.

  • Reset Keychain access

    For some reason, keychain access now crashes after I changed the preference. Is it possible to reset everything in keychain without openning the app?
    Thanks

    Oh, and I remember that there was a system update and restarted the computer. When I turned it on again, the keycahin access won't open. Could it be because of the system updates and not what i did in the preference?
