TS1544 Recently changed log-in password having forgotten previous - cannot unlock local items keychain - no password.

Have tried to reset default keychain - 'specified keychain could not be found' so not possible. Any help please? System OSX 10.9.4 using Mavericks.

Most now works although Mail is still jammed. Getting lots of requests for keychain access password either for my name or local or login : mostly - mail/safari/com.appleinternetacct/calendar.agent/address.book and principally Mail requests.
How does one prevent the incessant demands for keychain access? It never happened previously except rarely ...
The keychain issue appears to have affected the Mail service and the computer has slowed with plenty of spinning disc time. Have run virus scan (Sophos) and verified disc no issues.
Thanks
Paul

HT203897 Change the password on the Local Items keychain

I just came across this article: HT203897: OS X Mavericks v10.9.1: Repeated prompts to unlock "Local Items" keychain
as I was experiencing the same issue after a reboot of 10.10.2 (fully patched with Sophos AV and all apps patched to current levels). It turns out the the Local Items keychain it too stupid to detect a password change to the Login keychain and causes this issue. What's worse is that I can't update the keychain password to match. I have a lot of password and don't feel like re-entering each one again.
Does anyone know of a way to change a keychain password from Terminal? Thanks

FYI, I stumbled across an article by a colleague, the great MacMule, who discusses this issue and shows how the security command can normally be used to change a keychain password as such
$ security set-keychain-password
But the local items keychain is not a normal keychain as shown here
$ ls -lah ~/Library/Keychains/

As you may notice, the Local Items keychain is a directory and not a .keychain file so this utility will not work.

I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail. When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open. How do I fix this problem?

I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail. I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK. I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open. Need help on how to fix this problem. I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
Hope this helps.

Cannot change "Local Items" keychain password, menu is greyed out

I have a Macosx linked to ActiveDirectory. Recently I had to change my AD password, which went fine, apart from the "Local Items" keychain. This keychain kept the old password.
So everytime I login I get a few popups for different applications requesting the password for "Local Items". I have to enter the old password a number of times.
If I go into Keychain Access, I can unlock this keychain. But I can't reset the password because the menu Edition \ Modify the password is greyed out.
Does anybody know how I can change this password?
iCloud is disabled on this iMac, and Repairing the keychain didn't find any problem.

This is an easy fix. i called apple and they fixed it. Go to finder, then GO tab and click the option near command on keyboard and a link library will pop up in list and then click library, scroll to find keychain and put it on your desktop and restart computer. You only have to log in one time and then delete keychain off desktop. something happened w maverick and it corrupted the file.

I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone).

I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
Step 3
Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
You can then close the folder.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

After upgrading to OS X Yosemite, I keep getting popups asking for my "Local Items" keychain for cloudd, calendar, messenger and on and on...and then it wants me to change my password, only won't accept it when I do.

Select the iCloud keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password.

when prompted, not Delete References & Files.

Cannot change or delete local items keychain

Hopefully someone here can help me.
I forgot my main password to get into my MacBook Pro. I'm running Mavericks. I did the restart/holding down option key. I used terminal to get in to change the password. However, the Local Items keychain has remained locked. When I try to delete it from the file menu in Keychain Access, that option is grayed out. I have no idea what the keychain password could be for Local Items. I tried to create a new keychain for Local Items, thinking it would then allow me to delete the old one. That did not work. I tried reboot. I tried rebooting and changing the main password again. The apple technician on help chat told me that rebooting and changing the main password would fix everything, but it didn't.
Now I can't access e-mail. For some reason my Office for Mac programs won't run at all.

Follow these steps
Resolution
Note: This article is about the "Local Items" keychain, not the "Login" keychain. Please see this article for issues with "Login" keychain password.
Follow these steps to prevent prompts to unlock the Local Items keychain.
In Finder Select Go > Go to folder… (⇧⌘G)
In the window that appears, type the following:~/Library/Keychains/
Click OK.
Look for a folder with a name similar to this "A8F5E7B8-CEC1-4479-A7DF-F23CB076C8B8".
Note: Each folder has a unique number.
Move this folder to the Trash.
Immediately choose Apple Menu () > Restart… to restart your Mac.
After restarting the computer, a new folder is created in the Keychains folder with a name similar to "4B29A0BB-599D-47FC-A2D1-42B5592B130B". There is no need to repeat the steps in this article, or to delete this folder. The new folder is expected and corrects the symptom described in this article.

OS X Mavericks v10.9.1: Repeated prompts to unlock "Local Items" keychain

HT204085 What is "local items"keychain and its password, how can i reset the password if i forgot the password

What is "local items"keychain and its pasword. how can i reset the password if i forget the password?

I just fixed the same problem. Here's what to do.
Click on the finder, then scroll across to the GO on the top menu bar, but also hold down the option or alt key while you do this.
scroll down the go menu to library and highlight library.
the library folder will open
go to the keychains folder and open it
in the keychains folder, then click and drag the blue folder that has all the letters and numbers for a title like "A2CEEE274-....."
drag this folder to the desktop
now restart your machine
when the machine restarts, you should see the keychains folder still open with a new folder in it that looks just like the one you dragged out onto the desktop
throw the one on the desktop out in the trash
You just reset the keychain folder so the new mavericks update could recognize it correctly, by the way apple customer support mentioned the reason this was happening was due to the update, and this is the standard fix. The apple keychain access pw should be your apple id or logon password.
Good luck!!!

I recently changed my ipad password and I cant remember it. What can I do?

I recently changed my password on my ipad and I can't remember it. How do I reset my password on my ipad?

If you have backed up your iPad previously, you won't. If you haven't, you may be out of luck. Also, if you have the pictures on your computer, you can always re-sync them back to your iPad.
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
Oh and, take a little notebook and everytime you change ANY password on any device, jot it down, and store the notebook in a safe place. This way, something like this won't ever happen to you again.

How to change log in password

i don't remember creating a log in password. I know my security password for the screen saver and my apple id... but it doesn't give me an option for even a hint or to use my apple id to bypass. All I'm trying to do is download netflix. So annoying....

Check your account at https://appleid.apple.com. Go into Password and Security, answer your security questions and then you can chenge your password. Also, if this dosen't work, try calling up Apple Support. They readily fix such issues.
