Unable to open keychain access app

Having gone through Finder-Applications-Utilities-Keychain Access app, the result is a Problem report for Keychain Access, namely :-
"Keychain Access cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Keychain Access works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."

Can anyone help me resolve this problem, please?

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 and start typing the name.
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.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch Keychain Access. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

After lion istallation i can't open Keychain Access, after lion istallation i can't open Keychain Access

after then i istall lion ,if i open Keychain Access ,dont open it and i read this message" i can't open Keychain Access for a problem"
for mi this is a big problem i can't lost every my keys
help me please

OK, let's try this...
Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up in Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup because it runs a directory check.)
If your Keychain functions correctly that way, go to Keychain menu and "Rebuild Keychain. If not go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
* Again, Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library"

You should really read the manual. Click Support at the top fo this page, then click Manuals.
You should be syncing to your computer regularly. Your game data is backed up when you sync.
First try a restart. This eraes nothing.
If that does not solve, then try a reset. This erases nothing.
If this fails then try a restore

Keychain access app

Hi- I've just begun using "keychain" to assist me with strong passwords (using mountain lion)... is the "keychain access.app" still available on the local drive (applications/utilities) or has this functionality been moved out to a cloud? Is the cloud necessary (or connected to) if I don't need it to sync with other devices?

See the applescript I posted at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2776538&#2776538 for a solution.

Open Keychain Access... shortcut don't work

What have I done wrong? Should this not work?

I think I finally solved my problem, and the solution is related to the first one I suggested, but goes another step. If you are no longer having the problem, ignore this step. But in my case, I changed the lock settings and sleep settings and it still did not solve my problem.
What DID solve the problem was a series of somewhat illogical steps, as follows:
Open Keychain Access
under Edit menu select Keychain List
you will see a list of the keychains recognized by Keychain Access. If you are using any keychains other than login and System, make sure they show there. If not, use the "+" button to add the missing one. This should open to your Keychain folder (which is within your user Library.) Double-click to add a missing keychain (iCloud keychain does not show up there, so don't look for it.)
I took the login keychain and clicked on Shared. This 'disappeared' it from the list.
I then ran Keychain First Aid and it said settings for login keychains might cause problems because (they had re-set themselves to) "lock on sleep" and "lock in five minutes" were turned on again. First Aid fixed this by itself.
Then I went to my library->Keychains folder and double-clicked the login keychain, which then reappeared in the left hand panel of Keychain Access. You probably can do this just by going back to the Edit Keychain window and clicking the "+" (no need to poke around in the Keychains folder, which can be hard to find if you haven't told OS X to make your library visible. I went back to the Keychain List, and turned off Shared. Ran Keychain First Aid one more time. It has been an hour blessedly free of irritating requests for my keychain password.

Try downloading any free app (you can delete it later). This will re-authorize the iTunes account on your phone and will often fix this issue.

Mac KeyChain Access App Hangs when NOT connected to WiFi

Hi,
I am facing a problem with Keychain Access hanging and wifi connection in OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks).
I use a Time Capsule as a base station and 13" Macbook Air (2012). The base station is connected to the internet through a PPOE connection.
Here are the details.
Since upgrading to OS X 10.9.1, my Mac automatically connects to preferred wifi network ONLY WHEN the wifi is available at start up or when the Mac wakes up from sleep, but not otherwise.
Before the upgrade, the Mac automatically connected to the preferred wifi network not just at start up, but whenever the wifi became available.
In other words, after the upgrade, if I boot up the Time Capsule base station and the Mac simultaneously, the Mac scans for the base station wifi network (this is configured as the top preferred wifi network) at start up, but since the base staion is still booting up, the Mac doesn't find the wifi.
But once the base station has booted up and wifi is available, the Mac no longer bothers to join it.
At this point, if I click on the Keychain Access application, IT HANGS (I see a rainbow-colored rotating disc/ball). And it continues to hang UNLESS I do ONE of the following to get the Mac connected to the wifi.
1. I manually select the preferred wifi network using the wifi icon at the top of the screen; OR
2. I put the Mac to sleep (by closing the cover) and then wake it up. On wake up, it connects automatically to the preferred wifi network; OR
3. I turn off the wifi (using the wifi icon on the top) and turn it back on, at which point, the Mac automatically connects to the preferred wifi network.
As soon as the Mac gets connected to the WiFi, the Keychain Access application STOPS hanging and open up normally.
I also noticed that Keychain Access DOESN'T HANG (even if the Mac is not connected to the wifi), if I do the following:
1. Go to Network preferences;
2. Uncheck "Ask to join new networks";
3. Click on the "Advanced" button, select wifi tab, and remove all preferred wifi networks and uncheck "Remember networks this computer has joined".
I obviously want to set preferred wif networks, so the above workaround to avoid Keychain Access hanging is not acceptable.
I have tried everything possible including contacting Apple support, but so far the issue is still unresolved.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

There was a hotfix for this put out just after V25.
Unfortunetly you have to rebuild your viewer and submit and update to Apple. From my experience they were very quick about approving the update because of the critical nature of the update even without putting in an expediated review request, but that was over a month ago.

PSE 9.0 unable to open organizer. App error (0xc0000005)

This problem began a few days ago. When I try to open the organizer I get the error message. I can open the editor and have tried to open the organizer from the editor with no luck. I have read alot of posts online from alot of others with the same issues, however there doesn't seem to be any clear answers. Any ideas?

Hi Mary Jane,
Yes, the fact that you have Premiere Elements as well does make a difference. Both Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements use the same organizer. If you only uninstall one of the two, the organizer remains and is not removed until you uninstall the second product.
The easiest way to uninstall the products is via the Windows 7 Control Panel.-> Programs -> Uninstall Programs = Programs and Features.
Right click on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and select uninstall - follow the prompts to complete the uninstall
Right click on Adobe Premiere Elements 9 and select Uninstall - follow the prompts to complete the uninstall
Now insert your media, click on the install button for elements and follow the prompts.
Repeat for Premiere Elements.
Regarding your Windows updates, the optional ones can sometimes be important - some are security patches for IE11 (if you use that). Sometimes they are video driver updates which can affect your display.
I hope that helps. I'm afraid that I'm about to go off the air. My system needs a reload because of the patches and I live in the UK and it is getting late. My brain needs a rest. I will catch up with you tomorrow.
Good luck.
Brian

5800 music player unable to open after updated app...

Hi,
I just updated my nokia music player application today via application update. After I updated and restarted it, I tried to open this application but it didn't respond at all (it tried to pop up a new page but then it returned to whatever page I was before) Then, I went to application manager and deleted the metadatautility cenrep ini file because I thought that was the cause from reading the other threads but nothing has changed.
I was able to play the music through the ringtones but not the music player itself.
My phone software version is 31.2.101
Thank you so much for helping! Any answer is appreciated.

any difference if mmc is removed?
check for firmware update with ovisuite/nsu or through fota and if available update it to latest version available.
If this thia doesn't solve youe problem, backup your datas,
Reset phone to factory setting(phone management),
remove memory card,
Remove phone lock code if already set
Open phone dialer,
Type *#7370#
Lock code is 12345 if not changed
Give a soft reset

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.
