Whenever I open an application or go to safari a box pops up asking for keychain login. I have been to apple store twice and both times, they said they fixed it but it still keeps popping up. I bought a refurbished macrpro two weeks ago. Help!
Whenever I open an application or go to safari, a box pops up asking for my keychain login. I have taken it to the apple store two different times, and each time the techs have assured me they fixed it. I have only had the computer for two weeks and it is totally irritating. I bought it refurbished, and I am wondering if this has anything to do with it. Please help!
I've done some experimenting, and this is what I've found out:
1) The problem persists when I reformatted the USB HDD devices to ExFAT, so the problem apparently wasn't due to NTFS for Mac OS X by Paragon.
2) The problem persists even when BackBlaze is paused, so I don't think that it's due to BackBlaze.
3) The internet cuts out as soon as data begins transferring either to or from a USB HDD device and won't reconnected until I eject and unplug the device.
4) The problem affects data transfers through either USB port.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?

On my iPad mini, my inbox number count is over 500 even though the inbox. Is empty. All accounts do this on my iPad but all my other device are fine. Problem showed up two weeks ago???
Hi Peter,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the Mail app on your iPad mini is showing that you have over 500 unread email messages, but your inbox is actually empty.
There are several steps I'd use to troubleshoot this situation.
First, restart your iPad to see if it clears up the symtom:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
If this doesn't correct the behavior, try removing and re-adding the affected email accounts next:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
If the same thing happens after re-adding the account, you may need to use the steps below to reinstall iOS. You may want to back up your iPad to iTunes before completing this step.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

All the best,

My "What's happening today?" status keeps changing to something I set it to two weeks ago.
At work we use Microsoft Lync 2013. I have used the "What's happening today" status line in the Lync client so people can keep updated on things from me when I am away from desk. Two weeks ago I was busy moving IT equipment into another
building, so I had in my status bar a little blurb about equipment moves.
Now off an on for the last two weeks, my "What's happening today" keeps reverting back to that blurb about equipment moves. I'll change it by either blanking it out, putting in a different status like "Spring is here finally!" and
guess what? In due time it reverts back to the old status from 2 weeks ago.
I rebooted my PC and still it seems to be an issue. I am not sure if other people see this status when it reverts back or not, but next time I will log in with a test account from my laptop and see how I appear in the contact list.

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money.. -
I have this pop out and asking for my certificate of proof of ID and without it I cannot access an airline website to complete redemption points.
How do I switch this off??Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

I bought this iMac about two weeks ago...
replacing an old G5 PowerMac running Tiger. It came preloaded with Lion. I'm very unhappy with Lion's performance and, short of trying to get a refund for this iMac, I'd like to reload a "stable" version of OSX. Is this possible? I have no install discs. This is interesting to me because the G5 came with one: this one came with only a tiny keyboard and a tempermental mouse, where only a few of the functions it's touted to possess actually work.
This iMac has 12 Gigs of RAM (three times the RAM on the G5) and 512 Megs of video memory (again, more than the old one) still the performance is markedly less than the PowerPC. My old Tiger runs circles around this so-called "Lion". I don't know what's going on with Apple but after dropping $1,600. on this iMac, I want better performance. This computer is used for very basic web surfing, email and photo manipulation. No Autocad or anything that would bog it down.
2.7 Gig Core i5, Radeon HD 6770M 512 Megs. OSX Lion 10.7.2
Any help is appreciated. Be well.

Take it back. asap. It should be running flawlessly from the store. If you don't like Lion, it will be difficult to change back to SL on a brand new iMac, but good luck. -

I forgot the password to my Mac, so I reset my password, and ever since then, there have been popups asking for my "login" keychain password. I enter it every time, but they still pop up. Also, my Mail keeps asking for the password to my email, and iMessage is on, but I can't receive any messages, and the window won't even pop up.
Does anyone know the solution for this?Go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.
