Why are there multiple keychain records for same email account?

I have noticed that it takes sometimes up to 45 seconds for Apple Mail to send (whoosh...) an email. Then I started getting an alert asking for my password intermittently.
I checked my KeyChain Access and note 5 records for this email account dating back to 2007 and while the password hasn't changed in all these years, I note the "Where" field is different in some of these records. So my uneducated hunch is Apple Mail is getting a little confused and having to go thru all 5 records insteads of just one.
As note multiple records for other email accounts and website logins I have.
1. Why is this happening?
2. Is it normal
3. Can I, should I, delete all but one for each item be it an email account or web login, etc.
or
Should I delete all 5 and let a brand new one be created for Keychain next time I send or get email for this particular email account?
I also see there is some info on keychain syncing. Does this have anything to do with my situation?
Thx,
Steven

I'm a little distracted with Steve's passing. He will be missed to say the least
But if it isn't too disrepectful to reply at this time, I'm unclear with your advise because there are 5 items all for the same email account. A couple are duplications, and the others have slightly different "Where" info.
I can't imagine I need all 5 and wonder if I should delete 4 and keep the newest one?
All my email accounts have multiple entries.
Anyone know why this is happening and if it's OK to delete the oldest ones and keep just the newest?

Newbie: why are there multiple process started?

Hi I have a simple question to ask...
Q1. Why are there multiple process for webserver instance and http-admserv for a default installed web server? Please refer below:
$ ps -ef | grep web
root 931 930 0 Jan 21 ? 0:00 webservd -r /opt/SUNWwbsvr -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-admserv/config -n https-adms
root 930 1 0 Jan 21 ? 0:00 ./webservd-wdog -r /opt/SUNWwbsvr -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-admserv/config -n htt
root 948 1 0 Jan 21 ? 0:00 ./webservd-wdog -r /opt/SUNWwbsvr -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-mta01.mydomain.com
root 932 931 0 Jan 21 ? 0:03 webservd -r /opt/SUNWwbsvr -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-admserv/config -n https-adms
root 949 948 0 Jan 21 ? 0:00 webservd -r /opt/SUNWwbsvr -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-mta01.mydomain.com/config
root 950 949 0 Jan 21 ? 42:09 webservd -r /opt/SUNWwbsvr -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-mta01.mydomain.com/config
jes 6203 5994 0 10:52:36 pts/2 0:00 grep web
I understand we need 1 watch dog for web server and 1 for admin server but why 2 process for "https-mta01.mydomain.com" and "https-admserv"?
Q2. This is in relation to Q1. If I need to turn on CA Agent for monitoring, which process should I monitor for web server instance and also for http-admserv?
Newbie.

Ans1) That is by design and default behavior. There is one watch-dog process and 2 webservd processes that get started by default. The first webservd is called primordial and the second child webservd is the one that actually serves all the HTTP requests.
Example:
# ptree 6898
6898 ./webservd-wdog -r /space/iws61sp2 ...
6899 webservd -r /space/iws61sp2 -d ..
6900 webservd -r /space/iws61sp2 -d ...
In this example, the pid 6898 is called the watchdog process,
6899 webservd process is called the primordial process
and the pid 6900 is called the child webservd process that actually serves all the HTTP requests.
Ans2) You would monitor the child webservd process.

Very excited about the new update - Thanks Apple for the keyboard update with new emojis! But why are there no ethnicity options for the families?

D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

Why Are There Multiple Instances Of Firefox Preparing To Access Internet According To Firewall Log When I'm Not Launching Them And Nothing Appeared On My Screen

I had closed Firefox after briefly running it and then tried to reopen it anew but got a message that said "Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
I logged off my computer, and later restarted. However, when I checked my Firewall log it showed that during the minute I had my computer on earlier there were about a dozen instances of "Firefox is preparing to access the internet" which were recorded just seconds apart.
I don't have the problem now -- restarting apparently took care of the issue -- but I don't understand why there were so many instances of Firefox preparing to access the internet when I was not clicking on it all those times, the one time I did I got a message that it already was running, and there were no tabs on my screen to reflect all those supposed instances.
Thanks for any insight that folks can offer.

Were that Firefox processes or plugin-container processes?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/What+is+plugin-container
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes", try to exclude the cookies in case you currently have selected this.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
Firefox will try to remove cookies created by plugins in case you clear the cookies and that can result in plugin-container processes getting created.

Why are there so few games for Mac OS X?

Yes, I do know the answer, because everybody writes software for Windows.
But aren't we at a point where times are changing? Many people exchange their PC's for a Mac nowadays, and the number of Linux (which is basically the same under the hood) is rapidly growing too. Those people like to play games too, don't they?
Does anyone see some light in the distance for companies porting their games to the Mac too?

Agreed. You have to remember everything is drive by economics in our capitalistic society so games are written for the OS that has largest market penetration and most likely to return huge profit and currently that is Windows. That is also why one of the most famous game programmers, John Carmack, just recently rewrote some of his games for iPhone/ipod touch and made quite a nice profit from his own account.
"Carmack said that there was a lot of "hand wringing" initially over the idea of spending the company's own money (there was no publisher to help fund development) on making games for the iPhone. Doom Resurrection, when it hit, was probably the most expensive game to develop for the iPhone, Carmack says.
"It did really well for us," he said. "It was Wolfenstein Classic that made the argument for iPhone development for me. We made quite a bit of money off of that."
http://kotaku.com/5397350/carmack-on-iphone-fallout-quake-live-and-elves-and-orc s
That is not to say that Mac's can't be used as game machines since Apple actually has a webpage dedicated exactly to this you can check out:
http://www.apple.com/games/hardware/
So in a nutshell to answer the OP question the reason you see fewer games on mac's is because it's not profitable. As you can see if there is no technical limitations writing games like Doom3 for iphone there is none for the mac.
I know I've personally not bought a macosx game since I also have a pc and use that for games so I'm not helping the business case for more games for mac. Vote with your pocket and go out and buy more mac only games if you want to see more for the mac.

Random question: Why are there multiple virtual consoles?

I'm very interested in every single detail of some things and that has spawned a random question.
Why do we have multiple virtual consoles(proper term?) ? i.e. if I am looking at my desktop I can simply hit ctrl-alt-f3 for example, and poof! I'm at a new login prompt.
What is/are the purpose(s) for this feature? Can someone name off some scenarios?
Thanks!

Why are there two separate packages for extra/zip and extra/unzip?

The package info for both indicate that they come from the same website. It seems strange and inconsistent with what is normally expected. For example, there are not separate packages for gzip and gunzip or bzip2 and bunzip2.

1. They are represented as distinct programs on the website.
2. They are developed independently, they even have different version numbers.
3. Although the binaries are very small, some people only need one of them. I never create zip files, but I have to unzip them often.
4. They seem to have different dependencies.

Why are there no advantech drivers for labview by ni ?

the advantech drivers do not integrate well in labview. The VIs provided by advantech are not direct equivalents and neither do they have the same features. I need some help on this.

Hi PC
I am using an Advantech PCI-1713 card and I was just wandering how your program is going because I am having difficulty with mine and was wandering if you would like to help each other out.
I am trying to measure 16 channels using one of there sample VI, I think it must be the same as your Multi Channel Interrupt VI you described in your message.
I have a question, how do you get it to save more than one cycle because mine is only saving one cycle and I do not know how to fix it.
For example if I enter COUNT = 100 then it will only save 100 samples. How did you get your VI to continue saving samples???? I also am using Cyclic.
I am new to DAQ and would like any help if possible
I have attached the Vi and an example o
f what I am getting.
Cheers mate

Why are there so many updates for Adobe Flash & Reader?

It seems like I am having to update at least once a week. This is very tedious. Also, $39 to chat with someone about my issue???

There aren't that many. For instance Adobe Reader XI had updates in January, February and May, only three this year.
What there are is a great many SCAMS from people who say they want you to update, and instead fill your computer with goodness knows what.
If you aren't sure whether you have been taken in by one of these, a good thing to do is to post a screen shot of the message telling you to update (don't try to reply with a screen shot in an email, it won't work).

Why Are There Multiples of My Podcasts?

I have subscribed to these podcasts, and lately, they've appeared to branch out into completely new sections. The artwork is gone and the artists go under "unknown artists", but the source appears to be the same, and whenever I download the latest episodes from that subscription, they go into that section.
Is this happening to anyone else? If so, what is the best course of action here?

You have't told us how whether you download these Podcasts directly on the iPod Touch or through iTunes.
Af you download them in iTunes and then Sync them with your iPod, look in iTunes Podcasts Library and make sure they really are downloaded. If there is a cloud icon with a downward pointing arrow in it to the right of the episode title, then it's not downloaded. Look at this screenshot:
At first glance, every episode shown above is downloaded onto my computer. However, that cloud icon tells me that those (cloud) episodes are not on my computer at all! To download an episode with a cloud, click on the cloud itself.
I don't have the Podcasts app on my ipod, so I'm not precisely sure how it works, but if you do have the app, I suggest you check it; is there a similar cloud icon next to the episode title, that indicates that the episode is not actually downloaded to your iPod?
If this is not your problem, tell us how you download these Podcasts (on iPod or through iTunes), and whether you play your Podcasts in the Music app or in the dedicated Podcasts app.

Why are there multiple drives in Disk Utility?

When using Disk Utility, why is each disk listed twice and what is the difference between the two? If I'm erasing a CD which one is better to use?

The top entry is the drive. Any partitions (volumes) are listed, indented, below it. To erase a CD-RW, select the drive.

Why are there so few genres for tv shows on the Apple TV?

Missing genres:
Classics
Independent
Documentaries
Family
Action and adventure (thriller)
Fantasy
Romance
Sci-Fi
Foreign
Sport
Music
Is it just that Apple's tv show collection is not large enough to match the genres?

Unfortunatly, the market for developing apps for mobile/tablet devices is much greater than the one for computers. Depending on what kind of applications you are looking for, you can find decent apps online that may not be available on the app store.

Why are there two AppleCare plans for a MBP "13? the $239 and the $249?

I just wanted to make sure about my hunch, I believe the $239 priced APP is for the "13 MBP while the $249 priced is for "15 MBPs?
I have a "13 MBP, and if these two types of APP cover the "13 MBP, it is obvious I would go for the cheaper one.

Panoy wrote:
I have a non-Retina "13 MBP, so I go with the $249 APP right?
Yes.

Also, is the $349 APP covers all Retina MBPs regardless of size?
Yes.
