Why do I keep having to enter my Apple password when I already added it to the keychain?

This seems to happen at every opportunity for a password request - new device adds an email account, making a purchase (free or paid) on the App Store, logging in to the Apple website, doing just about anything with iCloud.  I have a very complex password for my own security, it is not one that I can actually remember so have to refer to it from paper every time, I added it to the keychain so that I wouldn't have to do this but it still asks every time, so what is the point of keychain?  I should not have to compromise my security by having a dumbed-down password, and I should not have to enter it on any of my devices once it is stored in the keychain in iCloud (all of my devices are password protected once the screen locks and to log in).
Please advise - am I doing something wrong?
This happens on my iMac, my iPad, my MacBook, in iOS, Mac OS, and in Firefox and Safari.
PS..  I am aware that Firefox does not integrate with keychain, it is mainly the apparent lack of integration from the OS and App Store that really confuses and annoys me.

version 7 is over 4 years old.....if you bought it used, the codes I don't think are valid. If they are "new" and unopened....I'm betting your not going to get any support.
What tier is it? EDU, PRO, Power PRO?
Considering the current version is 10.0....my guess is your going to be required to upgraded to the latest version.
That would be my guess

  • Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

    Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

    Likely because one of the servers (the incoming or outgoing) needs authentication before you can receive or send messages.

    Hello Bo.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

    Why do I keep having macster pop ups?

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
    Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

  • Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?

    Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?
    Once it searches for photos containing (insert name) and says "(insert name) maybe found in 1,750 photos". I click to confirm the said person and it highlights the photos already found in that persons "folder", which already contains 662 photos AND it does not show any of the unconfirmed photos. However, it told me that it found 1,750 photos....where are the missing unconfirmed pictures for me to tag? I have already rebuilt my thumbnails (which already took 3 days to do as I have MANY photos).

    You are running Firefox 34, the most recent version is 35.0.1. If you are having trouble updating, please try downloading the most recent version from www.getfirefox.com and installing it over your existing version. It will save your information but update Firefox to the newest version.

  • I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and now I can't keep the wifi connection to stay on. I have to keep entering my wifi password when the phone goes to sleep. How do I keep the wifi connection when I wake up the phone?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and I can't keep the wifi connection when the phone goes to sleep. I need to keep entering my wifi password when I wake up the phone. How do I keep the wifi on each time I walk into my house without reentering my password?

    What? Do you work for Apple?
    I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it.

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • I keep getting a blue screen prompt "to enter my Cisco Password" when i start up safari?

    I keep getting a blue screen prompt to "enter my Cisco Password" when I start up Safari. Does anyone know why this would be coming up?. The only way for me to get by this message and get on-line is to shut down my computer and re-boot. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Dog,
    This has only started coming up since I downloaded a program called Geneio, not sure if that could be the cause. It was **** trying to get rid of that program. NEVER load that program on your Mac. It suppose to be a news update program that flashes up. Never again!
    In that case you should review The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide : Genieo.

    I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini.  While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes.   What is going on?

    Network errors can cause the password dialog.
    The correct answer to a Mail.app password dialog is almost always cancel, too.

    In addition to activating, you also need to sign in with your Adobe ID. Have you done that as well?
