Why does a Login Error occur: "AFP Client wants to use Keychain Login"?

I have three people in my house with separate logins. We are currently using two desktop G4s which are networked via 1000 Base T. When the users login to one of the Macs, they must enter their passwords twice. Once for the AppleShare login and then a second time for the KeyChain Login.
If I attempt to unify the passwords, which are exactly the same, I will get a login error: "AFP Client wants to use Keychain Login". At this point, a dialogue box will appear looking for a password, but not accepting any kind of text at all. All I can do is reset the Mac, go into my admin login and remove the login.keychain file from the local Library folder to get back into the User account.
In my attempts to fix this, I have removed every preference file with the word "login" in it and re-logged in without success. I have also used the Keychain Access software to administer Keychain First Aid without success. Finally, I have deleted the keychain login in Keychain Access without success. I have done all of these separately and together without success.
This is only happening on one Mac. The Mac that has no files on it. All working files are stored on the other Mac and it does not have the same problem at all.
This is not a huge problem, but it is annoying. I would appreciate it if anybody knows anything about this and could shine some light on the situation.

Sorry about the delay from your last reply. I have been busy with work and studying for a licensing exam.
Anyway I tried the AppleJack Utility you suggested. It looked like it tidied up some things. But as for my particular issue, it did absolutely nothing.
Interestingly enough, you know when you aren't looking for something and that something just happens by accident? When I logged in the other day, I typed in the first login. The second dialogue came up immediately and I hit the cancel button instead of the OK button. When I was passed on to the Finder, the second login dialogue came up again. I typed in the password this time and checked the checkbox. When I relogged in, the problem vanished. I only waited this long to let you know to make sure the problem is gone and it is. I wish I would have thought of selecting the cancel button before. Sometimes solutions are simple like this one.
Thanks for your help.

    why does an unknown error occur when I try to save a document as a Word file?

    Hi Judy,
    Deleting the Preferences files seems to be missing from your list.
    Quit AppleWorks,
    In the Finder, go to:
    username > Library > Preferences
    In the Preferences folder:
    Locate and Delete the File com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Locate and Open the Folder AppleWorks
    In the AppleWorks folder, delete the following files:
    AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
    AppleWorks 6 Preferences
    AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
    Optional:
    AppleWorks Button Bars
    This file contains your Button Bar preferences. If you have made changes to the Button Bar, but hanve NO issues that can be traced to the Button Bar, it may be left in place.

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click History button, and then Clear Recent History... .
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep playing music randomly? And why does it keep stopping when I actually want to use it?

    I keep trying to play music and it just randomly stops, and when I don't want to play music it randomly starts playing! Why is this? Is this because of iOS 7? or is it because of the phone itself?

    Try to do a reset. Hold down on the Hold and Home keys for about 10 seconds until the  shows.
    If that doesn't work, you should try to do a restore. A restore re-installs the operating system. Plug your phone in and go to the phone preferences screen in iTunes. There is a restore option. After restore iTunes gives you an option to restore from backup or use as a new phone. I would first try to see if the problem vanishes if you do the restore from backup option. If the problem still exist, you might want to restore again and opt for the use as a new phone. This is because maybe a file in the backup is corrupt and you cannot use the backup. This means all of your saved texts, photos, settings, etc will be gone. You can resync most of the data back if you have them on your computer (not your text messages though). So think twice before restoring as a new phone. Also, there is a risk that restoring won't resolve your issue so think twice. I can tell you that I have everything on my computer and I can get most of the data back even if I restore as a new phone but everyone is different.

  • TS3833 I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

  • HT201210 why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s

    why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s??

    You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

  • Decrypt errors occurred for client

    I am getting error messages for clients:

    12 Mon Jun 14 09:11:56 2010 Decrypt errors occurred for client 00:16:6f:91:d8:60 using WPA2 key on 802.11b/g interface of AP 00:16:9c:91:97:c0
    These are only occuring for clients that are disconnecting....
    They can reconnect after a WLC reboot....
    We have swapped APs.....
    I have seen this error in other forums but it says not to worry about it. There has to be a connection between this and clients getting disconnected. We have anywhere between 10-50 clients on the system at any one time.
    Is this a client issue (nic firmware, version) or is this an error in  the controller??
    AIR-WLC2106-K9
    IOS ver: 6.0.196.0
    Thanks

    This means that the client is using a different key than the one he agreed on using with the AP. There were bugs about this long time ago but nothing recent.
    I've seen this happening a lot with old/not updated clients. It rarely happens on intel adapters with latest drivers for example.
    So I'd suggest checking the client pattern (are the clients facing this all having old wireless drivers ?).
    It can also happen if you offer funny encryption combinations that client doesn't like (wpa1+aes, wpa2+tkip). Try to only enable wpa2/aes and see if it helps.

    why does an unknown  error (-42110) appear when i try to play a rental movie that has downloaded already?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)

  • Safari wants to use the "login" keychain. -- Why can't Safari remember???

    When I launch the Safari application, I get a dialogue box with a message indicating the following:
    Safari wants to use the "login" keychain.
    Please enter the keychain password.
    Password:
    Cancel -- OK
    When I get this dialogue box, I enter the login keychain password in the Password text box, and I click the OK button. Then, Safari proceeds as normal. This is extremely annoying, because it happens almost every time that I launch Safari.
    This only started to happen after I upgraded on Monday to Mac OS X Leopard version 10.5. During the Leopard upgrade, I had problems with the keychain passwords, and so I then upgraded again with the new "Login and Keychain Update 1.0". But, the problems with Safari forgetting the login keychain password continue.
    The strange thing is that there is NO option in the dialogue box to indicate that Safari should REMEMBER the password. The option does NOT exist, so I can NOT click the Remember box.
    I also went into the Keychain Access utility and double-checked and confirmed that my First Aid preferences were properly CHECKED for "Synchronize login keychain password with account" and also "Keep login keychain unlocked". Both of these preferences options are checked. So, I can't understand why Safari cannot remember the login keychain password?
    I have this exact same problem with the Mail application, as well.
    And, it looks like many many people are having the same problem -- See the following link to related discussions:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5679135&#5679135
    Can anyone please help? -- When is Apple going to release a fix for this problem? -- Has anyone received any kind of acknowledgement from Apple that they are aware of this problem and that they intend to fix it?
    Please help !!!

    I had the same experience and found a solution.
    After the upgrade, I had a login keychain (the default) and my original username keychain. Both are in the chain of keychains, but since it has a choice, Mail keeps asking you to confirm.
    I moved all the entries out of username into login, deleted username, and all is well.
    Note that Keychain asks for your password on EACH ITEM that it moves, which can be tedious. So I changed the keychain password to a single character, just for the duration, then changed it back to something secure.
    If, on the other hand, you don't have two keychains, then I can offer no suggestion.

    Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
    I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
