Why does my iChat require a login keychain?

there's this thing that comes up whenever i try to login "messages can't log in to (my username) because your login ID or password is incorrect". It then prompts me to fill out a password. I have tried entering my apple ID, my actual computer password, as well as my old iChat password. There is also a box asking if i want to "remember this password in my keychain". None of the passwords that i try work though.

On your computer, OS X is set up to ask for the password when your iMac goes to sleep or the screensaver appears. To solve this, open System Preferences > Security & General > General, and untick "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins"

Why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

I'm getting this same problem. It seems random when it asks for the password, maybe every 3 or 4 days it'll ask when I plug it in at night. I've tried restoring from an older backup, which has not resolved the issue.

Why does my file requiring ActiveX cant run in my Apple computer?

Why does my file requiring an ActiveX cannot run in my Apple computer?

Active X is chiefly a Windows > Internet Explorer browser based function and there is no Internet Explorer for OS X.
The only way you can run this Active X script is install Windows into Apple's BootCamp dual boot partition solution or by running Windows in a virtual machine program in OS X itself.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

HT5824 Why does my iPhone require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud??????????????

Why does my iPhone 5 require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud???????

It depends on your upload speed which is normally very slow.
Subsequent backup should be a lot faster (incremental backup)

Why does each app require a separate activation if I am using the same cable subscription for each one?

Why does each Apple TV app that requires a cable subscription require separate activation/cable verification? I only have one cable subscription, so can the Apple TV just store my info and give me access to all of the app my cable subscription allows? At the very least apps from the same company should all activate at one (ABC and the Disney apps).

Currently each app is treated separately

RE: (HLS) Why does Verilog pointer requires two clocks to get updated??

In HLS (2015.2), I created a simple comparator circuit. The HLS C-simulation worked fine. The HLS C-function compares
8-bit integers received from an 8-bit data bus against a fixed array of 8-bit integers. If the first integer matches, a pointer is incremented, and the C-function will then look for the 2nd integer in the array. If the sequence of 8-bit integers on the data
bus matches the sequence of bytes in the stored array, a match is detected.
After observing a good C-simulation, I instantiated the HLS Verilog file code into the original manually generated top-level
chip Verilog code, and attempted a Modelsim simulation. It did not work!!
The HLS generated Verilog file has the ports below:
ap_clk
ap_rst
ap_start
ch(7:0) <--- This is the incoming 8-bit data bus.
ch_valid   <----   This is an input that indicates the ch(7:0) data bus has valid data.
ap_return <--- This is the match signal.
If ch_valid is HIGH, the comparator compares ch(7:0) data bus against the known internal fixed array of 8-bit integers. The
ch(7:0) data bus changes every ap_clk. The problem with the HLS verilog code is that two clock cycles are needed to update the pointer, which points to the next integer in the fixed array. For the HLS circuit to work properly, the ch(7:0) data bus can't change every clock-cycle. The ch(7:0) data bus needs to be stable for 2-clock cycles. The only reason I found this was
due to the ModelSim simulation. In the C-code below, the fixed array is "pattern0", while the pointer is "check0."
int compare (uint8_t ch, int ch_valid, int sop)
uint8_t pattern0[24] = {0xaa, 0xbb, 0xcc, 0xdd, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x11, 0x11, 0x22, 0x22, \
                                0x33, 0x33, 0x44, 0x44, 0x22, 0x22, 0x33, 0x33, 0x44, 0x44, 0x55, 0x55};
static int prematch0 = 0, check0 = 0, match0 = 0;
int j;
if (ch_valid == 1) {
    if(check0 < sizeof(pattern0)){
         if(ch == pattern0[check0]) {
            prematch0 = 1;
            check0 = check0+1;
         else {
             prematch0 = 0;
             check0 = 0;
     else if ((check0 == sizeof(pattern0)) && (prematch0 == 1)) {
          check0 = check0;
          match0 = 1;
          prematch0 = 1;
     else {
          check0 = check0;
          match0 = match0;
          prematch0 = prematch0;
else {
       check0 = check0;
       match0 = match0;
       prematch0 = prematch0;
return (match0);
If I write this code manually in Verilog, the check0 pointer is updated in one clock cycle.
Questions:
Why does HLS need two clock cycles to update the check0 pointer?
Do I need to set an HLS directive to cause the verilog code to be generated in a different way?
Does the C-code need to be written differently?
Thanks,
Roy

Hi Debraj,
Thanks for the response. I have another question.
I quicly took the C-code above and added a Verilog clock statement. The code below would execute in one clock.
Is there any way I can re-write the C-code to reduce the 2cc down to 1cc, or is this not possible?
always @(posedge ap_clk) {
   if (ch_valid == 1) {
       if(check0 < sizeof(pattern0)){
            if(ch == pattern0[check0]) {
                prematch0 = 1;
                check0 = check0+1;
            else {
                prematch0 = 0;
                check0 = 0;
       else if ((check0 == sizeof(pattern0)) && (prematch0 == 1)) {
            check0 = check0;
            match0 = 1;
            prematch0 = 1;
       else {
            check0 = check0;
            match0 = match0;
            prematch0 = prematch0;
    else {
       check0 = check0;
       match0 = match0;
       prematch0 = prematch0;
Thanks,

Why does Bridge CS6 require TMP to point to the C: drive?

After much hassle I got Photoshop to work but Bridge always fails with the message
"Failed to write to temporary folder (V:\tmp). Please change the
environmental variable TMP to an existed folder on the C: drive"
Ignoring the questionable grammer for the moment why does Bridge care where my
TMP directory is? CS5 doesn't care. None of the other programs installed on this
system care. Bridge is absolutely adamant, though. Give it temp space on C: it's
perfectly happy. Put it anywhere else and no way at all... Where was Adobe QA when
this was tested??

Their vision of releasing a high quality product was, shall we say, clouded.

Thinking clouded by the promise of quick profits.

When i open safari, i get a message that safari require my login keychain. is there a bug?

When i open safari i keep getting a message to type in my login keychain? do i have a bug in my mac?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application and select the login keychain. If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, unlock it. From the menu bar, select Keychain Access > Preferences > First Aid. If the box labeled Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it. Then select Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid and repair the keychain. Quit the application.

Why does iPhone backup require access to the Internet?

While syncing my iPhone, iTunes first performed a backup. My firewall reported that the backup phase of the sync required access to the Internet. Why would the backup require access to the internet unless it was sending some information?
This makes me a bit worried that some of my personal data is being sent to Apple without my permission.

Whenever your phone is synced and iTunes recognizes there are new crash reports, a program called MDCrashReportTool sends these reports to Apple. Apple then funnels the reports to the correct app developer's iTunes Connect account. No personal information is transmitted.
If this bothers you(it shouldn't), you can turn off the sending of the crash reports:
Right-click on the phone in iTunes, and click "Reset Warnings." The next time you sync, itunes will ask if you want to send the reports. Un-check the "Do not ask me again" option, hit "Don't Send," and you're good to go.

Why does iPhone 6 require login every morning

I set up the fingerprint id on my new iPhone 6 and enabled iCloud, but I disabled the passcode protection because I don't want to login every time I use my phone. Everything works like I want, except the first time I try to use the phone in the mornings, it requires me to log in. the rest of the day it works without logging in. Is there a way to disable it completely?

TouchID requires ou to input a password if you do not log in to you iPhone at least every 48 hours. Maybe the timer is messed up.
-> Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
Try a reset.
Press & hold the Home & Power until you see the Apple logo.
Also, as Meg noted, if you have a corporate exchange account on your device, they can force your phone to require password.
When you set up iCloud it automatically enables passcode. so I turned it off
Also, (as Meg noted) if you have TouchID enabled you HAVE to have a passcode.

Why does SSL VPN require client for full functionality?So What's the point?

I was interested in SSL VPN because I thought that I could have the same functionality I have when connecting via Cisco VPN 3000 concentrator (IPSec with AH and ESP enabled), but without the hassle to deploy and maintain client VPN's for thousands of users.
However, to my disappointment, based on the information below from www.cisco.com (and I believe that it is the case from other vendors, right?) SSL VPN offers limited functionality if deployed clientless. Why is like that?
Imagine I have a VPN (IPSec) solution functional today. If I deploy SSL VPN (clientless) what lack in functionality should I experience? Why a VPN client is required if SSL VPN can successfully establish the tunnel? I don't get it.
"...SSL VPNs provide two different types of access: clientless access and full network access. Clientless access requires no specialized VPN software on the user desktop; all VPN traffic is transmitted and delivered through a standard Web browser. Because all applications and network resources are accessed through a browser, only Web-enabled and some client-server applications-such as intranets, applications with Web interfaces, e-mail, calendaring, and file servers-can be accessed using a clientless connection. This limited access is suitable for partners or contractors that should be provided access to a limited set of resources on the network. And because no special-purpose VPN software has to be delivered to the user desktop, provisioning and support concerns are minimized."

Hi,
Clientless SSL VPN only able to access application through browser (i.e. HTTP and HTTPS). If you need to acces other application like RDC, you need full SSL client.
Full SSL Client is deployed automatically depends on how you configure the SSL VPN box (temporary or permanently);
1. From the SSL VPN box, you can configure it to download and be installed to user PC permanently (500KB+). When the user successfully authenticated by the SSL VNP box, it will download the client and install automatically/permanently without any help from the network administrator. The user need to login on his/her PC with administrator priviledge.
2. From the SSL VPN box, you can configure it to download and be installed to user PC temporary (500KB+). When the user successfully authenticated by the SSL VPN box, it will download the client and install temporary without any help from the network administrator. The user need to login on his/her PC with administrator priviledge.
In one of my deployment, I have 1000+ SSL VPN user. I just need to create a 10 page User Manual/Guide complete with troubleshooting on their own. I use the first option which is automatically download and permanently install in their PC. Patching the SSL VPN Full Client need to upload the new client in the SSL VPN box only and it will automatically patch the client in user PC.

Why does My Verizon require me to answer my secret question all the time?

I rarely login to My Verizon. Let's face it, the account information for Verizon's site aren't exactly as fresh in memory as my mail account or social network authentication details.
So every few months when I do need to check on something about my account, I will go to login and I am presented with my secret question, because Verizon has never seen this computer before.
Let me tell you something about secret questions. They are the most insecure things ever. "Where is your favorite spot to vacation?" Well someone who wants in could maybe look at my social networking pictures. "What was your first pets name?" I don't think it would be very hard for someone to find that out. These are totally pointless. The only time I have ever legitimately used one (years ago when these first came out) I set a secret question that was more obscure than these examples and someone guessed it. So when asked for a secret question what do I do now? I type a random series of letters beacuse I don't want to weaken my accounts security.
So every few months when I go to login to Verizon, it thinks my computer is different and at that point decides to prompt me for this worthless "security" question that I am not stupid enough to have legitimately answered.... except now I can't login to my account, so I've got to have Verizon text my phone a code and reset my password and security question just to check some little detail of my bill.
Get rid of the stupid requirement for a security question for well ANYTHING please, but particularly for not recognizing my PC. I have NEVER seen another website require this. My bank doesn't require me to answer security questions to login. I work in IT at a bank and we don't require this to login unless other authentication methods fail.
At least Verizon's password rules aren't entirely unique. I mean, I don't use the same passwords for each account, but at the same time I don't have 72 totally unrelated passwords for my different accounts. So at least I know my password when I go to login, but it doesn't much matter when my security question now is pretty much set to an illegitimate answer that I am using a second "password".....the only site on the whole Internet I need two passwords for. Fix this garbage.

thrift Your security is important to us. We want to make sure that we take the necessary measures to prevent your my verizon account being comprimised. The secret question is used if your computer is not recognized. The next time you log in, look for the option 'remember this device/computer'. This way you will not be asked for the secret question as long as the computer is the same and password is correct. We hope ths helps.

Why does CC keeps asking for login? Keeps showing up as trial.

Since about a week ago, when I launch any Adobe CC it keeps asking me to login. Afer I login, it says that it's a trial version until it syncs up with my account with a "registration" button. I have to do this every time I launch any Adobe CC product.
What gives?

iTunes will ask you to enter your password when buying songs for each browsing "session". This wouldn't explain why you are being asked to enter it every 3 minutes though.
I would suggest logging out of your Apple ID on iTunes and logging back in. Also, you may verify that your computer is "Authorized" for use with your iTunes content.
To do this on a Mac, go to the "Store" tab at the top of the screen and click "Authorize this Computer"

Why does install/update require a restart?

Could someone please enlighten/edify me as to why it is that updating Safari requires the machine to restart?

Welcome to the forums!
Because it includes components, like Webkit, that are also relied on by other applications in the system.

Why does Home Sharing require an active internet connection?

I have noticed when my internet goes down I have real difficulty streaming content to my Apple TV from my iMac. I can see it but I get stuck on the spinning clock. Some audio works OK but video not. This makes no sense. I shouldn't need any internet to access content on a local device.
It seems to be by design, per Troubleshooting Home Sharing (n.4) "Home Sharing requires a home network with an active Internet connection."
But why can I play music but not TV shows? And why is there not an error message instead of spin? In any case why require it at all? I reset the home wireless, and the modem. My ISP confirmed there was cable trouble at that time. When the internet went back up, home sharing worked.

Thanks for the many many replies, Apple User Community. Apple seems to have removed this requirement with the latest software update (7.0.1) for the Apple TV .
