Why is iPhoto asking for keychain access to confidential Facebook "something"??

I've recently upgraded to Lion and the newest iPhoto '11 and I keep getting a pop-up from iPhoto "iPhoto wants access confidential keychain (something) with api.Facebook" or something like that. What is this? Does anyone else have information about what this is and why it's asking?? I've been denying. There is an allow, allow always and deny (but of course not a "deny always") and I have no idea what this is. Please help! Thanks.

Safari keeps asking for Keychain Access

Everytime I use Safari after some time it asks for Keychain access. I disabled the autofill forms feature already, but it does not stop asking. Does anybody know how to keep Safari from doing this without disabling the password protection of my keychain?
Honestly said, this erraneous behaviour keeps me from using Safari as Firefox does not make such strange attempts to use Keychain.

I didn't think before reading this discussion to be related, but now I tend to believe it may be. I've recently started using Papers.app and to get access to some publications under institutional subscription I have to configure both Papers.app and Safari to be authenticated connecting to Internet through my institution's proxy. The problem is that now the keychain access manager keeps asking authorization every now and then what really has become a heavy nuisance, not only occurring while a keep Safari open, but also while using any other application which try to connect to the Internet such as iTunes or Fission.app. Before I started using Papers.app I had devoted one browser to download articles nder subscription in order to limit such nuisance to the time I was browsing them. However, using Papers.app I've been forced to configure Safari to that purposes, reproducing the annoying effects every time I open any application which are connecting to the Internet. I posted a message in the Papers.app but nobody has replied so far. I thought of changing the browser used by Papers.app would help, unfortunately, I couldn't find any way to get so. Now that it seems there is a way to prevent the system from asking for keychain access, it may fix the problem. This is the message I posted in Papers' Support Forum. I'd really appreciate any help or suggestion:
Can Papers.app use a different browser other than Safari to get authentication from my institution's proxy?
I am at the University of Barcelona (UB), Spain, we also have an automatic proxy-cache configuration URL (like johnraekwon at the U of Manchester)
http://www.bib.ub.edu/pac/proxy.pac
Every time I open the browser I've configured to connect through your University proxy, I get a drop down menu to authenticate with and then I proceed to the URL I head to, only now with UB credentials. More or less like johnraekwon has to do.
Unfortunately this aunthentication doesn't last for long, you are often requested to authenticate again and again. This nuisance made me decide to devote a browser different from the default browser to download articles, and it's being working rather satifactorily while I only used that browser to download papers from the Internet.
Now that I tried configuring Papers.app to download those articles which requiring subscription I've found that it only works as long as Safari is configured in the same way, that is, it has to authenticated by the proxy to get access to the Internet. I wouldn't mind using Safari exclusively to browse papers. The problem is that most other applications are also using Safari as default browser and it doesn't seem it can be changed, among them iTunes, which I usually open to download podcasts. Since I've configured Safari to get access through my institution's proxy, it keeps asking me to authenticate, and halting every task in process by doing so.
For most purposes I don't need to get authorized access, so I wish my default browser not being configured in such a painful manner.
I'd like to know whether I can change some of Papers.app options to replace Safari as default browser by, I say, Firefox, therefore limiting those repetitive authentications to just the time I'm browsing papers. It let Safari idle to be configured as a default browser to smoothly work for other purposes such as iTunes.
Thanks for the interest. Any idea will be welcomed.

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

Something called "SUBPUBAGENT" is asking for complete access to my Keychain

This is a sudden development. Dialogue box keeps appearing again and again asking for keychain access by SUBPUBAGENT(?) What is this? I'm afraid it is a shadow user created by someone trying to hack my iDisk on my network. A hardrive and MacHelp search yeilds no info on subpub or sibpubagent. Help!

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.

Asking for password for keychain access, but won't accept my password... What's up with this?

Restarted my MacBook just now and it's got a continuous stream of pop ups asking for password for keychain access, won't accept my password, won't go away (cancel), any suggestions.

Hello Al323,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Keychain Access on your Mac. I found a couple of articles I suggest for the issue you described.
Your keychain uses your the same password as your login password. If it is not accepting that password, I recommend running the Keychain First Aid using the steps in this article:
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296
If you are still repeatedly seeing a prompt to enter your Keychain Access password, you may need to reset your keychain. This will create a new keychain so any saved passwords on the old keychain will not be available, and you will need to enter them when accessing sites for the first time again. Follow the steps in the article below to create a new keychain:

My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it.
I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail.
Is there anything I can do other than Resetting the entire computer and re installing all of the software, apps, etc.etc.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

Freecorder asked for admin access & now i don't know what it installed

hi there!
first time writing a thread. i stupidly installed freecorder. it is reknown ... more like notorious for installing all kinds of garbage on windows. they must have just come up with a dmg for mac - as applian's customer service still has no idea that there's a mac app. it asked for admin access during install. briefly afterwards, i realized that that was not normal for an app to do - so i started looking around & sure enough, it's filled with nasty stuff. i have since deleted the app, but wondering what else it could have left on my computer. also if there is a way to see what changes it made, or why it even needed access to my admin ...
i'd be grateful for any help. still getting to know mac.
thanks,
adam

It's normal for your Mac to prompt for your admin password when installing apps.
If the app is still in the trash... drag it out of the Trash to the Desktop.
Then install this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
AppCleaner will not only uninstall the app but all the associated files.
If you emptied the trash, click the Spotlight icon top right in your screen. Type freecorder in the search field.
Hopefully that will help you find any of the associated files.
You are correct in that it's a nasty one > http://download.cnet.com/Freecorder/3640-2071_4-11594257.html

Why am I asked for my three digit security code when I am requesting a free App. Is this a security problem? Is it safe to give this number for a free App?

Why am I asked for my three digit security code (on my bank card) when I am requesting a free App? Is this a security problem? Is it safe, or wise to give out this number for a free App? I have downloaded free apps before and it is only recently that this request for my security number has started to happen. Hellp please! Verajoan

Your CVV code is asked for whenever the Terms & Conditions for the iTunes Store have changed, or if you access the iTunes Store from a new device, This prompt does not indicate any actual charges.
Yes it is okay to enter your CVV code on free apps, as well as any apps from the iTunes Store as you are giving your CVV code to APPLE itself, and not to the app developer.

IPhoto asks for an upgrade of Aperture and otherwise won't open

After upgrade to Maverick, iPhoto asks for an upgrade of Aperture (which I don't have and never had), and otherwise won't open. If I click "ok", the Applications store opens and asks me to BUY Aperture (69,99 EUR).
There must be a bug in iPhoto 11 after the upgrade to Maverick..?

I can only guess at a couple of solutions:
#1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
#2
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?

Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?

Either because you're trying to buy some sort of gift, or the iTunes Store servers are checking the validity of your account and won't charge the card, or there's a problem at Apple's end.
