Why is mac mail and ical always asking for my login keychain?

This problem is driving me crazy!  Every time I close my Mac and then reopen it, I get windows saying that Mail needs my login keychain, and the same for iCal and sys admin.  I've done the KeyChain first aid and nothing works.  Help!

Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. Try deleting your Mail and Calendar passwords.

    Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

    First of all, what is asking for a reinstall? Did you move PSE from another computer?

  • My Mac keeps asking for my "login" keychain after I changed my password on my Mac. How do I stop the popups?

    I forgot the password to my Mac, so I reset my password, and ever since then, there have been popups asking for my "login" keychain password. I enter it every time, but they still pop up. Also, my Mail keeps asking for the password to my email, and iMessage is on, but I can't receive any messages, and the window won't even pop up.
    Does anyone know the solution for this?

    Go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.

  • I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

    Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

  • HT201441 I bought an iphone 4*at*t from a craigslist ad. The seller did not restore the phone and when I tried to do it manually it locked the phone and is now asking for the login info. I contacted the seller and he is not responding. What do i do?

  • I installed IOS 8 on my iPad and it continually asks for ICloud login. Why?

    I just installed IOS 8 on my iPad and phone and it continually asks me to login for ICloud.  I login and then it asks again about a minute later.  Is this a bug or something I can fix?

    If your devices are signed into iCloud and haven't already tried, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you aren't running iOS 8), choose Delete from My iDevice and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in (your data will download back to your device.  See if that stops it.

  • When I start up, desktop went back to OG and didn't ask for my login...

    When I started my computer, it removed my desktop wallpaper and put back the original snow leopard wallpaper and it also doesn't ask for my login when I start my computer. What's up?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.

  • MacBook keeps asking for the 'login' keychain password?

    Well I updated my Macbook to Mavericks and after restarting it a couple days later, a window annoyingly keeps popping up asking for the keychain password which I've unfortunately forgotten. I researched a little and someone suggested trying the KeyChain First Aid and if that fails, to delete it but neither work. How can I stop this from constantly popping up on my screen?
    Thankyou!!!

  • Shutting down and restarting always ask for password in xfce4.4

    I'm having this problem, I have the sudoer file setup correctly as per the wiki instructions but this does not fix things. If I do 'visudo' in terminal and then try and restart or shutdown my computer it doesn't ask me for my password. But if I just restart and don't use visudo, xfce will ask for my password when trying to shutdown or restart. How can I fix this, it is very annoying? Thanks for any help.

    the preferred way to enable shutdown in xfce4.4 is to use hal. the shutdown helper will try hal first and then fall back to sudo, if hal doesn't work.
    to enable shutdown via hal, make sure the hal daemon is running and add your user to the 'power' group.

  • I dont know what wrong with my Apple ID , when i tried to updated my apps and the always asking for payment?

    i try to updated my apps and download free apps but my Apple id keep asking for payment, the exacly massage is " before you can make purchases you must tap OK , then verify your payment. before i used to have NONE but after i buy some Apps i put my debite card number. after that i want to change to be none again but None is not show... now i cannot update anything or even download free apps

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • After years of use, T-bird suddenly became unstable, keeps requesting logins and SMTP hesitates, asks for new login; did folder repair, no help.

    Problem described above, wonder how to make sure I have the right port number in case that changed

    have you tried the basic troubleshooting steps I list here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/basic-troubleshooting-for-thunderbird.html
    Note: If ports are wrong, nothing, downloads or uploads as the case may be.

  • Regarding Mail:  When I return to my computer after it has gone to sleep, my accounts go offline, and are always asking me for the password.  THis is very annoying.  How can I prevent this?

    Back up all data.
    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. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    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
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
