MacBook Pro :: Unable To Access Lost Keychain / Keychain Cannot Be Found For Safari
Jun 29, 2009I'm sure this is a very basic question, but having just made the Mac switch a week ago...I am lost. when I did a forum search, I found out how to access keychains, but I'm not sure if I found something particular to my question- please forgive me if I overlooked something.
I was downloading microsoft software last night and all of a sudden I began getting these little pop-ups that say "A keychain cannot be found for safari" with the option to cancel or reset to default.
how can I fix this so it doesn't happen?
MacBook Pro :: Can't Access Recovery Mode To Erase HD
Aug 27, 2014I can not access the recovery mode. If I reset my MAC while holding "command-R" it just brings me to the desktop. If I reset holding "option" it will show me the HD but no recovery option. If I access the disk recovery from the desktop, any option to erase HD is greyed out. I have done all system updates and I can't access the internet recovery option either....
I'm planning on selling my Macbook tomorrow!

Safari :: Auto-fill And Keychain Access In Lion?
Feb 9, 2012I'm struggling to get Autofill and Keychain Access configured to operate in a rational way. Perhaps I don't understand something, but judging from all the discussion in various places, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion on the subject. What I want to do seems pretty logical and straightforward (at least to me) :
When I visit a secure site (say for online banking), I would like to have Safari use Autofill to get the password for his site from my keychain (where it is kept securely encrypted when not in use), and fill in the username and password fields for me. What I do not want is for Safari and Keychain Access to retain that userid and password info indefinitely. For example, I logged in to pay a bill at the airport lounge, and then someone swipes my MacBook, logs in, and transfers all my funds to their bank.
It seems that this was what was happening when I first set up Autofill... each time I went to the secure login page, Safari/Autofill/Keychain Access automatically filled in the userid and pw with no prompts, or request for authentication. This behavior might be OK for a website such as the New York Times, but it's not OK for my online banking account!
After some reading, much of which was conflicting due to various OS and Safari versions involved, and some trial and error and testing, I came up with the following settings:
1. In Safari, I set up Autofill to automatically supply userid's and pw's: At this point, there are no websites listed in the "Edit..." window.
2. Next, I entered the required info (userid, pw, URL) in Keychain Access, and set its Access Control as follows: This, I hoped would require that *each* use of the userid and pw be authenticated.
3. Now for the test: I go to the website, and get a request for authentication: So far, this is what I had hoped for, but immediately after I supply the keychain password, I am prompted for it again as follows (I've blanked the actual name of the website):
I want this to be secure, but entering the same keychain password twice is just annoying. I've tried various combinations and tweaks to configure this to work rationally (i.e. one and only one keychain password entry), but have not been successful. It seems that it will work with *no* authentication required, or with *double* authentication required.

Applications :: Safari Asking For A Password To Access The Keychain / Keychain Can't Be Found
Jan 19, 2009Safari keeps giving me popup windows saying a keychain can't be found. It's only just started doing this but it's really annoying. Could it have anything to do with the fact I installed a new flash player? That's the only difference I can think of.Also on another computer it keeps asking for a password to access the keychain. It only does this on one user account though. Any assistance is gladly accepted!
View 4 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Using Keychain Access - Safari / Keychain Fill Passwords Automatically?
May 9, 2009I've never used OSX before about a week ago, but I am picking up on it well (I've used GNU/Linux for almost ten years so I know my way around an operating system). But I don't really think keychain access is working as it should...It's hard to explain. I mean, the way I understand it, shouldn't it be saving the passwords I type into Safari and auto-filling them? Because it only auto-fills some passwords. Paypal autofills, but my bank's website doesn't, and even this forum doesn't autofill. I have to type in my password every time I visit.
Is this working as intended? Is there a way I can get Safari or Keychain to fill in all passwords for me automatically? This is leopard on an iMac G5 iSight model. I did a fresh install like a week ago. Sorry if my question is vague but that's the best I can do with the amount I understand.
OS X V10.7 Lion :: Macbook Pro Freezes At Logo Screen, No Safe Nor Recovery Mode?
Jun 5, 2012my macbook pro today started to freeze at logo scrren. I tried to start it up in both safe and recovery modes but it doesn't work either. I got the system to start in safe mode only once and the scrren looked like in the attached image.When I tried printing the screen instead of taking a photo with my mobile, the image appeared to be normal (without those noisy rectangles), but it wasnt. Then itried restarting but it's been impossible. As i said i tried booting on safe and recovery modes but the circle below the apple logo appèars and then it freezes again. I read about aproblem with the graphic card similar to mine in earlier models, I don`t know if it is the same problem.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Are There Not Password On Recovery Mode
Mar 22, 2012I think it is pretty unsafe to not have a password befor entering the recovery mode.Since one can reset passwords on even admin accounts how come there are no password requiret before entering Recovery mode? It is completly idiotic and totaly unsafe and an easy ways for f.i thiefs to wipe the computer for data.

May 8, 2012Having lost track of how I manage access to stored passwords, I'd like to reset every password stored in my Login Keychain, so that it will always 'Confirm before allowing access" and "Ask for Keychain Password."
Is there anyway to do this in a batch, or must I view/edit each item, one by one.

Jun 21, 2012I've always saved my internet passwords in Keychain Access, but I have to send my computer in for repairs and I wouldn't want the technician to have access to important passwords.On the other hand, though, I don't want to get rid of them forever, because I can't really remember all of my passwords.Is there a way to export them so I can temporarily get rid of them and import them back once I get my MacBook back?

Feb 11, 2012I am trying to get one password for all of my online passwords. Currently I just use the same password for all of my logins, but I was told that was a terrible idea. I would like to get keychain to create randomized passwords for all of my online logins and then I can simply enter the one keychain password everytime that i need login to something online. So I guess my goal would be for Keychain to act as the middleman, does it have that function?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Keychain Access Won't Import Exported Keys
Feb 27, 2012I'm created a key-pair for use with our developer account and I need to transfer the keys (both public and private) to other development machines. The problem is that although the export of both keys appears to go fine, importing the key back into keychain access fails with a dialong saying "An error has occurred. Unable to import an item." This occurs for both the public and private key exported key files. Also, it happens with other public keys on my keychain and it happens with other users also running 10.7.3.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Hanging When Opening Mail And Keychain Access?
Mar 18, 2012I thought this best belonged in OS X Lion discussions even though Mail is affected. I think it may be OS related as the same thing ins happening with my Keychain app.
Basically when I open Mail or Keychain Access the app hangs for a long time - about 2-3 minutes before becoming responsive.
Mail is not as bad as Keychain. Mail is pretty much fine after the initial delay but Keychain hangs pretty much every time i try to navigate the UI making it unusable.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Stuck In Recovery Mode - Cannot Erase Hard Drive
Mar 28, 2012I tried reformatting while running Snow Leopard, but the option was grayed out and the install disc made the computer hang at the white bootup screen. I figured I'd just upgrade to Lion and do a clean install (not an option).
After upgrading to Lion, I booted into recovery to erase the hard drive. I did it and it took less than ten seconds (bad sign).
Now I can't get past recovery and the hard drive is still full.

OS X :: Safari / SharePoint - Keeps Requesting Login Details
Mar 27, 2009I have just bought a new MBP, but I've been having this issue for the last year on my iMac trying to access my companies Intranet through Safari. (Or firefox for that matter..) From an MS blog - http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/arc...19/671735.aspx
Windows SharePoint Services v3 should work according to that link with Safari+2.
This is the version we are using for our intranet, but my Safari just will not allow it. It is forever requesting me for Name and Password. However when I type the said details in, it just pops up and prompts me once again. So I'm guessing this is an authentication issue? It's becoming really annoying and I'd really like to get around it without having to run XP along side OSX just for Intranet page.

May 18, 2009So long story short I set up an account for my husband a while ago on my Macbook, he had full admin rights and privileges as do I, but he hasn't signed on for a few months. He has a ton of work on his account that he moved over from an old hard drive but he's forgotten his password. We've had history with password issues and he doesn't want me to see his and I don't want to know it. I was wondering if there was any way if I let him log on my admin account if he could simply view his password even though he was another user. According to him he remembers locking a bunch of documents using the same password so a simple reset won't work. Is there any way to use keychain to look at his admin account password without resetting it?
