Q: What is the name of my keychain file and how do I recover it?
I was having problems with iCloud Drive syncing, where files where not being updated via the iMac, over the past 2 weeks.
I am an inspector, and rely on cloud services to perform my duties, at customers' site. My reports would be updated on the iPad and saved to the iCloud Drive, so when I get to my desk, I can then complete any final amendments, attach it and send a report via email.
Well for some reason, this all stopped working the way its should;
- Template report
- Export documents
- Photos
- Completed reports
None of the files were being transferred to iCloud Drive via the finder using the drag and drop method from an email to a created folder <Job Ref> in the cloud.
So I rung apple support who said, remove the iCloud account from the iMac, switch off then start again. This process cured the problem for about a day. Instead of calling support again, I tried to do the said process, but this time I deleted the keychain from the iMac .
My question is: what is the name of the keychain file and how can I recover it?
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
