Keychain not responding

sorry, didn't work 😟

To make sure I restarted the computer leaving the plist on the desktop : No go!

(I should tell you that Aperture decided not to "honor" "do not import duplicates" about the same time.)

I will have to try that tomorrow :-p
In the meantime I could no longer get on the internet. Finally fixed that problem but one of the "temporary removal" of all internet plists, and several other plists seemed to have fixed the problem. Nothing else had worked. This, however has resulted in not being to read my mail on the mac, only online. Once imported they become duds.

I do not know which plist handles that. I guess I will need to put that one or those back 🙂

Forgot to mention that my backup would not work either. Said "error (2) file not there" I

Thanks
Will let you know how the rebooting to disk works out

There were no repairs needed. Permissions ok, and now I have a ? instead of the keychain icon, so I am going to try to transfer just the keychain files to the Mac HD
The mail issue seems to have repaired itself 🙂

the keychain is gone as far as opening. After replacing the backup keychain files, still no go. I have an older backup and will see if that works. If not what do I have to do to get it working again???

Everything else is working perfectly now. so even if the keychain is not working I am going to do another backup.

I was using a backup program, but am going to do it the apple way this time 😀

Tried the older backup, no go. Question!!
Should I delete the files on the HD first? one library/keychains at the time? Because replacing the files is not working.

The User Template folder in the Library does not allow me access. " not sufficient privileges"
What is up with that?

Check Applications>Utilities, is Keychain Access there at all?

Correct, No keychain Access there at all

Do a Get Info on it, what rights do you have? "No access", owned by system and it is locked

I did do a re-install when i had the safari issues in July? I think. Have had no problems. So there has been no disk repairs. At least it has said none were needed.

I do have a suspicion: I installed MS messenger because I needed it for communication with a friend. I have since deleted it incl all plists and any MS references.
It was after that installation that things started to go wrong.

Another odd thing is that when I tried to add my daughter's wireless connection to my computer, it completely fouled my ethernet connection up. I also kept getting a message that another application had changed the information . This happened every time I tried to re-establish internet connection. (I deleted all plists that had anything to do with the internet before I could get it back)


It was not until I deleted both Yahoo and MS messengers, (So don't know which one could be the problem) That I was able to get the internet working again. Therefor my suspicion 🙂

Odd though about the keychain. How DID it disappear?

Even more odd is the fact that the keychain app also is non-existent on both my backups. Does that make ANY sense at all?

What program do I use to open pacifist with?
Selection available incl Installers and apple script, the others are other apps

I also checked out the install disk 1 and can find no keychain info, no packages either. Maybe on disk 2? 😀

What is "silverlight"? it is a package

all right. I loaded pacifist



It is in Contents of additional essentials package

There is a Keychain access.app also in seems to be in the different language packages. Is it enough to add the english or do I have to add all?

Also keychain scripting.app

Do I have to set a master password to check "Require password to unlock each secure system preference" ?
