"bla bla" want to use the "Local Items" keychain, but password isn't accepted.

Sorry but Terminal is rather alien to me. I open Terminal, tapped in 'cd ~/library/keychains' but nothing happens.

Yes something does happen but you cant see it happening. That command simply changes directory.

You are better copy and paste (cmd+V) into terminal rather than type.

Thank you - this painlessly solved the issue.

Hi, I have filevault enabled. Would you know if the fix described here can cause problems when filevault is active?

If you are going to mess with stuff like Keychain components, you should not have anything active that can be disabled!! Unplug it all, turn it all off first. Filevault, Time Machine, iphoto, Safari...........

Apple should get a better fix for this asap. I was able to resolve it on my computer, but I know a lot of people that would be dead in the water with this. The pop ups are intrusive and cannot be dismissed. A typical every day user shouldn't be messing around in Terminal.

Refer to Dominic23's post

ok, what is "is" and the rm stuff????

Read the whole thread, I already answered that question.

For those who don't want to use the terminal, you can remove the folder from the Finder. Simply open the "Go" menu and then hold down the "option" key. A Library item should become visible. Select it and that will open your personal Library folder "~Library". From there open the "Keychains" folder and you should see that folder with the random characters. Drag it to the trash and reboot.

Hello, as many i started having this problem put of the blue with Mavericks.

I deleted the weird folder in ~library/keychain, reset the password in the keychain app, completely logged out from icloud...

What is happening now is this:

if I start the computer and log in WITH internet connection on. I immediately receive all the messages and I have all the folders in my account locked and inaccessible. Plus if I try to get into icloud in system configuration, the panel never appear and the system configuration freeze

If I start and log in WITHOUT internet connection on... everything works perfectly for 4-5 hours, then suddenly the problem rises again.

If I log in and leave the compuer without internet I can work as log as I like without problem

What can I do?

Have you tried going into Launchpad/Other/Keychain Access and deleting all the lines in group icloud? You will need to reenter passwords online next time you log in.

Hello,

thanks for your reply.

Yes I tried at the beginning, but now I completely logged out from Icloud so I don't eithrr have an Icloud item in my keychain

any other idea?

No, sorry.
