Feb 2, 2015 3:39 AM in response to jpparallelby JAGUK,All of our user's home directories have the correct permissions but everyone still gets the two popups on each boot up...
This has gone beyond annoying and I cannot believe Apple have not addressed this yet (yes, we know you read these forums!)

Feb 2, 2015 4:21 AM in response to JAGUKby jpparallel,Just to claify for everyones benefit, the"fix" I posted is running on 10.10.2 client and server latest app itertion as of 2 Feb 2015 on 10.10.2 host OS. Also, I appreciate the terms get interchanged and combined alot which doesn't help, but in my eye the following applies:
Permissions relates to Read Write Execute ability
Ownership provides Full access in extended attributes
Full access (not just read write execute ability - and yes, there is a difference) for the User of their own home directory is important.

Feb 2, 2015 10:12 AM in response to jpparallelby sdf_iain,I'll second this, my fix also included resetting ownership from the User's home folder all the way down. interestingly enough my fix survives reboots, but updating from 10.10.1 to 10.10.2 broke things again.

Feb 3, 2015 2:56 AM in response to sdf_iainby JAGUK,Just to be sure, for a couple of users, I have tried resetting permissions and propagating them through but unfortunately no change in the situation.

Mar 3, 2015 1:41 PM in response to Peter Brudererby TheFishyFew,The temporary fix we have found is if bound to Active Directory, always change your password on the mac in system preferences. If the keychain breaks, go straight to the User's Library folder, delete the keychain folder and reboot. Best to warn the client that doing this will also delete any saved passwords (Which they were not supposed to do anyway).

Jun 13, 2015 7:52 AM in response to Peter Brudererby blchace,None of the above has worked, only temporarily.
under your user account
Deleting the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.homeSync.plist seems to be successful for me.

Jul 8, 2015 4:24 AM in response to JAGUKby nick-without-a-name,All,
I have spent a whole lot of time researching this problem. I have concluded that this issue is merely a symptom of another problem.
The real problem is this: upon login the user keychain is not unlocked (available) within a certain timeframe, resulting in that all services trying to use it are stuck.
I have encountered many times the warning after login 'the login keychain cannot be found, reset to default?' Or whatever the English warning could be (I'm Dutch). The login keychain is there only, it is not unlocked.
Did anyone NOT enter the login keychain password when home sync asks for it? If you don't, next you'll get bombarded with warnings from all kind of services trying to use the login keychain.
So my conclusion is this: FileSync service / Homesync or whatever you call it, has no bug. The underlying process that should unlock the keychain and make it available for services to use has.
Can anyone confirm my thoughts?

Apple WatchI have thought the same. There is some kind of timing issue in the OS that Apple needs to address. Once the timing event is triggered it requires a reset by one of the various methods mentioned in this thread. Problem is the we don't know what triggers it. I agree with others though, its embarrassing for Apple that they haven't addressed it. Here's hoping for a fix in 10.11...

This has been going on since at least 10.6 as far as I can recall (6 years ago). I wouldn't hold your breath, contact your nearest Apple business rep or keep pressing Apple for a fix if you want it resolved.

Jul 9, 2015 11:50 AM in response to Drew Reeceby Dave Razorsek,I don't understand why Apple even bothers to offer this software when it is obvious they give it no attention. I feel for any IT department that has to support this. Apple either needs to step up to the plate or just kill it. I teethed myself on server 10.6 and it seems like its been nothing but a downhill ride since.

Aug 5, 2015 1:15 PM in response to Peter Brudererby vidiv,Hey guys,
I'm an IT technician at a major institution. If you're already dealing with this problem, it's too late to fix it. You have to nuke whatever is causing the issue. At least in the one case we've seen for this, the solution was:
1) Open Keychain Access;
2) Ctrl+Click the 'login' keychain in the left-hand list;
3) Delete the keychain.
The next time an application wants the login keychain, it'll ask you to create a new login keychain. From then on, unless you repeat your mistake, you'll be A-OK.
