Cannot Turn Off Keychain

Hi

I am trying to turn off iCloud Keychain on OSX 10.10.2 but cant...

This is the screen i see. I have already turned off (with great difficulty) keychain on my iPhone. So I press options and I get 'reset keychain', press yes.

enter my password, all is fine. setup new 4 number passcode, fine, enter my phone number and get the error: iCloud keychain couldn't be set up because there was an error communicating with icloud.

I want to do this because whenever i boot i get 20 or so messages asking for the password to 'local items' keychain.

This sound familiar to anyone? I'm verging on a clean install, spent days trying to figure this out.

Thanks,

Gaz.

Hi Baby Boomer and Iwoo

Thanks for your replies. I had 2 separate issues it would seem. I manages to fix the 'local items' keychain issue from Npalamidis post in this thread:

And i solved the icloud keychain issue by re enabling keychain on my iphone and getting approval there.

Thanks again for your replies.

Gaz.
