Q: Keychain login cannot be found to store 1178972057- help!

I get the error message shown above every minute or two.  I click cancel and can carry on for another minute or two then the message appears again.  In spite of the message of doom I got when I tried to reset the defaults for keychain, I eventually grew so fed up I tried to reset the keychain (whatever the **** that is).  Alas, it still is confused.  Any thoughts?

    Try the following:

     

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1544 Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X


    Keychain First Aid

     

    Afterwards, update your OS by using ---> OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Combo Update

    Your profile confirms you are still using OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

     

    After doing all of the above, repair permissions & restart your computer.  Post back the results.

    If you've just changed your login password in Recovery mode, follow these instructions. Otherwise, see below.

    At some point, you may have reset your keychain to default in Keychain Access. That action would have caused your login keychain to be renamed.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    In Keychain Access, delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:

    ~/Library/Keychains

    In the Finder, select

              Go ▹ Go to Folder...

    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. Rename the file "login.keychain" in that folder to something like "login-old.keychain". Rename the file "login_renamed_1.keychain" to "login.keychain". You can then close the folder.

    Back in Keychain Access, select 

              File Add Keychain...

    from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file you named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
