[QUOTE="Steve1, post: 215366"] Hi, I am trying to add passwords manually to my keychain because the tick box 'Add to Keychain' does not work with ANY application (Mail, Adium, websites, etc). First: the [B]Error Messages:[/B] I go Applications>Utilities>Keychain>All Items (there is only the DSL router listed - all the other applications, websites, pop3 access, where I have clicked 'Add to Keychain' are not listed) The Keychain is locked so I give in my password and unlock it. It unlocks, so therefore the passsword is correct, right. I then add an application (i.e. Adium) File>New Password Item. The drop-down box opens and I add the Application, username & password. I am then asked in a pop-up box to give my password for access to the System Keychain. This I do, then Adium is added to the list. Now... I click on 'Apple + I' to open the Attributes and Access Control box. The box opens. I have listed: Name / Kind / Account / Where / comments / Show Password (tick box). I click on Show Password. A pop-up box opens say Keychain wants access...Please enter the keychain password. I give in the password and 'click' Always Allow. I get the error message: [B]'Sorry, you have entered an invaild password'[/B]. Three times and it (the box) closes. I go to Access Control. I am asked for my password [I]AND IT IS ACCEPTED[/I]. I then add to the list and click save. I get the box: 'Keychain Access wants Permission to change access permissions...Please enter the keychain password. I type in my password and I get the Error box: [B]SORRY, YOU ENTERED AN INVALID PASSWORD[/B]'. Three times and it closes. Now, if I entered an invalid password how was I able to get where I got, in the first place??? Now this is what I have read in other mail and tried to do: It was suggested to another member that the 'change' their system password. System Preferences>Accounts>Password>Change Password I entered my original password and added a new password (actually the same as the original (now remember, this was a suggestion from another mailing). All went fine. The New password was accepted. I can use it to access System and Keychain but then the problems continue. just as described above. This REALLY is [B]driving me nuts[/B]!!! :confused: :confused: :confused: OSX 10.4.6 In The Keychain list (Upper Box) I have: System X...Anchors System Direct e-mail help: [email]SteveHurley10@yahoo.de[/email] [/QUOTE]
