Hi Laura, I've only just caught up with this thread so, firstly, good to hear you now have mail working. > Until I know how to use Keychain I shall keep well away from it. I agree that it is best not to start changing things in Keychain unless you know just what you are doing (and why). However

Hi Again Laura, I thought I better say "Don't type your Password in your reply email", I only meant for you check what password you are using in iiNet Webmail, as it probably is the same as in your Mail Account in Apple Mail. Hi Laura, NO, the email account's password is NOT your Login (Admini

Hi Laura, NO, the email account's password is NOT your Login (Administrator) Password. It is the password you would have given iiNet when you signed up & setup your Account with them. What password are you using to access your iiNet webmail? Do you have a copy of your iiNet Account settings /

The only problem with this is it sounds like the keychain has been locked so it will ask for a password to store the password. Depending on how many other items are in the keychain I would probably just trash the keychain from ~/Library/Keychains then launch Safari and when it says there is no

Hi Ronni Sorry but I don't know the password for my mail account. It was set up four years ago. I could assume it's the same as my login password but no guarantee, so not sure if I should still go ahead with your latest suggestion. I feel rather stupid about all this given that I'm not consc

Hi Laura You can also try some of the "generic" ones used for the admin password in Keychain. These are apple or password or (nothing. Just leave it blank and click ok). Try those and cross fingers :) Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Em

Hi Laura, The User ID=501 is you The Owner. Ownership in Mac OS X, and all flavours of Unix, is based on an account’s user identification number (UID) and a group’s group identification number (GID), not on the user name and group name you see in the Info window or other folder listings. Those

Hi Ronni Yes that is correct, I used my normal login password for the verification but if I use it when asked for "login"keychain password I get the message that the password is invalid. In "Access Control" I tried deselecting "confirm before allowing access" and instead chose "allow all appl

Hi Laura, You say below that you did 'Verify' your login keychain … You had to type in your Administrator(User Account) password to allow you to do that? If you never set a different password for your Keychain 'login', the password is your Administrator password. Cheers, Ronni On 24/06/2010,

Hi Ronni Thanks for that but still no joy. I've followed the steps you mention but when I select "show password" I am asked for my keychain login password. The only password I know is my main login password and when I insert that I get a message saying it is invalid. Is there a separate admin

Hi Ronni When you recently responded to a query and indicated how you use Keychain I decided I should have a look at whether I should be doing likewise. I didn't get very far, was not sure what to do so just left it alone. At least that's what I thought I had done but now I am locked out of Ma
