I found this in my search...tried it, and it worked. This resets the Keychain password. Open up the Terminal window and type: /System/Library/Frameworks/SecurityFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/kcSync.app/Contents/MacOS/kcSync -reset LarryMcJ

I have an iMac and new MacBook both registered with .Mac. In doing a sync on the MacBook it won't sync the keychains I've put on .Mac from the iMac. It keeps asking me for the password to my iMac, which I give it, but insists it's the wrong password. Details drop-down say "kcSync". I've...

Thanks to everyone to tried to figure this out, but I literally stumbled onto the solution. In Googling for answers, I ran across a post where a user couldn't get rid of his .Mac account after it expired. The .Mac support person said to simply remove his .Mac username and password from the...

I just setup a new MacBook and the minute I opened Mail for the first time it auto-configured itself for my .Mac email account. I tried deleting the account, but it keeps coming back, even though only two things I'm using .Mac iSync for are Address Book and Bookmarks (Mail Accounts and Mail...

What is the best way to keep a MacBook continually in sync with an iMac Desktop? I already have SuperDuper and I know I could always restore to the MacBook...but I'm looking for something that, when they're both running 24/7 will keep them mirrored. Thanks. LarryMcJ

Actually, the newest Airport Extreme is an excellent router, especially if you have both Mac and Windows machines on the same wired network. I know how to map ports on routers...my point is that port mapping with this router does not work and I just wondered if anyone had a fix for this...

While the new Airport Extreme Base Station is truly a wonderful product...it carries on the totally useless Port Mapping configuration mess of Airport Utility. Every single "normal" router in the world has a standardized Port Mapping configuration scheme and it simply works. Yet the worlds...

Though my Mac Address Book syncs just fine with Exchange server, it has one problem....mismatching fields in the email addresses. Whatever I put in the "WORK" field in Address Book shows up in "Email 2" in Exchange/Outlook. Whatever I put in the "HOME" field in Address Book shows up in "Email"...

Every time Mail does a Send/Receive, the Dock notification icon displays "4" messages, but there are no new messages. If there are any new mail messages, the count is appended (if there is one new message, the icon displays "5" messages). Left-clicking the dock icon makes the red "4" disappear...

One of the few good things about Windows is application windows always open in the same place every time. Why can't we have this with Apple Mail...it occurs with many other inherent Apple applications. When I open a new message window in Apple Mail I don't want it to be in a different...

Just in case someone else has similar problems in the future, here are the solutions: The phantom alias icons turned out to be just residual DHCP clients in my Linksys router that for some reason wouldn't auto-delete when a new computer name was given to the laptop. I finally did a hard reset...

A Mac (OS X), two Windows XP machines and two Windows Vista machines on a home peer network. All four of the Windows machines can browse the Mac just fine, but the Mac can only browse the XP machines. It sees the Vista machines, but when it goes there, no files are displaying...like an empty...

Fixed...disregard.

Network problem I've Googled this to death and all I find are other frustrated folks with the same problem...never an answer that works. I have Mac (OS X 10.4) on a home network with five other Windows PCs. I can browse four of the five computers just from from the Mac, but one I can...

I've been doing the same thing..hit RETURN then UP ARROW to get the blank line of separation, but if you do a lot of email it's still frustrating. LarryMcJ

Does anyone know how to overcome the following issue in Mac Mail: when you repy to any message (with quoted text enabled) the new mail window displays with the cursor prepositioned on the line directly above the quoted text. Most mail clients preposition the cursor with one blank line between...

I can't get iCal to display anniveraries in my Address Book, though birthdays display just fine. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! LarryMcJ

Well...now that you mention it, some apps do behave better than others. All the iLife apps seems to do fine, but Mac's own System Preferences does not. It will not remain the size or position at which it was last left. Also, Mac's TextEdit doesn't have sticky window position or size. One...

While I love my new Mac (after Windows since version 2.0) I can't believe there isn't a way to have windows retain their size and position after I change them? Are there any tips for retaining window size & position? Thanks! LarryMcJ

Using OS X 10.4.8 and trying to find a way to make window postions sticky in Entourage. A new message window, or reply to a message window always defaults to the upper left corner. On a 24" iMac that's a long ways from my comfortable viewing point. Thanks for any help. LarryMcJ
