I recently fired up an old PowerBook that I haven't used in a while. I have it set to sync with .Mac with my two desktops (one at work, one at home). Since then, I have to enter my AIM password, mail passwords, iDisk passwords, etc on all three machines whenever I log in. I noticed that I get a dialog that says "...unable to write to Keychain.", so I tried to verify the keychain on one of my desktops (at work) and it says everything is okay. If I try to repair it, however, I get the following:

Checked settings for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Settings for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain may cause the keychain to be locked
Current values: lockOnSleep=no, autoLock=never
Settings corrected on ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

The two middle lines appear in blue. It says this no matter how many times I repair it.

Any ideas?

This is the full error:

There was a problem saving to your keychain. Please try again or use Keychain Access to verify your keychain. Error: -2147415734.

Permissions problem, perhaps?

I just tried repairing permissions, but it is still happening.

I doubt if the Disk Utility Repair Permissions function will look at user files. I'd check them manually using Get Info on the ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain file. Fwiw, mine are:

Owner: <myusername>
Access: Read & Write

Group: <myusername>
Access: Read only

Others: No Access.

Try resetting your password in your user accounts, that should take of the keychain as well.

Works for me when I have these sorts of troubles.
