How, oh wise one, do I reset the keychain p/w? My dad has been buggin' me for months to reset his and all I know is how to reset his log-in with Utilities at start-up. I need to get his '09 MBP usable again since I killed his PC yesterday. Looong story, suffice it to say I'm an idiot.

You cannot reset the password ona kleychain. You have to create a new one.

Their pictures are fine, but now I gotta learn how to use photos, so that I can go teach these people how to use photos.

Whats worse is the program does not look how it performs. I like that it is really snappy and all that, but it looks like a big blank word document with pictures copied and pasted in.

Thankfully there is like one tiny little back door to keeping iphoto, but as soon as there is another major update, iphoto is gonna go bye bye. Dick move IMO.

Wait, what? They replaced a default program with one with an entirely new UI?

No, never do that. That is the opposite of good design.

Thank you sir, I'll Google the "how-to" on that and see what I can find.

If you get the constant popup about the keychain I've had a hard time getting to reset the "reset my default keychain" button in Keychain Access in 10.9+ to work so I just boot into single user mode, mount the volume read/write and rm -rf /Users/theuserneedingreset/Library/Keychains/*

Otherwise just head to the User Library and turf the content of the Keychain folder, reboot and empty the trash. Voila!

I've had it where that stupid pop up stopped me from doing something as simple manipulating files in Finder so I just skip the drama.

FUUUUUU!!!!!

My Apple AST (Apple Service Test) server went down yesterday! FUUUUUUUUU!!!! Failing hard drive. Luckily I recovered it and got it running again.

And now I have a better backup solution in place.

Xeb's just lucky they don't have "Consumer Law" in New York.
It's turned everyone in Australia into a lawyer. Makes for some straight up ridiculous conversations with customers.
