Annoying MacBook error....help!

[tRoN]

I have a new MacBook Pro with touchbar.

"idsKeychainSyncingProxy quit unexpectedly"

I seem to be getting this annoying error which has been reported on Apple forums but no proper fix.
Called the helpline but they couldn't help.
Its more annoying and doesnt seem to affect functionality

Now they want me to book it in but this happens intermittently and they may not see it and I cant do without my notebook.

Any ideas?

Been there. Doesn't seem like there is consensus.

Has something to do with the passwords that are stored on iCloud.

What is "console"?

a log of all error messages

"applications" > "utilities" > "console"


try deleting the "plist" file:
com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.private.alloy.keychainsync.plist

found in "users" > "your own user account name" > library > "preferences"



delete the file, empty trash, reboot
if you get an error message when emptying the trash saying the file is running / busy etc , then use activity monitor (in utilities) to "force quit" the file

Thanks.
Console gives a lot of gobbledygook log info.

Can't seem to find that .plist file.

Nooooooooooo!

Sierra High is coming out soon, I would not recommend doing an upgrade, a fresh install would be wise.

iCloud Keychain…

iCloud Keychain…

Yes. First thing I tried actually.

Afterwards I was wondering if it should be done on all my other devices too?

Are the people reporting it on the forums also reporting it to Apple?

I hope so. I clicked on the "send to apple"
