I followed the instructions here to backup the system keychain from my MacBook and install it on the iMac, but get an error saying 'Operation not permitted'.Ĭertain files have a property incorrectly set that will prevent them from being changed or deleted while the system is running. That is to say that I can freely edit, delete and create keys in the System keychain. I also have a MacBook, which is not exhibiting this problem. This being said, I would have no problem 'resetting' the System keychain to default (empty) condition. My System keychain contains 20 items - all of which are either passwords to WiFis, passwords to Time Machines (which I want to delete), and one application password to the guest account. I am not able to change any of the information in any of the System keys nor am I able to add new keys to the System keychain.

I get a box that says 'An error occurred while deleting 'The Key I want to delete' UNIX.

I get a box that says 'Are you sure you want to delete 'The Key I want to delete' from the System keychain?' I click 'Delete'.

I get a box that says 'Keychain Access is trying to modify the system keychain, Type your password to allow this.' So I do.

I left-click on the key that I want to delete and select Delete 'The Key I want to delete'.

I unlock the keychain using my admin password (the icon changes from locked to unlocked).

I go to Keychain Access and select System from the list of keychains.

I am having a bit of a problem deleting keys (any keys) from the System keychain on my iMac.
