Keychains with expired certificates...

[Dreambird]

I have two keychains:
applepushserviced.keychain & apsd.keychain in my /Library/Keychains that show all expired certificates in Keychain Access. They cannot be unlocked in there while even System.keychain can be unlocked with password. The dates on the 2 in question show dates of 2012 and 2016 respectively in Finder.

...and the question is...

Different versions of the OS have different versions of keychain.plists. There are probably also keychain.plists in HD/System/Library/Keychains. I'm not sure what you mean by "my /Library/Keychains". Is that your home Library or the HD/Library or the HD/Systems/Library?

I'm also confused by the several posts concerning Updaters for OS 11.x. Apparently, you have rooted out many files and encountered mostly more problems in the process. I have no idea of the state of your system, but if you can still boot up, I would think the use of a Combo Updater might solve more problems than continually looking around and affecting things that should only be touched by reliable maintenance tools or the OS. My Golden Computer Maintenance Rule: Just because we can do things, doesn't mean we should. Of course, that's just my paranoid opinion.

I will say it has been interesting reading. Sorry I can't be of help.

That's my HD/Library... they are in there. Didn't touch anything in the System Library.

I can boot up fine... just the permissions messed up. So everytime I want to do anything in the Utilities folder like copy, delete, move, make an alias, anything whatever I have to enter the admin password.

Apparently it can be a problem inherited from a Time Machine restore... it's recommended to  set external HD's to "ignore ownership" but the feature in Get Info to do that doesn't exist in this OS.

Jim,

I will say it has been interesting reading. Sorry I can't be of help.

If I've been able to entertain you and make you laugh then it HAS been of help to me... really! It's much better than a certain "Ex" who always tells me and always has... to "SHUT UP!" Even if I'm just mumbling to myself... it relieves stress for me if someone listens so to speak, to my ramblings. I'd probably laugh too if I were you... 
And as I like to say, if some little bit happens to help someone, so much the better. 

... the preferences I've been trying to weed out are all in my home Library. I quoted that incorrectly above. I rarely touch anything in the HD/Library and never in the System/Library.
