Reader David Collins lost a convenient feature when he updated to Yosemite. He writes:</p>

When upgrading to OS X Yosemite on my iMac I took your advice (http://www.macworld.com/article/2690806/how-to-install-mac-os-x-yosemite.html) and installed it on an external drive. I like it so far, but even though I’ve switched on and verified Keychain in the iCloud system preference, Safari doesn’t know about my previously saved passwords. When I launch Safari, open its preferences, and click on the Passwords tab, the area below is empty. Is there some file I need to copy from Mavericks to make this work?

You needn’t do that. Rather, you just have to give iCloud Keychain a not-so-subtle nudge. Apple outlines the steps for doing so in its Get Help Using iCloud Keychain document (http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS4644).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2841808/what-to-do-when-icloud-keychain-fails-to-sync.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
