Profile manager (macOSX FF 3.6.8) won't create new profile or rename

Using terminal I used profile manager to successfully create a new profile (it called it Default User) and then I copied essential files like bookmarks into the new folder. FF works fine, but I can not longer create a new profile or rename the old one. In terminal the create new / rename dialogue appears, but when I try to type in a new name into the dialogue box the text does not appear in the dialogue box but appears in the terminal window. The profile folder only contains the one profile and it is correctly referenced in the .ini file.

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

My computer won't create new folders-only new briefcases

HP heard-1360t desk top running Win 7 64 bit
My computer won't create new folders. It creates new briefcases instead. It does not matter whether I use the New Folder link at the top or Right Click --> New-->New Briefcase . The New Folder option is not there.
Does anyone know how to get it back?

HELP, Acrobat 9 missing files, won't create new PDF & won't repair

PLEASE HELP! I tried to create a PDF in Acrobat 9 from a Word 2003 document & it won't let me. I've done this many times before & now all of a sudden it won't work. The import starts & then I get a message that it is missing "pdfmaker files". I tried to repair Acrobat using the "Repair Acrobat Installation" button, but nothing happened. I tried to use my disk but get a message that the "Patch Package could not be opened". I'm using Windows XP. Any help is appreciated.

When ever you are having such problems, the first thing to try is the basic print process. The second is to look for the PDF toolbar in the applications of OFFICE that you are using (or other applications). If they do not exist, it is typically that the macros for PDF Maker are not enabled (Abhigyan has addressed this) or PDF Maker does not work with that application. The latter is sometimes either that there is no capability for the specific application or there is a compatibility issue between AA and the appl (like AA prior to 10 and OFFICE 2010).

IMovie won't create new project? (Yosemite)

Hello! I recently got a MacBook Pro. It came with Mavericks, but I quickly upgraded to Yosemite. I never opened iMovie in Mavericks, I upgraded to Yosemite I imported any videos to work with.
I'm trying to open a project in iMovie and it won't work. I've never been able to get a new movie or trailer to open. Here's what I get when I try:
"The operation could not be completed.
No other information is available about the problem."
I've read around and it appears to be something with the preferences. So I looked where they suggested and couldn't find the file. I'm guessing it was moved for Yosemite?
Either way, I need help. I've been messing with it for a week and nothing has worked.
Any feedback is appreciated, thank you!
Josiah

What exactly happens when you go File - New Movie? I need far more info to help. Have you already imported any projects from iMovie 9?

Automator Won't Create New Documents

Hi there--
When I launch Automator a dialog box comes up asking me to open or create a new document. When I select New, nothing happens. This is true when I select New from the File menu. Additionally, it won't open sample workflows either. I've deleted the Prefs file in my user Library, but that didn't help
Any thoughts?

Hi all,
I too am having the same problem. Read on for details.
I upgraded from a working Garageband v3.x (plus the usual load of other stuff via Software Update) and after installing iLife 08, to Garageband 4.1.2 (248.7). Running on a Macbook 1.83MHz with 2GB RAM and OS X 10.4.11 (fully up-to-date).
I can confirm that no amount of 'preferences' deletion and renewal or permissions fixing ('oddball fixes' according to external website referred to by poflynn) makes any difference. No amount of fiddling with Garageband makes any difference either.
When creating a new project the window opens with a std basic track but when I choose to add either a new software or real instrument the new track is not displayed - oddly though the effects pane opens/updates on the right for each 'new' track created. I have been completely unable to get any of the 'new' tracks to display in the track pane of the main window however so cannot build any composition.
Importing a pre-existing Garageband 3.x composition works and all the tracks are displayed correctly but the 'new' track behaviour is the same as above.
I have not yet tried re-installing or downgrading yet and would prefer not to and Apple also state on the Garageband 4.1.2 page that 10.4.11, 10.5 and Garageband 4 are system requirements so it 'should' all work together. I have not yet investigated the CrashReporter and other logs yet either to look for sources of the problem but one possibility may be a screen redraw/update issue with Garageband.
If any users reading this are using 10.5 their input would be useful if they can indicate they are not having any problems as I wonder of it may be an issue with 10.4 and the latest Garageband seeing as 10.5 is a major rewrite of the OS and it wouldn't surprise me if Apple's plans are already concentrating on 10.5 and of course 10.6 which is being mentioned, ie. support for Garageband 4.x in 10.5 is fine but flaky for earlier OS versions.

3.6.13 installed and bookmarks went away, won't open backup to restore, won't import and won't create new bookmarks Thanks.

Don't know what else I can add, except that I opened it today and my last browser session with open tabs is lost, and FF didn't recognize that fact, as it usually does.

I can add that I have multiple bookmark files saved to my Time Machine (Mac). The only corrupted file is the one from today when all the bookmarks disappeared. However, when I try to restore any of them, Firefox says the file cannot be restored. I saved an html copy and looked the files, and they are fine.

Apple Script won't create new folder

Hi all,
First of all, let me explain that in no particular way I am any good with applescript. I find it confusing at the best of times. I've got a bit of code that will check to see if a new folder is created in a specific location. If a new folder is created, then it will copy the name of the folder and create a new folder with the same name in a different place. The reason for this is that I separate my file types (I'm a photographer) and I keep my RAW files in one folder, my PSD files in another, my JPEGs in another and so on. The current code I have worked up until I installed Yosemite as well as Server on my mac mini. Here's the code:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
     set p to POSIX file "/Volumes/Projects/1. Raw"
     try
          tell application "Finder"
               repeat with item_ in added_items
                    if kind of item_ is "Folder" then --if its a folder then make another in Ra
                         make new folder at p with properties {name:item_}
                    end if
               end repeat
          end tell
     on error
          display dialog "Error occurred"
          return
     end try
end adding folder items to
The action is set to the JPEG folder, where an application automatically adds a folder (for this example, I'll use "z. test").
z. Test is detected in the JPEG folder, and then the folder is replicated across to the other separating folders ready for when any new files are added. Trouble is, the error occurred dialog box shows up. I have the appropriate permissions for the hard drives that the folders reside on, and are replicated to the subfolders too.
Is there anyway of finding out what the error is that's occurring? Or am I missing something since upgrading to Yosemite/Server? Any help would be most appreciated!

Hi,
You can't rename an item with an object (the item_ is an object of type alias), use the name of item_
To know the error, use the parameter in on error block.
Try this :
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
    try
        set p to "/Volumes/Projects/1. Raw" as POSIX file as alias
        tell application "Finder"
            repeat with item_ in added_items
                if kind of item_ is "Folder" then --if its a folder then make another in Ra
                    set tName to name of item_
                    make new folder at p with properties {name:tName}
                end if
            end repeat
        end tell
    on error err
        activate
        display dialog "Error occurred : " & err
    end try
end adding folder items to

Workgroup Manager won't create home directories; no error message

This is quite frustrating. For the past 3 years or so I have used the same procedure to add new users to my LDAP directory:
1) In Workgroup Manager, click the New User button
2) Assign name and password under the basic tab
3) Assign group memberships under the Groups tab
4) Under the Home tab, select the right place (nfs://my.server.org/Volumes/Users), click Create Home Now
5) Click Save
Suddenly, when I try to do this yesterday, workgroup manager won't create home directories anymore. I could probably do it manually, but I'm not sure how to get all the right skeleton setup in there. But my main question is, why doesn't this work anymore? Why can't I at least get an error message instead of being silently ignored?
I share admin duties with other people, so it's possible someone installed an update recently; all I can really say is that I'm running Leopard Server 10.5.8 right now, and can find out whatever else is relevant.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for the pointer to createhomedir - that did indeed do the trick. (How on earth do people find these little nuggets).
I hesitate to mark this as solved however - it's a functioning workaround, but does nothing to explain why on earth the GUI suddenly stopped functioning.
But in the (likely) event that that question never gets answered, thanks again for letting me get on with working!

Firefox will not start. Open profile manager. Delete old profile. Create new profile. Click start firefox. Firefox starts. Close firefox. Click start, "Mozilla Firefox", FireFox DOES NOT start. Help!?

Firefox will not start.
Run profilemanager and delete old profile - create new profile - click run firefox from profile manager and firefox opens.
Close firefox and try to reopen. Will not open. Follow above procedure again and foerefox opens until closed them will not open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Last week ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

Thanks for your help. I had tried starting Firefox in safe-mode before I posted this request, but it did not work. I tried to restore the system to an earlier version, but that made everything worse. Two accounts were unusable and one sort of worked, so I reloaded the operating system and now firefox works, for how long, I don't know. But thanks again for your suggestion.

Illustrator CS4 opens but won't create a new document

Hi,
I've got an Illustrator CS4 problem. I can launch Illustrator CS4 and it launches quite happily. However, when i create a new document nothing happens. When I open a document nothing happens. I'm a local admin on my PC. It's running Windows XP SP3. I've re-installed Illustrator to see if that fixed the problem but it didn't. I have Photosop CS4 on and it opens documents etc without a problem.
Cheers
Steven

If you cannot create new docs, it doesn't see its templates, most likely. For whatever reason they are either really not there or simpyl blocked by the operating system due to permission issues. At least one of them must exist or else the dialog won't open up. Check the program directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Support Files\Required\New Document Profiles) and your user home directory. Other than that it could of course always be more generic graphics card problems...

IPad (4th Gen Retina Display Wi-Fi) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. Any other solution?

iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. This is timely and aggravating. Any other solution?
I have also tried a hard reset. I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music".
Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?

Successful experience with Apple Care.
If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
Here's the fix that worked for me:
1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg ( * this may or may not be there * )
4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad.

E72 unable to create new sip profile

I am trying to create new sip profile from options>settings>connection>sip settings
nohing happens when I select new sip profile using default profile
I hav already reset the phone using *#7780# but problem is still there
please help ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

*#7780# does not reset the phone. It just restores factory default settings.
In order to reset the phone you need to use *#7370# instead. Back up everything except your settings beforehand because this does erase the phone's C: drive entirely.

And now that my contract has expired, I have some options. Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave. The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier. I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down. And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice. Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.
