Why can't I add certificates to the default firefox profile?

I am using the NSS certutil to add a certificate to users profiles on OS X (10.8-10) running Firefox ESR 31.4.
There is no problem adding the cert to existing users profiles, however I want to add it so that new users who log in will automatically have the cert installed.
As I understand it, I should be able to install the cert to a default profile in the application that will then go out to new users when they run FF for the first time, however this has not been the case in my testing. I have been running the cert util, as root, on the directory '/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/browser/defaults/profile'.
The command ('/opt/local/bin/nss-certutil -A -i mycert.cer -n "My Cert" -t "C,," -d "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/defaults/profile"') runs without error and places three files in there: cert8.db, key3.db, secmod.db
When i log in as a new user on the system however, they do not have the cert. What am I missing?

Turns out it was a permissions issue, the files created by the certutil in the defaults folder got root only permissions given to them. I opened them up and it's working fine.

Why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?

why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox? I have adobe acrobat pro XI. I can open a pdf in acrobat pro and am able to add text to a pdf, but when I open a pdf in firefox, the "add text" option is not available.

When you install Acrobat XI you are also installing Reader for use in the browser. Reader is "sandboxed", or as it says in the Preferences, it is in "Protected Mode". Acrobat does not understand the concept of running in sandboxed memory (sandbox is a security feature to prevent the bad guy from exploiting a memory error and getting into a memory address where they can do damage to your computer) so to help protect Acrobat users the same way Reader users are protected we just install Reader along with Acrobat, but it is only used in the browser (part of this is because the bad guys use web sites as their primary method of distributing corrupted PDF files that can cause problems).
That said, because you are in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled prior to being posted to the web site (or opened in the browser). Once the file is Reader Enabled you should be able to add the text annotations.

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

Why can't we add programs to the list of right-click "open with" in Bridge?

I've followed various discussions and can find no official solution, nor any easy-to-follow solution for this issue.
What is the point of having bridge if we are unable to right click from bridge and open any image in any of the CC programs.
Am I missing something here?
also, I was fairly convinced that I could do this the last time I used bridge, last week, and now I can't.
I have used the "update cloud" today.

What is the point of having bridge if we are unable to right click from bridge and open any image in any of the CC programs.

Maybe you can specify a bit more of your problem?
In basic, having a correct install automatically adds all CC applications to the list above the line and most of the non adobe applications under the line.
You can add a new default using Bridge Preferences File type associations and if this is not in the list at the bottom of the pop up menu is a browse button to search your disk.
But you simple can't open any image in any Adobe application because not all adobe CC apps support all file types or can't even view images.
The Open Width list also varies per file type. For instance a Raw or DNG file gives you only the CC - applications with a Raw converter and that narrows it down to PS.
A .mov file only provides After Effects and Premiere Pro etc etc.
And you have to option to place all kinds of files in ID, AI, Ps etc. using the right mouse click menu.
If your behavior differs then first start refreshing preferences as a start.

Why can't I add artboards using the New Artboard button in the Artboards panel?

I cannot add artboards using the New Artboard button in the Artboards panel; I can only draw additional artboards with the artboard tool. I was able to create additional artboards earlier using the button in the panel, but suddenly (in one file) it stopped working and it displays the message "Cannot create artboard outside the canvas", even though I'm not attempting to create the artboards outside the canvas. I only ever had four artboards in the file. I deleted three of them, and now I can't even create a second artboard using the button. Even though I can use the artboard tool to create more artboards, my preference 99% of the time is to use the button in the panel. If I start a new file, the button allows me to create up to eight artboards. After the eighth, it then displays the "Cannot create..." message. But in the new file, I can delete the additional seven artboards and then add them back using the button. So I'm not sure what's preventing me from creating additional artboards using the button in my current file. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

put the existing artboards to a location in the file where there's enough space to the right and down.

Why Can't I Add Buttons To The Browser?

I deleted the "Medium Icon" button in the Browser and realised I needed it back.
So I right-clicked to open the button menu and chose the medium icon from the "Display" section.
There was no way I could get it (or any other button) into the browser. As I got the button over the browser it had a little x by the side of it. However, when I moved the button anywhere near the other windows they were only too willing to open up to accept it!
The only way I could get the medium icon button into the browser was to restore the defaults.
Why couldn't I get the browser to accept buttons?
Ian.

Thanks Tom but it wasn't the preferences this time.
I've just been away from the computer for a couple of hours and after reading your reply, I suddenly had an idea!
The Browser had been set to its narrowest width to accommodate a large Viewer and Canvas.
All I had to do was stretch it out wider and it accepted the buttons willingly.
What caught me out originally was that I was able to delete existing buttons but not replace them. You would think that if there was space for them to exist, there would be space to replace any that were subsequently deleted.
Strangely enough the narrow Browser would still accept extra buttons when asked to restore the defaults.

HT201087 Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app? Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking.

Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app? Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking.

I have an iPhone and occasionally use it for photos, but my main camera is NOT an iPhone. To be forced to go outside Apple for a product when Apple had perfectly good products available is ludicrous. But it is what it is, apparently.

Why can't I add playlist on my old iPhone iTunes on my computer? Can add it on my phone manually but I need to do it on the computer..

Why can't I add playlist on my old iPhone iTunes on my computer? Can add it on my phone manually but I need to do it on the computer.
This is an old iPhone that I am only using as an Ipod. It is an Iphone 3GS and I now have an iPhone 4S.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.
Read this support article and pay attention to the information at the very end.

Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious, common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?

Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious, common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?
I've seen this requested in several past Lightroom versions.
Is Adobe not addressing this basic feature for a reason?, I mean, even Aperture has this feature, it can't be that hard to add? Can it?
Maybe Adobe isn't reading the feature request?

Honestly, I am hardly qualified to even guess - there are tons of bugs reported that would be easy to fix, but aren't, features that would be useful and easy enough to implement, but aren't. Things like focus points which seem like a no brainer but are never implemented - your guess is as good as mine..
But to be clear: focus points are different for different cameras, and are stored in proprietary metadata. - not impossible to get at, obviously, but requires some programming/maintenance..
Worth noting: Apple is shutting down their Aperture business. Yeah, they support focus points and all kinds of good stuff, but I guess Aperture isn't a real money-maker for them (lotsa maintenance work, but not a lot of revenue) - relatively small market.
Adobe has been working on Revel, and Lightroom Mobile.., instead of focus points (and bug fixes, and...) - my guess: that's where the money is, or where they think it is.
Cheers,
Rob

Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod

Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod. My ipod is 60 gb version 1.3. I think a 5th generation

Kristy,
Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks? To check, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes locate it's audibooks tab and make sure it is set to them.

For a transition to work, you need handles... basically, enough footage to overlap each other so that the transition can grab from both sides... your clip is merely 7 frames, way too short to be able to add a transition...
I've used the "joining two pieces of fabric" analogy before, but I think it was too girly.. Perhaps another way to think about it, is to think of a "dovetail joint" used in wood working... the two pieces of wood need to grab onto each other in order to hold together...
Anyhow, doing a quick search to perhaps better explain, I found this:

Why can't I add HD videos to my iPod touch?

So I recently bought an iPod touch, and I haven't had trouble with it until now. I downloaded a free TV show extra thing and it's in HD & SD, and it downloaded fine and everything. But when I tried to add it to my iPod, a popup comes up with the message: "Blah blah blah" was not copied to the iPod "Michaela's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
Why? I tried to do the "Advanced Settings" and convert it, but the convert option is grayed out and I can't choose it. I thought the iPod touch could play HD (and I do have another HD video on it currently), so why can't I add this new HD/SD video to my iPod? And I know there's enough space because I have 24.6 GB free space.

It's the screen format see below.
The iPad and iPhone 4 can play High Definition (HD) content and Standard Definition (SD) content. iPods and the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS can play Standard Definition (SD) content. To find what video formats are supported, see the Tech Specs page, click your device's product family, and then your specific model. All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.
