I have a MAC Mini. The keychain looks very different from what is described in posts online. There is no menu that allows import. I can't drag and drop certificates. I am trying to create a .P12 from a .cer I have on my desktop from downloads but can't get my certificates in there. I have spent hours trying to figure this out.

Hey there jwardzala,
You mentioned your screenshot showing there is no File > Import Items available. However, if you take a look at the menu bar located at the top of your display, you'll see the Apple menu, Keychain Access written bold, then File. This is where you will click, then choose Import. If you're still having problems locating it, you'll want to contact Apple Support for help.
Have a good one!

Hello jwardzala,
Are you not able to select Import from the File menu? As described here: Import and export keychain items using Keychain Access on Mac
Import and export keychain items using Keychain Access on Mac
You can export some keychain items (for example, certificates and keys) from one computer and then import them into Keychain Access on another.
Note: You can’t export passwords from Keychain Access.
Import keychain items
1. In the Keychain Access appon your Mac, choose File > Import Items.
2. Navigate to the keychain items file you want to import and select it.
3. In the Destination Keychain pop-up menu, choose the keychain you want to import to, then click Open.
To learn more, what happens when you follow the steps below to import to Keychain Access? Are you receiving any errors? Are you using iCloud Keychain?
Let us know, so we're on the same page. We'll take it from there.
Take care.
Thank you for your response. As you can see in the image I posted there isn't a menu item to be able to do that. There is no Import Export option. It also does not allow drop and drag. I have spent many hours studying and trying to get this to work. I have the IOS distribution certificate on the desktop. I need the .p12 to be able to do the build in Flipabit. I inherited the unfinished app in flipabit, finished the app, got it in Google Play and now need to get accepted by Apple. I have tried both desktop and icloud.
