Default on Quit is Save. Why have Apple done this? How do I safely work around it?

I've just installed Mavericks on my new iMac.
OK, it's bad enough that "Save as..." is removed from the default menu and you have to hold down alt to get to it. Why do that..?
Far far worse though is that if you close an app without saving then it offers no options but just overwrites your last saved file without asking!
So I opened an image from a time lapse sequence in Preview and tried a few tweaks to see how it might look. I intended to do stuff to the whole sequence later in Lightroom. When I finished I closed Preview without saving. To my horror the image was permanently altered! I never asked it to do this.
What madness is this? This is system wide right? So how do I get it to just close apps without saving..?
Not happy.
Thanks for any help.

Got the correct character, but remove the space between the s of "As" and the ellipsis, as VikingOSX mentioned.
Using three periods will work - sometimes. But I've seen all three of these happen using periods:
1) Both the correct Save As… and the incorrect Save As... (made with periods) show up in an application menu.
2) Nothing shows up in the menus with Save As as a choice.
3) The incorrectly spelled version with the periods is in the menu, but the app ignores it when chosen.

  • Why have apple made such a great item in the ipad2, and then just ruined it by air print, I have a Kodak wireless, and I am not paying stupid ink prices, the cost of air printers is huge, and the ink worse, why have they ruined a good item.

    AirPrint,,,, WHy?      Why have apple robbed us yet again, AirPrint, is useless, or buy another printer that apple have gained massive revenue from, the iPads are great but very high priced, and then you have to buy another high priced printer with high priced inks, I use a wifi Kodak, why should I buy another.
    You have to mess about with other apps and then have your other computer on, what's all that about Apple. Why have they ruined a really good thing.
    I cannot get my printer to work, and might just sell this stupid gadget, I am so annoyed at apple playing god with things, if you want it to work you have to jailbreak it, and the up pos Apple again, if you break it we will not repair it, that tells you exactly that they are playing god, wake up apple and smell the coffee.

    I have a Kodak wifi printer and print using the app Print Magic.  I do not need to have any of my home computers on to do this as they have nothing to do with wifi printing from my iOS devices (if you do not have a wifi printer and are sharing the printer off another computer, then of course, that computer needs to be on and connected to your wifi network).
    You can post with all the hyperbole you want, but none of us have any inside information as to why Apple's devices and iOS do certain things a certain way, or why they do not do things in the particular specific way you wish them to.  Airprint does not work with Kodak printers at this time.  There are numerous apps that will allow you to print to just about any wifi printer.

  • Why have apple not launced new airport express 802.11ac version

    Why have apple not launced new airport express 802.11ac version, when recently launching new Airport Extreme Base Station and new Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac versions?
    Do you think they will launch one soon as wanting to extend my WI-FI network but don't want to purchase current Airport Express 802.11n version if a new model is due to be on sale in the near future as would prefer latest models/technology.
    Please advise
    Regards

    Sorry, but no one here on a user-to-user support forum will be able to tell you what a notoriously secretive company like Apple will do or when they might do it. We are all users.....just like you.
    You would need to ask Apple about this, although I would be very surprised if you get an answer with any real information.

    I have done this but it does not work with one of my albums and I dont know why??

    That would be it. Sometimes you can tweak the album & artist names enough for iTunes to download matching art from the store, or you could add a bonus track featuring 1 second of silence and attach artwork to that, or you could convert the files to Apple Lossless.

  • Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, BT have checked and improved line still not working?

    Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, other users are on ipads and BT have checked and improved line but I still have an intermittent/no connection?

    You must tell us the whole setup.. what is the main router?? How are the express connected to each other?
    On ipad it works ok?? But you are on a computer?? MBP early 2011 running Lion?? That doesn't work.. even if you are right next to the main router??
    Plugged in by ethernet does it work??
    Have you installed a wireless diagnostic program.. ?? Actually Lion has one installed but hidden I believe.
    Later version bought it to the surface.
    About Wireless Diagnostics
    If you do run Lion please install the 5.6 airport utility as it will give you loads more info on how the units are connected.. and link speeds for extend wireless.
    How to load 5.6 into later Lion & ML
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • I now have 6 iphones, apple tv, ipad. how do they all work on the match

    I now have 6 iphones, apple tv, ipad. how do they all work on the match

    Go to your computer, activea iTunes match -- it will upload from your computer the songs it does not have in its library.  Once done, turn iTunes match on on each device.  Depending on your library size, it may take a few minutes before each device can access the songs.  WHen you stream from iCloud to your device, a small amount of space (cache) is used.  To recover that space, turn iTunes match off, wait a minute, then back on and it comes back.  This is really important on the iPHone if you don't have a lot of free space.

  • I have apple TV  this is second time   My money goes down to drain  not even load a movie   To night   I was watching  movie but  stop never come back .what  could be the reason?

    I have apple TV  this is second time   My money goes down to drain  first time not even load a movie   To night   I was watching  movie but  stop never come back .what  could be the reason?

    I had the exact same thing happen ... for the second time.  I'm done renting movies on Apple TV that I cannot watch, and don't get my money back.  I have a strong Internet connection, and about 10 minutes into a movie and it stops and says that the movie will be ready to view in 55 hours.  Rediculous ... and frustrating.  I don't know how to fix this, and I disagee with the other person responding to you who said it was your network.  I have a strong network, running through an Airport Extreme -- and this problem persists.  I'm done.

    My headphone jack is a little screwy i have to hold or put my headphones a certain way for me to hear what ever i am listening to. How do i fix this? if apple fixes this how much will it be?

    Hello mr_sillypants,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:
    No sound through stereo headset
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
