Does auto-save and version work with old apps like pages '09?

Hello,
I'm new Lion user. I tried auto-save and version with textedit and it works.
But i'm not sure it works with pages '09.

It does work if you install the update from yesterday.

Do Auto Save and Version work for Office for Mac-documents?

Do Auto Save and Version work for "Office for Mac 2011"-documents?

No, just certain Apple apps right now. Preview, iWorks, textedit come to mind. Anything else?

Auto Save and Versions not working

Auto Save and Versions are not working in pages or numbers. I've worked on a project for over five minutes when I "Xed" out the drop down box opened up and asked if I wanted to save. Any ideas why? Also, how do you open up versions?

There is the problem with that sentiment. I don't like the loss of "save as" either. I think the new save/duplicate paradigm has more steps and is poorly implemented to boot. Yet, people complain far more about Versions and Autosave than they do about "save as"? Why on earth would anyone complain about Autosave? There is no user interface change involved with Autosave. It is entirely in the background. If you don't like Autosave, you are free to randomly delete files from your machine and from Time Machine if you want. I don't see what the point of that would be, but it would give you the same effect of not having Autosave. There is more a user impact to Versions, but it still a really cool feature. Why would you not want to have access to old versions of your document? It isn't going to eat much disk space. The last time someone complained about disk space usage by versions I calculated that it would take 38 years for them to run out of space due to Versions. If you don't want to use Versions, don't click on the Versions tools. Problem solved.
I don't want people lumping clear losers (like no more "save as") with clear winners like Autosave and Versions.

Auto Save and Versions

Where can I control Auto Save and Versions? I can't find it in System Settings.
Can I control it by terminal commands?
On http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is/ Apple claims:
Versions creates a new version of a document each time you open it and every hour while you’re working.
While here http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html Apple claims:
Forget about manual saving and forge ahead with confidence. Auto Save in OS X Lion automatically saves your work, while you work, during pauses and every five minutes. And Lion saves changes in the background so you're never interrupted with progress bars.
So I wonder every five minutes or every hour? Would be nice to make sure on each Mac itself whether it auto-saves every five minutes or every hour and to actually allow its user o set the frequency.

It does both. It saves your work in the current version every 5 minutes. Every hour, it creates a new version of the document.
I haven't searched for any version settings, yet.

How do I activate auto save and versions?

How do I activate auto save & versions?

Mountain Lion. Since ML, Auto Save and Version does not work with new user accounts I am creating. The accounts I moved from Lion MBA to Mountain Lion on my RMBP 15 have it enabled.
So: ML still has the feature, but you may not access it by Preferences. It does - only on new accounts - even not work with TextEdit. With the Accout I moved from Lion to Mountain Lion no such problems.

I'm not seeing the Auto Save and Versions features

I have a document open in Pages '09 and I'm running Lion, but I am not seeing the auto save or versions features that you supposedly get my clicking on the document name. Can someone help? Do I have to turn this feature on in preferences?

I'm actually working on a Word document that Pages has converted and opened, but the document does have a title bar name. So..I have to do a manual save before auto save will start working?!?
You don't have to do a manual save. Pages will auto save the converted Word document. If you quit Pages after editing the converted document without saving, Pages will reopen the converted Word document, give it a temporary window title of "Untitiled" and have saved your edits.
I did think I see a preference setting for auto save that wasn't checked in my preferences.
I don't think Pages every had auto save. Word does though, and this may be what you're remembering.
Also, how does all this auto save and versions stuff work…
Have a read of Apple's support document titled OS X Lion: About Auto Save and Versions. This explains both and how the two features are related but different.
NB While Pages auto saves new, untitled documents it doesn't create a Version of these documents.

Hi im staying in UAE, why doesnt my interactive notification work with other apps like facebook?

why doesnt my interactive notification work with other apps like facebook?
its only working with the message app notifications.

Sounds like the iPhone is carrier locked with Vodafone and if so, it can't be used with another carrier's SIM card.
If so, only Vodafone can officially unlock the iPhone or send the unlock request to Apple.

When will Microsoft make an update for "Auto Save" and "Versions"?

Do you actually know something more about this missing function in office 2011?

There are a lot of people, myself included, that are hoping the answer to that question is "never". Hopefully, if they do, it will be something one can disable or tailor in preferences.
However, Office already has some of the basic elements of Versions and AutoSave right now. You can set documents to automatically save at any minute interval you want. And if you enable "Track Changes" within an Office document, you can essentially keep versions as you make changes. While "Track Changes" and Office's method of AutoSave is not identical to Apple's lion implementation, I like it better...mainly because you can enable the facets of the features at many levels, while with Lion's, you can't. Yeah, I know that there are workarounds, but they are time consuming to undo changes that you don't want, or accidentally make.
Imagine Lion's Autosave you can't turn off, on something like Photoshop. You open a file, apply a filter or two, and then decide you don't like the changes. Oops, Photoshop has saved the file.... then you have to go through the rigamarole of Versions to restore your original document.

Does Airport Extreme (latest version) work with Netgear DM111P

Does anyone know - will the latest Airport Extreme work with a Netgear DM111P?
If so, great. If not, what is the recommend modem to go for?
Many thanks in advance.

So, all I need to do is to disable wireless on my BT Home Hub?
Not necessarily. You could run two separate wireless networks, dedicating one to 802.11b/g clients (BT) & another to 802.11n clients (AEBSn). With the AEBSn bridged, clients on either network can still "see" each other for sharing.
How easy is it to set up a bridge on Airport Extreme?
Very; you would just need to use the AirPort Utility to make, at least, as single setting change to do so. (ref: Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))
And also, will using my BT Home Hub instead of say a Netgear Modem slow my overall internet connection / wireless speed down?
Your Internet connection speed is not controlled by the modem. Instead, it controlled by your ISP and affected by the current Internet traffic conditions. However; the router does affect the local network speeds.
Happy New Year!

Using auto save and versions

Hello all. I am new to the Apple iMac. Love it! Just downloaded Lion and am curious about Versions and Autosave but cannot seem to find any info in the Help menu. Will Versions work on Office for Mac software (ie, Office for Mac Excel and Word)?

Open Pages, Preview or TextEdit as the previous poster said, then:
i. hover your cursor round the title bar to make the arrow/upside down triangle visible
ii. click that arrow to see the menu.
Of course, you'll need to have some versions of a file in order for Versions to do anything!

Why does'nt this new version work with Norton Ver 6? My old version of Firefox did!

My old version of Firefox worked perfectly with Norton anti-virus Version 6 just purchased. I updated at you request to the new version of Firefox which now claims that I have Norton 5.5 which is not supported. This makes no sense. My secure logins and auto password does not work any more and I want that protection through Norton. Please advise me.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Does the new smart cover work with old iPad?

Hello,
as the subject
Does it work? because I'm very interested about it!

As much as I am also disappointed with this, I just had to remind myself that the original Apple iPad cover gives you the same features of standing it up and typing angle... Again, I wish it did too but I know I'm not missing out on functionality with my old iPad case...

Question about Auto Save and Versions

Hi. I'm running the latest version of Yosemite — 10.10.2
My Mac seems to be auto-saving documents, but when I click the down arrow on a document's title, I don't see the options to "Revert to Last Saved Version" or "Browse All Versions."
Since the documents are being auto-saved, I would like to have the option of reverting and browsing saved versions. Does anyone know why I'm not seeing those options?
Thanks!

Glad that helped!
Yes, I believe the way you described indeed worked in previous versions of OS X.
Enjoy your Apple gear.
