Don't want iCloud as default destination for Saves.
Since the introduction of iCloud, some of my apps, such as Pages and TextEdit, insist on using iCloud as the default destination for saving a document-- which is something I almost never do. (I like keeping my documents on my hard drive, not on Apple's remote servers, thank you very much.)
This new behavior is annoying, because formerly I could depend on my Save windows to point to the folders I'd previously saved to, so I didn't have to keep navigating back to them. Also, because now the Save windows are collapsed by default, I first have to choose a destination other than iCloud by pressing the disclosure button, then wait for the full Save window to open before I can go to the folder I want.
This is not an improvement, nor a convenience. It is a pain in the ***.
Is anybody aware of a way to return to the previous state of affairs?
Oooo !

what will happen to the stuff in my keychain after today? I don't want iCloud. Can I keep the keychain in my system under lion? Can someone please help me?
Thank you Sig. Well I keep all my passwords in my keychain. I'm concerned I'll lose them after today. I understand that keychain will be obsolete after today. I don't want icloud either, because I don't want all my personal info on a server. I want to keep my personal information in my system. Am I making any sense? Can you make any suggestions or offer any insights around this?

I lost my iPhone a few days ago and I put it on the lost mode. I don't want to give up looking for it. If a person stole it, is there a way for them to get into it or is it locked? I don't want to give up!!! But if there is a way that they could get in and take over my phone with a new number without me deactivating the iPhone and activating a different phone with my number.
lost mode don't depend of the sim card. If you take your Iphone on Lost mode... anybody can use it with the original card sim or with an other one.
Did you try to localise it ?
But hope that thief don't make a restore of the Iphone... Call your Mobile Operator to try to block the IMEI Number. -
I am an exchange student for the year and I would like to by an iphone that i can use in France also, so I need an unlocked one but i don't want to pay to much for it... What should I do?
What do you mean what should you do? Just because you don't want to pay too much for a phone, doesn't make the price any cheaper. If you can't afford the price of an unlocked phone, then you don't, or can't, buy one.

How to set default preset for Save for Web
Following the demise of my laptop, I have installed PSE8 (Windows) on my new one.
On my old machine, the default preset for Save for Web was JPEG High
On the new installation, the default is GIF and you have to manually scroll through the presets every time to apply the JPEG High preset.
Is it possible to change the default preset. If so, how.

I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G. My son updated the software with Icloud. I do not like it, it drains my battery. How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud). Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well. It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.
Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
As for icloud, go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
As for battery drain...
Look through this...
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh: turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
Also try a reboot: press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go. -

HT204053 I don't want iCloud anymore.
I got an email saying they were charging me 10.99 and upgrading to 20 g of iCloud storage. I don't even use it and don't want it. How do I cancel it? I don't use Apple devices and don't need to pay to upgrade. If anything, I need the minimum FREE storage. Help! How to make sure they don't upgrade and charge me.
Hi catmartinez3,
You can downgrade your iCloud storage by following the instructions in this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4874
Downgrade your iCloud plan
You can choose a lower-tier storage plan to replace your higher-tier plan (for example, a 10 GB plan to replace a 20 GB plan). The downgrade will take effect on the anniversary of when your storage upgrade was purchased.
iOS 5 or later
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Change Storage Plan.
Tap Downgrade Options and enter your Apple ID password.
Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
Tap Done.
OS X
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
Click Manage in the lower-right corner.
Click Change Storage Plan in the upper-right corner.
Click Downgrade Options.
Enter your Apple ID password, then click Manage.
Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
Click Done.
Windows
Open the iCloud Control Panel:
In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen and click the iCloud tile.
In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Click Manage.
Click Change Storage Plan.
Click Downgrade Options.
Enter your Apple ID password, then click Manage.
Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
Click Done.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

In the past I have bought 2 series of entourage, I went to buy series 3 only to spot a bundle of series 1-4 this works out cheaper but there isn't a complete my series option.
I don't really want to pay for the first 2 series again but also I don't want to waste storage space by duplicating 2 series
Any clues on how to sort this outiTunes can only put up what the studios supply them. You can contact iTunes directly if you want an official answer.
TV shows wouldn't count towards any icloud storage. -

Can I set a default folder for "save as"?
Hello,
I opened a pdf file attachment to an email by double-clicking it. When I wanted to save the file using File/Save As... , the folder/directory shown was the location where MS Outlook placed the attachment.
I am using Acrobat Reader XI (latest version) on a Windows 7 64bit PC. I could not find any method to change this default behavior of Save As.
Is it possible to change the behavior of the Save As function to use one or more of the following:
a fixed user-defined folder/directory
the last folder/directory used for the Save As dialog (which should be displayed with the full path) !
the same location where the currently open file was opened (this is the current & only behavior)
It would be most useful if the default behavior could be selected among these options in the Edit/Preferences... dialog. Additionally, in the Save As dialog these same options should be displayed with the default selected, thus giving the user the ability to change the behavior for a specific Save As operation.
If there is no way to do this (e.g.. with an "undocumented" feature or command-line switch), would Adobe consider implementing this?
Thank you!apparently Adobe doesn't give a sh!t about it's users. The possibility to change default behaviour has been removed with the introduction of version 10 and hasn't come back since. For over 3 years people are complaining about this on the forum and are being offered poor workarounds (create a shortcut in your temp folder pointing to your desktop? for fck sake!)
Adobe employees will tell you 'default system behaviour' ******** and basicly tell u to go finger ur bu.thole.
I use to buy their products (adobe creative suite) but the fact they don't give 2 sh!ts about their customers made me pick another vendor.
Best solution i can offer u is just use ANY of the 10.000 other freeware utilities that do offer the basic functionality u'd expect. -
Need to specify default filename for SaveAs
I am using the command app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); in the click event of a button. Is there anyway that I can specify a default filename for the user? I do want the user to get the Save As window and the ability to change the name if possible.
The form is generated by the RenderForm Java script, and the name being generated as a default for the SaveAs window is RenderForm.pdf
Thanks,
VelvetChris, I think you missed this one.
I think you want to change the name when calling app.SaveAs via javascript from the client not on the server. Since app.executeMenuItem("saveAs") will not take any parameters to suggest a file name. I think you will have to use doc.saveAs which will allow the name to be specified. This would require a trustedFunction which may or will not work unless you have known users. You will also need to prompt for the file name before making the call.
Here is some untested code to get you started...
You will need to create a trustedFunction (see AcroJS.pdf for details) ..
saveFunc = app.trustedFunction(function (filename) {
app.beginPriv();
try {
event.target.saveAs({cPath: filename});
} catch (err) {
app.alert("Error: " + err);
app.endPriv();
Code for your event...
var suggestedName = "MyPDFName.pdf";
// Note This will only work if you know where they will be saving it
var cPathToSaveTo = "/c/temp/";
var cResponse = app.response({
cQuestion: "What name would you like to use for this PDF?",
cTitle: "File Name",
cDefault: suggestedName,
cLabel: "File Name:" })
if(cResponse != null)
saveFunc(cPathToSaveTo + cResponse );
Hope this helps.
