Editing, then closing, automatically saves. No option to "not save?"

(iPhoto 6.0.4) Is this a default feature? When I open a photo and do any editing, then double click it to reduce it to thumbnail size, iPhoto automatically saves what I did. Isn't there an option somewhere to tell it to just close but not save, or to "save as?" Any graphics apps that I use (Photoshop, Graphic Converter, etc.), always ask when I go to close the image whether I want to save what I was just doing. Not iPhoto. The only way I can figure to get around this is create a duplicate before experimenting with any edits. Any help? Thanks

I'm holding out for someone to tell me of a preference adjustment or something that allows me to have that decision making.
Don't hold your breath, because there isn't one. Your options are undo the changes you made or revert to the original as Smtr said.

  • I am making my first keynote presentation.  I transferred the slides from a power point.  I did not use a 'theme' from keynote.  Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu.  What have I done wrong

    I am making my first keynote presentation.  I transferred the slides from a power point.  I did not use a 'theme' from keynote.  Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu.  What have I done wrong

    When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range.  Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote.  Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
    As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation.  Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
    You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
    And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs.  Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
    Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get.  There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') .  See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there.  Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

  • I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.
    Be well...

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • The "save as" option does not show up when selecting the "file" selection

    Recently installed OS X 10.9.2  When using Numbers the "Save As" option no longer is displayed under "File".  The help screen indicates that it should.  Any suggestions?

    AS,
    Thte Save As... command is an optional command in the File menu. To reveal this command, press the Option/Alt key while viewing the File menu.

  • I want to Hide Back option but Not Save option when using transaction iview

    Hi,
    Sap Guru's
    I am new in Sap EP.... I am using Transaction iviews in the portal....  I want to Hide Back option but not the Save Option of transactions....I want to hide it from  potal ...... Is it Possible.....
    I have done settings in  SICF Tcode in ECC system as Following:
    ~Webgui = 1
    ~Webgui_simple_toolbar = 160, 2, 4, 16, 32, 64 and some more values... It is hiding the Back option but also the Save Option....
    I also want to disable commands as Ctlr  + S , shift + F3
    Suggest me some solution so that this can be done from portal instead of ECC systems.....
    Thank's in Advance
    Regards-
    Sumeet Sharma

    Hai,
      Kalyan,
    I have done this problem using SICF but instead of Hiding Back option .. I have allowed a user to run only one transaction using an iview....
    Put following parameter in SICF:
    ~webgui = 1
    ~theme = Sl
    ~SINGLETRANSACTION = 1
    By this configuration user will be able to execute only one transaction i.e  assigned him in his transaction iview.... It's an alternate solution of hiding back......
    when user click front screen back option of an transaction iview he will get message ... Logged off....

  • Cannot save as PDF - "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use..."

    I have a number of PSD files I've created and I'm trying to save them as PDFs.
    I can Save for Web and Devices, I can save as a .gif, .eps., and every other format I've tested, but I cannot save as a PDF. I get the error:
    "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use or was left open by another application."
    I'm running Adobe Master Collection CS5 with Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.0.4 x64) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
    I have a 928 GB HD with 697 GB free.
    I have rebooted and tried saving the files immediately after I reboot. I have killed my virus scanner. I have killed a number of other possible culprits including Acrotray.exe and CS5ServiceManager.ext
    I have run Process Explorer as recommended by Microsoft and found no applications using the file. I've also tried saving the file to my external hard drive and/or renaming the file with only rare luck.
    Nothing seems to fix it.
    The boards seem to suggest Adobe isn't taking responsibility for this and pointing it back to the OS or other software. I'm willing to believe them if someone can show me how/where to kill whatever process it is - but at this point, all my indicators point back to Photoshop.

    Here is a clip from a past post where user could not drag and drop files to hard drive.
    To my great relief I have now sorted this issue and offer the following as the Correct Answer. My sincere and grateful thanks go to Curt and Yammer, above, who have helped me so much in sorting this Windows 7 issue which is clearly very relevant to Bridge users also. Any slowness to grasp what they have been saying is down to me!
    The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
    If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
    The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
    First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
    Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
    Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
    Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
    Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
    Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
    Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
    I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
    On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.

  • InD blocking Ps to save a file / Could not save * because the file is already in use error

    Many users have reported a  Photoshop Could not save * because the file is already in use error in many different circumstances.
    I place raw jpgs in InDesign document, then open them in Photoshop via Edit original order to adjust them. On random occasions Ps gives me that annoying error. So i found a little trick to avoid saving that image under a different name and relinking it plus reloading Ps since the error repeats on other pictures to.
    All you have to do is: when Ps gives error, (Cmd-Tab) switch to InD, directly select the worked jpg in image frame (one that you try to save in Ps)  and simply move it left-right (or move it and Undo). Now you can save it without problem.

    JPEG is a "lossy" compression format. Every time you save as jpeg you recompress and throw away a little more information. In addition, jpeg does not support transparency or layers, both very useful features for woring with images. For example, you can add an adjustment layer in Photoshop to do your adjustments non-destructively for may of the things that you can do using Image > Adjustments... which will change your pixel data permanently. Throw away an adjustment layer and you image data is untouched. Also, ID allows you to place a layered image and control layer visibility from within ID, making it possible to multi-purpose a single file by showing or hiding various layers.

  • Firefox 3.6.3 does not save any history, does not save passwords. I have read the forum and checked my settings (ok), started in Safe mode (still does not work).

    Firefox 3.6.3 does not save history, nor passwords. I have read the forum and checked my settings in Privacy (all ok), I restarted Firefox in Safe mode (it still does not remember history or passwords). Running on XP. I think these problems started when I upgraded to 3.6.3.

    I had the same problem after an upgrade to 3.6.3.
    I was using password manager for a number of web sites before. Not using cookies but password manager.
    After 3.6.3 auto upgrade it did not work.
    I could not enter private browsing mode.
    When I looked in tools>options>security at my saved passwords the list was blank. The button in the saved passwords dialog that normally says "Show saved passwords" was actually blank (the button was there but there was no text on it).
    I did have my old bookmarks and was able to create new ones but oddly the bookmark all tabs menu function wouldn't work.
    I decided to reinstall firefox 3.6.3. There is no way something with that many bugs got out!
    I was able to get the full firefox executable from http://mozilla.com
    I closed all firefox windows and ran the installation.
    After re-running the install and starting firefox everything was fine. It must have been a bad download or the original install got messed up somehow.
    I hope you have the same good fortune I had!

  • Batching SaveAs in CS6 will not save PDF Compatible

    So I'm using a script that I wrote to bring in files that were converted from CorelDraw to EPS (this is the best conversion process to preserve text and drawing assets).  Basically the script takes the art in the EPS, groups it, places a rectangular border around the art and centers them.  We do this so that they come into InDesign correctly sized.  The problem is, it used to be 100% automated, just about, however now the saveas action command will not remember that "Save as PDF Compatible" needs to be set to true.  When I do a saveas command, it's check by default, but when the saveas command is batched, it does NOT do it that way.  When I try to bring batched AIs into InDesign, it's text that says it was not saved as PDF Compatible.  Am I going to have to script a save function to get control of the saveas settings?  I don't understand why PDF compatible is checked by default, yet batching saveas saves as if it unchecked it.  Any help would be much appreciated as this is throwing a wrench in my automation.

    I know that I can handle the saveas via script and avoid this issue, however I'd prefer let the action portion handle the saveas.  You understand what I'm saying though, right?  The record action button apparently isn't logging the checked box for PDF compatible, though when you click saveas so the record records your action, the dialog shows it as pdf compatible.  In the batch function, if I say override save functions, it works perfectly, but I have to click yes or no on a dialog every single drawing it goes through.  So are you saying I just need to script it because the actions setup is bugged?

  • Firefox 16.0.1 warns on closing multiple tabs but options set not to warn

    Firefox just updated itself to version 16.0.1. Now, when attempting to close multiple tabs, I get the "Confirm close" warning even though the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option is unchecked.
    I tried checking that option, confirming the change, then unchecking that option again & confirming the 2nd change, too. This has made no difference. Firefox is not obeying the option setting.
    The problem didn't occur before the update to 16.0.1 but did occur in the first session afterwards & has persisted since.

    The more I encounter this piece of stupidity, the more annoying it gets. The assumption that '''no''' user knows what he/she is doing is one of the things that made Windows Vista such a disaster. Firefox shouldn't be copying failure. If Mozilla had time to cause this problem in version 16, it has no excuse for waiting until version 18 to undo the damage. It has time to reverse the change '''now'''.
    There's a good argument for the warning option to be enabled by default. There's none whatever for making it compulsorily enabled, regardless of the user's wishes.
    It is, of course, possible that someone will go into the options dialog, disable the warning option & then close multiple tabs by mistake. In that situation, it's the user's own fault. If it's too much trouble to undo the error, the user can re-enable the warning option & stop it happening again.
    If there's unsaved data on one of the pages, that page ought to (& most will) warn the user that closing/leaving the page will lose the data. If there's no warning, it's the fault of the page code -- provided, of course, that the browser raises the relevant event when the tab is about to be closed. If the browser isn't raising that event for some reason (e.g., because the tab with the page isn't the active tab), '''that''' is the problem requiring attention.

  • When quiting Firefox 3.6.17 you get 'SAVE & QUIT' option but not with Firefox 4. How would I do it. Email in detail at barsideboo@hotmail.co.uk

    When upgraded to Firefox 4

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
