How do I SAVE AS in Numbers????

Driving me nuts - how do I 'save as' a document from numbers? If I use cmd S it disappears I know not where.........I need a drop down that will let me choose where to save it. If I use numbers help, it shows the big wobbling arrow that points to an imaginary drop down menu with 'save as' in it....
I have a MacBookAir 13" from 2013. OS X 10.9.5. 1.7Ghz Intel Core i7

There is no Save As from straight menu.
So choose save and give it a name.
Choose Rename, give it a new name. It overwrites the other file name.
Unless you do the Option (see Mende1) when you pull down the Find. Then you get Save As.
See below

How do I save as with Numbers 2.1 Lion version

ok so I've been a user for about 6 months. Moved to Lion OS X and now the "Save as" option is missing. So if I have a spreadsheet that I want to keep but modify and call something else aka using the "save as" how do I now do this?

NO, NO and NO !
Save a version doesn't give the ability to change a name. It doesn't open a dialog. This is why there is no ellipsis at the end of the menu item.
It allow us to save the changes applied to a document in the hidden folder folder
“.DocumentRevisions-V100” which exists at the root level of every volume connected to a machine running Lion.
Save… allow us to save a document which was never saved before. The ellipsis means that the feature open a dialog.
Duplicate create a replicate of the current document giving it a default name based of the name of the original minus the extension (.numbers). On a French system a replicate of azerty.numbers is named azerty - copie.
One more time the, good old rule apply : no ellipsis = no dialog.
If you don't believe me,
create a doc and save it as azerty.numbers.
Type B2 in cell B2
Save a Version
remove the contents of the cell B2
Save a Version
Type OK in the cell B2
Close the document
Re open it.
The doc will contain OK in the cell B2 and, if you look at the versions available you will see at least one with OK in B2,
one with nothing in B2
one with B2 in B2
If you have an external device, HD or memory stick, copy the document to the external device then open it.
It will contain OK in B2 but will no longer have access to the versions.
Saving a version saves nothing in the doc itself.
What save datas in a doc are :
the initial Save which create the file on disk
the automatic autosaves
the close action which in fact execute three tasks:
(1) save the document
(2) save a version matching the last state
(3) close the doc.
I put 'save the document' at 1st position but honestly I don't know if the system save the file before saving the late version or if it save the late version before saving the file.
I will try to describe every cases
(A) open an existing document
trigger Save a Version
you will not be able to give a new name.
(B) open an existing document
trigger Duplicate.
you will get a window entitled oldname - copy
look at the file menu, there is no "Save a Version" item but a "Save…" one
Trigger "Save…" This time you may edit the name and the location.
After that, you will be allowed to trigger Save a Version for both documents but this will add nothing to the docs themselves.
It's really important that it behave this way.
(a) it would be a bit annoying to send a file to a correspondant with the different intermediate versions embedded.
(b) Apple failed to deliver the required tools but I built a set of three scripts giving up the ability to extract the versions, even if the main document is corrupted. This way, assuming that you worked during two hours on a doc saving a version every ten minutes, and that two days after Numbers prove to be unable to re-open its own creation (not a rare behavior).
With my script, you will be able to extract the different versions stored in “.DocumentRevisions-V100”
Maybe the more recent will be unreadable but the one before will be readable so you will recover quite all your document.
More, as I never got explanations of the scheme corrupting the files (except when two users try to work simultaneously on a document stored on a network) it's not impossible to have a corrupted main document and a correct 'late version" in the “.DocumentRevisions-V100” folder.

How do i save numbers from iphone to sim so that i can use a regular nokia with my iphone sim card

Help, I need to send my phone for repair and only have a nokia spare, How can i save my telephone numbers onto my iphone sim, before i transfer the sim card

IIRC the sim from another phone can have data on it but the iPhone will only copy it into contacts if requested
but leaves the data there so you need to have it the other way round ie data on a phone sim that is iPhone compatible used in Nokia or what ever and also in iPhone with sim accessed in Nokia but not in iPhone
Can't guarantee but I am sure someone will shoot me down if there is a flaw in above

How do i save random numbers?

below is the coding for random numbers
public class Random {
public static void main(String[] args) {
java.util.Random rand = new java.util.Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
System.out.println(rand.nextInt(10));
}how do i save the random numbers?????

That was a quick sample. I'm guessing you're not too familiar with java. I expect the error was because you havn't imported the java.io library.
import java.io.*;
public class tester {
public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
      PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("tmp.txt"));
      java.util.Random rand = new java.util.Random();
      for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        out.println(rand.nextInt(10));
      out.close();
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
      ioe.printStackTrace();
}This will compile and run. Notice how you have declared your Random class using java.util.Random? You could have imported java.util.* or java.util.Random then used the declaration 'Random rand = .....' instead (like how i've declared the PrintWriter).

How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet as an earlier version

I have just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard. I have a spreadsheet which I have sent to a third party and they are unable to open it as they are on an earlier version of Numbers. How do I save my spreadsheet in the format which they can open?

In the current version of Numbers you can use the File Menu Export item to save to a Numbers 09 compatible file.

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later. You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back. My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
You may have Numbers '09 installed. Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save. Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

I don't believe you can.

How do I save data in a numbers spreadsheet? I am trying to convert from Excel and can't find the save button!

I am new to Imac and numbers and am currently working on my first spreadsheet but must be thick as I cannot find the save icon!

As you are no longer in M…oSoft world, you have to change your habits.
In AppleLand, there is no Save icon/button.
We have menu items or/and shortcuts.
If you imported an Excel document in Numbers under Lion, you may use :
File > Save…
or
File > Export…
or
Share > Export…
These three commands allow you to export as an Excel file.
If you want to save as a Numbers one, only
File > Save… will apply.
It would be useful to download and read
Numbers User Guide
and
iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide.

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

How do I save a stack of adjustment layers that I want to then apply instantly to another image ?

Can anyone help with the following Photoshop question please ?
I've been working on a 16bit image in PS CC on my Mac that has a stack of approximately 15 Adjustment Layers (AL's) which has taken a fair amount of work to put together and then saved as an unflattened PSD. The AL's consist of Curves, Selective Colour, Hue & Sat, Vibrance, Col Bal and Photo Filters with a variety of Masks. All AL's have been renamed with their own unique names.
My question is:
How do I save this stack of 15 AL's, as I want apply them to other similar images that where shot during a motor drive burst either side of the image mentioned above ?
I know I can achieve exactly what I want by dragging all 15 AL's from the original image on to newly opened individual images.
Although this method works absolutely perfectly and is instant I want to be able to somehow apply these AL's in an instantaneous automated way to enable me to deal with the large numbers of images that I want to apply this to.
It appears to be the case that it isn't possible to simply select the complete stack of AL's from the original image, copy them and then paste them into a new image ! If this was possible I would simply create a simple action to deal with it.
I know already that I can create an action to deal with this now, however that entails laboriously retracing what I did to the original image by saving presets to the many AL's, then reloading them, putting them in the correct order and finally renaming all of the AL's but as you'll appreciate it's a fairly long drawn out process which would take forever.
I also need a method which has instant built in flexibility for when I tweak some of the AL's settings. At this point I wouldn't want to then have to go through the whole process of re-writing an involved action.
I hope the above makes some sense to you all and that you can understand what I want to do.
I've briefly looked over the Adobe forum where many people have been trying to find unsuccessfully the answer to this question for many years. If anyone has some sort of workaround for this I would very much appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks

Why can I not save a locked Numbers document?

My Numbers is weird, slow and almost impossible to get used to. That's why I now
I still use Appleworks Spreadsheets on my Powermac for doing daily accounting updates, and
only then import a copy to Numbers for keeping copies on my MacBookAir.
I created a template in Numbers, open it for every import, then copy the content of the import
to the template. The template is named Copy 0.
To do that I will import say "12Dec01", then need to open "Copy 0" and duplicate it (so I will not lose this template) then rename the duplicate to "12Dec01". I
then open the imported "12Dec01" and copy its content, then paste it into the renamed duplicate, then "lock" that document.
I now want to save it, but Numbers will not let me save an open document that has been locked.!!!
Why lock it if a locked document cannot be saved? Besides this issue of locking, I now have 4 open documents on the desktop: The import, Copy 0, the Duplicate of it, and the Renamed copy of it.
You know what? In Appleworks you would only have 1 document open which you "save as" with what ever name (in whatever condition of progress you want to save it), wherever to.
Accidentally, I found I can save a locked document but only after doing all these extra steps: In order to lock the document it has to be closed and saved unlocked to a folder first, then opened up again, and only then it can be locked!
This process reminds me of the old DOS systems, which questiioned everything you wanted to do with "do you really want to do that?"
I wonder whether my Numbers is damaged, or whether it has a good reason to be that way?
Or maybe I missed some instructions?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.
