How do you save a document with a new name?

OK I decided to go with Pages as my document editor on my iPad 2. It seems to be powerful enough to do the kind of text editing that I need to do. I need some tables, a few graphics, headers, footers, etc. You know the basic stuff. I am not going to try to write a dissertation or thesis on my iPad, but I need to be able to write memos and some work documents.
I am having a hard time learning the Apple way of doing things I guess. Must be too many years on a PC using Microsoft Office.
But I need to know how to open an existing document, make some changes and then save it with a new name so I don't overwrite my original document? Just a basic "Save As" function.
Is this possible? Or has Apple devised a way that I am just not seeing yet?

Hi
Someone maybe can tell you another/the right way of doing this but I do it this way. In pages press and hold the document until it wiggles and then select it by touching it so the orange border appears around it, then press the folder button at the top, the one with the + sign on it and this will create an exact copy on the documents screen. Then just open and edit that one thus preserving the content of the original.
There may well be a better way, but hope this helps.
Regards
Matt.

I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

Take a look at the FileSelector
First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

Forced to save document with another new name?

When I scan a document to a pdf, I open it and OCR the document. It then tells me that I need to save the document with another name as the document is opened someplace else. this is not true. If I open a pdf and add a page to it, it tells me again that I need to save the document with a different name. What is causing this problem?

This cannot be done in Reader. Are you using Acrobat?

Mavericks freezes whenever I try to save a document with a new tag

I just started having a problem (or at least I think it is new) whenever I try to save a document with a new tag. With the exception of OmniOutliner, every program I've tried either freezes and I need to force-quit (Preview, Byword, Circus Pony Notebooks) or crashes (anything in Office 2011). I recently purchased Default Folder X (as part of the Mac productivity bundle), but I turned it off, I tried saving the file to a different location, and I tried rebooting. Still, the problem occurs. This occurs on two different machines (2013 Macbook Air and 2011 Macbook Pro).
As I said, this problem only occurs if I try to save and create a new tag. If I just save without creating a new tag, or if I save the document and add a pre-existing tag, it saves without any problems. And what's really puzzling to me at least is that Omnioutliner saves a new tag without difficulties. Any suggestions?

Given what you wrote,
it's not a Pages problem but a System's one.
Better to ask in a forum dedicated to this one.

How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

Rock,
I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
3. Right-click it. A long menu will pop up.
4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option. As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally). Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

Do you mean you want to sync your desktop Safari bookmarks to iOS? This is done in iTunes when you sync the iOS device. There is a box to check to make this happen.

How do you print a playlist with the new itunes?

How do you print a playlist with the new itunes????

You can click on the little triangle that's next to the little box at the top left of the new iTunes. It will give you a drop down box which gives you several selections. One of the selections is "Show Menu Bar". Click on that and you get the bar back that was on the previous version. Then in "file" you can print a CD jewel case list just like before!

How can I save a pages document with a new name

I often make changes to pages and numbers documents and save them with a new name. This seems to be impossible under LION. To remove the save as command is very shortsited. The only way I found to get around that is to save the changed document as a templete, remove the changes I made to the original document, Open a new document using the templete I just created, saving that document under the name I would have created using the save as command if it was still there, and then delete the templete. How in the **** is this better? Lion has disrupted almost everything I used to do in Snow Leopard.
The only thing that syncs with mobile me is email. Everything else quit working. I reported the mobile me issue to Apple and am waiting for them to contact me.

I think the issue is easy:
1.- Try to go to the File Menu
2.- Then hold down the Option Key
3.- You will see in the File Menu (while you press the option key) the "save as" option.
4.- Choose the "save as" option.
5.- Choose the file where you want to save your document (you can choose any folder or sub foler in your mac or even iCloud). If you want to, you can even rename the open document where you are working in.
I hope this would help

Trying to save a document with a new file name

I have a IMacOSX Lion
I am very new to apple products
How do I save an existing document with a new file name thereby having two documents the old one and the new one with changes? Once a document has been saved once opening File no longer offers the save or Save as choice. Clicking on Save a version does not work either. Please help!

What application are you using?
Most Apple apps have adopted a new file saving scheme for what you describe. In Pages, for instance, you go to the File menu and select Duplicate. You end up with two documents, one labeled xxx copy (if the original was xxx). Now you can save xxx copy by using Save from the File menu, and change the name to whatever you want.
Hope this helps you. Best of luck.
