How to change save defults so it saves to the location and file opened?

When I open a document and change it on my PC it then saves it to the location I opened it in. on my new Macbook air the file does not. I then have to change the defult and I can only get into main folders not the subfolders, so I then have to move it. this is very time consuming and there must be a way of setting a defult so I can save it to the original location. but I can not see it. Please help. I

Assuming you don't have any utilies installed that changes the behavior of the File Selector (such as Default Folder), you should see the behavior you are describing. When you create a new Document you are normally defaulted to the Documents folder or Pictures folder (whichever is appropriate for the program you are using). In that case you can navigate through the folders to find the subfolder you want or with a little prep work you can pre-select folders.
In the Finder open a window so you can see a subfolder you frequently want to save to and drag it left into the sidebar. You can also drag items out of the sidebar as well as drag them up and down to put them in the order you prefer. Now when you save a file look to the left side of the File Selector - you have the same sidebar as the Finder. Click on the folder you want to save it and you jump there.

How can I save ONLY the bookmarks and extensions

I am about to do a clean reinstall of Firefox. I want to save ONLY the Bookmarks and Extensions and NOTHING ELSE from the Firefox Profile. How can I do this please?
Thank you,

Both answers combined to help solve the problem. It would be good if more than one answer can be selected as "Chosen Solutions", because this situation occurs often in forums.
Thank you to both of you!
Kind regards.

Illustrator's font is different for some reason and hard to read, I need to change it so i can read all the tabs and file names. Like file, edit, options, type, select, effects..... swatches, layers.. every tab is in a different font that is hard to read

Illustrator's tabs are all in a different font that I can read.
I need to know how to change it so I can get back to a steady workflow.
For example..
File, edit, options, type, select, effects, view, windows, help..... pathfinder, layers, swatches, stroke, and the file name (all the tabs)
are all in a different font, I don't know how it got changed but now it is different.
This is a shared computer so someone might have changes it on accident but I'm not sure.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

How do I save just the video and audio I need for a project

I typically run 3-4 video cameras at an event that lasts 2 hours, but only want to keep about 30-60 min of the video. I don't always have the time to do more than a rough edit and am looking for a way to: 1 maintain the original quality , and 2 get rid of the excess. The rough cut would obviously take only i/4 to 1/2 the 84GB of space the raw video does.
What format can I export it to that will do this. My cameras all record in ACVHD and I dont see that as an option for export.

First I would find out what the pixel size of the frame is. Next export your photos to a folder on the Desktop using Custom size requirements and put in the maximum frame pixel dimension and a quality level of medium or less (depending on the quality of the frame). Give the folder a name like "DigitalFramePhoto" and copy that folder to the SD card. You'll need a card reader to do that.
The reason you need to put the folder into a folder is that the SD card is formatted for PCs and will only take a limited number of files at the root directory. Putting them into a folder and loading the folder gets around that limitation.

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:

How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

Sorry, not possible in PSE itself. You'd need to put your photo into the web creation software you use. If you are using an older version of PSE some versions created web albums/galleries which included an index.html page, but that's as much as PSE does. There's nothing like that in PSE 12 since Adobe wants you to use Revel for photo sharing now.

How do I save multiple songs as one file?
There are two ways:
1. Put the individual song files into a folder, and then Zip the folder. This creates a single .zip file. (Note however, that a .zip file is not playable in a normal player: it is just a "holder" for the song files.)
2. Use an audio editor such as Audacity to concatenate the individual song files into a single song file. This creates a single file can be played in a normal player such as iTunes.
Technique #2 is the one normally used to create a continuous mix.
