How to save a Pages '09 file as Pages '08 in Mountain Lion?

Help! I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now with the Save As gone I can't save my Pages '09 files as Pages '08 files which I need to do very badly to share files with my teaching team. Please help ASAP!!!!

Save As… has returned with Mountain Lion. Hold down the Option/alt key while clicking on the File menu & there it is! It also has a default keyboard shortcut.

Plz let me know it soon .. its very urgent ..
Can I save it as Screenshot or Jpeg Image .. or how to go about it .

Sure: see below!
WARNING: this code will not compile as is because it uses some other classes from my personal code library (FileUtil & StringUtil). The particular methods of those classes which are used below are trivial methods that anyone can write, which is is why I have not posted them as well. So, to get the code below to compile, you can
a) write your own versions of these classes or
b) simply add the necessary methods to this class or
c) simply comment out their usage (in the case of StringUtil, which is just used for arg checking)
But if you still want me to post them, then I can post the relevant fragments of those classes.

* Class which supports taking screen shots of the entire desktop, AWT Components, or Swing JComponents.
* This functionality is implemented in a series of <code>take</code> methods, each of which returns a BufferedImage.
* This class also offers convenience <code>write</code> methods for storing BufferedImages to files.
* 
* The images taken by this class should be the precise images seen on the screen.
* However, the images written to files may deviate from the originals.
* One obvious cause is limitations of the chosen file format (especially with lossy formats like jpeg).
* A subtle issue can occur, however, even when using lossless formats like png:
* if the file is subsequently opened by another application,
* that application may rescale the image, which can often cause visible artifacts.
* <blockquote>
* To see this last problem on Windows XP,
* call {@link #take()} which returns an image of the entire desktop and write it to a file,
* and then open the file with XP's default graphics file viewer ("Windows Picture And Fax Viewer").
* This program shrinks the desktop image in order to fit it inside the program's window,
* and rescaling artifacts are readily seen, especially if the desktop image has any kind of text in it.
* If "Windows Picture And Fax Viewer" instead cropped the image or had a scroll pane, then this should not happen.
* </blockquote>
* 
* Acknowledgement: this class was inspired by the program
* <a href="http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ScreenImage.java">ScreenImage</a>.
* Differences from the above program:
* <ol>
* <li>this class uses {@link BufferedImage#TYPE_INT_ARGB} instead of {@link BufferedImage#TYPE_INT_RGB} in order to preserve alpha</li>
* <li>this class's {@link #formatNameDefault default image file format} is PNG instead of JPEG</li>
* <li>this class's <code>take</code> methods simply take snapshots and never have the side effect of writing image files</li>
* <li>this class added a version of <code>take</code> which can get a snapshot of a region of a Component</li>
* <li>
* when taking a snapshot of a region of a Component or JComponent,
* the Rectangle that specifies the region always has coordinates relative to the origin of the item
* </li>
* </ol>

* 
* It might appear that this class is multithread safe
* because it is immutable (both its immediate state, as well as the deep state of its fields).
* However, typical Java gui code is not multithread safe, in particular, once a component has been realized
* it should only be accessed by the event dispatch thread
* (see <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2003/tt1208.html#1">Multithreading In Swing</a>
* and <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2004/tt0611.html#1">More Multithreading In Swing</a>).
* So, in order to enforce that requirement, all methods of this class which deal with components
* require the calling thread to be the event dispatch thread.
* See the javadocs of each method for its thread requirements.

public class ScreenShot {

 * The current value is {@link BufferedImage#TYPE_INT_ARGB}, which was chosen because

 * <li>the "_INT" types are the fastest types (the "BYTE" types are slower)

How to save downloaded update installer files

How can I locate a downloaded update installer file so I can save it and use to install on another mac without having to download all over again? Today I downloaded updates for OS X and also for Office 2011. The first is over 2GB and the second around 300MB. I have installed on my Macbook Pro, but I have another 3 units to update. I live in a 3rd world country with very slow internet and it takes me days to download such files.

Grateful for you having replied but for some reason I seem unable to open your message "Re: How to save downloaded update installer files". Waikato99

When i try to access iwork on iCloud on my mac, i get an ipage logo with 2 options learn/get image. I already have ipage on my mac. How can i get to the file management page?

Lion will only let you add documents to iCloud through iCloud.com, iCloud.com requires the iOS apps before you can use it.
Mountain Lion will let you add documents to iCloud from the iWork apps themselves, you don't then need the iOS apps before they can be opened on another Mac.

I lost my saved email file when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. How can I get it back?, I lost my saved email file when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. How can I get it back?

I lost my saved email file when I ugraded to Mountain Lion today. How can I get it back?? It has email messages dating back several years.

do you have a time machine backup or any other device that contains the emails you are now missing?
if so you can get them back that way. otherwise there isn't a way to retrieve them from the mac if they are nowhere on the HD.
also check on the email website to see if the messages are still there as well.

HT204053 how do i update from OS X 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

How do I update fro OS X 10.5.5 to Mountain Lion?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse. The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

How do I move from os x 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

How do I upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

You have enough memory, however it can be bumbed up to 8GB
(2-4GB modules) 2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
You have a Intel Core 2 Duo and a old NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, so 10.8 is going to run slow.
10.6.8 max would be best for that machine as it's 4 years old, in it's near end of life stage.
If you backup your files off the machine to a Storage Drive, then erase and install 10.6 fresh from the disk, the machine will run very fast, because 10.6 has updated video drivers.
Most commonly used backup methods
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
You can then choose to go to 10.8 from there, but it's not going to be as fast as 10.6 is.
If you upgrade 10.6 over 10.5, then go to 10.8, your machine is going to crawl really bad, so somewhere you have to do a fresh install to get your performance.
You will have to call Apple via phone and order the 10.6.3 white retail disks, they only take phone orders for that disk now.

I watched the video about Mountain Lion, but the airplay icon can't appear on my menu bar.
WHY ?

i have a MacBook Air (Early 2011)
and it doesn't support the airplay mirroring ,,, the only things that the failed to do is " MENTION IT "
it wouldn't hurt anyone if they just say it's limited to Late macs ,,,, i really wanted that feature and i updated my mac so i can watch movies on my HD screen ,,,,
i hope they made and update for it ,,, otherwise i have to wait another 4 months to get a new macbook pro

How do I find a past event(s) in calendar on mountain lion

How do I find a past event(s) in calendar on mountain lion without manually going back day by day? I would ike to be able to use Calendar as a searchable log. I do not care about syncing with iOS, just finding an event or notes in an event, such as "oil change", "research paper turned in", "dr. appt." The find function only works on future evernts.

I tried the "year" view, but it makes not difference. A Spotlight search does not present the info in a calendar format, only in an events and reminders format. It also only seems to be finding the "today" view, but it is impossible to be sure since it only shows a time for the event but no date. There has to be a way to find the last time or all the times I made a Dr.'s appointment without going through an entire year or more day by day.

How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion? I'm guessing I have to first purchase Snow Leopard? Is there anyway to download or upgrade online?

First, determine how high you can upgrade.
SL requires an Intel processor and 1 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
Lion requires Core2Duo processor and 2 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
Mountain Lion has higher requirements: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Also review applications that do not work under Lion or ML to see if you will lose critical functionality: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Research first, as too many have discovered only after the upgrade that things are lost to them.
You can buy SL or Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE. SL is a disk ($19 single disk license, $29 for 5-user license). Lion will be a $19 download code to use in App Store that you get with SL.

Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.
