How to stop annoying preview saving during annotation?, How to stop annoying preview saving during annotation?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, any time I open a big PDF ( for example 600 pages) with Preview, when I make an annotation as highlighting, I starts saving and this annoying process lasts for 45-50 seconds. Anyone knows how to stop Preview from saving during reading and puts it for when closing the application?

Open Terminal and enter this command which will turn off Autosave & Versions for TextEdit Preview.
defaults write -app 'Preview' ApplePersistence -bool no
Now reboot.
To turn off autosave and versions globally...
defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no

  • I am using 10.7.4.  How can I stop Preview from saving versions.

    In Lion, 10.7.4 Prieview was changed to use Versions.  This means the previous options of SaveAs is no longer available.
    I want to be able to open a file in Preview and SaveAs (now Export) my changes, without having Preview then save those changes in the original file when I close the window.  I know that I can use Revert to get back to the original, but is is time consuming and annoying to have to do so.  How can I stop Lion from using versions??

  • HT4753 How do you stop preview from auto save

    How do you stop preview from doing AutoSave?
    Preivew keeps saving different copies of a pdf I am working on (highlighting/annotating), and I now only have 1GB left on my harddrive (had 180GB left).

    If you are using Safari, look at Safari > Preferences > General and make sure 'Open "safe" files after downloading' is not checked.  Other browsers should have a similar setting in their preferences.

    Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • In preview how can i create an hyperlink annotation

    I've upgradetd to mountain lion and i'd like to create a Link annotation on my PDF using Preview, but i cannot find the right tool

    but i cannot find the "link" tools anymore.
    Any hint?
    Thanks

    Preview used to be such a useful application, why has Apple removed so many functions?
    1. Can't create a white box to white out an area - no way to remove the shadow.
    2. "Save as" is back in Mountain Lion version but hidden behind the alt key
    3. There is no hand function, so only possible to move the image around awkwardly via the scroll bars, or by drawing lines (sic)
    4. Can't insert hyperlink text
    5. Worst of all for me, it is no longer possible to "print selected pages". That was how one could:
    Select exactly the pp one wanted to print - given that page numbering in pdf documents is often quite different from that in the view.
    Create new pdf documents by selecting various images or pages and then saving them as a new pdf document in the Print menu
    Create new pdf documents of just the pages one wanted, again by saving those selected in the Print dialogue.
    Why has Apple wrecked such a useful application?

  • I own fully paid for license for Dreamweaver CS6. Every time I click to open the app, I get a very annoying pop-up message. How do I stop it?

    I own fully paid for license for a Mac version of Dreamweaver cs6. Every time I click to open the app, and before I can start using CS6, I get a very annoying pop-up message (see screen shot below) that states I have a trial version and do I want to buy into the cloud version, which I don't.  How do I stop the pop-up? This message seems to originate from the Extension Manager.
    I tried trashing Extension Manager, but another annoying pops-up which states that I have to "reinstall the application manager". Of course, there is no such thing as a "application manager" that I can find. I guess it should be "extension manager".
    I no longer own Photoshop because there are so many great alternatives available. Can't wait to do the same with Dreamweaver.
    Adobe can't even get the correct cost. I'm an US Customer however they quote the Creative Cloud in Euros. Go figure........

    I have faced this problem in the past.  In my case, I had Adobe registered under two separate ID.  One when a student and the second as a regular employed individual.  Because I purchased the licensed while at the University, the registration was listed under the school id. So, when I login in Adobe using my regular ID, I then received the annoying marketing campaign add.
    Therefore, review that you have enter the correct id during loging. IT is possible that you login to the community as one ID but purchased the subscription using a separate user name. In these cases, the computer will not know that you already have a paying license.

  • Sometimes when I click on a tab, instead of simply switching to that tab, a new Firefox window opens, which can be very annoying. How do I stop this?

    I have multiple tabs open. I want to look at one of them and I click on it. Instead of simply switching to that tab, Firefox opens a new window. Very annoying! Why does it do this and, more importantly, how do I make it stop?
    I'm using Firefox 36.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

    Hi reddbrad,
    I've never heard of this issue before. Have you tried refreshing and/or re-installing Firefox? Take a look at this article: [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems]] I would try #6 and if that doesn't do it, #5.
    '''Note:''' When using the refresh feature, your bookmarks, browsing history, open tabs, windows, passwords, cookies and web form auto-fill information will be saved. However, your extensions and themes will be removed and your preferences will be reset.

  • How do i stop the keychain window from popping up it is really annoying?

    How do I stop the keychain window from popping up, it is really annoying?

    What is the specific message you are getting?
    If it's asking for a password, then enter it and you should be good. If you don't know the password, then I would probably recommend reseting your keychain entirely. Your keychain keeps saved password for certain websites and programs but in my expereince the average user is not tremendously affected by reseting the keychain. It's just a matter at that point of reentering your passwords manually if you've gotten used to them populating automatically.
    Check out http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1544 for an article on how to reset the keychain.

  • How can I stop TextEdit from automatically saving as .txt

    When I use TextEdit to save an HTML file, it automatically saves it as .txt instead of .html. How can I stop this?
    Thanks

    I am having the same problem. Using plain text format, when I save my ".html" file after making edits, it is automatically saved as a ".txt" file.
    I have the "Add ".txt" extension automatically to plain text files" option unchecked as well.
    This is very frustrating because I have to then go into finder to change the extension of the file back to ".html" before I can preview my changes in a web browser.
    Please let us know the status of this; is this being worked on or do we need to just find another application for working on ".html" files?

  • How to stop iTunes web preview from automatically launching iTunes?

    Any time you go to an iTunes web preview page (which a lot of app sites/reviews link to), it automatically launches iTunes, completely defeating the purpose of having a web preview page in the first place. How can I make it stop doing this? I've looked in both Safari & iTunes prefs; if it's there, I didn't see it.

    It's very annoying, and I wish there was a solution too. If I click on a link to for something to iTunes, I now have a new web browser window opened that is showing the exact same thing that opened in iTunes. How pointless is that? Its to the point that I am looking for alternatives to iTunes for managing my media.

  • How can I stop Firefox 4 from displaying "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" from appearing every time I click on File/Page Preview?

    Clicking on File/Page Preview in Firefox 4 brings up a warning dialog "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" every time. How can I stop this from happening? It is very annoying, and it is necessary to click "OK" on this dialog twice before it will go away. Thank you.

    Does it behave that way in [[Safe Mode]] ?
    If it doesn't, then one of your add-ons in the culprit.

  • Lightroom has stopped showing thumbnails on Import. How do I get my previews back?

    My Lightroom (5.3) has stopped showing previews on Import.  I can still see older Imports in Library but my latest Imports are just grey boxes.  I can open the boxes in Develop and these stay as previews for up to 3 thumbnails in Library before disappearing again.  I have tried reinstalling Lightroom 5.  I have checked my sRGB.  It is the same problem with different cards and different external drives.
    How can I get my Library to show Preview thumbnails once more?  Thanks, Angus

    Could it be that the Camera Software is installed and it got Updated?
    -Sometimes it happens that the "autoplay" uses the Codec for recognizing the files, and When Lightroom tries to do the same the files are in use, so it can not generate Previews/Thumbnails.
    Do you get the same result if you Try to Import from Safe Boot?
    - It could be that there is some software installed that now also manages during startup, also preventing Lightroom to Generate the Previews.
    Have you tested with a new Catalog, do you get the same behavior there?
    Also it might be far fetched, but incase you haven't seen it it might help you on the issue:

  • How do I stop the annoying pop up to install the update?

    please tell me how to stop the annoying pop up every few minutes on my galaxy 4? I am not interested in this or any updates verizon or samsung has to offer for obvious reasons..tomm I will be contacting verizon samsung and whoever else is responsible for all of this ** that has been going on.it seems to me that nothing is being done about all of the problems we all have been having.now for 3 days I cant get this annoying pop up to stop and u cant clear it from the notifications bar at the top either.

    There is no way to get rid of it permanently. Hit the go back button and the notification will go away until the next time the phone wakes up.  The last update I was able to do this for about 2 months then the update force loaded itself during a battery charge. Fortunatly all went well and the phone functions perfectly. I hope all goes well on the update that keeps proding me now. I will keep delaying the update as long as possible.
