Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion?

Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion? I used to use Preview to change quickly change a lot of PNGs to either JPEGs or PDFs but with the introduction of versions auto save etc there no "save as" in the File menu. Any suggestions how to get this functionality back or how to get around it within OS X (no Photoshop etc)?

Just wasted 15 minutes looking for that. What's wrong with Save As?

How to stop files from being locked in Mountain Lion?

In the last week, I have found several of the files that I have generated or downloaded have become locked. Since Apple has eliminated the Auto locking feature that use to be in Time Machine. The files include PDFs, PHGs, TXTs, etc. How do I stop files from being locked? How do I unlock the ones that are locked? I can not emtpy my Trash.

When I went to "Get Info" on one of the locked files [a TXT file] per your steps, I noticed that the there was a Locked box checked. I unchecked that box and was then able to remove the files from Trash without any further action.
Do you know why it got locked in the first place since Mountain Lion does not automatically lock files as the older OS X version did? Do you know how to prevent it from happening again?
I want to thank you for your suggestion.

How to stop file previews

How do I stop Leopard (10.5.6) from generating a preview of all my documents? At first I thought it was neat, but now I just want everything to have the generic default icon to facilitate rapid identification.

BAC240SX,
With a Finder window open, click on View>Show View Options. Then un-check the box "show icon preview".

Safari login keychain box keeps popping up - how to stop?

Please excuse this rookie question, but we recently bought an IMac. The Safari login keychain box keeps popping up and after clicking on cancel, it comes up again and after clicking on cancel again it goes away for a while, then comes back later and does the same thing. How to stop?

OS x 10.5 Lion or 10.9 Mavericks?
OS X 10.9 Mavericks
“Local Items” keychain prompt?
This may help.

How to stop SQL Server 2008 R2 generating SQLDump.mdmp files constantly?

Something went wrong with local SQL Server 2008 R2 and it constantly generates SQLDump.mdmp files. It generated 40Gb(!) of SQLDump.mdmp this morning. Server rebooted, but didn't help.
Any ideas what happened with SQL Server and how to stop SQLDump.mdmp files generation?

Memory Dumps are generated automatically by the SQL Server under various circumstances - most of which indicate potential problems in the Instance or the machine. Some that I can recall right now are:
Database Corruption
Non-yielding scheduler
Non-yielding resource monitor
AV (Access Violation)
There can be several other reasons as well. SQL Server generates the dumps, so that these dumps can be analyzed to find out potential problems in the SQL Server.
IMHO, rather than trying to find out ways to stop the dumps from being generated, please try to find out potential problems in the Instance or the machine and fix that. This will stop the dump generation anyway.
In case you need any assistance in analyzing the Dumps, please feel free to engage Microsoft Support.

How to stop Time Machine from backing up Temp Files?

Hi folks!
I am trying to find out how to stop Time Machine from constantly backing up 'useless' temporary files accumulated from web browsing? Although I don't change or add large files to my HD, Time Machine backs up hundreds of MBs every hour. Those file amounts make sense when I consider that I browse a lot to YouTube, SoundCloud, etc to watch videos or listen to music - I just don't want them to be backed up.
Under Time Machine Options I already excluded the following items from backups:
~/Library/Caches
/Library/Caches
~/Downloads
But even though I did this weeks ago, Time Machine stills finds large files to be backed up every hour and my only guess is that I am still missing a location where either Safari or Firefox - the two web browsers I use - store temporary files.
Can you help?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Are you sure you need that? There are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero.
If you're running Windoze on your Mac, that's the same as running it on a PC, so it needs all the same anti-everything stuff you'd use on a PC.
There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt).
Appropriately enough, some of these Trojans are included in pirated versions of Apple software, such as iWork!
For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].
Thanks a lot again!
You're quite welcome, and thanks for posting back.

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

How to stop 12 flv files all loading at once

Hi Guys,
Ive just created a page with 12 FLV players, all to play
audio, problem is, when you click open the page, all the tracks
seem to be loading into the players.
Can some one please tell me how to stop this, Im a flash
newbie so please leave me tips on how to do this.
Also is there any code i can put in the html page, or will i
need to recode each FLV seperately.
Many thanks for your help.
Tobes

There are a couple of ways I think would work.
1. Use only one Playback Component. At the appropriate time,
change the content of that single player using
instanceName.contentPath = "new file name";
2. If you use multiple players, set the parameters to not
automatically load. At the appropriate tim use
"instanceName.load();"

How to Stop automatic file saving on IPAD Adobe Reader 11.2

How can stop my PDF document being saved with the fillable form data when being using Adobe Reader 11.2 on an IPAD - the file is automatically saved when the user returns to the document folder. The original pdf file was created from a Word document and then text,signature and date fields added using Adobe Acrobat XI and saved using Standard Save function. I am trying to achieve my users completing the template form using the IPAD and then emailing it. However each time the form is filled and emailed (which all works fine) and the user returns to the "documents" folder, Acrobat Reader 11.2 automatically saves the file with the form data

I think the iPad forces a different way of thinking. In general, you don't have to save files on the iPad, and that's important. The iPad has complete liberty to quit an app when you want to run a different app, or just because it feels like it. When you restart a good app, things are as they were when it was quit.
Resetting is a possibility, but remember that because of this automatic quit/automatic restart it might happen when you don't want it. A reset BUTTON seems entirely possible.

Emdb.nohup file daily growing how can stop growing(increamnet)

hi
i am use oracle 10g database control , in 10g database control enterprise manager log and trace file daily increment 2GB, how can this file increament stop b'caz this is lot of space use.

Are you talking about this one particular file or ALL log/trace files being generated?
As is said there must be something wrong, when emdb.nohup grows so fast every day. As far as I know there's no parameter , which limits filesizes. What we do is we delete the files from time to time, they will be recreated automatically.

How to stop request for admin password when sending files to trash?

I am requested the admin password when ever sending a file to trash using the mouse or the context menu.
How to stop this annoying request?
It was not like this before.
I am working on a non admin account for security reasons. I got admin details here of cause.
Thanks for you help!

Now my own password was accepted (before this ine and the admins accounts one failed). No there is no annoying request for the admin passowrd when sending a file to trash. changed my work account for no admintrative in the system prefs and logged out and in.
Problem solved.
THanks to Topher Kessler!
