I want to open a document in a link without having to save it first.

When reading an email or looking at a web page I always have to save a document before I can open it. I used to be able to click on the link and was given the option to open or save the file. I no longer get the option. I do not want to save all these things to my computer first. How can I get the option to open a document whose link I have clicked on without having to save it first?

Just be sure that feature is enabled first.
Settings / General / Keyboard / Enable Caps Lock.
When capslocked, the arrow turns blue.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Everytime I send an email in Outlook 2010, I get a message asking if I want to open Firefox Document E9B557DD-DAE3-4088-988A-9123DAC2AAC7.html. There are brackets around the number. It's extremely annoying.

It's extremely annoying. I had an issue with the latest version of WinZip, which I mistakenly downloaded and installed--it automatically zipped my files, which is not what I want it to do. I removed WinZip and reinstalled the older version, and then I started getting these messages. It also seems to be interfering with Outlook 2010 help--I get another message about downloading a Firefox document and it won't load.

Have you contacted the people who make the program? It sounds like something special from that program.

Most times when I want to open a document, Firefox saves it in Downloads, rather than just letting me read it. How do I prevent this?

In earlier versions of Firefox, I was able to open a document e.g. an email attachment or a document following a link in a website, and then decide if I wanted to save it or just read it. Now more often than not, it automatically saves it to Downloads, though not every time. The choices in Settings/General relate only to choosing which folder to save them in, and not to opt not to save at all. By way of example, I went to www.overseal.org, then chose Documents and Budget 2013-2014.
This means that nothing appears to happen on screen, and to view the document, I have to go to Downloads, and subsequently delete it from there if I don't want to keep it. Can I change a setting somewhere to revert to previous practice please?

In order to transfer a document from Internet I am asked to save it first in my computer. In another PC I can simply open it. How can I do this in the former?

In order to transfer a document from Internet in one of my computers, I am asked to save it first (in my computer). In another computer I am not asked to save it and I can simply open it. IO would like to have the possibility to simply open it on the first computer and save it only if I want.

How can I open a document in yosemite pages without going to yosemite

I have been sent a pages document that will not open. (I have pages 5.2)
I get an error message that says that I must upgrade to Yosemite and use new pages.
Does anyone have a work round? (I do not wish to upgrade - I have heard too many bad things about Yosemite on older computers)
While I realise that apple has never been good at backward compatibility, for as basic a product as a word processor, this is vital.
At least Microsoft provided a conversion utility that allowed old versions of word to read docx files.
Charley

The default file format on Yosemite with Pages v5.5.2 is single file format. Pages v5.2.2 on Mavericks can only read package file format.
Tell the person that sent you the document to open that document in Pages v5.5.2, and then in the File menu:
Advanced ▸ Change File Type ▸ Package
Follow this document conversion with a File ▸ Save. That is important. Then they can send the document to you and Pages v5.2.2 can open it.

Open Mail Attachment without having to save file

I'm pretty sure I should be able to double click the icon for an attachment in Mail and it should open with the program from my preferences.
I can't even right click the file, choose open with, and select what I want to open with. Mail just sits there ... no error message .. nothing.
I can view in place, or save to downloads, or drag it to Desktop.
Where the **** is this setting or how can I correct this. Driving me nuts.

On my machine a single click on a Word document in an email opens the Word doc, no double click required. I can see the Word icon before I click on it, it is not just a generic icon.
I can also right click and select the application, like you suggest you should be able to do.
Not sure why it does not work for you though as there are no settings in Mail that I can see that would affect it.

Will PSE 11 open RAW D7100 files in ACR without having to convert to DNG?

I have a D7100 and PSE10 -- I learned (after the fact...) that PSE 10 can not open D7100 RAW files. I have tried using the DNG converter but do not want to have to do this. I also purchased Lightroom 5 in ordert to solve the problem, but again (after the fact...) learned that LR5 doesn't work with VISTA, which is that my desktop has. Getting quite frustrated, I know mostly my fault for not researching enough.... but I really just want to open the D7100 RAW files directly in ACR. Will PSE 11 support D7100 RAW files without having to convert to DNG first?

Suggest you download the trial version using the link below and try it free for 30 days. Also bear in mind that PSE12 is due out soon. So you could run another trial of that product when available, assuming Vista support.
After downloading and installing the trial you will need to update the ACR plug-in to get support for the D7100.
Launch Full Edit (Expert Mode in PSE11) and on the menu click:
Help >> Updates
Install version 7.4 of ACR and your NEF files should open, with one proviso. Ensure your raw files have not passed through older versions of Nikon Transfer/ Nikon software; only the software that shipped with your camera.
