Is there a way to "Save As" when downloading with Firefox?

I want to be able to "Save As" when downloading with Firefox. The only options I am given is to Save or Open. All the previous questions I have seen deal with being able to save to a certain location, and that I can easily set in Firefox. What I want is to be able to change the filename, so if it goes to download "abc123.pdf" I can rename it to "123abc.pdf" when it downloads.
We use a web based application that I have to pull down pdf charts multiple times every day, but the problem is when you go to download a chart, every one is the same name. I can't just save it to the default directory since it will overwrite the previous one or just append a (1) or something. What I have to do now is use the Open option and have a pdf reader open it, then save from the pdf reader giving it a unique filename, which is extra steps that I do not have to do when using IE, Opera, etc. since I can do a Save As from those and rename it before it downloads.

Is there any way to save a Pages document with security?

I mean, is there any way to save a file you just edited, with a password or something that prevent other people to access that file without a password?
I am on iWork on trial version, to test if I change to iWork or keep Office 2008 for Mac.
I used to save a file on Office (PC version) with a security option, two passwords, one for read the file and other for editing the file.....is there any way to do that on Pages 09?
Thanks

Yes:
+Inspector > Document > Document > Require password to open+
Just be aware that is not the same security as with MsWord. In other words they can not open each others secure documents.

Is there any way to use windows live mesh with firefox

I cannot access the Windows Live Mesh network when I have Firefox as my default browser

Get an HDMI to component adaptor cable.
Just understand that HDCP dependent content (Netflix, iTunes, etc) will not work.

Why can I not print out a pdf-file (train ticket NS) when downloaded with Firefox? (file says (SECURED)

When ordering and paying a train ticket by internet they send a pdf-file, which one must download and print. When downloading this with Firefox (from my e-mail account) the pdf-file says (SECURED) and I cannot print out the ticket (pdf-file). (Adobe program stops automatically).
When downloading this same pdf-file in Safari, I encounter no problems.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader application or set to "Always Ask" in "Firefox > Preferences > Applications".

Is there a way to get Keychain to work with Firefox 3.5.1?

I can't figure out how to get Keychain to work with Firefox 3.5.1. It works fine with Safari 4.0.2. An assist would be greatly appreciated.

HI,
With Firefox open, from the Menu Bar, select Firefox/Preferences. Click the Security tab. Under Passwords; Select Remember passwords for sites.
Also, check out this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1692413&tstart=0

Is there any way to save an iphone with water damage?

Is there any way to save an iphone 5 with water damage? I know older phones you could some times use rice to dry it out.

1, Place in ziplock bag with dry raw white rice for a week.
2, When that doesn't work take to Apple and purchase out of warranty replacement.
3, If you have already turned on the power the damage is done so just proceed to step 2.

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

New STB - Is There a Way to Save Recordings?

Verizon is sending me a new Motorola DVR since they determined my current one has a problem. Is there a way to save my recordings? I saw the option to export series to the cloud. I clicked on it and it said okay. I don't see an import option unless that only shows up when I get the new box. Does this actually do anything? And does it only save the series or will it save my actual recordings too? Buying an esata drive isn't worth it for me.
Also, they are replacing the box because I suddenly can't get Channel 689 (BBC America HD). SD works fine, but can't get HD. Is anyone else having this problem? I heard from "tns" in this forum that his was fine in VHO 5. Verizon said there's no outage of which they are aware.
Thanks.

In general there is no way to move content from one DVR to another. The only thing you can do to 'save' content is to record it to something else like a VCR or DVD. All outputs on the DVR box are active simultaneously, so you can connect a VCR to either the RF output, or composite Video or S-VHS video and the audio outputs and record from those outputs.
The external drive will NOT allow you to move content. It is permanently paired with the DVR it is connected to, so the only thing you can do with the external HDD after you change DVR's is re-format the HDD. This is a sore subject..
Before sending back the original DVR, make sure that the new one solves the problem(s). Verizon uses the 'shot gun' approach to trouble shooting, and will try just about anything and everything on your end before considering the possibility that the problem is on their end. In short changing out the DVR may not fix the problem.

Is there a way to save the last curor position in Numbers?

Is there a way to save the last curor position in Numbers? We have a custom Budget spreadsheet but every time we open the file, we have to scoll to the bottom of the spreadsheet.
There are several thousand entries, and every time we open it, we have to scroll to the bottom of the screen which is getting fairly annoying.
Every time we open it, regardless of what sheet or cell we are in when it is saved previously, it opens at the top....
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

reverse the order of you entries and add rows at the top of the table. That is have newest date entries at the top and oldest at the bottom

Is there a way to save a restored session (without opening it) to bookmarks?

I kinda get carried way with opening tabs, like I'll have 50-200 open at any time. And you can imagine what it's like when Firefox crashes and you attempt to restore a crashed session - all the tabs reopen at the same time.
Is there any way to save a crashed session's tabs/windows to bookmarks directly from the restore session list? This would be so useful... sometimes I just want to go to a couple places and then close Firefox, worrying about the crashed session later, and without having to open every single tab in it at once.

It would be very practical if we could choose to save the crashed session as bookmarks into a date-stamped bookmark folder instead of restoring, and even an option to "copy to clipboard" just like "CopyAllurls" does (firefox add-on) - with title and urls, grouped by domain, for example. When a 200+ tabs session crashes, what we need is mostly to not loose track of what we worked with, but not strictly loading them all in one go at startup. Furthermore, whenever we really do load them all, then it would be smarter if Firefox loaded just a certain (configurable figure?) number of tabs, then waits for them to load, and fill in with the next tabs as the currently loading tabs finish. It should not attempt to load all 200+ simultaneously, as that creates other problems. Will look for any existing feature requests about this and chime in there. If anyone has a direct link to relevant feature requests, please post here. Thanks.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Is there any way to save all of my imessages with a person on to my computer for free?

I've looked at multiple programs but they all cost money. Is there a way to save an entire imessage conversation with a person on to my PC for free? I backed up my phone on itunes and when I looked at the backup I could not find my texts in any of the files. Thanks!

This is not a feature of iOS.
Search google for other options, if they exist.

Is there any way to save a browsing session i.e. save a window of tabs?

If i am browsing a subject and have several related tabs open is there a way to save these tabs in a group so i can open them all together again? I dont necessarily want to open all these tabs on start up but maybe in the future sometime when i am browsing this topic again.

OK thanks but that just bookmarks the pages - i want to be able to open them all up again at some time in the future when i am working on a certain subject.
And i dont want them to open up every time i start firfox.
Found this comment on review of tab saver add on page :
''For people that do a lot of inter-related research with many tabs on many firefox windows open is to be able to save a whole windows worth of tab addresses to a document to be opened later. This is needed because at some point your resources become over taxed and at best slow operation, at worst a chrash. this would allow for one page to be saved and re-opend at a time rather than closing down and saving them all, and opening with the same resource headache.
you could save windows for a specific search theme seperate from other windows-search themes until resource problem is removed below resource problem threshold. ''
So i guess for now its not possible but it seems like such an obvious feature to include......

I have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?

i have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?

Why are you changing your ID?
iTunes/app purchases are locked to the account that purchased them. For some actions like updating apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. Just changing the ID does not not delete any media from the iPod.
When you delete the iCloud account for the iPod should should be offered the option to leave contacts on the iPod. See:
