Is this another glitch in Lion?

If it wasn't intentional that Lion made funadmental changes in the operation of iWork, is it a glitch? For example, the removal of "save as" in Pages reduces the efficiency of the Pages workflow by replacing a single action with several, but perhaps I am not doing it right?
I humbly accept that Apple can do anything it wants with it's operating systems, and make any post facto changes in the end-user's existing software, but in this case is there a "fix" coming, or is there a single-step work around that will serve the same purpose that I am not aware of?

The replacement of Save As with Duplicate is fully intentional. Yes, many people are irritated with the change. Bug reports and feature requests have been filed. Apple is standing firm on the new way of doing a Save As. Don't count on Save As coming back in Lion. In fact, don't count on it coming back ever.
This change, along with a dozen or so other changes that got in the way of my productivity, are why I gave up on Lion and returned to Snow Leopard.

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion?

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion? I really need this option!

Sorry but this is not clear.
When you would "import" what?
two files would show up in "images".
Do you mean in the All Images search in the Finder?
IF so:
1.Never interact with photos that are in iPhoto via the All Images Search. This does not understand the iPhoto Library and it's very, very easy to damage the library this way.
2. What you were seeing was the original file you imported and the thumbnail created by iPhoto for viewing on the iPhoto Window. That thumbnail is not designed for user access.
What are you trying to do ultimately?

I have a macbook pro (OSX Lion) and just updated to 10.7.5. There is no longer the option to empty cache in safari. Is this a glitch or a feature of the update?

I recently updated my macbook pro to 10.7.5 and the option in Safari to empty cache is gone. Is this a glitch or is there some other way to empty cache?

Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

Glitches in Lion - is there a solution or should I go back to SL?

I'm having a lot of stupid little glitches with Lion that are unfortunately making it difficult to use. Here's a list:
Netflix keeps giving me the Silverlight error prompting me to uninstall and reinstall, which I do to no avail.
If I try to sign out of my account in the App store it signs me in again within a second.
If I try to download updates from the App store I get a (100) error.
Postbox keeps prompting me to re-enter a password for one of my accounts even though I am recieving mail.
Launchpad resets on startup.
iTunes will not update.
I can't put anything on my Desktop because there is no space...I'm assuming this is because it's running from Recovery HD.
"Photobooth can't save your photos" error.
I really don't want to go back to Snow Leopard and I love all of the features of Lion but I can't continue to use it if these errors persist. Are there any fixes to these? I've tried repairing disk permissions and verifying that my disk is ok, along with reinstalling Lion from a USB stick.

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.

My Dad gave me his old Macbook Pro and I downloaded another version of Lion so it's tied to my ID and it worked but I cannot download and iLife apps at all? It doesn't even give me a choice to purchase it just say accept?

My Dad gave me his old Macbook Pro and I downloaded another version of Lion so it's tied to my ID and it worked but I cannot download any iLife apps at all? It doesn't even give me a choice to purchase it just say accept? And gives me a dropbox that says that these apps are tied to another ID and I need to log into that ID in order to download it.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
This is a common issue with second hand Macs. The iLife apps came bundled free on this Mac and they are registered to your dad's Apple ID. The only way for you to acept them into your Apple ID is for you and your dad to contact Apple Care, explain that he has passed the Mac to you and ask that the iLife apps be released from your dad's Apple ID so that you may accept them into your Apple ID.

I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?

I should have posted this for you a while ago. My apologies for not doing it sooner. This was passed on to me by another user R C-R
He deserves the credit for this workaround. This is his post from an area in the forum where you have to be level 6 or higher in which to participate.
I am getting the same (global) error using iTunes 10.3.1 on a 2008 MacBook running 10.6.8.
A really, really awkward workaround that works for me (for now) is if you have the URL of the Internet radio server you can go to Advanced > Open Stream... (in iTunes 10.x) or type command + U, enter it there & click OK. The station should play fine in 10.x.
You can get the URL from any version of iTunes that still supports the "radio tuning service" (which I gather is an Apple server thing Apple is no longer supporting for 10.x). Play the station normally from the newer version & type command + I to open the info window. At the bottom of the "Summary" tab you will see the URL. (Annoyingly, you can't copy the text so you will have to write it down.)
Once you have that, you can play the station in 10.x & add it to a playlist for future use.
To check this out, maybe try http://198.27.80.37/stream/mbarsott.pls -- it is a European Jazz station that works fine for me with iTunes 10.3.1.
This workaround does work, but is a bit cumbersome. I'm still holding out hope that it is just a glitch.

HT2357 So how does this work on Mountain Lion? I cannot seem to ignore the iTunes 11 updates, which now seem to appear every 5 minutes!!

Fantastic! Didn't work at first so restarted App store and tried again. This time it asked 'ignore update'. All gone!

In Mail with Snow Leopard you could number your e-mails. Can this be done with Lion?

Partner going mad because he's convinced I've tried to gain access to his iPad 4 . It's disabled for 5 mins after he entered the wrong passcode just once . Is this a glitch? I haven't touched it ! Please help?

Ok .... My partner is going mad because he is convinced I have tried to access his iPad 4. He typed in the wrong pass code just once and it has disabled itself for 5 mins leaving him convinced that I have tried to get into it . I haven't. He is really angry and I've done nothing . Now he has turned the wifi off and my kids can't play their xboxes .
Is this a glitch possible on ipad4?
What other possible causes are there?
The iPad has been banged screen down on hard surface a couple of times..... Could this attribute to the issue?
Please will someone answer me? He wont believe me and I haven't touched anything

If the iPad has been "banged down on hard surface" it is possible that just a touch of the screen, or coming near the screen, may have resulted in a false entry. Or it could be the kids.
Either way you need to dump your partner and get your kids out of that environment. Your partner has anger management issues and needs counseling.

I can't type my passcode for some app because the keyboard just wont show. Is this another flaw? Can some 1 give me a solution for this?

For some apps the keyboard just cant show when i want to type the passcode, any solution? Or is this another flaw/bug?

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).
