Lion: What happened to "Dont Replace" when copying files?

Lion: What happened to "Dont Replace" when copying files?
That is such a MANDATORY option when copying files.
Ex: I want to copy my TV shows to a directory. Half of the TV shows are already in that directory. If I select REPLACE, then I have to WAIT for the duplicate files to overwrite. If I select KEEP BOTH, I end up with copies and it takes the same amount of time.
What gives?

Apple removed it and the users here can't tell you why. Your best option is to send Apple feedback.

  • What happens to autosaved copies when a file is deleted?

    Was just working with a 1 GB image file in Preview. Used to work just fine in Leopard, but the autosave function in Lion keeps saving backups that I don't want. And not just diffs- I suspect it's saving copies of the entire file, because I have added >45 GB to my hard drive this afternoon just working with this single image! Finally completely crashed Preview and corrupted the file. I've deleted it, but the junk on my hard drive still remains. Will it be deleted on restart, or what? How can I root the copies out and get rid of them? At this rate, my hard drive will be full in a month.
    Hate to say it, but I'm switching to a Windows machine now to work with this. At least it's predicatable.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you want to be sure, then open up Finder and check <your-home-folder>/Library/Mail. For every account set up in Apple Mail there is a folder there (labeled after the account) containing the messages.

    What happen to front row when I went to mountain lion?

    Front Row is no longer supported. However, there are several applications that can do the same job for you (quite nicely, actually) and that work with ML. Try searching the Mac App Store. Also: there are uncountable threads about this over at the Front Row forum.

  • HT204150 I have synced an iPhone 4S with iCloud - I now have a 5C to replace it. What happens to my data when I retire the 4S - does it need the original device to save my data?

    I have synced an iPhone 4S with iCloud - I now have a 5C to replace it. What happens to my data when I retire the 4S - does it need the original device to save my data?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have restored your new phone from the backup of your old phone and ensured that everything is working correctly, you should first turn off "find my phone" on the old phone and then erase it, before you get rid of it.

    ". If I de-authorize all the pc's, is it possible to re-authorize the ones I need authosized?"
    Yes.
    "What will happen when i now sync my iPhone and iPad with the new laptop?"
    Any time you sync an iphone/ipod touch/ipad to a new computer, then the current content will be erased and replaced with content form the new computer.  You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • HT4707 what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud?

    what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud? Can I still access Keychain passwords?

    Thanks Carolyn,
    And yes. Keychain does still work.
    But why-oh-why do Apple have to give contradictory information yet again in the sign up process? It seems they just want to cover their arses so much that they would rather give out misleading information, that something might go wrong, just in case it does, than tell us everything will be OK & then if we lose data, we, (Americans with a penchant for litigation), are automatically going to sue thier bollocks off.
    This happens so many times with pop-up warnings. I'm running two macs & an iphone and I very nearly didn't go for Lion & icloud and seriously considered going back to Windows. Only a chance conversation in an Apple store stopped me and made me persevere through the warnings.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match?

    What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match? Can I still access it and iTunes just stops matching new songs I add or is the whole thing not accessible anymore to download or play?

    iTunes 7 will convert your existing library, but iTunes 6 and earlier will not recognize the new library format.

  • What happens in EP technically when we click on some folder?

    Hi Experts,
    I have following question - what happens in EP technically when user clicks on some folder?
    I just want to know the exact sequence of events that takes place - I know some of the events like the role of user is checked. Then system checks that what all pages, iviews, etc have been been assigned to folder. The system then finally displays the all objects under the folder.
    But I want to know in depth what happens some thing at core programming level.
    In fact in my project we have created 2 folder. Some iviews have been assigned to folder.
    Suppose name of folders are A and B. We want to pass value 1 to SAP BW when A is selected. We want to pass value 2 to SAP BW when B is selected.
    How we can do so?
    Pls help.
    Thanks

    Hi Kedar,
    Thanks for the help. In fact in my project we have created separate folders.
    For some functionality we have created 5 iviews and assigned it to folder A.
    For some functionality we have created 5 iviews and assigned it to folder B.
    We have to pass  Value Type = 1 to BW for iviews of folder A.
    We have to pass  Value Type = 2 to BW for iviews of folder B.
    How this can be done? Please help.
    Thanks

  • What happens to my Iphotos when I'm blogging?

    The problem I've been having is when I try to upload photos to my blogspot blog.  I CAN  find them on Iphoto but they aren't there when I'm going through my blog to upload them.  Does that make sense?

    What happens to iTunes credit when you use family sharing.

    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

  • HT5085 What happen if I lose the music files from my desktop but I have the music in my devices (ipad & ipod)?

    What happen if I lose the music files from my desktop but I have the music in my devices (ipad & ipod)?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
