Please give us back "Save as" in Preview

I typically save high-quality PNG images from my 3D software, but send clients JPG images as proofs, during a working process.
The lack of "Save as" in Preview means extra steps for me now. I have to first create a "duplicate", then save it. "Versions" is a wonderful idea, but please let us have "Save as" too, so I can keep my faster workflow.
(I've submitted this directly to Apple, but in case staff members read these posts, thought I'd add it here too.)
Thank you.

Sorry LionDeveloper but I'm not buying that explanation. What more do I need to know about "how files work"?
I've followed 4 or 5 "how to" suggestions including Duplicate but none will allow me to actually save my resized image. I can get to the Save dialogue box but when I try to save the resized image it tells me I don't have permission to save it.
I am so incredibly frustrated with this I'm seriously considering reverting back to Snow Leopard!
For now I'm having to do all this work on my PC because I can't do it on my Mac anymore (since upgrading to Lion)!
Signed,
One (now) frustrated Mac user
EDIT: OK, I've found that "Export" will allow me to reduce then save like I want to do but I still want the old "Save As" functionality back. Thanks

APPLE.. Please give me back iOS5, I DON'T WANT iOS5.0.1

I have been a proud Apple products user, and now I don't know.. I request Apple to take back your iOS5.0.1 and give me back iOS5, I was very happy with iOS5 and now 5.0.1 had made my life miserable.. battery drains superfast, time issues, songs wont play, network suddenly drops and starts searching, I never ever ever experienced these things with iOS5, please give iOS5 back to me, I DON'T NEED iOS5.0.1
Please make me a proud user again..

You could also try a full restore.

I restarted my iphone and when it booted back up i received a loud pining sound with a message stating please give me back my iphone. it popped up for a second and went away.

I just restarted my iphone because of lag and when it popped back up there was a loud pinging sound with a message that appeared that stated give me back my iphone. It went away after a few seconds and the sound stopped. I restarted 4 times since then to see if it happened again but it never occured.
After doing a bit of looking around online i noticed that messages like these appear through the find my iphone app. I bought the phone new a year ago from my provider and broke it right out of the box and everything so i know didnt buy a stolen phone or anything.
Help or adice on the issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I thought about maybe i was somehow messing around in icloud but i dont quite recall doing that but with new toys you never know what you may press. I just wanted to see if there was some sort of glitch going around perhaps.
I've changed my passwords for all my accts to be on the safe side as it is looking like there is no glitch that may cause this.
it's beginning to look more and more like it was caused by a person.
thanks a bunch.

Why Bing? Please give me back Google...

Bing comes back every time I remove it and restart Firefox. I tried many times, even removing it completely from my system, but it keeps on coming back as a default setting...
Both in the separate toolbar and as the "background" search engine in my browser.
Is this a new policy?? It's kind of horrible. I may switch to Chrome if this can't be solved.
Hope you can help.
Thanks,

9.0.5.2 IDE: please give me back the "rebuild" context menu

Hi, in several cases the "make" on a package or file does not compile my contained sources after removing the previous compiled .class files from the classes directory.
A workaround seems to be deleting the *.cdi file.
But anyhow, could you please readd the rebuild file / package to the editor and navigator node context menu?
Thanks, Markus

Yes, you have found the right workaround, that whenever you delete one or more .class(es) from the output directory, you must remove the .cdi file at the root of the output directory.
We are working to improve this in the current version in development, you shouldn't really need the rebuild of a package, make should always do the right thing. But when you go out and delete manually some .class(es), it won't do the right thing.

Please give me back my backlight toggle

With my previous iPod, I would always leave the backlight off and toggle it on and off with the MENU button.
And yet now...I'm unable to do this. I know I can add a backlight option to the main menu, but that's a hassle compared to what I was able to do before. I dislike the preset backlight timers because I hate having the backlight turn on every time I adjust the volume.
Asus Z71V Windows XP Pro

This bothers me because older iPods used to have
the feature where holding down MENU would manually
toggle the backlight.
And this is exactly how the 5G (video) iPod works
with version 1.0 of the iPod OS.
It was removed on iPod version 1.1.
Thank you for both of your replies.
I made sure Apple received my feedback, but now I'm torn between fixing my backlight situation and giving up support for my radio remote.

Ever since I agreed to install the new Mozilla Firefox I can't even send an e-mail successfully. I want the old Mozilla Firefox back and I will never agree to a newer version of anything. Please give me the old version back.

I want my old Mozilla Firefox back because ever since I agreed to try the new Firefox, I've had nothing but problems every single time I try to send an e-mail. What used to be easy and quick, now is difficult and takes an inordinate amount of time; sending it over and over, and telling the message that tells me something like a page is not responding, to send it again or quit; and I have to do this many times over to get it to send a text. That has never happened before. I will never agree to a newer version again. Just please give me back my old Mozilla Firefox.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher

The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

recently had to purchase a replacement phone a friend of mine had backed up the data on the lost phone to his Mac laptop how do I get that backed up data from the lost iPhone that's on his Mac laptop to my new replacement phone? Please give step by step instructions xoxoxo
And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

I have OSX 10.6.6 MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and i am trying to format my whole hard drive (back to factory settings) from the original CD. Can someone please give instructions?

2. Insert the Snow Leopard disc and press the C key while your Mac is starting to start from the DVD.
3. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.

Please bring back "save as" !

what happened to save as??? I need it to work fast and need to do far more clicks now.
If you agree then please send messages to apple in any way you can to promote
them to bring back " save as" ! It is a vital function to keep track of files
and to work faster.
let me know what you think. ! Thank you

I'm writing to ask apple for this topic. Then I saw your topic underneath, I would better reply.
I agree with you and wanna ask Apple about "Don't you know that the "duplicate" got my life so complicated and I prefer to get "save as" back.
I open my file and edit, adjust and modify but I would like to keep the original file and save this edited file in another name but OK I choosed duplicate I saved another name THEN??? My old file was chenged and save automatically the same as new name duplicated file!!! For what?
By the "save as" I never found this complicated and easier.
PLEASE BRING BACK "SAVE AS"
I wish you are listening to this little voice.

Yes, everyone send feedback to Apple and ask for it back.

I've bought 640 rubies pack and have used it. But the day after, my pack ran out. I'd appreciate if you could give me back my pack or help me in any way possible.

The Glu Customer Care answer my question;
Hello, and thank you for contacting Glu Mobile Customer Care
The game you mentioned does not save online. If you have made a backup using "iCloud" or "iTunes backup" then you may be able to restore to that last save point on your device which will include whatever you had for currency at the time when the save was created.
Unfortunately, we do not have a way to restore game progress, this is done by the user on the device itself using the backup and restore method for the entire device.
If you have not performed a backup save for your device before this problem happened and you have lost currency from purchases, please contact the iTunes store customer service to inquire about your purchase and request help regarding this loss of currency issue.. Apple does not allow developers to handle billing issues.
If you get an answer saying that In-App purchases are the responsibility of the developer, please insist that they assist you as we have no way of accessing their purchase records. We are the developer and do not have access to any account or billing information on the iTunes App Store.
We hope this information assists you and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Glu Mobile Customer Care

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support. You say that you used the pack that you bought and that it then ran out - does that mean that you used it all up ? If you didn't use it all up but your game lost the purchase then you can try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

TUTORIAL: Disable Auto Save, Versions and bring back Save As

1. Quit the app(s) you want to configure.
2. Launch Terminal.
3. Paste the command below in the Terminal window, then replace 'name of app' with the name of whatever app you want to configure (e.g. 'textedit'), before hitting Enter:
defaults write -app 'name of app' ApplePersistence -bool no
Alternatively, you can configure all apps at once with the following command:
defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no
I don't recommend doing this, though, because, for some reason, it slows down the login process considerably.
For TextEdit only, you also need to run another command, as a workaround for errors that prevents it from functioning correctly:
defaults write -app textedit AutosavingDelay -int 0
4. Relaunch the app(s).
5. Enjoy you considerably less infuriating Mac!
If you don't see any changes, a relogin will in most cases do the trick (if not, the app probably uses a non-standard saving mechanism).
Please note: Although this brings back Save As in most apps, this is sadly not the case with Preview and iWork.
To undo any of the above commands, run:
defaults delete -app 'name of app' ApplePersistence
defaults delete -g ApplePersistence
defaults delete -app textedit AutosavingDelay
P.S. If you want to remove data already stored by Versions, you need to delete the hidden .DocumentRevisions-V100 folder in the root directory of your disk(s).

Why?
Because the "Ask to keep changes when closing documents" setting doesn't actually turn off Auto Save and can cause loss of data.
Because the Save As "feature" in Mountain Lion, isn't actually the traditional Save As that OS X had prior to Lion, but a useless, mock version that is likely to cause data loss.
Because Apple still refuses to offer any way of disabling Versions.
Or, in other words:
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/07/31/phil-schiller-re-iterates-apple-doesnt-a sk-consumers-what-they-want/

Please give us back "Save as" in Preview
