Save picture as... option for macs

I'm not sure if this belongs in this section or not but i'm brand new to mac and the forums so please bare with me! hehe.
When using other computers that are not a mac you can visit a web page and right click on a picture and 'save picture as..." to a folder on you computer.
i can't seem to do that with my MacBook.
there must be a way to save pictures from the internet right?
also I haven't been able to find a copy and paste option.
Please help me!
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Because the MacBook does not have a built-in right-click button, you must invoke the contextual menu a different way. You can hold down on the "control" key while clicking on something and the menu should appear. Then you can save a picture from a Web page to your computer.
There are several other ways to customize the contextual menu, if you like.

Why can't I save something in Word for Mac?

When I try to save something to Word for Mac, it says that the HD if full. It's not. I've only had my computer for a year and I can't save anything to a flash drive either. Help, please!

I clicked on the HD and it said that I had 203.58 GB available, Capacity is 499.25 GB. Format is journaled.
Once I decided to save it as a .docx file, it let me (but my computers at school are so old, I can't open them there.) When this wouldn't work the other night, I ended up rebooting it and it worked. Unfortunately, it did it again today.
It says that it's only 393 KB so it's not too big.

If you can, you want MATCHED, TRIPPLE CHANNEL, ECC registered ram with the same timings as the original ram. I found that 1333mhz ram of that type is a bit easier to find these days (any faster ram will work in the your macpro). Anyhoo, I found 12 GB of ram 3x4gb (oh yeah, and tripple channel ram likes to be installed in three's so if you can stick with only 3 chips of ram unless you are making it out or something.) for like $150. If you keep your eyes pealed you can get a great deal.

"system restore" option for Macs?

I'm sorry for the PC lingo, but I'm really new to Macs and I'm having a real problem. I tried to run a software update today on my Macbook, the computer froze during installation and now everything seems to be going crazy and not working!
Is there an option on Macs similar to "system restore" on a PC that will allow me to revert my computer to the way it was this morning, before all my problems occurred?

A similar thing happened to me. I purchased 8 days before the upgrade. I had the $1499 black MB. When I got the email about new models and I saw their new features I felt upset. Rather than fuming about it I picked up the phone and called the Apple store. I spoke to the manager who graciously agreed to exchange mine out for no restocking fee. I had been using Time Machine, so even though I had the thing loaded up, I did one last back up. I then re-installed a clean OS to get rid of my personal data.
The best part was bringing the new one home last night. I started it up, attached the Time Machine drive and used migration assistant from the word 'GO'. It was the simplest computer upgrade I have ever done! I did have to repair permissions and re-install my network printer, but everything else JUST WORKED! Including Parallels and my Win XP.
I am very pleased at my Apple customer service experience. This is my 3rd Apple computer in the last 1.5 years. I have been using PC's since '91 when I converted from an Apple 2C. I have had a few challenging issues,especially with my iMac, but I can't see ever going back to a PC at this point.

What is the EFI boot option for mac, and why is my Mac having problems with it?

I just updated my 2012 Macbook Pro to 10.9, and I am having some problems with it. I have a bootcamp partition on it and regularly awitch between mac and windows, and 2when I went to switch nack to my Mac side, It said EFI boot nstead of the regular Macintosh HD. When I choose that option, the aple logo comes up and progress bar appears. Once the progress bar finishes, the computer shuts off and doesnt do anything. When I turn it on again, it just starts the efi boot again and shuts off when it finishes. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix this. All help is extremely appreciated.

That usually happen because the OS X partition got corrupted. Abiotu the only fix for that is to reinstall OS X and to do that you might have to completely erase the drive or repartition it as one partition. Which will wipe out the Windows side. So backup everthing you can before you start.

Is Fusion 1TB upgrade best option for Mac mini 2014?

I am in the process of finalising the purchase of a 2014 Mac mini. Bearing in mind the once only nature of the purchase, I am going for highest spec.
My question is will the expensive Fusion 1TB option offer best overall performance? Will be used with Thunderbird Apple display.

At all costs avoid the standard hard drive - it is a huge performance bottleneck. The Fusion drive is fantastic if you have lots of stuff and want to avoid using an external hard drive to store all that stuff. If you have nowhere near 256GB of stuff and don't anticipate taking lots of digital photos, video, or downloading music, then the SSD is a better choice. While the fusion drive provides superior speed compared to the internal drive it cannot match the speed of an SSD once you've added enough data and programs to fill the SSD portion of the drive. (That's a simplistic explanation but accurate none-the-less.)
When I purchased my 2012 iMac I chose the Fusion drive because I wanted to avoid using an external drive for my data. I'm happy with the trade-off of speed vs size with the iMac and the lack of wires all over the place. Had I not been interested in avoiding the snake nest of wires I'd have chosen the SSD and external drive.

Kid games (ages 3-5) options for mac

A friend has a good Blues Clues game that his 3 year old can play on his PC (matching colors and shapes and stuff). I've been trying to find something similar for my 3 year old daughter who only thinks of the mac as something to use to talk to her grandmother (iChat) with and does not get the concept of pushing buttons or using a mouse.
I've been checking stores and can't seem to find anything. Also searching on line but seem to only get PC options.
Question - Is there anybody with kids that has a suggestion? Ideally I would prefer to either order online or download online.
Thanks,
Tony

Binary file save - bug in lv8 for MAC ?

Hi,
Using LV8 on Mac OSX, I found a bug concerning binary file saving (attached file).
Write an array of double in a binary file. Read it back.
If you used little endian,ok. If you used Big-endian, result is wrong (but no error).
Could a mac user replicate ?

Just as an additional data point, everything works fine under Windows.
(As a workaround, have you tried flattening the data for writing? I don't have a MAC, so I cannot test.)

Cannot save file in word for mac 2011

When I tried to save a word file, the system keep telling me "this file is being used by another program, please save again" then the file name turned into something like "Word Work File L_230232796.tmp" and I have to choose another name for the file. Besides, sometimes the new file cannot be opened correctly. How can I solve it?

perhaps ignore a little the standard search microsoft forum response above for the moment, the problem may lie with apple, as I doubt these problems occurred with snow leopard and previous, as its the new OSX file versioning autosaving features that seemed to have cause allot of issues not just with office, my clients cant stand the lack of "save as" for instance, this new autosave features also has a hidden ability to lock files older than a certain age hidden within time machine preferences this might and I say "might" be the issue in question although "blocked" is more unusual in contrast to to the more common "locked" as an error, follow the following points in order >
1: just check this article to see whether it may help with your issue.
http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_disable_os_x_lion_file_locking
2: do the standard updates software routine to both office and osx you can, ie to 10.7.5 for lion for instance.
3: do the standard disk utility permissions repair, although this sadly only affects, files other than user folders, user folder permission repair can be done but is more complicated.
4: some with this issue recommend turning off time machine backups completely, as it also seems to interact with this issue, test this ?
5: check with docs of different files sizes to establis whether its file size related and respond back to the thread
6: if related to dropbox make sure its fully updated, aagan try saving in a different file location and test respond back to the thread
7: Note also lion and mountain lion have changed and tightened quite a bit the permissions and user control over OSX and file locations etc, for the endless over perceived security risks out there, meaning for instance lion will no longer let you save files to root without putting in your password etc, so Might I suggest also making sure that where your saving your word documents is within the user folder temporarily ? and see whether that resolves the issue. ie the file saving location in question maybe the issue.
8: Sadly if you recently did an "upgrade to Lion", some Software issues may also resolved by reinstalling the said software afterwards, negating the point of an upgrade install, but anyway … as that can sometimes resolve issues with software from a Lion Upgrade.
further : if this is related to a temporary file save location within the application package as some software makers seem to do ? then permissions repair may have resolved it or it may require a microsoft update to the office suite if so, I thought doc temp files as regards microsoft documents were saved alongside the original file ? could be a temp elsewhere though perhaps in the Microsoft folder in the user>library>application support maybe the issue stems from permissions there ? a search can reveal how to repair the permissions on the user folder which cannot be done through disk utility as standard, though i doubt this will resolve it. OS X lion and up and the new autosave feature, versioning and file locking time machine backups and the lack of "save as in some application have created allot of issues for allot of people you are not alone in these issues.

Cant't find 32-bit option for Mac OSx

I'm running PSD 5 on OSx 10.7. I'm trying to edit a photo and when I try to find the 32-bit option, it's not there. I went to the finder in the Photoshop application for the box to check off 32-bit and it wasn't there. Do I need a specific plugin for this purpose?

If you click the Photoshop CS5 application icon in the Finder and Get Info you will be able to select Open in 32-Bit Mode.
If you're not seeing the above you are probably selecting the FOLDER, you need to select the application itself.

Can't Save Microsoft Word & Excel for MAC files

Has anyone encounter the software bug that prevent you from saving Microsoft for Word .doc and Excel workbook files to a USB drive attached to the Airport Extreme. After numerous conversations with level 2 technical support and a visit to the Apple Store where we recreated the problem with different Apple components, they confirmed there is a bug in their Airport Extreme Disk utility software. If you run into this problem, here is the solution:
Under the Apple icon, select Go, Connect to Server. Under the drive address, type smb://10.0.1.1 This solves the problem. Delete the Airport Disk utility software from the startup program list and add the network drive associated with the smb server address into the startup file to automatically attach to the network when you log in.

This is a well known issue and has been discussed in several threads. Here are a few:
MS Word can't save to Airport Disk
MS Word doesn't want to save docs to Airport Extreme connected HD
Problems saving excel doc on USB AirPort disk
Saving to external HD on USB

Cable modem options for Mac Pro/OS X 10.5?

I'm going to upgrade to cable modem and want to purchase my own modem rather than lease. I'm looking at the Motorola SB5100 series. A few years ago, some serious computability issues were reported for all models in this series except the SB5120:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16772229
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=568881
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=614605
Are these computability issues still present in Intel-based Macs running on OSX 10.5? Also, if there are computability issues, is that only true with direct connections, or is it also the case if I'm using a router?
Just wondering, because a few other reports I've read describe the SB5120 as buggy compared to the SB5101 model. So I just want to make sure I'm going with the one that's going to give me the best speed and least problems.

I just bought today and installed a Motorola SBG900 modem that replaces both the leased Comcast modem and a Netgear wireless router (I'm typing this with my laptop using the wireless connection). See my earlier post at:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1620688&tstart=0
It's a little pricey but its worth it to eliminate the extra cables and cords. If your cable service is Comcast, you will have to call to have them log in your new modem's HFC MAC ID (the Motorola installation disk doesn't work on Macs).

Graphics card upgrade options for Mac Pro (early 2008) Model 3.1

Hi,
What are my options if I wish to upgrade the stock graphics card? I seem to remember there being one that was about £80 but I can no longer check as the site is only listing the 2009 mac pros now.
Any assistance would be gratefully received!

Your current options are:
ATI 2600
Nvidia 8800
Nvidia 5600
Or third-party ATI 3870 Mac/PC Edition.
Presumably the new ATI 4870 will work in the Early 2008 MP, but requires OS X 10.5.7 which is not yet released. You can find benchmarks at Bare Feats.
