Hi Tony,
Thanks for the fast reply. It is not that 'save as' is greyed out...it is not an option at all. This is ONLy for the attachment...I can save the whole message, but it is only the attachment I am concerned about. When I CTRL-click, or use any of the other save possibilities, my only options are Open Attachment, Open With, Save Attachment..., Save to Downloads Folder. When I select Save Attachment, I can choose the folder where it is saved, but I cannot rename the file.

What happened to "Save As" for pdfs in Lion?
What happened to "Save As" for pdfs in Lion? Now there's "Save a Version" which doens't appear to do anything, and Duplicate, which seems redundant...
How is this new approach saving me time?It's not, but it's Apple.
Apple's approach with its Versions and Autosave features is to do away with the need to Save As altogether since the system's default "Save" feature already does this.
As you make changes to a document, the system should continuously save all prior versions of it automatically, and you should be able to access these at any time and then duplicate it to continue working. In this way, the system is to an extent always performing "Save As" commands and leaving prior versions in the past, so instead of proactively saving a new copy to preserve your current layout, this layout should exist as-is which you can go to by browsing the saved versions, and then duplicating to a new document to continue working if needed. -
I have OSX 10.6.8 - how do I make room on mac HD for Lion?
I have a Mac Pro 1.1 with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leoprad. I want to move all my music, photos, and videos to other hard drives so i will have more room in Mac HD for Lion etc. I have not been to do this. Any suggestions?
Thanks.If you have a MacBook Pro 1,1 then forget it, stay on 10.6.8.
Use Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your OS X 10.6 boot volume to another blank GUID OS X extended formatted drive. (use the Secure Erase > Zero feature on the drive first to eliminate any bad sectors) this is your 10.6 clone so you can boot and use PPC based apps your going to lose going to 10.7/10.8 or to come back to 10.6 if you won't like the Lions.
Hold option key down on a wired keyboard to boot from the clone drive and check it out.
Next zero erase your entire 10.6 original boot drive holding option from the 10.6 installer disk
Reinstall 10.6 from the disks (same account name), reinstall iLife from the second disks and call Apple if you want to upgrade to 10.7 specifically but your MacPro 1,1 can go to 10.8 directly from AppStore.
Now your machine is bare bones, install your 10.8 compatible third party programs/upgrades etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
On another drive setup duplicate Music2, Pictures2, Movies2 and Document2 folders and copy your files from the clone into them. Thus only on the boot drive is programs and OS X, no files.
You can command drag items like the original Documents, Music, Pictures folders off the Finder window sidebar and use the Music2, Pictures2, Movies2 etc there instead. However some programs will still try to save things automatically in the original user folders.
When you launch say iPhoto in 10.8 against the older 10.6 iPhoto Library, it will update it.
This sounds like a lot more work, but it's really giving you a solid footing, a stable fast system and free of crapola.
I always take a extra mile in being through to eliminate as many potential issues as possible, as it's cheaper and less hassle than cure, my machines always run well and fast, even Windows ones. -
Where is the install package stored from the app store for Lion?
This is an all new way of deploying OS updates from Apple. From what I can see, this presents some issues:
1. Where is the install package that I bought from the app store, and how can I save that offline?
2. If there's a problem with my device in the future, I have no media of Lion to restart from- so what's the procedure to restore from a TM backup? Go back to 10.6, and then to the 10.7 update?
3. What if I want to boot from disc or a drive? I don't have a copy of the install to make a bootable image.
Thanks for the helpOK, once you install Lion the Installation Package gets deleted. However once you have installed Lion, do following:
- Open the AppStore Application
- With pressed Option (on German Keyboard ALT) Key klick on the "Purchased" Tab!
- You will now see that the prviously greyed out "Install" key for Lion becomes active
- Download the install package
- Do not start installation
- In order to create a bootable DVD or USB drive containing the installer follow instructions posted on
http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml
This is how you can create installation media.
For maintenance options (means your Lion installation has some problems but your drive is still OK)
you can boot from the hidden recovery partitions that was created when you installed Lion.
To do so, press the Option (ALT) Key while booting. You will have now the option to boot from
Lion or recovery partition.
Hope this helps! -
EFI update 2.1 for lion recovery in Mountain lion
When the EFI update 2.1 for lion recovery in Mountain lion is done and when i restart my Macbook, the sleep indicator flashes and the machine makes a beeping sound for about 3 seconds and the machine starts up. Any thing to be worried about..? I beleive the the update is not installed bcoz it still shows in the App Store as update available. Pls advise.

OS X MOUNTAIN LION -
I found out that an 06 mac pro cannot be updated to anything more recent than lion. They guys at the local shop told me this after they tried to update it for me so I could run logic pro 9 in 64 bit mode. I bought lion. Waited two days for the emails. Spent hours following the instructions which sounded so simple until you try them. Finally I found the "redeem" button that was hidden because the size of my safari window was too small to show it and there was no bar at the bottom to scroll over. Without googling "how do you find the app store" and "how do you find quick links" I never would have figured it out. I only mention this so that others may learn from my mistakes. Finally I downloaded lion, supposedly, but nothing happened. There is no indication that anything downloaded, other than the fact that when I try to download it again, it says it's already been downloaded. I spent four hundred bucks at the shop updating, plus whatever they charged me for lion, and I've still got snow leopard and logic pro running at 32 bits. I'm pretty sure nobody can help me, but could you please arrange for the return of my time?
You can go to "Purchases" tab and check again.
If OS X Lion is still not downloading, try at a different network environment.
By the way, Mac Pro (2006) with a newer graphics card runs Mavericks perfectly with modifications in the installer.
It's not allowed to be discussed here, but you can simply google how to do it. -
BHow do I set up the dual boot for Lion and snow leopard oon the same internal hard disK
What does Time machine do under the dual boot?I am also considering putting Lion and SL on separate hard drives.
Since this is an iMac forum, I assume you will use an external drive as the second drive. Use one that connects via firewire, not via USB.
Both on a single drive -
OK. Doing it on a single drive means you will need to partition the internal drive. Although this is straight forward, it is always best to back up the existing drive first, just in case. It's a good idea to have a backup on a different drive, anyway.
To do that, clone the entire internal drive to the external drive.
I would suggest, though, that you first partition the external drive. I would suggest four equal-size partitions, provided the drive is big enough - at least 1.0TB, though a 2.0TB drive might be better. You can use OS X's disk utility to do that. Go to the Partition page in Disk Utility, select your external driv in the list on the left, then use the Partition Layout menu to select the number of partitions. Set the format to Mac OS Extended (journaled) GUID for all partitions. Click the Apply button.
The easy way to do the cloning is to use a cloning utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Clone the entire internal drive to one of the partitions on the external drive. Then test boot to it (use Startup Disk in System Preferences to do that) to verify the integrity of the clone. At that time I would suggest you change the background design/picture for the desktop to aomething other than the one used on the original drive - this can be a handy visual reminder of which volume you are booted to.
Then add a partition to the internal drive. To do that, run Disk Utility. Go to the Partition page, select your internal drive in the list on the left, but do not use the Partition Layout menu this time. Instead, click the existing volume in the graphic display, then click the plus ("+") button underneath that display -
This will add a partition without erasing the existing information - i.e., the drive will end up with two partitions, one of which will contain your original boot volume.
Use Startup Disk to re-select your original boot violume, and restart back into it.
Now, clone the original drive again using CCC, but this time to the second partition of the internal drive, the one you just added.
Boot to that freshly cloned volume to verify it. Then, while still booted to it, install OS X 10.7 Lion onto it.
This will result in your original Snow Leopard on the first partition of the internal drive, and Lion on the second partition of the internal drive.
The external drive will have Snow Leopard on one partition, one partition will be empty (available for a clone of Lion if you wish, or use it for extra storage). The remaining two partitions can be used for Time Machine backups - one for Snow Leopard, one for Lion.
If you want to have each OS on its own hard drive, then you can use the first clone of Snow Leopard to the external to be upgraded to Lion, or upgrade the orignal on the internal drive to Lion. Be sure to boot to the volume to be used for Lion before installing it so that Lion is installed onto the correct boot volume.
You can then use the empty partition on the internal drive as the backup (or Time Machine) volume for the OS on the external drive, and vice versa. In this arrangement you may need only partition the external into two volumes.
If you have a different scheme in mind for partitioning, feel free to do that. I don't use Time Machine, so don't have the need to make space for it. Carbon Copy Cloner can be used to do incremental backups after the initial backup - but I don't use that, either. I'm old school - after the inital cloning for backup, I do manual backups of files on the fly.
Comments -
* I would suggest keeping both Snow Leopard and Lion on the internal drive. Reason - even though firewire 800 is fast, it is still noticeably slower than an internal drive. OS's on an external drive will run slower than those on an internal drive.
• I don't like the concept of Time Machine. Amongst other things, it seems to want more space on the target volume than it actually needs; and it is not a bootable replication. A clone of a bootable volume is bootable.
• It was just a few days ago that I went through the same process as you are planning. One slight difference - I used a 1.0TB external partitioned into 3 equal volumes, since I had no need to allow space for Time Machine. I have Snow Leopard and Lion each on its own partition of the internal drive; and cloned backups of each on the external drive, plus one GP partition on the external drive.
• If you have not yet downloaded Lion, be prepared for it to take a while; it's almost 4GB in size. Probably be a good idea to defeat sleep for the duration.
• Cloning takes a while, but not that long - it took 30 minutes to clone 45GB to the external drive, and 45 minutes to clone it to the second internal partition. -
I want my SnowLeopard manual-save back in Lion.
To Mac OS X Lion Product Manager:
Here's a list of annoyances and frustrations re Lion autosave:
I save my work at conceptual checkpoints that make sense to me. When autosave keep saving my files my history gets dirty so quickly that revision history doesn't make sense to me anymore. It's more difficult to get back to a version where I can correlate to my checkpoint.
Frequently, I open 'Numbers' documents for what-if analysis without intension to save it at all. When autosave kicks in, it modifies the time signature of the document. Then every time before quitting, I have to "Revert to the original", or to create a duplicate and close the original; i.e., I have to do more thing that I don't used to do before. What happened to Apple's philosophy of non-intrusiveness? (BTW, full screen was nice :-)
When working on regular hard disk drives (not even mentioning network drives) autosave is just distraction and annoyance. It keeps bugging me every time it tries to save. When files get slightly larger (such iWork files) even SSD disk drive becomes annoying. (Don't get me wrong; I have 2011 17" MacBook Pro with fastest i7 processor.)
All machines that we do critical work has either battery or UPS. I have not witnessed Mac OS X crash more than once in two years. That said, what do we afraid of? Loosing what exactly? Paranoia, as we see in politics, should not be our motivation.
The reason I moved away from MS-Windows because it got more and more intrusive over time with the assumption that they need to design an operating system so easy even very naive persons can use it. There is thin line there, when you cross it you start annoying normal people. If you remember human intelligence bell-curve, normal people are the majority. With autosave, I see the a similar pattern in Mac OS X (sad but true). Please don't cross that line or give us an option if you do.
Because of iWork autosave, I reinstalled my Lion and from scratch and installed iWork with the latest update for SnowLeopard -- without autosave. This time 'Software Update' is keep bugging me, but this is much lesser annoyance that I can live with.
That said, I want my manual save back in Lion as an option for the rest of us, normal people, professional working people -- if you really care about our experience.
Very frustrated Mac lover.
(I love everything else in Lion.)We are all users like you here. There is no guarantee that any of the Apple programmers will read your post. I suggest you leave feedback for Apple for Lion as well as each of the apps you miss Save As… in.
Also, you posted in the iWork for iOS forum. The better location would be one of the iWork for Mac forums.
Take a look at this thread for a workable solution. -

rename the duplicate inserting a date_time stamp, create a text box store the pathname to the source folder and the short name of the original.
After that you may work upon the document. From time to time, click the script's icon to save the document

My iDisk is : <http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>Here is an other one.
Read carefully the explanations given at the very beginning, in French then in English.
With this one you master the time when you save. CAUTION, Autosave is unable to do it's duty when you work on a document open with the script so don't forget to ask the script to save from time to time.
With this dedicated to Numbers script, the most interesting piece of code is the one used to grab the status of the document when we open it to be able to reset it after inserting the items storing the path to folder to save in and the doc shortname.
--(SCRIPT Numbers_without_autosave]
Enregistrer le script en tant qu'application sur le Bureau.
Glisser une icône de document Numbers sur l'icône de l’application
ouvre le document, le duplique, ferme l'original renomme la copie en ajoutant l'information date_heure
crée une table dans une feuille afin d'y stocker le chemin d'accès au dossier source et le nom court du document original.
Travailler sur le document et de temps à autres, cliquer sur l'cône du script application afin d'enregistrer
le document et repartir avec une copie qui n'ayant jamais été enregistré ne sera pas autoenregistré.
Bien entendu, quand vous aurez fini de travailler sur le document il vous faudra l'enregistrer comme autrefois.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++++
Save the script as an application on the Desktop.
Drop a Numbers doc icon on the application's one, open the document, duplicate it, save the original if it was created from a template,
rename the duplicate inserting a date_time stamp, create a table in a sheet to store the pathname to the source folder and the short name of the original.
After that you may work upon the document. From time to time, click the script's icon to save the document and replace it by a fresh replicate. So this one which was never saved will not be autosaved.
When you have finished to work upon the doc, save it as you did in the past.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty.
I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty. I also have an email button on the form but that works correctly by not allowing the user to email the form with the required fields empty.
What script do I need to additionally restrict both printing and saving if the required fields are empty?
You would think that just setting that option would restrict those functions the same as it does for the email button.
Please be specific with your response if you are gracious enough to offer one. I have been searching the forum all morning for the answer to this and I really didn't understand any of the solutions offered to others enough to use those in my own form.
The required fields are:
Social (social security number)
Name
Headquarters
Residence
The next question I have is if there is a way to make individual signature fields mandatory if they are digital signatures?
In other words, I don't want the individual to be able to email the form to the next person if he/she hasn't applied their digital signature.Saving can always be done, even when mandatory fields are empty. This is by design. And that is correct. Suppose you have a big form and 2 people need to fill it out. How can you fill out a first part and then send it to the second person without saving.
Same for printing. Same for your signature fields.
What I would do, is to put a "watermark" on the form that you show on preSave and prePrint if the form is incomplete. Just a static text on your form. Then the user will see that they need to do more. Also, on preSave and prePrint, you can show a warning popup to tell the user about the missing fields. You can then still cancel their action if the user decides not to save/print anyway. -
Version to save PDF (for web view/printing)
Hello,
I am going to be linking an employment application on my client's website as a PDF. I am not sure what version to save it as (version for Acrobat Reader) so that it's most compatible with those visitors coming to the site. Does anyone know what would be a safe bet as far as what version to save my PDF as?
Also, does anyone have any tips on how to best save it for downloading online but then printing it out?
Thanks!
AshleyYou should probably go back to at least AA7, though there are those still using vers 4. You need to be a bit careful if you have added anything fancy, it will be lost. Also, if the form is to be used a lot (500 times is the limit), you do not want to activate Reader Rights (it is a violation for more than 500 uses). Just have the form submitted by having it printed or by submitting the form data (FDF file). For an application, you would want the submission to be to a web site (secure site preferred) due to the confidential information that would be included. The form data can be imported to the form using the FORMS>Manage Form Data>Import. You can do some database work directly from Acrobat (I am not good at that and the appropriate subforum is for forms) or you can use the tools in the FDF Toolkit to write server side code for the submission and data manipulation (there are Perl and C code examples in the toolkit).
Good luck. -

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?
Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck! -
New VisualHub updater for Lion seems to work great
I downloaded and ran the Visualhub updater for Lion, and converted a .mpg to flash, mpeg-2, h264, and wmv.
Unless I am missing something, we have been given quite a gift.
HughBut iMovie 06 works fine in Lion.
Apple knows that millions of people are still using iMovie 06, (with iDVD11) so continued compatibility is logical.
Thanks for the report. This is good news!
