Trying to save a document with a new file name

I have a IMacOSX Lion
I am very new to apple products
How do I save an existing document with a new file name thereby having two documents the old one and the new one with changes? Once a document has been saved once opening File no longer offers the save or Save as choice. Clicking on Save a version does not work either. Please help!

What application are you using?
Most Apple apps have adopted a new file saving scheme for what you describe. In Pages, for instance, you go to the File menu and select Duplicate. You end up with two documents, one labeled xxx copy (if the original was xxx). Now you can save xxx copy by using Save from the File menu, and change the name to whatever you want.
Hope this helps you. Best of luck.

  • I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

    I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

    Take a look at the FileSelector
    First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

  • Mavericks freezes whenever I try to save a document with a new tag

    I just started having a problem (or at least I think it is new) whenever I try to save a document with a new tag. With the exception of OmniOutliner, every program I've tried either freezes and I need to force-quit (Preview, Byword, Circus Pony Notebooks) or crashes (anything in Office 2011). I recently purchased Default Folder X (as part of the Mac productivity bundle), but I turned it off, I tried saving the file to a different location, and I tried rebooting. Still, the problem occurs. This occurs on two different machines (2013 Macbook Air and 2011 Macbook Pro).
    As I said, this problem only occurs if I try to save and create a new tag. If I just save without creating a new tag, or if I save the document and add a pre-existing tag, it saves without any problems. And what's really puzzling to me at least is that Omnioutliner saves a new tag without difficulties. Any suggestions?

    Given what you wrote,
    it's not a Pages problem but a System's one.
    Better to ask in a forum dedicated to this one.

    Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

    PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.

  • How do you save a document with a new name?

    OK  I decided to go with Pages as my document editor on my iPad 2.  It seems to be powerful enough to do the kind of text editing that I need to do. I need some tables, a few graphics, headers, footers, etc.  You know the basic stuff.  I am not going to try to write a dissertation or thesis on my iPad, but I need to be able to write memos and some work documents.
    I am having a hard time learning the Apple way of doing things I guess.  Must be too many years on a PC using Microsoft Office.
    But I need to know how to open an existing document, make some changes and then save it with a new name so I don't overwrite my original document? Just a basic "Save As" function.
    Is this possible?  Or has Apple devised a way that I am just not seeing yet?

    Hi
    Someone maybe can tell you another/the right way of doing this but I do it this way. In pages press and hold the document until it wiggles and then select it by touching it so the orange border appears around it, then press the folder button at the top, the one with the + sign on it and this will create an exact copy on the documents screen. Then just open and edit that one thus preserving the content of the original.
    There may well be a better way, but hope this helps.
    Regards
    Matt.

  • When trying to save a page, I can enter file name etc, but don't see the SAVE button to click SAVE. It's like it's below the screen or something. How do I fix this?

    I was in a webpage and was trying to save it. I selected SAVE AS from the drop down menu. Then I entered the file name, and selected TEXT ONLY as file type. Only thing left to do was click SAVE, but there was no SAVE button.

    You can check it DTA or another extension isn't causing this problem.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Saving PDF under new file name

    Hi,
    I'm using adobe to complete forms and wish to save the form under a new file name every time I complete one.  Is is possible on the iPad?
    Thanks

    We do not yet have the ability to rename or make copies of documents, but that is a very good feature request!

  • PDF form with one submit button that prints form and sanves PDF with data with a unique file name

    We have a long medical form that patients can fill out at kiosks as they wait to see a doctor. We want one button so that the patient can print out the form with one click (and finish filling it out by hand if it's not finished already) and the same button click will save the form with a unique file name (using last name, first name, date, and/or email address so that the identity of the person who filled out the form will be readily apparent to anyone who wants to grab the user's responses later). Is Acrobat capable of doing something like this? LiveCycle Designer maybe? And if we continue with the PDF form and add a submit button, is there a way to program the button click to print and to save?
    Thank you in advance of any suggestions that might accomplish this task.

    I am not sure about the print, but it can probably be done -- possibly with a bit of JavaScript. As to the saving of the form, that is not reasonable at a kiosk. You would want the data submitted to a server (particularly with patient data), no e-mail or accessible drive. You can collect the data and put it in a database or import it to the form for printing yourself.

  • Opening 2 PDF's with the same file name

    I have someone who has difficulty opening two PDF's with the same file name. They had a file open, then try to open another PDF document with the same file name as the original document, however it will not open (and no error displays) and reverts back to the "old" document. Any ideas?

    Are this diferent documents? What version of Adobe Reader?

  • Forced to save document with another new name?

    When I scan a document to a pdf, I open it and OCR the document.  It then tells me that I need to save the document with another name as the document is opened someplace else.  this is not true.  If I open a pdf and add a page to it, it tells me again that I need to save the document with a different name.  What is causing this problem?

    This cannot be done in Reader. Are you using Acrobat?

  • How To Save A Document With Lion X

    What exactly do I do to save a document with iWork 09, Pages, and Lion on an up to date 10.7.1?

    Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of support or troubleshooting documents yet on these new features, so we're all learning as we go....
    I've another idea: Have you checked the various versions? Open one of yours - try it with the original or a duplicate - and click on its name - see here:
    I opened a Pages doc, typed one word, saved it. Opened it again, added one more word and just closed it.
    Then I opened it again - see the dialog popup.
    Choose browse all versions and see what your various pages look like.

  • Office prompts for windows login, when i'm trying to save edited document

    Hello, i'm trying to disable webdav in office 2010.
    My setup is: Apache 2.2.4 with Kerberos "mod_auth_kerb" enabled, works fine.
    So fare i have this config:
    .htaccess:
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(OPTIONS|PROPFIND|HEAD)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Core\ Storage\ Infrastructure.*$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Protocol\ Discovery [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Existence\ Discovery [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\-WebDAV\-MiniRedir.*$
    RewriteRule .* - [R=501,L]
    This config, disables the login, which came everytime i opened the document in Internet Explorer.
    But when document is opened and i want to save the document, i get a windows login prompt.
    This is my access log, which shows office tries to access the webserver, but anonymously.

    And why is office talking to the server anonymously ?

    Hello,
    in addition to my question here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/eb068660-5ded-411e-bfc1-6f18ba7bc585/office-prompts-for-windows-login-when-im-trying-to-save-edited-document?forum=officeitproprevious
    Can someone tell my, how does the Microsoft Office Single Sign on work ?
    From what i understand, ms office opens the document (when through IE) and tries to create a webdav connection.
    I have tried to disable the webdav on apache.
    But the entire webserver is mod_auth_kerb "protected".
    And in the access-log, i can see this:
    IP, DATETIME, [email protected] document....
    But also: IP, DATETIME - document <--- None authenticated user... Why does microsoft not use the current user?
    I have tried to ssl enable the website, which i read in this thread: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2123563
    But Microsoft Office stills act as anonymous user.

  • When trying to save a document , it says syntax error-what does that mean and how do I fix it?

    when trying to save a document that I typed, it says syntax error..what does that mean and how do I fix it so I can save my documents?

    Applescript is like HTML, Actionscript, or Javascript.
    SYNTAX is EVERYTHING.
    Unlike HTML, Dreamweaver will pop a syntax error when trying to save a javascript that is unworkable because of a Syntax Error. Flash will do the same with a bad Actionscript.
    AppleScript Editor is the same way as Dreamweaver or Flash.
    The reason is:
    Bad HTML - a browser simply won't load the page or it'll load it with missing or no content. Not all that bad.
    Bad Javascript - your browser can lock up and if the script is complex enough, it can lock up your entire system.
    Bad Actionscript - just like bad javascript, it can potentially lock your entire system.
    Bad Applescript - can lock up your entire system.
    With Windows, viruses are often improperly read as SYNTAX errors in Actionscript or Javascript. That's not a worry with an AppleScript, but the possibility of locking up your system is worth a warning.
    You need to double check your syntax to be sure you haven't got something missing or improperly written.

  • Hi! Trying to save my document as a pdf, get the message that "this pdf is already open somewhere and cannot be saved". Whats wrong??

    Hi! When trying to save my document as a pdf, I get the message that "this pdf is already open somewhere and cannot be saved". I have not yet succeeded in saving it, and I've closed all preview windows of it, so it simply can't be open anywhere. Whats wrong??

    Correction on Question:
    This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
    Users began getting the error message:
    'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
    last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject. 
    We really need help getting this resolved.
