When will Microsoft make an update for "Auto Save" and "Versions"?

Do you actually know something more about this missing function in office 2011?

There are a lot of people, myself included, that are hoping the answer to that question is "never". Hopefully, if they do, it will be something one can disable or tailor in preferences.
However, Office already has some of the basic elements of Versions and AutoSave right now. You can set documents to automatically save at any minute interval you want. And if you enable "Track Changes" within an Office document, you can essentially keep versions as you make changes. While "Track Changes" and Office's method of AutoSave is not identical to Apple's lion implementation, I like it better...mainly because you can enable the facets of the features at many levels, while with Lion's, you can't. Yeah, I know that there are workarounds, but they are time consuming to undo changes that you don't want, or accidentally make.
Imagine Lion's Autosave you can't turn off, on something like Photoshop. You open a file, apply a filter or two, and then decide you don't like the changes. Oops, Photoshop has saved the file.... then you have to go through the rigamarole of Versions to restore your original document.

When will there be an update for RAW files from the new Olympus OM-D E-M10 for Lightroom 4?

Hello there,
when will there be an update for Lightroom 4 which provides the option to import RAW-files from the Olympus OM-D E-M10 directly into LR4?

Lightroom 5.0 came out in June 2013 with a public beta for LR5 available at Adobe Labs back in April 2013. It seems you may have been unlucky purchasing the old version just before the new version came out, or perhaps LR5 required a minimum OS level your computer didn’t have.
Purchasing a new version every year isn’t necessary, but you do have to buy a new version whenever you buy an unsupported camera.
Adobe employees need to get paid just like the rest of us, and their releasing a new payfor version every so often is how they get paid.
Never mind that the new version has improvements beyond new camera support, so there was a full development-release-training-marketing effort behind it.
The upgrade price is cheaper than the full purchase price and if you want Photoshop capabilities, there is a LR+PS Photographer’s Bundle that is half the price of purchasing Photoshop, itself:

When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS. Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

Do Auto Save and Version work for Office for Mac-documents?

Do Auto Save and Version work for "Office for Mac 2011"-documents?

No, just certain Apple apps right now. Preview, iWorks, textedit come to mind. Anything else?

Auto Save and Versions

Where can I control Auto Save and Versions? I can't find it in System Settings.
Can I control it by terminal commands?
On http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is/ Apple claims:
Versions creates a new version of a document each time you open it and every hour while you’re working.
While here http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html Apple claims:
Forget about manual saving and forge ahead with confidence. Auto Save in OS X Lion automatically saves your work, while you work, during pauses and every five minutes. And Lion saves changes in the background so you're never interrupted with progress bars.
So I wonder every five minutes or every hour? Would be nice to make sure on each Mac itself whether it auto-saves every five minutes or every hour and to actually allow its user o set the frequency.

It does both. It saves your work in the current version every 5 minutes. Every hour, it creates a new version of the document.
I haven't searched for any version settings, yet.

Auto Save and Versions not working

Auto Save and Versions are not working in pages or numbers. I've worked on a project for over five minutes when I "Xed" out the drop down box opened up and asked if I wanted to save. Any ideas why? Also, how do you open up versions?

There is the problem with that sentiment. I don't like the loss of "save as" either. I think the new save/duplicate paradigm has more steps and is poorly implemented to boot. Yet, people complain far more about Versions and Autosave than they do about "save as"? Why on earth would anyone complain about Autosave? There is no user interface change involved with Autosave. It is entirely in the background. If you don't like Autosave, you are free to randomly delete files from your machine and from Time Machine if you want. I don't see what the point of that would be, but it would give you the same effect of not having Autosave. There is more a user impact to Versions, but it still a really cool feature. Why would you not want to have access to old versions of your document? It isn't going to eat much disk space. The last time someone complained about disk space usage by versions I calculated that it would take 38 years for them to run out of space due to Versions. If you don't want to use Versions, don't click on the Versions tools. Problem solved.
I don't want people lumping clear losers (like no more "save as") with clear winners like Autosave and Versions.

I'm not seeing the Auto Save and Versions features

I have a document open in Pages '09 and I'm running Lion, but I am not seeing the auto save or versions features that you supposedly get my clicking on the document name. Can someone help? Do I have to turn this feature on in preferences?

I'm actually working on a Word document that Pages has converted and opened, but the document does have a title bar name. So..I have to do a manual save before auto save will start working?!?
You don't have to do a manual save. Pages will auto save the converted Word document. If you quit Pages after editing the converted document without saving, Pages will reopen the converted Word document, give it a temporary window title of "Untitiled" and have saved your edits.
I did think I see a preference setting for auto save that wasn't checked in my preferences.
I don't think Pages every had auto save. Word does though, and this may be what you're remembering.
Also, how does all this auto save and versions stuff work…
Have a read of Apple's support document titled OS X Lion: About Auto Save and Versions. This explains both and how the two features are related but different.
NB While Pages auto saves new, untitled documents it doesn't create a Version of these documents.

Does auto-save and version work with old apps like pages '09?

Hello,
I'm new Lion user. I tried auto-save and version with textedit and it works.
But i'm not sure it works with pages '09.

It does work if you install the update from yesterday.

How do I activate auto save and versions?

How do I activate auto save & versions?

Mountain Lion. Since ML, Auto Save and Version does not work with new user accounts I am creating. The accounts I moved from Lion MBA to Mountain Lion on my RMBP 15 have it enabled.
So: ML still has the feature, but you may not access it by Preferences. It does - only on new accounts - even not work with TextEdit. With the Accout I moved from Lion to Mountain Lion no such problems.

When will there be an update for OpenCL support on the HD4000?

Quite frustrating that even the the hardware supports OpenCL, it is not supported by the OS. When can we expect an update to fix this?

It's really strange that the HD4000 still lacks OpenCL on the Mac, because Apple is putting this GPU into more and more models. The new 13inch retina MBP uses the HD4000 GPU _only_
Given the "Pro" in the MBP name, I'd expect its GPU to support OpenCL.
They also moved the Mac Mini to HD4000-only, leaving this model without an OpenCL-compatible GPU.
It's really, really strange. Isn't Apple interested in OpenCL anymore?

Using auto save and versions

Hello all. I am new to the Apple iMac. Love it! Just downloaded Lion and am curious about Versions and Autosave but cannot seem to find any info in the Help menu. Will Versions work on Office for Mac software (ie, Office for Mac Excel and Word)?

Open Pages, Preview or TextEdit as the previous poster said, then:
i. hover your cursor round the title bar to make the arrow/upside down triangle visible
ii. click that arrow to see the menu.
Of course, you'll need to have some versions of a file in order for Versions to do anything!

When will I get Belle update for 059C9F6: N8-00 RM...

Hi,
I have a Nokia N8 059C9F6: N8-00 RM-596.
This product code was not listed in the roll-ou sheet.
Please can anyone tell me when can I expect the Belle update?
I'm living in Coventry, UK.
Thanks!

why do Nokia employee's not know how to reply in a way that is concise and informative?
The original creator of this thread states the product code:059C9F6 and gives a country of origin, where as in your reply you state a code of 0599255 which is not the same (no matter how related internally it may be) and does not help answer anything!
Secondly you do not state if you are referring to the originators country of origin or to other posters on the thread??? How hard would it be to just sum up that for the UK, updates with be on the 8th Feb 2012????
Really, this just shows why as a company Nokia is falling so far behind, if you can't even answer questions successfully so people can glean at a glance the answer! Internal meetings must go on for hours at Nokia, which would explain why any release you ever promise is late!
**bleep**! It's infuriating!
