Where is the file menu on pages?

I am a first-time MacBook user and have used a PC for years. I am trying to use the Pages software on Mountain Lion - on my new Mac. I can't find the "File" menu in order to see how to "save," "save as," or especially how to save it as a .doc so that I can use my personal Mac at home to create documents for my work-PC world. I've looked at tutorials, googled to try to find, and am coming up empty! HELP! Please...

You will find things different to Windows but after you have a look around you will find a tremendous amount of consistent simplicity.
One reason that a Mac's screen feels so open and legible is the lack of the clutter and wasted screen of Windows.
There is absolutely no need for all the duplication of menus, ribbons, toolbars and oversize dialog boxes that eat up screen real estate on PCs.
Take the time to either do the Introduction to the Mac on these support pages or attend a familiarisation session at a local Apple Store.

Where is the action menu in Pages?

Where is the action menu in Pagess? The "accepting changes" help says its all in the "Action Menu" but nothing is labled as the "action menu" Where is it?

Simio,
I must confess, I didn't research the answer very well before my first response. It turns out that in the current version of the English edition of Pages User Guide, the phrase "Action Menu" appears 20 times. And to think I don't recall ever seeing it before.
My reading of the guide indicates that the "gear" icon with a disclosure triangle is an Action Menu. They are everywhere, in many contexts besides Tracking, and I always thought of them as the "gear" menu. Dale's graphic gets you close, but his capture isn't quite wide enough to catch the Action Menu icon. It's here:
And, it looks like this after clicking the disclosure triangle:

HT1848 Where is the "File Menu"?

Can anyone tell me where this "File Menu" that will lead me to the "transfer purchases" option is? I just installed itunes last night, and am wondering if these same instructions I am reading everywhere no longer apply to a newer version of iTunes. I am advised to click on an icon in itunes that I cannot find.

To show the Menu bar, in the upper left corner of iTunes select the "Show Menu Bar" on the flyout window

HT2513 Where is the file menu?

At the top of my screen there is not a file menu or a + sign. I can't see how to get to a file menu. Is the calendar that comes with the iPad the iCal or do I need to buy the app?

Try pressing Alt+F

Where is the "save as" in Pages '09?

What happened to the "Save as..." in the File menu of Pages '09? How do I make a different copy of an existing document?

This is an apologists view that your process really works.
First of all Save As had many uses besides changing the
name, location, format in one shortcut.
Save A Version is weak because it does not allow any of
these abilities. If you haven't edited a file in a while it will
toss you into Duplicate mode. It is clumsy and misguided
if you are used to the Save As dialog to it's fullest extent.
Sadly, Apple seems to have crippled some of the fixes for
this. One fix that was broken with an update is going into
SysPref>Keyboard>KBShortcut>AllApps and create a new
Shortcut.

When I click on the tab with a + on it, located next to the active tab a new page does not open. If I click on "New Tab" in the File menu a new tab does not ope

Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

I recently installed Lion on my iMac. Pages no longer has the "Save as" command in the File menu. Help!

I recently installed iOS 5 on my iMac. Pages no longer has the "Save as" command in the file menu. Can anyone help?

It's not you, it's Lion, Save As is gone.

I've downloaded pages 4.1 onto my new macmini (10.7.2) but the File menu does not include the save as function . Any suggestions?

I've just downloaded Pages 4.1 onto my new macmini (OS X 10.7.2 Lion) but the "Save as ..." function does not appear in the File menu (although "Save ..." does appear). I'm wasting lots of time saving copies and then changing the names via the desktop. Any suggestions? I've already checked updates and can't see any that look suitable.
Whoops! No sooner had I posted this as a question when a whole host of queries popped up asking the same Q. So now I know there is NO Save as in Pages 4.1, but a similar route using Duplicate. I'm off to experiment.
Plus ça change!!!

Where has the File Sharing page gone to in iTunes 11?

Where has the File Sharing page gone to in iTunes 11?

My iPad is a first generation so it on IOS 5 and I am running iTunes 11. Shows up for me as I said above. Maybe somebody else knows whay it doesn't work for you.
Probably try all the usual suspects Power on and Off for ipad 9 Not Standby, hold down Power button until a red slider appears. The when off keep it pressed for 2-3 secs and iPad will reboot.
Also switch of iTunes and Computer and the switch back on.
Never know it might help certainly wouldn't hurt

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and I now cannot find under the file menu the option to "Save As" in my Numbers application. Where did it go?

In many, many apps Apple has now created a confusing array of "save as..", "export", and "duplicate" all doing essentially the same thing - saving a new copy elsewhere possibly with format changes. Drives me nuts.
But its always there.

HT1420 Where is the store menu in iTunes. I just got a new computer. I disconnected the old computer and want to authorize the new one. There is no file menu or store menu anywhere I can see.

Where is the store menu in iTunes? I updated my computer and want to authorize it. I deauthorized the old computer (and probably my desktop at a different location, and want to authorize the new one. The help says that I need to clickon the store menu in iTunes. I do not see any store menu. I can access songs that I purchased a while back, but cannot download any new purchases. If I cannot get this worked out, how do I recoup my money for the new songs? Also, can I transfer the songs I purchased to another service? Brad

It's in the same spot on a Windows machine as well
