Why can I no longer "save as" in preview?

I used to be able to open a file, make a few changes and then "save as" to keep this new version without losing the old. It was so easy. Now, with Mavericks, there is no longer a "save as" option in the "File" menu. You have to create a duplicate, or some such. WHY?
Also, where did the slider go that allowed you to adjust the size of folders and images within a folder? now you have to take several steps, and then "set as default" or have to repeat the multi-step task each and every time. What a royal pain. If the size is set large enough for me to see what a photo actually is, then the folders themselves are enormous.
Why was the slider done away with? Can I get it back, somehow?
Also... I used to be able to simply click "textedit" and a little box would pop up. Now, it's a whole procedure, choosing between this and that. Ugh. What a bother.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

There is one major difference between Save As… and Export.
Save As… allows you to create a new file, with a new name and keeps that new file open while closing the original.
Export creates a new file, with a new name (and possibly a new format), but it doesn't open the new file; it keeps the original one open, so that if you continue to make changes, it is the old file that changes, not the new one.

  • Why can I no longer "save photos" from e-mail/Facebook??

    Since up-grading from iOS 5. To iOS 6.01, I can no longer "save photos" from e-mail/Facebook!  Any one know what I need to do??

    Go to Settings>Privacy>Facebook and see if saving photos has been allowed.
    Go to Settings>Privacy>Photos and see if FaceBook is turned on - if necessary.
    And go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos and check there as well.

  • Why can I no longer Save As a Word document?

    I work in Pages, but whenever I need to send a document to someone I convert it to Word since most people seem to use MS Word. It's never been a problem, until today. I go to Save As... under the File menu and try to save a document titled "XYZ" as a Word document. But it is giving me this error: "The document “XYZ” could not be exported as “XYZ.doc." That's it. No explanantion, no reason why it can't do something it's always done. I also tried the export route. But, while I don't get an error, the supposedly exported Word document never appears where it should. Did some recent update cause this snafu? Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Whit

    Here are my two cents.
    The resources defining the file formats which Pages may import or export are stored in the file :
    Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Info.plist
    Assuming that you didn't installed the Developer tools, go to my iDisk (address below)
    Download :
    Pref Setter.app.zip
    Unpack the archive.
    Open the file "Info.plist" with Pref Setter.
    Open the entry entitled :  CFBundleDocumentsTypes
    Open the items 9, 10, 11, 12
    The normal contents is :
    Double check the parameters available for items 9 & 10.
    What you get may be linked to some oddity in these resources.

  • Why can I no longer save tiff and jpg files?

    Don't know if I inadvertantly changed some setting but all of a sudden every time that I try to save a tiff or jpg file photoshop saves it as just a "file."  I've been using CS5 for about a year now and have never had this problem. Any suggestions?

    If you click on Save As and select an option what does it do?
    My suggestion if this does not work properly is to reset the preferences.  Hold down the Crtl + Alt + Shift keys and start Photoshop.  You should get a reset window.  It is a little tricky so keep trying until you get it.

  • Why can I no longer open or save documents in word?

    Why can I no longer open or save files using office for mac?

    Go to the Apple Menu (top left) click the Apple Menu and select "About This Mac"
    That will result in this window:
    The version number is right underneath Mac OSX.
    Then I will need to know which version of Office (Word) which you will see on the splash screen when you start it.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

    Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

    This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700  pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

    Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

    Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

  • Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11?

    Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11? This means I can't select transitions, titles, or even move clips within the project. Never had this problem before.

    Serious bugs in iM 11 with numerous lock-ups and crashes.  I shouldn't have upgraded -- now I'm pulling out my hair trying to complete a video project with it.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

    Not a lot of information. Can you post a link to a sample of the form so others can see the how the form does not work.
