Why did they remove "Save As..." from Lion? Frustrating!!!

Tried to save my Numbers spreadsheet under a different name. No "Save As..."
So, had to look for an answer. Wasting time...
Found I have to use Duplicate.... what a waste of time! Why do they change stuff that has been standard for years! And it worked! Fixing stuff that wasn't broken!! And then you don't find out about it until you need it.

Duplicate is not really the same thing. At least I haven't found it is. Now I'm very new to Lion and haven't found all of it's New Features yet. But it's frustrating trying to figure out what they've done to Work Flow that has been established for years. For example
I have a spreadsheet that I want to save under a different name... not just the same name with Copy appended. But in Lion... now I'm forced to Duplicate... Here's the Flow now:
Duplicate
Close duplicated file
Go to Finder, find the Copy, change the name to the one I want.
Go back to Numbers.
File Open (thank goodness they kept that Control!)
Find the file I just changed the name of
Open
Now, is that efficient, or what?
Wasn't it MUCH simpler using "Save As..."!! One step, versus Six!!
What am I missing?

Why did they remove Weed Firm,

Why did they remove Weed Firm from the app store. Its not the app stores fault that the parents let their kids have an iphone and didnt controll what they download if you dont want your kid playing stuff like that dont buy them an iphone. Their is still a community of users who would like to play the game but cannot because it has been removed. If your child is so dumb that they have to imitate what ever they play dont get them age rated stuff. There is such things as parental locks. So why should a community of users suffer because of a few.

HT4356 Why did they remove the Kodak printers from there queue

We used to be able to print!!!

How on Earth would we know when it's totally unclear what you're talking about?
Why did who remove Kodak printers from what queue???

I took photos and they saved in my camera roll. they were there the next morning. I took more pictures and they are all gone. why did they not save and can i get them back ?

I took photos on my iPhone on yesterday and they all saved. I looked at my photos the next day and they were still there. I took more photos and now none of the last photos that I took in the last two days are there. Why did they not save? Can I get them back? My storage was not full. I just updated my iPhone to ios 7.1 a few days before.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Why did they remove the code validator in DWCS5??!!!

I just noticed that some had to create an extension to reinstall the page validator for CS5. Why on earth did they remove this feature???

Adobe is always reviewing Dreamweaver to identify underpowered or little used features which are no longer relevant, or better alternatives exist, in today's market.
Occasionally their research and conclusions seem to be off course with the majority of users. Radical action, such as dropping the feature, may taken too early.
They made a call by dropping the in-built DW validator in CS5 but, apparently, it's still wanted. I never use it personally but plenty still do apparently. It may yet find itself living on borrowed time though.
The antiquated Timelines feature in earlier versions was another example of a feature which was pulled prematurely (back in MM days) and quickly reinstated via a patch following a concerted user campaign. It was eventually dropped in later versions when the time was right.

Why did they remove the arrows and shuttle wheel?

It annoyed me to no end when years ago Adobe removed the shuttle wheel from After Effects, and now they did it with Premiere. What's the point of that? And even worse, now they also removed the arrow buttons on each side of the timeline. Are you freaking kidding me? With all the great improvements that Premiere CS6 has, and they removed an elemental tool for moving in the timeline? Try to move that stupid zoom slider when you are zoomed in to where the whole timeline is showing just about ten or fifteen seconds, and it makes the timeline fly at the speed of light in either direction. At best, you can use the mouse wheel to move a little bit, but that is slow as hell. It would be a good idea for Adobe's programmers to have this phrase as their first rule: "Don't fix it if it ain't broken"
Althought the zoom slider is a nice little addition, it's not a replacement for the arrow buttons. Sometimes, you need to move a couple of clips ahead or backwards, and the arrow buttons are the best way to do it. It would also be good for Adobe to copy the best of other NLEs, in this case from Vegas, which has the best way to navigate the timeline. Mouse wheel up or down, zooms in or out. Mouse wheel with shift pressed at the same time, scrolls the timeline at a speed that actually is useful. This zoom slider movement is so fast it's ridiculous and useless. If at least they included an option to set the speed for scrolling, it might be of some use, or at least if they also included an option to set the speed of scrolling with the mouse wheel, it would also be useful. But the way it is now it's useless and makes the editor waste a lot of time.

Mouse wheel up or down, zooms in or out. Mouse wheel with shift pressed at the same time, scrolls the timeline at a speed that actually is useful.
That should be reversed, where the wheel alone will scroll at a usable speed and the modifier plus wheel will zoom.
Of course, that's how it used to work. Adobe 'fixed' this, too.

Why did they remove iTunes radio?

I was wondering if they removed it temporarly or forever, since after the second day of using it it disappeared from my music app. This also happened to one of my friends it's still not back its been 1 week since this happened? I have done resets to see if it would be there again but it wasn't.

I know this is an old post and so the individual who posed the question may not read my answer. However, I too had this issue. What you do is you go to itunes click the Itunes tab on the top (where you have your apple logo if you're using a mac) and go into your settings, then check off Internet Radio and anything else you want displayed (ie songs, albums, genres, podcasts). Then hit save. Then exit your itunes and open it up again... next to songs, albums ,etc... you should see a tab or icon called Internet. That's your radio. I hope it helps

Why did they remove the second alert for Calendars ??

I saw that this software update has taken away the second alert that could be added to calendar entries ?
Why would they do that ?

I see what happened.
I added an exchange account.
It then changed my default calendar to the echange calendar, which does not accept 2 alerts.
Thx

Why did they remove the "today, this week, last week from finder side bar?

I searched the options and they were removed.

I don't know the "why" but I know how you can get them back. Go to Finder: File menu > New Smart Folder.
When the Finder window opens, click the '+' sign on the right hand side of the window.
Change the menu that says 'Kind' to 'Last Opened Date'. In the next menu along, change the 'is within last' to 'today' (or it might be 'last 24 hours', I forget). Hit Save.
Repeat the same procedure thing for 2 days, 1 week etc. (I'm not booted in to Lion at the moment, but in SL you could also actually enter the time period in an input box. You may also have this option.)

IPod Album Art Cache - Why did they remove the feature to Sync Album Art?

So it appears that Apple removed the ability to enable/disable album art in the iPod configuration in recent versions of iTunes so that one can't turn it off and sync then turn it on and re-sync to reset all the album art once it gets jumbled on the iPod Classic. It seems that this was a useful feature to have. This has recently happed to me for the first time, so now I'm having to re-sync my complete music library of over 80gig and it's going to take all night (and finger's crossed that iTunes doesn't crash - which is why my artwork got jumbled in the first place). Did the old method of resync'ing just the Album Art Cache just cause a re-sync of the entire music catalog anyways? What's the deal?

It's not available with Itunes 11. Want to let Apple know you are unhappy?
They don't read here. Send them feedback through the proper channel:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
The only way they will bring it back is if you send in enough complaints.

Why did apple remove the superdrive from the current mac mini model?

Also why does the standalone superdrive (USD $79) ONLY work with server version of the current Mac Mini? Does not make sense. Was just thinking of buying a mac mini when they changed the line about 2 months ago. I still use DVD's and CD's as I am sure a lot of people out there still do.
It has made me rethink the purchase of the current mac mini - since the standalone superdrive only works with the server version. I wanted to purchase the 2.3Ghz - 500 GB version - but if that does not work with the superdrive - then no good for me.
The Intel core 2 core duo was the one I wanted and it was perfect for me - but the day I went to purchase was the day the new version was announced - apple is not even offering refurbished one of this model (I have looked at that area of www.apple.com) and everywhere I look on ebay for this version - people are selling them for so much more. I wanted to buy this new from apple.
Getting rid of the drive was not the best idea just yet - CD's and DVD's are still so ubiquitious.
Anyone have any other suggestions on how to get my hands on a brand new Intel core 2 duo from apple?
I already have an Imac and a Macbook Pro already wanted to add to my apple collection.

Why did Apple remove flag icon from iPhoto '11?

I just updated to iPhoto '11 and there are a few interesting changes. One is that Apple removed the "flag" icon from the app. I wish they hadn't done that because I use that a lot and don't want to have to go to the dropdown menu to flag a photo. Does anyone know if you can put the flag icon back? I don't see anyway to customize the iPhoto tools. Thanks.

You are very welcome. I'm happy you saw my post, and thanks for posting back and crediting me with a This helped me. You deserve the real credit because your post gave me the drive to search for a better solution than the command-period shortcut even though the removal of the flag icon in iPhoto '11 has bugged me ever since I first starting using it. I found an article where the author told about the gray flag icon on the top left corner of photos in the thumbnail view, but also criticized that it isn't in the view you really use to review pics. The author then went into the command-period shortcut option. What the author didn't mention and I brought to the solution was maximizing the zoom when in the thumbnail view. I gave myself a pat on the back for that one! lol
Have a great weekend, PainterLady!

Why did they remove the "Just Added" section on the Music page??

It used to be, you could click on that, see all the new music that launched that day. Then, they updated it, and it wasn't in order anymore, but you could still see what launched, and now, that section has been removed. Why??? Has it moved somewhere else?

Has it moved somewhere else?
Yes, it has moved. The New Releases listing is now at Amazon MP3. Click here.

Why did they remove the "open iPod in new window" option in 7.5???

I used to be able to open my iPod Shuffle contents in a new window, which made it really easy to drop specific songs into the exact order I wanted. Now I can't open a second window and have to drag an entire playlist exactly where I want it and then move the unwanted songs or move a specific song ontop of the iPod icon and then have to go and pull it from the bottom and place where I want it on the Shuffle. I know this sounds petty and I can still get the songs/order on my Shuffle, but it's so much clunkier than it use to be. I hate when an upgrade "removes" functionality instead of enhancing it.

Well I can get another Window as follows:
Click on the little triangle to the left of the iPod symbol to open up the iPod's playlists.
Double click on Music and another window opens. I see you are using a Mac, but i guess it must be the same.

How do I set new tabs to BLANK? Why did you remove that choice from me?

FF 5.0
There use to be an option to set new tabs to blank.
How do I do that now that you removed the option.
I tried the obvious (?) of setting the new tab to "about:blank" and it still comes up with what ever search engine is paying you money.
I even tried an add on to set it to blank. That didn't work either.
Are we no longer allowed to have a clean, fast loading new page?

Firefox always Opens a New Tab in a Blank page. You must have some add-on installed that's making the new tab to not open as Blank.
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Exit'''
-> '''Start Firefox in Safe Mode''' (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Firefox Safe Mode window will open. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
Check if the New Tabs are now opening as Blank pages while you are in Firefox Safe Mode.
-> '''The problem does not occur in Safe Mode'''
