Save As...

Problem:  You tried to save a copy of a document using the "Save As..." menu command, but Apple removed that option when they introduced Lion (Mac OS X 10.7+). The command is missing in Mountain Lion (10.8) and Mavericks (10.9), as well.

Solution: Apple quietly added back that option in Mountain Lion (and it carried over to Mavericks). If you hold down the Option key and click on the File menu, the "Save As..." menu item will appear.

Preventing Safari from Opening with Previously Opened Pages

Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) has a new feature that automatically loads web pages that were open when you last quit Safari. This can be useful in some situations, but it can also be very annoying at times.

To prevent Safari from starting up with the previously opened web pages, type the following in a window of the Terminal app...

defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

To turn the feature back on, type


defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState NO
