Wow, I'll have to get Gary to help me with all the buttons; my hands are small
to begin with, even on my air! Whomever came up with that sequence really
wanted you to mean to take this action, :)

Hello Marlaina,
I don't know whether reinitialising the PRAM will solve your problem, but it
fixed some strange behaviour I was getting recently.
To do this, shut down your computer, then hold down the following keys:
Command, Option, letter P, and letter R. With all four keys held down, press
I'll try that Tim, though I hate to save things to desktop, but then I'll copy
it to its folder then delete from desktop.

Hi Marlaina,
I don't believe that it is arbitrary at all, most likely contrary. Just for
fun, try thi:
1. Open your document.
2. Press cmd-shift-s for Save As.
3. Type the filename you wish to save it as.
4. Press cmd-shift-d to tell it to be saved on the Desktop.
5. Press return.

Tim,
I tried this three times as a test. Twice it did not work, once it did. It
seems arbitrary, or is it just dang contrary!

Tim, I'll try all this and report back. It is so odd because it happens in
pages and text edit and only as of about 4 days ago. I still think my Air is
mad because I took it off that lovely cruise ship back to cold Seattle, LOL!

Hi Marlaina,
I've seen this sort of thing happen when there is something selected in the
File Table of the Save dialog. If it is a file, then it will not save and if
it is a folder, it simply opens the folder instead of saving. If you hit the
Save button a second time once the folder has open
Wow, this is getting more and more weird!
So I repaired permissions per Dan's wonderful instructions. I then opened a
file in text edit called shopping list.doc. I added a line to the file and did
command shift s and did all the steps I previously outlined, and still all I
heard was save as d
Dan, I am going to try this right now and my gosh, never apologize for too much
info; I am not a veteran user, but do know about interacting with tables.
However, not so long ago, I did not know and so I totally believe in detailed
info. I will try this as I sit here in Fort Lauderdale Airport
H, interesting. Can't say I've experienced this in either app. Maybe try
a permissions repair? Don't know for sure , but maybe something is screwed up
with permissions somehow? To do this do the following:
1. Go to the finder,
2. HIt command-shift-U to go to your utilities folder, whic
Quick Nav is not active. And, all this just started no more than 3 or 4 days
ago. It's going to create a big problem if I can't figure this out. My Air is
possessed, LOL!

Hello Marlaina,
Have you checked that Quick Nav isn't active? It can screw up all kinds of
commands.

Try just typing in the new file name and pressing Enter, if all the other
defaults are unchanged. Also maybe try VO shift space on the Save button,
though I use save as a lot and I haven't ever experienced this...

Ok, this is a weird one! I suddenly, as of about 3 days ago, can't do save-as
in either Text Edit or Pages and make my work save. In each app, I do these
steps and get the same results:
press command shift s for save as
