That's why, the message (draft) is not deleted from the MobileMe server and when it syncs back I see the draft I sent on my mac again. And I have to delete it manually. Sometimes I get 2 or even 3 drafts of the same message. The way out is to disable autosave draft function in Mail.app. Turn off auto save from system preferences. Now every time you make change in a TextEdit window, or other native app, it will ask you to save the change. The original functionality has been restored.
While reading/editing document in Microsoft Word/Excel, occasionally you may encounter sudden power failure, application crash, or computer crash so that the Word/Excel document is forced to close before you can save the data. In such a case, you can turn on the Autosave feature in Microsoft Word/Excel to automatically save documents being edited at a certain time interval to minimize/prevent data loss if the application is unexpectedly closed. Now, this post will describe how to turn on and set Autosave in Word/Excel 2016.
How to turn on and set Autosave in Microsoft Word/Excel 2016
Both in Word and in Excel, the steps are the same. Below I will use Microsoft Word 2016 as an example.
Step 1: Open your Word document with Microsoft Word 2016.
Step 2: Click the File tab on the menu bar, and then in the Backstage click Options.
Step 3: After the Word Options window opens, select the Save tab on the left-side pane, and then locate the ”Save documents” section on the right-side pane. Tick the ”Save AutoRecover information every” box and set how often it automatically saves the Word document, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or other value depending on your own desire. Moreover, tick the ”Keep the last autosaved version if I close without saving” box.
Step 4: Click the Advanced tab on the left-side pane, and then locate the Save section on the right-side pane. Make sure the ‘Allow background saves’ box ticked, and finally click OK to save the changes.
So you turn on and set Autosave in Word 2016, and the feature takes effect in all Word documents. If you need to turn on and set Autosave in Excel/PowerPoint 2016, similarly open the Excel/PowerPoint Options window to perform similar actions.
i don't understand the lack of understanding of the 'save-as' workflow. i open an original image file in preview. when i open it, i don't know exactly what i want to do with it, so i didn't make a copy beforehand. now i decide to make an edit to it and save that as a new file. where is my command? it's gone. export bloats the file size up to 4x. god knows what duplicate does, which version does it duplicate? what does it help to go back to the original version? i want a new file. if i wanted the original i'd just exit from preview and start over. but now there's god knows how much space i've just used because the system is saving versions and crap underneath me. where does it put this and how do i clean it up? no, either the folks who don't mind the removal of 'save-as' have a completely different workflow or computing philosophy than i do (and i do admit i cut my teeth in cp/m and dos where i had to manage my own files) or don't work on a 64gb ssd drive perhaps or have terrabyte raid arrays. what am i missing in my heated rant at apple for removing this command when i don't see why it can't co-exist with the new commands if they would give me the option of turning autosave or versioning off? it will be hard to convince me this wasn't as idiotic and harebrained a move as removing the indicator lights so i now can't tell when my mac is asleep. and yes, i ranted at apple for not having activity lights on their drives back long ago--there is no excuse in the world for not having those indicator, then or today.
