Saving a file in Mac OS X Lion works pretty much the same way in any application you use to create documents. This example uses TextEdit, but the process would be very similar in Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, Apple Keynote, or almost any other Mac OS X application.
If you’re going to follow along, please launch the TextEdit program now (it’s in your Applications folder), and type a few words on the Untitled page that appears after you launch it.
When you choose to save a file for the first time (by choosing File→Save or pressing Command+S), a Save sheet appears in front of the document that you’re saving:
- In the Save As field, type a name for your file.When a Save sheet appears for the first time, the Save As field is active and displays the name of the document. The document name (usually, Untitled) is selected; when you begin typing, the name disappears and is replaced by the name you type.
- If the Where pop-up menu lists the location where you want to save your file, choose that location, and proceed to Step 5; if not, click the disclosure button (the one with the little triangle to the right of the word Untitled).In a basic Save sheet, the Where pop-up menu acts as a shortcut to the Documents, Desktop, Applications, Home, iDisk, and Computer folders.If you switch to expanded view by clicking the disclosure button, the Where pop-up menu shows the path to the folder the file will be saved into.
- To begin navigating the expanded Save sheet to find the folder where you want to save your file, choose among views by clicking the Icon, List, Column, or Cover Flow view button.If you can’t find the folder in which you want to save your document, type the folder’s name in the Search box. It works just like the Search box in a Finder window.
- Select the folder where you want to save your file in the Where pop-up menu.
- If you want to create a new subfolder of the selected folder to save your file in, click the New Folder button, give the new folder a name, and then save your file in it.The selected folder is where your file will be saved.The keyboard shortcut for New Folder is Shift+Command+N regardless of whether you’re in a Save sheet or the Finder.
- In the File Format pop-up menu, make sure the format selected is the one you want.
- If you want to turn off the display of file extensions (such as .rtf, .pdf, and .txt) in Save sheets, select the Hide Extension check box.
- Double-check the Where pop-up menu one last time to make sure that the correct folder is selected; then click the Save button to save the file to the active folder.
I am new to the Mac world and I have started with Tiger. When I use the textedit program to type HTML code and save it as an HTML document all I see is the code when I open the file in any of the browsers that I use.

- Question: Q: How to save SMS and iMessages from iOS to a PC or MAC For legal reasons, we need to periodically save text messages (both SMS and iMessages). I am looking for a FREE solution preferably, but if there is a known good APP, we will consider it.
- The problem happened a few hours ago, after I had been working on the file. The file is about 13 pages. Had just saved the file and crossed out the word. Should send the file over email, but when I pressed 'insert file' in hotmail, I did not file. Can not find it any place, either with spotlight or finder. Does not look like it is on my mac at all.
- Note: This document is primarily concerned with older systems and text files, and does not factor in Unicode or word processed files. Traditionally, Unix and Mac OS differ in the format in which they store text files. Mac OS places a carriage return character at the end of each line of a text file, but Unix uses a line feed character. Some Unix applications won't recognize the carriage returns.
Text messages are taking over, they're replacing phone calls and e-mail. The texts on your iPhone are now one of your most important forms of communcation with your friends, family, loved ones and coworkers. Maybe a friend sent you a funny joke that you want to save or maybe you need to make a backup of a text for legal purposes. Whatever the reason, iExplorer lets you access and save your iPhone's messages on your Mac or PC. The following tutorial walks you through how to use iExplorer to export your iPhone text messages and message attachements (Images, Contacts, etc) to your computer as a .PDF, .TXT, or .CSV document.
What you will need
- An iPhone, iPad, or iPod
- USB cable to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
- A Mac or PC with iTunes installed
Before you begin
If you don't already have iExplorer installed download it by clicking the button below. For more detailed installation instructions, click here.
Overview Steps
Follow these steps to transfer text messages from an iPhone or iPad to your computer:
Word Mac Save As
- Connect your iPhone or iPad & open iExplorer.
- Click on the Data tab in the Device Overview screen and click on the Messages button.
- If you haven't created an iTunes backup yet on this computer, you will be asked whether to make one (choose Yes). If you do already have an iTunes backup, and it's more than 24 hours old, iExplorer will ask whether you'd like to Use Last Backup or Refresh to create a new one.

In-Depth Tutorial
iExplorer can load, read and export text messages that are either on your iPhone or ones that have been saved in an iTunes Backup already on your computer. This tutorial walks through both possibilities.
To access text messages on an iPhone, open iExplorer and connect your iPhone to your computer. You should see the Device Overview screen appear. From this screen navigate to Data --> Messages or from the left column, under your device's name, navigate to Backups --> Messages.
Access Text Messages from an iTunes Backup of an iPhone
When you create a backup of your iPhone using iTunes, your text messages are saved to your computer, but they get buried deep within various semi-encrypted databases. iExplorer can do the heavy lifting for you and make these messages readily available and prettily formatted so you can read and export them on your computer.
To access texts from an iPhone Backup, first open iExplorer, then click Explore Backups. From the left column, under the Browse iTunes Backups section, select the backup you want to use. Then within that backup select, Messages.
Viewing, Searching and Exporting iPhone SMSs and Text Messages
After clicking on Messages for either an iPhone backup or a currently connected iPhone device, iExplorer will load your text message database. On the left column, you'll see your conversation list. You can sort the list by name, date or number of messages.
After selecting a conversation, you can choose from several export options such as .PDF, .TXT, or .CSV format including a choice to export all of your conversations in a single transfer.
You can also filter & export images, videos, vCards, and other attachments from text message conversations. View how much space attachments are taking up per conversation.
Easily filter text messages by date range using a simple calendar popup.
