What finally worked was shutting down, unplugging all peripherals and restarting. I'll begin plugging them in one at a time and restarting after each.
It's a 500GB HD, had 120 GB free but it started disappearing, got down to 79%. I'll keep a careful eye on it and log everything I do. Thanks to all for the advice.

The problem is likely to get worse over the long run, instead of better.

I agree. Calibre converts to epub smoothly in Snow Leopard. But Gutenberg slips in alot of their own text junk, if anyone knows how to delete this text from the newly created epub book, I would like to hear how to delete it, not that I don't appreciate Gutenburg's work.

Lion and "save as"

How do you people who are using Lion deal with the lack of the "save as" command?
I use that so much that I can't even begin to think about how I would live without having it available.
It's keeping me from buying a new Mac.
Thanks for any info, work-arounds or whatever!

Does that set of commands enable the user to re-name a document?

Nothing says "we care about our users' experience" like fixing something that ain't broke, and adding steps to the process...

Article: Learning to work with Auto Save
http://www.macworld.com/article/ 1163057/
learning_to_work_with_ auto_save. html
To restore the Save As feature (accessed as a Service), download:
Save_As.workflow.zip (free)
https://public.me.com/pldelise
unzip it and then place it in the Services folder in your home
Library. If the folder doesn't already exist you can create it.

"Save as" is gone, get over it. (Actually I think it was just a name change.)
Command + D will duplicate, if you want to start from there and make changes. Otherwise look into versions. Copy or Duplicate, they both do the same thing.
If you want to change format from say Pages to Word, use Export. (I think it used to be called Save as.)
Geez, what was so great about "Save as" that everyone is going crazy because they can not find it and just copy the item and change the name? That is all that Save as was.

Right from the 'get-go', most Mac periodicals recommended using 'export' to replace save as. I've had no problem doing this so far.

Yes, I believe it came in with Lion. And one of the articles someone recommended last time this came up showed me an advantage: with Duplicate, you get to see both the original and the new copy on the screen at the same time before you commit to saving the new copy.

I think the main beef us having to go back to the file you just copied to name the thing. I mostly just use export. Wish it worked in Text edit tho.

I wonder what Apple thought was wrong with "Save As". It seems like such a user-friendly, logical, reasonable, and desirable capability.

You don't understand Apple.
It is not what is wrong, but how can we do it better. And sometimes that creates a learning curve or change for hardwired habits of the users.
To borrow from the now defunct Oldsmobile, "This isn't your father's OS. Think Different."

Not sure how or when it happened, however I now have a Yahoo! weather-app button on my Safari browser� toolbar. That� okay now that I�e relocated to Hungary. I use it a bit.
Things are fine with it for the most part. I set it so that a button click opens to my part (Csepel) of Budapest. What is annoying is that the page constantly opens in Fahrenheit, which I have not dealt with for about four decades.
Even though I am conversant with the American standard, how do I get Yahoo! to open in Centigrade? Currently it says 66�F, which converts (per a button click) to 19�C.
I want it to open this way every time. Thanx. Oneal

This sounds a lot like a Safari extension. I have no idea where you got it from as I could not find it under Safari extension list nor Yahoo. However, if it is an extensions you should be able to find it in the Safari preferences under the extension icon.
