I don't use the mountain lion computer for much besides facebook, but when i do the 'save as' function seems to be gone.
is there a way to restore this basic computer function?
why would it be gone?

Save as has been brought back. It stinks, but it's back. You have to hit the option button.
Hmmm! On my machine, running 10.9.1, Save As is SHIFT+CMD+S. No OPTION key involved.
@ Csound1 I understand that this topic, this discussion concerns "Save As," but it seemed that bringing up the also missing "Save All" option might be appropriate. And, yes, this infraction on my part has been brought to my attention by another forum member, as well, and I apologize for crossing the line.
Great. Thanks. I did not know that.

just curious: Where has 'Save All' disappeared from? (I still do see it in Dreamweaver, which is the only place I ever noticed or used it.)
Where has 'Save All' disappeared from?
Basically, from any app Apple writes (Final Cut Pro X, iLife, iWork, the included OS X apps).
Adobe (thank goodness!) ignored Apple's autosave/versions feature of Lion and later. Theirs, and any app has to be written to use autosave/versions. Otherwise, the apps behave as they always have.
Hi baltwo,
I'm curious. Did you apply the keyboard shortcut change in the System Preferences in Lion or Mountain Lion? If you did, it will carry over to Mavericks in the same user account if you installed 10.9.x over Lion or ML. I did check to see if Apple change the default menus back to pre-Lion listings, but it's not. If I remove my shortcut redirect, it goes back to the Lion and later type listing (without the Option key held down):
I installed on top of my Snow Leopard boot volume (clone), so I guess it did carry over. Haven't been in Mtn Lion lately. Later today, I'll check when in Mavericks.

That's odd. Command+Shift+S of course is the default for Save As in Snow Leopard and earlier. Installing Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks over SL will always cause Save As to be bumped from the menus by Duplicate as Command+Shift+S. Assuming the user hasn't added the keyboard shortcut change in the System Preferences.
This is what pops up in Mavericks.
Sorry, I'm a newbie to giving advice here and jumped in too soon before seeing your post saying the same thing only more simply than I did!
This is a wonderfully useful post. Thank you.
what happened to "save as"?
