The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.10/15/12

Is there anything like the old scrapbook that works with OS 10.8? I have some ‘stuff’ that I use in a number of emails or net ads that I would love to be able to access as quickly as I could back in Scrapbook and desk accessory days?

I noticed in Mountain Lion when you use applications like Quicktime or Preview, anytime you open a new document it automatiCally opens the last document you were using.
This is kind of annoying and i can’t seem to find a way to turn that option off.

The bug in Parental Controls (rendering it currently unusable) is a dealbreaker for my family – I must be able to use Parental Controls in order to allow a computer in the house. Thus, until a fix comes out in 10.8.3, I need to revert back to 10.8.1. How do I do this?
