Mac Kindergarten

Did I save the last 30 minutes work now? Can something happen to me and my files? How can I tell, if the file that’s currently open, has been saved already?

Mac OS X indicates, if an open file has changed since the last time you saved it. Look at the red bubble in the title bar (that is used for closing a window).

A black dot inside the bubble indicates that changes have been made to this file, which haven not yet been saved.

Save it and the black dot will disappear.
