Nov 19, 2012: How to change from iCloud as default save location
After I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I noticed that the save dialogue in Pages and TextEdit defaulted to iCloud every single time. I don’t use iCloud so this behavior was driving me completely insane. (It doesn’t take much to drive me completely insane, I guess.) Anyway, this morning I finally snapped and googled for a solution and there is one and it is easy and it works!
Here’s the link:

In case the link breaks and you’re going to commit suicide if Mountain Lion wants to save to iCloud ONE MORE TIME, here are the instructions:
Launch Terminal and type or paste the following command in (My blog is showing it on two lines. You might want to paste it into a text document first and get rid of the carriage return if there is one):
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false
Quit whatever app is pissing you off, run it again, and try saving something. Voila.
You’re welcome.

My daughters and I have been listening to your reading of A Little Princess from librivox. It’s such fun! You read so well. I’m glad to have come across your website too :-)
