Hey dont know if there's a way to do this in mac but when you get any sort of pop up like this:

is there anyway to use the arrow keys to select a different option. (your forced to use the mouse if you want to select anything other than the default)

I know on a pc you can use the arrow keys, I figure you just can't on a mac but thought I'd throw it out there to see if there is any way.

Thanks
 
In System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, enable Full Keyboard Access for "All controls".

With that enabled, you can then "tab" to change focus between buttons, then "space" to click the button.
 
Press CTRL + F7 (+ fn if you're on a laptop). Then you can tab through the buttons and press the space bar to select the highlighted option.
