But why have an Apply button if it doesn't do anything? If the Apply
button doesn't do anything it should be removed.
But it does do something! *As a general rule* an Apply button causes
some setting to be activated without exiting the screen which shows the
Apply button. Maybe you wish to make further changes on that screen, so
this is helpful. *As a general rule* the Save button works in the same
way (causes a setting to be activated) but also causes that screen to
close.
However, as Mike Fry pointed out, in this particular case the Apply
buttons not only activate various settings but also give you the option
of having those settings applied retrospectively.
