Recently I switched from Linux to OSX and I see that I lost auto complete of file names in emacs. How do I make emacs complete file names and some commands. For instance, in Linux, it would remember M-x print-buffer but now I need to type print-buffer in full every time. I don't remember if I'd installed any plug in for this.
A variety of solutions, may be you were using smex before? Search for "emacs smex" to see what it does, or go here: http://emacs-fu.blogspot.ca/2009/05/finding-commands-with-smex.html

ido seems to be what I want emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2009/02/switching-buffers.html but doesn't seem to work with commands – Zeynel Dec 13 '13 at 2:11

@Zeynel smex builds on ido... So what you want to do is enable
ido-modeon start-up and install smex. If you want to enable suggestions everywhere, you also might want to look at ido-ubiquitous. – itsjeyd Dec 15 '13 at 14:41
TABcompletion? – Dror Dec 14 '13 at 15:57M-x {org-mode | recover-this-file | print-buffer .... }but in OS X, I have to enterM-x org-modein full, there are no suggestions. But in OS X file suggestions work as well in Linux. Do you know why? – Zeynel Dec 14 '13 at 19:03
