UIBuilder is a buggy program....and ALL KINDS of weird things happen in it. Let me touch on some of your issues here:

when i copyied labels when makeing new ones i forgot to change the "LocalText" properties of the new ones and they are all named the same thing!

When working with labels, you don't have to worry about LocalText. When you change the TEXT property, it automatically updates the LocalText property to say the same thing.

it asks me if i want to save before closeing yes/no/cancel (even tho i JUST saved) i say yes and it doesnt close just sits there not doing anything. So i try again File/Exit. Same question yes/no/cancel i click yes again and same thing... i could do that for hours. On the next File/EXit i select no and finally the UIbuilder closes.

This is one of the quirks with UIBuilder. When it asks you if you want to save your workspace, it seems to be an optional question. I myself, have not seen any difference in saving the workspace or not, so instead of sitting there going through the cycle as you have, I just hit the No button.

but then when i go back to edit it again it wont save any changes and it wont even change the name of the file im saveing...

UIBuilder knows basically all the SoE xml files. Creating new files with different names is tricky in itself, and sometimes has to be done manually outside the UIBuilder when the page is made, saved, and sitting in the UI folder.
Overall, I think you've come across a good (though tear-your-hair-out frustrating like we all have gone through, still go through, and will forever as long as UIBuilder is in Beta) learning experience. Be patient with the program (it's only as smart as the SoE devs who made it want it to be), and don't be afraid to tear stuff up learning it. You have lots of support here on the forums if you have questions.
