Cannot save project on Mac [SOLVED]

[Davee]

I haven't used PTE for about 18 months and have just opened it and tried to save a project, but it tells me it can't. I was using version 11.0.8 so I uninstalled and loaded version 11.0.14 but got the same message. I'm using an M1 Mac on Sonoma 14.6.1. Can anyone suggest what's wrong?

What is the exact message that comes up?

Where are you trying to save it to?
Is it a fixed drive on the computer or an external drive?

If you can give more info then someone should be able to help (I am not a Mac user)

Solved. It was down to folder permissions set on my iMac that changed since the last OS update, thanks.

Hi,

Glad you solved the problem.

Special folders on Mac require permission to read/save files: Documents, Downloads, Desktop.

Sometimes macOS revokes permission previously granted by the user. I think this happens after restoring macOS from Time Machine or when the app has not been used for a long time.
