Hi, Soyaz,
It sounds like you are experiencing some issues saving documents on your mac. We can help with this.
This is an advanced option, but make sure that the drive partition that you are attempting to save the file to is NOT read only. This means that it is locked off, and you can only view files, not add, delete, or move files. You can sometimes enable this by accident.
If this is continuing to happen, try to record your screen while saving the document that you report cannot be saved. This sounds like a drive error, or a problem with part of the drive being locked out / the drive head in the physical hard disk drive not moving.
Sometimes, macOS versions can effect the behavior of the drive. In different versions, your drive is partitioned differently, so knowing your version of macOS would help.
Keep us posted.
Hi Soyaz,
It sounds like you are experiencing some issues saving documents on your Mac. We can help with this.
To start, make sure you're following the steps listed here to save the document: Save and name a document in Pages on Mac
If you continue to experience issues, let us know if this occurs when saving new documents or only when saving documents that were previously saved. If it only occurs with documents that were previously saved, were these documents originally created on your Mac?
Which version of macOS is running on your Mac currently? You can find the exact version by clicking the Apple logo in the top left corner and "About This Mac" from the menu.
Keep us posted.
Cannot save documents. "This document could not be saved"
