I cannot Save As on iMac27-2018-Monterey
Save As dialogue does not show up
Cmd+S with old files works fine, but not when saving new files
So must be a Finder issue
This issue only shows up when using Admin User.
Guest User can save new files though..
Have tried most things like Safe Mode, delete finder.plist, reinstall OS, restore backup from date when all worked fine..
Anyone with similar problem/solution?
iMac 27″, macOS 11.6
Start with this...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
If still a problem...
We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...

Thanks for your answer!
I had to get my iMac going quickly so I upgraded to Ventura and problem is now solved…
As I work mostly in Logic I always wait upgrading MacOS and Logic at least a year after the releases as things runs more flawlessly
Save As… dialogs are triggered by pressing the option key while exploring the File menu where duplicate changes to Save As…
Thanks for your reply, but I dont think you understood my problem.
When I click the ”Save as” in file menu, nothing happens and Finder stops working and needs a restart
Good work, thanks for the report my friend, do take care! :)
