Q: The document is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage.

"The document ___ is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage." It won't allow me to unlock an iWork Pages (v.4) doc. Help! I tried the manual (hovering over the title and clicking the triangle to change to unlock, but it won't do it).

    Same thing here. The document is directly connected though (extern. HD). But the HD is FAT32. Anyway, I don't need previous versions of my files to keep being automatically saved, I save them myself.. (here comes apple again treating us like idiots and stuffing our HDs with unnecessary files, like iphoto and itunes do..) In this case, should I only check the "don't show this message again"? Is there any risk of my files not getting properly stored in my ext. HD (which I use as the MAIN HD) because of this?? Thank you very much, I'm scared right now!!

    The reason should be very simple. You are trying to save or change a file that is stored on a "MS-DOS (FAT32)" formatted drive.

    I realise this is an old thread, but I just saw this error.

     

    I believe it occurred because I had first dragged some selected text from Safari to my desktop, then opened it using Text Edit & then dragged the text clipping onto a new blank Text Edit window.

     

    Then I deleted the original Text Clipping file & then had tried to quit Text Edit & the "Doc is on a volume that doesn't support permanent etc etc" message appeared!

     

    I was able to still save a version though ..
