Using a Macbook Pro and Lion, suddenly unable to save Pages files. Tried verifying and repairing permissions, restarting program and laptop,
tested various kinds of files, all say permission denied. unable to save changes also. Useless unless I can save my work. Grateful for any suggestions.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.3), Pages worked fine for two years
Probably trying to save in a directory the app thinks you don't have permissions to write. Quickest way to salvage your work is sticking a USB Flash stick and saving there. Once you have repaired permissions and verified you can write to your home folder, you will have to quit Pages and log out for any changes to "take"

Thanks. I already verified and repaired permissions to no avail then discovered Pages was trying to save to Mac HD. When I changed destination of where to save file to desktop or documents, it allowed me to save a test file and then I succesfully saved my real file. Maybe the save to destination was accidentally changed by me recently leading to this issue.
MS Word does that to me all the time.... 😠
Pages save function not working/ "permission denied"
