1. You Can't Save Them All.. Mac Os Sierra
2. You Can't Save Them All.. Mac Os 8

Remember the good old days before OS X Lion where Command-D closed the Save As dialog without saving your documents? Turns out the “Don’t Save” option is still there, but now you need to.

If you don’t see an Open Scanner button, you may need to set up your scanner, or check the documentation that came with your scanner to see how to perform scans. Deselect Use Document Feeder, if that option is present. Choose where to save the scanned items from the Scan To pop-up menu. If you choose a folder, the items are stored in that folder. If you own these older 32-bit apps, you may need to upgrade to newer Mac App Store versions where available, or you’ll need to wait for the developers to release 64-bit updates. Simply connect a secure data storage to your Mac and launch Time Machine by visiting Menu System Preferences Time Machine. Here, click on the 'Select Backup Disk' so that you can manually choose a location to save the backup content. As a pop-up screen would appear, just select the available drive and confirm your choice. In short, this experiment was a disaster, and you can't really save Mac Stickies anywhere other than the default database where Apple intends them to be stored. You can actually save a Mac sticky note to a file, but this is a one-way trip: After you save the sticky note to a file, the Mac Stickies application doesn't bother to read from it again.

Noelle Oliveira says her Mac isn’t letting her save files from several different programs. She consistently receives the error (with various filenames and folder locations):

“filename” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “folder”.

macOS says she needs to change permissions on Desktop, but I’d wager most Mac users haven’t had to wrangle with this. Permissions are a Unix-level property attached to files (including apps) and folder that control the rights a given user or system agent has to read, write, execute, or act in other ways upon a file or folder.

In the old days, we had to muck about with permissions all the time. Disk Utility even had a Repair Disk Permissions options to fix system settings that might have gotten out of whack. (It was removed in later releases of the app because it was no longer necessary.)

In fact, honest to goodness, I can’t recall the last time I had to modify permissions on files created through Mac apps or by macOS. (I sometimes use Terminal and have to mess with file permissions behind the scenes for command-line apps.)

If permissions are unfamiliar to you, it’s fortunately accessible—as Apple says in the dialog box—by selecting one then choosing File > Get Info. To modify multiple items, hold down Option and select File > Show Inspector. Because Apple provides no further instructions, this might leave many newer users at sea. (And, by the way, the Desktop folder referred is the one in the top level of your home directory. Select Go > Home in the Finder, and you’ll see it there.)

In the Sharing & Permissions area of either the Get Info or Multiple Item window, you should see your account in the Name column and (for regular documents) Read & Write under the Privilege column. For example, I show up as “glenn (Me)”, my Unix user name for my account, under Name.

If you don’t see yourself, follow these steps:

1. Click the lock icon in the lower-right corner and enter your password (or that of an administrative account, if your user account isn’t set with admin privileges).
2. Click the + sign at lower left.
3. Select yourself from the Users & Groups list and click Select.
4. In the Privilege column next to your name, choose Read & Write.
5. If it’s a folder and you want to make sure everything within the folder down to the lowest level also has the same access (typical for document), from the gear item, choose Apply to Enclosed Items and then confirm by clicking OK.

If you do see yourself, but Read & Write isn’t selected: Follow steps 1, 4, and 5 above.

Some readers have found this problem occurs even if the permissions are correct on the destination folder, however, and forum searches lead me to believe that can result from the wrong permissions on a hidden Autosave Information folder used by Apple’s apps for interim versions of documents you’re working on before you save them under a name in a different location, or between you explicitly choosing File > Save in apps that require that.

To fix the Autosave Information problem, follow these steps:

1. Open your user Library folder in the Finder by selecting Go > Go To Folder and entering ~/Library
2. Select the Autosave Information folder.
3. Choose File > Get Info.
4. Check the Sharing & Permissions section. If your name doesn’t appear or it appears without the correct permissions, follow the steps above, making sure to use step 5, as you want all enclosed items to also be fixed.

Option 2: Restore Mac from Time Machine backup

Time Machine is a good utility to back up Mac. A better situation is that you have backed up the Mac before it crashes. A Time Machine backup can help you recover data from Mac like iMac hard drive though it won't turn on.

However, as the Mac won't turn on, you should reinstall macOS to make it bootable first. The macOS installation process will take a long time. Hence, using iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac to rescue files is a quicker and more simple way.

1. Step 1: When the Mac turns on after macOS reinstallation, you can connect the Time Machine backup drive to your Mac.
2. Step 2: Open Migration Assistant. You can access it by the Utilities folder.
3. Step 3: When you're asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option: From a Mac, Time Machine backup or startup disc. Then you can click Continue.
4. Step 4: Select your Time Machine backup and then continue.
5. Step 5: Select the files and click Continue to restore your files to the Mac.

This way might take hours if you have lots of data. And you also might fail to recover lost data as the process is complicated.

But what if you haven't backup your files before? Well, then you can't restore files from Time Machine backups. But at least, you can recover the system from Time Machine auto-backups if your system is macOS High Sierra and above.

1. Step 1: Boot into macOS Recovery mode.

1. Step 2: Select Restore from Time Machine in macOS Utilities.
2. Step 3: Select an APFS snapshot in Time Machine backups and then continue.
3. Step 4: Restore your system to a previous point, which could result in data loss.

Option 3: Back up files by copying your Mac hard drive

Things will be more difficult if you don't have a data backup when Mac can't start up. Fortunately, you still can back up your files by creating a copy version.

There are many ways to do this. Namely, you can create a disk image from the startup disk. You can access and copy your files via Target Disk Mode. You can also copy files with Terminal command in macOS Recovery Mode.

Here takes disk image as an example.

1. Step 1: Restart your Mac and immediately hold Command + R options. This will boot your Mac into macOS Recovery Mode.
2. Step 2: Select Disk Utility in macOS Utilities.
3. Step 3: Connect an external hard drive to your Mac. The hard drive should be empty and have a large capacity.
4. Step 4: In Disk Utility, select the external hard drive. And then choose File at the top menu, click New Image, and then choose Image from [device name].
5. Step 5: Enter a file name for the disk image, add tags if necessary, then choose the external hard drive to save it.
6. Step 6: Choose an option from the format menu: read-only, compressed, read/write, or DVD/CD master.

However, if your Mac hard drive is damaged or corrupted, the image disk will be inaccessible and corrupted as well. At this time, only data recovery software like iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac can help you recover data from MacBook that won't turn on.

Option 4: Boot from an external hard drive and migrate files

When Mac can't boot up, you can also use these steps to back up your data to an external drive. This method asks for an empty external drive that has the same or larger size than your current startup disk.

1. Step 1: You need to boot into macOS Recovery Mode to erase this external drive in Disk Utility. And then install macOS onto the external drive in macOS Utilities.
2. Step 2: When the installation is finished, your Mac automatically restarts from the external bootable drive.
3. Step 3: In Setup Assistant, you can choose the built-in startup disk as the source to migrate your data from. This will make a backup to the external drive.
4. Step 4: When the migration is done, complete the steps of the setup assistant. After the desktop appears, confirm that your data is present on the external drive.

Then you can go ahead to reinstall macOS to the built-in startup drive. Later, you can restore files by Migrate Assistant application.

In some worse cases, your MacBook's startup disk won't show up in Disk Utility. Then you need to ask help from Apple support. But If you see the corrupted Mac hard drive in Disk Utility, you can try your luck with iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac.

If you are fortunate enough, you have got files off the Mac hard drive that won't boot. Then, you can continue fixing the Mac not booting up issue.
