@Johnna There’s an issue similar to yours [here](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/rapidweaver-7-4-18651b-beta/13516/2?u=neiluk). What version are you using? if you’re using 7.4 beta, you should go back to 7.3.3. ---

There seems to have been a few issues with 7.1.5, as you can see [here](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/search?q=7.1.5). I would try updating, that should solve your issue. ---

It looks like you’re running RW from an external drive or something. See below for Applications Folder. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/6/60275621ce1fbc693cb0bd5b275d930cd9eb2cfb.png) ---

Make sure you back up all your RW projects before making any changes! ---

You need to move the main RapidWeaver app to the Applications folder, not your project/s. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/a/a5377f812cea7bd43c91cfa3908324571422e658.png) ---

I did a search on my computer for Rapid Weaver and nothing came up looking like the image you posted above. ---

Ok, this is what I would do. 1. Duplicate your existing project/s and keep them in a safe place. 2. Move the project/s you moved to the Applications back to their original folder. 3. Download RW 7.3.3 from [here](https://kb.realmacsoftware.com/article/87-rapidweaver-7-3-3). 4. Find the new downloaded version of RW (see image below) and move it to the Applications folder. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/7/7e1b7d0f34601c19b22317f7d5cd221aef8b4f9d.png) You should then be able to open your existing project/s with the new version. You will probably have to enter your publishing set up again. ---

When you download RapidWeaver, it should be in your downloads folder. Before clicking on it to open it, you need to drag the RapidWeaver 7.app icon into the Applications folder. You can’t move it to the Applications folder while it’s open, so quit RW, find the icon and drag into the Applications folder. The only way to get the project files out of the applications folder is to trash them. If you have copies of them, it would be ok to do that. ---

You’re welcome! I’m glad it worked.
