I have RW 7.0.4 and have upgraded my Mac to Sierra. I’ve ground to a halt. I can’t do a save or save as for a project. Just get a spinning wheel. I’m now up the creek and can’t work on any projects I have in flight. ---

My suggestion would be to upgrade to the latest version which is 7.0.4 ---

Sorry, I meant I’m on 7.0.4. I’ve edited my post to reflect that. ---

I installed beta 7.1 and still can’t save or save as. Unfortunately, I’m at a standstill and will miss deadlines. Has anyone else installed Sierra and is experiencing this or have been able to resolve it? ---

Hi Everyone, I am in the middle of creating a site for the town that i live in running to 32 pages at the moment. I’m running the latest version of RW 7.0.4 All was working great as usual before i downloaded the latest version of Mac oS 10.12 Sierra, after this i was unable to export my site locally or onto my test server, it would hang on a particular page (always the same page) and there was nothing i could do, i could not close RW at all, i had to force the app to close this happened on several occasions as i tried to find a solution. I opened another site and again i was unable to export locally, it would hang on a particular page and there was nothing i could do except to force it to quit, again this was a site created before oS Sierra I created a new project and this seemed ok and exported as normal. What i have just done is go back on my time machine to before the Sierra download and i restored the community website and replaced the existing version i was having problems with, and all is well and good. I am not sure if this will help you in any way @iankh , i hope so, but thought i would share my experience. All the best Mike ---

I have resolved my issue of being able to save. I tried a few things and am not sure which finally resolved it. - Deleted preferences - Restarted - Restarted again Not sure which did it. I would suggest restarting several times before taking the step of deleting preferences. ---

Hi Ian, That’s good to read. I’ve had the problem that i wrote about in the above thread crop up since i posted, and it seems that after having to force quit the app, i restart as you’ve described and this seems to be sorting the problem out, in that i am able to export locally and too my server too. What the root problem is though i’m not sure, i guess i’ll just hang in there until 7.1 get’s released. By the way how did you go about deleting preferences?? All the best Mike ---
