P: "Save As" no longer appear with second monitors or Sidecar running after update to macOS Monterey

"Save As" no longer works after update to Mac Monterey OS

 

When I try to "Save As" I get no result. Normally a dialog box will pop up with format / file location options but it's no longer happening. I am trying to save a .psd file as a .psd file. 

 

I have tried going to File / Save As and also the cmd/shift/S keyboard shortcut

I am also seeing this behavior in InDesign, but the Save As command works in Illustrator.

 

Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1

Mac Mini 2018

 

Thanks!

Good lord, what a mess. Glad i saw your reply, because this sorta worked for me. Made my macbook my main monitor like you said and the SAVE AS dialogue came up, except it was all black, and i had to force quit PS to get out of it. Restarted my mac and PS and the SAVE AS worked FINALLY! However, when i changed it back to having my external monitor as my main, it dissapeared again. Geussing its something like someone else said about the dialogue box being off screen somewhere. Again, what a mess....

quoteI've seen a lot of people comment the same basic thing as "Change your primary screen to your built-in display (drag the menu bar in the Displays arrangement screen)."

 

That'd be me. I realize it's a workaround, but people are still posting in this thread clearly without having seen this workaround yet. Obviously there is no fix as of yet, so a workaround is literally all we have.

@miky_92010 Yes, exactly the same with me. Very annoying as I save from PS very often.

Same here.  By unplugging all monitors and using my laptop on it's own tends to fix the issue.

I run a Mac Pro 2013, latest OS and CS.

It makes no difference which of my 2 monitors I set as main screen. Most CS software has issues with certain dialog boxes including save as and making PDFs etc etc.

The ONLY solution so far is only run ONE monitor.

This is not a fix, this is a workaround. One that is annoying for a lot of us. Hopefully Adobe will actually fix it soon

Yes, I have given PS full disk access.

The problem is that when I have an image in PS and I open FILES and click SAVE AS.... nothing happens. Also with EXPORT AS, nothing happens. Only works with
Fast export as JPG.
I have uninstalled PS and reinstalled and nothing. I have the last version. PS 23.0.2. I should install an older version?

Thanks for answering.

Hey there,

got the following problem:

When I connect my iPad to my Mac via Sidecar to use it as a 3rd monitor and want to save the file, the Finder window doesn't show up anymore. When I diconnect the iPad, everything works fine again. I can't find the Finder window on this third monitor either.

Does anyone know this Problem and can help me out?

Already tried:

  • renaming the UXP Folder in Application Support
  • re-install Photoshop and reset deafault settings

Versions:

  • MacOS Monterey v12.0.1
  • Photoshop 2022 (for M1 Chips) v23.0.2

 

Kind regards
