The document could not be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application.
I get this message whenever I work on a document in Numbers or Pages that is located on a SMB network resource:
The document “X” could not be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application.
It pops up every few minutes when I am working on a document and it is so frustrating. How do I stop it happening? No one else is accessing the document.
I am using macOS Ventura v13.0.1 but the same problem also on Monterey.
Some tests that I made, but without success:
- Switch Ethernet / Wi-Fi (same problem)
- Start the iMac in Safe mode (same problem)
- Editing the document using the Guest user (same problem)
- Editing the document using a new Admin user (same problem)
- Editing the document on a Synology NAS, connected with SMB (same problem)
- Editing the document on a different SMB network drive to exclude a Synology bug (same problem)
