to me it sounds as if you are initiating a screen recording instead of a screen shot. that is usually why you would be having your issue. if that is the case, when you start a screen recording, a "stop button" appears on your menubar. click it to stop the recording and it will then be saved to your chosen "save to" location.



for future reference, please see this:
