If it always happens, delete the preferences and that will fix it. It's not the only possibility, however, and, if your temp and Finale folders are in the correct locations. If your folders are not in the default location on your boot drive, there's about a 99% chance that a connection went to sleep - if on a USB remote drive, that goes to 99.9999999%. 2 is a generic OS error that says you don't have permissions to write to (fill in the blank here). Either way, if I find something useful, I'll add it to the thread. I did just put in a support ticket or whatever, so hopefully that gets an answer. The Finale issue has been happening for months, but I've been so busy with other things that I haven't had a lot of spare cycles to figure it out. Relatively fresh install of OS and Finale. My desired result of asking for help is to get to a state where Finale just saves any file anytime I ask it without popping error messages. I'm getting used to closing out Finale and reopening before I do any work as well as saving much more frequently, so I've been coping.

My work around is to screenshot it (or PDF or save as musicxml or save as midi - can't save as Finale 2012), reopen the last saved version, and hope I hadn't made a lot of changes. If I leave an arrangement open on Finale idle for a day or so, it seems to fail consistently. I've had many instances where I have a project open in Finale 25.5.0.259 (as well as older versions) under macOS 10.12.6 and any attempts to save (garden variety musx document) or Export as Finale 2012 (mus document) fail with an Error Occurred ID -2 message.
