Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 20 6:12 am)



Subject: Can't save in Poser 5 or 6 on a Mac

Ok, so all of a sudden, Poser on both my iMac and G5 (os 10.4.1) will not save files! It stopped working in version 5 so I upgraded to 6 and same problem. The only thing I can figure is something in a recent apple software update is causing it. I can't find anyone else with this problem on the web but since it is happening on both my machines I can't be the only one. What happens is I go to save and the file menu stays highlighted but no save window appears. If I click on the desktop, the save window appears above the poser interface but is grayed out. If I try to hit save, it dissapears and poser locks up. I then have to force quit. This happens with any file, even an empty one. Help!!

Did you try to repair permissions?

It's definitely weird. If there are any other programs where the "save" command doesn't work, you have to do the wonderful OS X drill: run Diskwarrior, repair permissions, check for bad fonts, re-install the software, re-install the OS. It was never this bad in OS 9, but unfortunately they didn't write Poser 5/6 for the obsolete OS.

Well, thinking it might be a OS problem, I went back cleaned out the drive and installed 10.3. After installing everything it is working fine now. I put some DAZ content in last week(forgot about that) that I am now scared to install into my runtime folder but I think I will do it cause I have to know. If that's it, and i doubt it, I'll warn everyone. The crazy thing is is that it is happening on my G5 at work and my iMac at home so it's probably either a new software update or those DAZ files.

My vote would be the update, but Daz is not above suspicion. Others have mentioned that Tiger killed Poser, and that its first update killed SR1.
