When I save my score to desktop, normally it is the Sibelius icon. Instead, now it is just a blank white sheet (with corner turned down) and the words "UNABLE TO..." What does this mean? They open up okay... (just switched to Sibelius Ultimate - running on a MAC)

Even on a Mac, you should avoid saving onto the desktop. It will become far too cluttered and you will find that there are issues with permissions.

Yeah, they are still like that after restart. I'll just save them in a folder, not on desktop. They look fine there. Thanks, all!!
