I've just migrated from an Intel Imac to a new M3 imac. everything seems to be working fine, but I notice that I can no longer save anything to the desktop - I can see the file in the sidebar, but I can't save anything in it.
this isn't an icloud issue as I don't use icloud - it's switched off.
I have a feeling it's got something to do with the imac backup that I've also got on Dropbox? I can't think of anything else it would be.
thanking in advance 🙂

Hi Genie123, thanks for posting today.
Could you clarify exactly what you're referring by not being able to save to your desktop?
Which programs are you using when saving? Are you referring to the desktop folder itself?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

Thanks Jay - here's a screenshot of what happens when I click on the Desktop folder from the finder.
in terms of saving - I first noticed the problem when trying to save a word document locally, to the desktop of the machine I'm working on right now. I wasn't able to do that. so, for instance, if I'm in MS Word, I click 'save as', and then click the desktop in the sidebar, nothing happens - I just continue to see whatever folder I was in the last time I saved. does that make sense?
