Re: Can't save changes to existing text edit document.
Hi, Could it be a problem with the drive itself? What happens if you copy one of the files in question to the harddrive or another USB drive and try editing it from there?

Re: Can't save changes to existing text edit document.
Hi, Flash drives are notoriously unreliable. I suggest that you copy the files from that drive to your Mac. You can then likely make the changes you want to make. If you wish to keep using that flash drive, then after copying them to your Mac, go into Disk Utility, select the flash drive, and erase it using the MacOS Extended (Journaled) scheme. You can then copy the files back over and, as long as the drive is not damaged in any way, you should be good for now.

I just checked, and found it to be doing this on multiple documents.
