Issues with exporting as of updating to MacOS Monterey

Post by Goldian » Tue Mar 22, 2022 11:58 pm

Hi there, I recently updated my several year old Mac to Monterey 12.3, and today I finally opened up Ableton for the first time since updating. I've tried exporting a file and have run into an issue, which is that I simply can't. I can click export audio/video and the menu the pops up works perfectly fine, however when I click Export, the file menu doesn't work at all. I cannot navigate the menu, name the file, etc, and the Save button is greyed out. The only thing I can do is press escape to close the menu.
How do I go about fixing this?

That's weird, no problems here in any version on Monterey so far. Only thing I can think of is check in System Preferences that Live is granted full Files and Folders access. There's so many new security layers with Monterey I wonder if that's the issue?

Does this problem happen with all sets or just a particular one? If it's just a particular set maybe there's a plugin that's not happy. You could try temporarily deleting half your tracks and see if you can now export... if exporting now works you know someting in that deleted buch of tracks was the issue. Rinse/repeat by process of elimination until you find the offender. Just an idea.

What version of Live are you using?

No trouble here either on 12.3 with Live 11.1.1 (Intel Mac in case it matters). Export works as it always has for me.
