I've never had this problem before, but in a paper I'm writing which has many footnotes, some of quite long, a save command sometimes does not save. Instead I receive the warning "File not saved. Change name and save?" So far when this has happened, the file will be saved properly after another save command or, most recently, after several save command attempts, but I'm worried that I won't be so lucky the next time. Any one know what's up?
It's hard to know without more complete information. But it sounds like it's an issue that arises from the OS's failure to save the file rather than a LyX problem. Are you saving documents to folders in which you have write permissions? Do you have adequate free space on your hard drive for swap files in addition to all your files? (OS X seems to like at least 1GB free disk space; I've found I run into trouble with less than 512MB free disk space.)
You might try checking to see if there's any output from Console.app when this problem occurs.
Sorry not to be more help.... Bennett
