Whenever I attempt to make a preference change, I get a "Failed to Save Settings" error message. I thought it maybe needed the beta registration code, but when I attempt to put it in there, I get a "Failed to store registration code in database" message. I deleted the .app file, and the .plist file and reinstalled, but still get the message. Any ideas?

I'm on Snow Leopard, and it's MakeMKV v1.6.2

Are you running two copies of MakeMKV at a time? Do you have a folder named ".MakeMKV" in your home folder, and are there any files inside?

Only running it once. No .MakeMKV folder anywhere inside my home folder.

Please create a folder named ".MakeMKV" in your home folder and try again.

I'll try that. I did note that when I made a new user/profile, saving worked...so it is definately something with my account.

Where do I put the .makemkv folder (do I name it with the period in front?)? I don't think I can make a folder right in the root of my home directory (with the Documents, Pictures, etc. folders). Where exactly do I put it?

THanks!

Exactly there. Try from a terminal

Was unable to create the directory-so I took a look at permissions-and it turns out my user account only had read only access to my own home directory! Fixed that and now the program is working normally...thanks!!!

I had the exact same issue when trying to register the latest beta key.

In my case, I resolved it by deleting all the files inside ~/.MakeMKV and then registering the latest beta key again.

This command I ran will work on Linux and MacOS in the terminal:

sudo rm -rf ~/.MakeMKV/*

But like others said previously, make sure that the folder ~/.MakeMKV actually exists in the first place and create it if it doesn't.
