Multiple scores not opening
A bunch of my scores wont open because it says they are invalid. They are all saved to the cloud so I don't know if that's a problem but this problem only started happening recently. I even made a new score, saved it, then returned not a minute later and it was invalid.
EDIT: I checked my cloud saves and apparently the ones that dont work were never saved to the cloud. I literally pressed the same buttons I do everytime and it's not working. The only ones that arent saving are the ones made in the recent and previous updates. I dont know why they wont save to cloud.

Can you view them if you actually go to musescore.com in your web browser and log into your account there and view your scores? If not then I'm afraid they weren't saved. You may be able to recover a locally cached version on your machine though. The location varies by system, but on Windows it should be something like AppData/Local/MuseScore/MuseScore4/cloud_scores

I can't see them on the web browser, and they arent in my cloud_saves. I think they are just gone forever.

Folders where you can search for musescore files (Windows) if you did not save one:
- C:\Users{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4
- C:\Users{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores
- C:\Users{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores\ .mscbackup
- C:\Users{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Scores
- C:\Users{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Scores\ .mscbackup
- C:\Users{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Cloud Scores
This list may be incomplete or incorrect though

If you are on Windows, you have AppData - it's built into the system. It might be hidden so you might need to enable the display of hidden files to see it.
If not Windows, tell us which OS you are on so people familiar with that OS can assist better.

I accessed my AppData folder and i opened the things that were there but they just say invalid which is what they said from the start. I checked the backup ones but they are just the scores that did save

You will need to copy these into another folder and open them from there. Otherwise MuseScore will keep trying to go online to sync it, and that will fail if your score isn’t to be found there.

What would the step by step process for Mac be in this situation I get two different pop ups some that say "score is invalid" and others that say they "couldn't connect to Musescore." How do I access that cache folder on mac
