macOS Sierra 10.12.6 not saving Screenshots

I bought a new macbook pro and everything was running smoothly but some days ago I noticed that the screenshots (command+shift+3) are not saving to the Desktop (it was working before), only saving to the clipboard.

• It is not a wrong shortcut since I can hear the screenshot sound.

• I have already tried to Force Quit Finder or restart the Mac and none of these worked.

• I have already tried this terminal command defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop/ and killall SystemUIServer but they didnt work as well.

• I do not have DropBox Installed

I am a developer so I install new dependencies every day, it may have changed some default configurations?

I figured it out. I have the latest mac, that comes with the Touch Bar. So I noticed that when a press command+shift+4 (without the control, so it should save directly to the desktop) my Touch Bar shows this:

So, as you can see, it was saving to the Clipboard, instead of the Desktop (I probably did this by touching the Touch Bar unintentionally). Then, if you did everything that I wrote at my question and nothing happened, probably this is your problem too.

How to solve this:

• Press command+shift+4, so your Touch Bar will look like the image above.
• So, all you got to do is change the option that is selected at the Save to: section to Desktop.

Doing this, both command+shift+3 and command+shift+4 will now save your Screen Shots to the Desktop.

Instead of using this terminal command :

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop/

Try a different approach using this terminal command

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/yourusername/Desktop/

Obviously replace “yourusername” with your username
