| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| “Not a valid Pinterest link” | Copied text, or a search / ideas page | Use Share → Copy link; the link must contain /pin/ or pin.it |
| “Pin not found” or private | Pin is private, secret or deleted | Open it while logged out; if it does not show, it cannot be saved |
| “Too many requests” | Fair-use limit (~30 lookups a minute) | Wait 60 seconds and try again |
| Video plays instead of saving | Safari or the browser opened the MP4 | iPhone: Share → Save to Files. Computer: right-click → Save video as |
| No sound | Pin has no audio, or app-added licensed music | Nothing to fix; licensed music is not in the public file |
| File will not open | HEVC or WebP not supported by the app | Pick the H.264 MP4, or convert WebP with the Media Converter |
