Sonoma 14.2.1 has been released and contains fixes that address the issues introduced in 14.2. Please update directly to 14.2.1 or if you are already on 14.2, please update to 14.2.1 as soon as your system allows.

    MacOS Sonoma 14.2 was released yesterday, not two weeks ago. That means your problems have nothing to do with this particular update.

    Let's try to help people with actual answers.

     You can try using a Time Machine restore point to go back if you have one, but you will still lose any data or software updates created after that point.  Here's a helpful article on some options you can try:

    Hope that helps.

    Ah that explains some things we've seen on the forums and other places yesterday with people unable to import from phones and cameras.

    After updating to macOS 14.2 (M1 Max Mac Studio), Lightroom Classic does not detect or see a connected iPhone.

     

    The iPhone is seen by macOS.  It appears in the Finder, and Apple Photos is able to import.  Photoshop is also able to detect and use the conntected iPhone.

     

    Lightroom Classic does not see the connected iPhone at all during an import.

    Apple changed the security requirements in MacOS Monterey and later. Go to MacOS 'System Settings - Security & Privacy' and add Lightroom Classic to "Full Disk Access" if it is not in there yet or not enabled. See Quick Tips: How to give Full Disk Access to Lightroom Classic on macOS

    I have full disc access enabled for Lightroom but it still doesn't recognize my iPhone 15. It worked up until at least Dec, 8th.
