I am unable to import my NEF files from my Nikon Z7II or Z8 into LR Classic. It is showing that the files are not writable. Another issue I'm seeing is that I can not creeate a new folder to import to. I have restared my computer a few times, tried downloading to my desktop first and then try to import but nthing is working.

These are the same files I have been importing for a long time. Any ideas?

    What is the EXACT word-for-word error message when it says files are not writeable?

     

    Also, why can't you create a new folder? What steps do you follow? What happens when you try? (If there is an error message, please give us the exact word-for-word error message)

    Sorry thay I haven't been back here. Its been interesting. As far as I can tell I have two Seagate Drives that are no longer functioning with my macbook pro. I was able to import those phots to a different drive but I'm still working on figuring out if I can access the photos on the older drives. Problem seems to be the Ventura update and NFTS drives.

    No version of MacOS can write to an NTFS formatted drive! Maybe you have a third party utility that allowed MacOS to write to such drives, and that utility is not compatible with the update?
