Anybody there to help out with the issue

Welcome to the Lightroom Classic community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out.

What version of macOS & Lightroom Classic are you working on? Did you install the macOS update through a backup, or is it a clean install? Is there an error or pop-up you see?

Try these steps.

Ensure Lightroom has the required disk access & permissions:https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access-to-lightroom-classic-on-macos/td-p/12913413

Go to the following location to launch Photoshop via terminal
In Finder > Application > Lightroom Classic > Right-click on Lightroom.app > Show Package Contents > Contents > macOS > Lightroom - double click to open.

Let me know how it goes from here,

Thanks!

Dear Sameer,

Thank you so much for taking your time to look into my problem.

I did all the steps you recommended for access and permissions, but nevertheless nothing changed.

I have macOS Ventura 13.0.1 and Lightroom Classic 12.1.

Likewise, I did Ventura installation without any back up.

When going through all the process you recommended arriving to Package Contents, I got this message.

There is no error or pop up message. LrC starts opening but immediately closes.

Thank you once again for your time and help

Best regards

Jozo
