The last couple of weeks I get the black box with the "file is missing" but to the right where you edit, it shows me that its is the original file. And I can edit as normal. How to remove the black box, because its really annoying to have it there. All my files has not been moved. This comes up with both pictures from the hard drive on my macbook pro and from the external disk.

 

Sincerely Nils

 

Sorry the language is the picture is Norwegian, but its almost the same words as in English

Apple changed the security requirements in MacOS Monterey. Go to MacOS 'System Settings - Security & Privacy' and add Lightroom Classic and Photoshop to "Full Disk Access". Click on the lock icon to unlock the settings, then click on the plus icon to add Lightroom Classic and/or Photoshop if it isn't already listed. If it is listed, then just enable the checkbox.

    Thank you so much. I forgot to write that it was a Lightroom-issue, but you figured it out anyway 🙂

    The fact that you posted in a Lightroom forum helped... 🙂
