Lightroom Classic won't import photo's

Question

Hello,

I am running Lightroom classic on a new 27" Mac, I use a Nikon D810. When I try to import photo's with the camera or CF card, LRC won't recognize either source, they don't even show up on the source list. I have been using LR for at least 10 years and have never experienced this issue. I only surfaced when I had to download the internet, monthly subscription versions. I initially had trouble downloading them as well but Adobe support took over my computer and fixed all the issues, so I don't think my problem has to do with the initial download of the program.

Thanks and regards

Howard

Is this a common MACOS (Catalina and newer) cyber security issue, a user error? Perhaps the app does not have complete files and folders rights?

see:

and:

often MAC users make an error answering a security pop up, and fail to allow LrC access to removable volumns, happens once (first time LrC attempts) easily fixed.
