Hey there,

I'm trying to create a new catalog in LR Classic 12.2.1 running on Apple M1 Pro 16GB MAC OS Ventura, VER 13.2.1.

I just keep getting the attached error message. Never had this issue before, not sure if it's a simple fix but any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

And I would not suggest you place a catalog in the 'Applications' folder. (It may be restricted anyway!)

You are still attempting to save the Catalog in the APPLICATIONS folder! (NOT allowed I believe!)-

Try another folder {eg.Documents}.

Also LrC does not like some characters in folder and file names and treats them as "illegal", including your [+] as your screen-clip indicates. Use only [Space] or [ _ ] in folder and file names. Modify the new Catalog name.
