I just installed Lightroom on a new Macbook Pro and connected to my external drives where i store photos. It is not showing any photos when I try and import them into a new catalog. When importing from a memory card I get a message saying can't show preview when using Olympus RAW ORF files. They used to work just fine before. Attaching screenshots. Any suggestions?
I will make an assumption, new MACOS is newer tan Catalina, old MACOS was older than Catalina. Or at any rate, a pop up message when you first launched LrC on the new computer, was answered incorrectly. Typically FIles and Folders Cyber security not allowing LrC to access removable volumes, including SD cards, and external Hard drives.
For a similar posting , see (ref 1). Solution was fixing MACOS Files and Folders security. Also, see (ref 2)
note: ref 2 not what it used to be content wide, but it does address subject.t?
Ahh, and (ref 3) speaks to the very problem.
