(macOS) Lightroom Classic Help! My Photos won't sync settings anymore

Question

I've been struggling with this for nearly two months now. My most updated version of Lightroom Classic will no longer sync my settings to multiple photos. I can only copy and paste settings one photo at a time. I am a full time wedding photographer and I need to figure out how to batch sync my photos again, any ideas? I tried uninstalling Lightroom Classic all together, switching to Lightroom CC, but I just perfer Classic. I use a macbook pro, if that helps.

Hey, @Lightbloom Photography. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic Community. I'll help you figure this out.

Where do you keep your originals? What troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Try these basic troubleshooting steps:

Ensure Lightroom has all the required permissions on the macOS: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access...
On macOS Ventura, the steps are slightly different. Check the video added in the post mentioned above.

If you've already added Lightroom Classic under Full Disk access & the issue exists, try repairing the folder-level permissions for Lightroom Classic.

In this article, scroll down to 'Manually change folder permissions' & follow each step until the step for starting up in Safe Mode: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-basic-troubleshooting-fix-most-issues.html

This is going to be a manual effort. Please keep me posted on how it goes.

Thanks!
