Hi @marjee36087345,

 

Thanks for confirming you’re on macOS 26 (Tahoe) and using a Nikon D850.

 

To move this forward, please share your Lightroom Classic System Info:

• In Lightroom Classic, go to Help > System Info
• Copy and paste the full text here

Also, please confirm:

• Are you using any specific lens when tethering with the D850?
• Have you already tried the troubleshooting steps here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-tethered-capture-lightroom.html
• And the setup guide here:https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/import-photos-tethered-camera.html

 

If those did not help, please try this macOS permission reset workflow:

• Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access
• Remove Lightroom Classic from the list
• Go to Privacy & Security > Files and Folders
• Remove Lightroom Classic there as well
• Restart your Mac

 

After restart:

• Launch Lightroom Classic
• Try tethering again and see if macOS prompts for folder/device access

If it does not prompt:

• Go back to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders
• Manually add Lightroom Classic
• Ensure Removable Volumes is toggled ON (along with other folder permissions)
• Restart again and test

 

Once you share the System Info, I can review your exact build and provide more guidance.

 

Regards,
Anshul Saini

@ko157F 

You have indicated that the camera is a Nikon, but given no information on the specific model (e.g Z6, Z8, etc) Please provide the exact camera model. Without this information we can't check whether the camera even has tether support.
