I upgraed to Monterey 12.5 and now my pictures won't export. My computer says they're there if I try to export the same photo, but the folder is empty. I know I had this problem before a few years ago but I don't remember how it was fixed. I don't know which version of LR I'm using. I don't know how to find that information. It's an older one.

By folder, do you mean the LrC Folders panel, or in the MACOS Finder, looking st a folder on the hard drive?

Screenshots of both may be helpful.

on my computer I use the file feature and it has the option to create a new folder. That's what I mean by folder. I start a new folder and label it. When I edit a photo in LR and I ask LR to export the photo I choose the folder I created. Right now LR will not export the photos. My computer thinks it's 's there. If I attempt to export the same photo again I get a message saying it's already in the folder. But I look in the folder and it's empty. I tried to drag the folder into my Flickr acct but Flickr said they're corrupted.

I have been trying to find out why my photos willnolonger export. Seems you can't talk to a real person and no one in the community has answered me. I'm about ready to cancelmy subscription and find some other photo editing program that has customer support.

Where are you exporting to? Have you tried a standard location like the desktop? Can you show us a screenshot of your export settings please?

As a first troubleshooting step, make sure you've granted LR Full Disk Access:

everything is checked. I assume that means I have access

My computer thinks the photos have been exported but I open the folder and nothing is there. I thought this might be because I didn't upgrade everything so I went and upgraded to the newest OS but the problem persists
