I am using a MacBook Pro M2 with Sequoia 15.1.1. I have been using LR Desktop for about a year now. It has run perfectly. LR was automatically updated to 8.1. Unfortunately, now when I launch LR Desktop, the left side panel shows Favorites and Browse. When I click Browse, nothing happens. My external drives do not appear and I cannot select my photos. Sometimes I get a blue spinning circle. A couple of times after several minutes, the drives appeared. However, if I quit the application and launch again, the side screen is black again not showing any drives and not permitting me to Browse to find them. I also have the latest version of LR Classic and that finds my drives just fine. Is there any solution to LR 8.1? I no longer use Classic.

Hi @juliane37810218, @lindastt!

It could be due to some privacy permissions in macOS. Since macOS 10.14 (Mojave), Apple has required that applications get user consent before accessing documents. This has been even more enforced in the newer macOS versions. These changes can sometimes result in insufficient or broken permissions, which may prevent Lightroom from working correctly and disrupt your workflows.

Here's a link that shows you how to verify if Lightroom has Full Disk Access: https://adobe.ly/4fEkTun

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!
