Question

import DNG (Leica SL2) into Lightroom 12.01 - MacBook Pro 13, M2, 2022

hi.

  • Lightroom Classic 12.01
  • Macbookpro 13, M2, 2022, 24 ram, 2tb (brand new)
  • ventura 13.0

I`d like to import DNGs from my Leica SL2 direct to the macbookpro (connected via USBc cable) via Lightroom. Lightroom is creating 2 folders (see attached screenshot) but the import failed.

LR reports a error message - .. files could not be read or the designation-folder has no write rights....

--> when i do the some with my NIKON Z9 - everything works fine!! 

 

-------------------

i don`t know if OSX or Adobe is the problem.

before i updated to ventura and to the latest LR everything worked fine...

Initial troubleshooting:

 

1. Make sure you've granted LR Full Disk Access (required even if you've previously granted LR Files And Folders access):

2. Are the destination folders on an external drive?  There was a problem with that with Mac OS 13 that LR 12.0.1 is supposed to fix, but I recall some posts claiming they still experienced a problem.

 

3. Try importing use a card reader rather than a USB cable.

hi.

1) LR has full access

2) no it is the internal disk

3) transfer via cardreader works.

ad-> the transfer via cable (usbc) works with my Nikon Z9 with no problems.....

There are some other reports of importing via USB cable not working with LR 12 / Mac OS 13.  Hopefully a pattern will start to emerge.


I found the solution! - I have to change the USB settings on the Camera from PTP to MassStorage. 

now all is fine.....
