Import Issue - new computer

New Here ,
Oct 07, 2025 Oct 07, 2025

I have been using a Macbook Pro for years.  A year ago, I purchased a Macbook Air.  Both computers were running the same OS.  Lightroom will not import photos when using the Air, but will when using the Pro.

Lightroom reads the photos on both computers, but gives an error message that photos can't be downloaded only on the Air.  All photos are being moved from a camera memeory disk to an external starage HD.

 

Thoughts or suggestions welcome!

Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)? What version NUMBER? Also what version NUMBER of your MAC OS? We need the version NUMBERs and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date".

 

Please quote the exact unedited word-for-word error message.

Your issue might be lack of permissions for the target drive. Try this.

Thank you, I've been in contact with Apple with no resolution yet as I have been busy with other projects.

Hi @GJDives!

Just checking in to see if you're still running into that issue. Let me know when you get a chance!
If you do, did you try giving Full Disk Access to your Macbook Air? https://adobe.ly/4nbcqTq
Thanks so much,
Alek
