Why: LR doesn't have access to some Standard folders?

And what to do?

Just restored 2023 Macbook Pro using TM. (Ventura 13.5)

Maybe that's it? 

Thanks guys.

Apple changed the security requirements in MacOS Monterey and later. Go to MacOS 'System Settings - Security & Privacy' and add Lightroom Classic to "Full Disk Access". Click on the lock icon to unlock the settings (not needed in Ventura), then click on the plus icon to add Lightroom Classic if it isn't already listed. If it is listed, then just enable the checkbox (or the switch in Ventura). See also Quick Tips: How to give Full Disk Access to Lightroom Classic on macOS

Thanks!

How about adding Adobe Lightroom App - which is what comes up?

[JohanElzenga]

I'm sorry, but I do not understand what you mean. The error dialog you posted is from Lightroom Classic. Adobe Lightroom Classic and Adobe Lightroom are not the same apps.

[raphaels28255986]

True. But when I went to Full disk access Adobe Lightroom App was already there waiting to be added.

Hence my question.

[JohanElzenga]

You can add it, bit it has nothing to do with the Lightroom Classic error (and obviously won't solve it).

[raphaels28255986]

Thank you Johan.

But the question remains as to where I go find the LR Classic app to add it?

The post @JohanElzenga linked is pretty clear. Once in Privacy and Security, you click on the + which opens a browser window, where you go to Applications and to the Adobe Lightroom Classic folder and select the application.

Thank you Sean. "The post @JohanElzenga linked is pretty clear"....  to YOU maybe. But if I am asking a follow up question what IS clear to anyone willing to help is that ... "I" am NOT clear about his (very kind) input.

Your follow up comment fixes that for me though. Thank you for doing so.

Meanwhile, try not to lecture people posting on this forum. That's not the purpose here.

Take good care.

Hmmm ....  I don't see Adobe Lightroom Classic in this screen shot.

[JohanElzenga · Accepted solution]

This screen shot only shows the overview of all items that belong to 'Privacy and Security'. Click on 'Full Disk Access' in the right panel...

Thank you Johan. Got it!
