I got a new iMac and successfully used the Migration Assistant to move everything from my old one. I connected my external drives, and everything seemed to be in order. I opened LR and everything was as it should have been, until i tried to open a file in the Develop module. "The file can not be found" is what I saw, though the previews were fine.
I'm hoping that I'm just a couple of clicks away from being back in business - any suggestions?

Thanks, Victoria! I bet this is the issue, but...
When I attempt to grant Full Disk Access to Lightroom, LR doesn't show up in my Applications folder! I've got Adobe Photoshop 2022 listed, but Lightroom isn't there. LR is on this computer and runs fine, except for the file access issue.
I just restarted the new computer, and nothing changed.
So for now, the question is - why doesn't LR appear in my Applications folder?

It should be there, it’s in a subfolder though. Grab a screenshot of the applications folder in finder?

OK, now Lightroom is there, just as it should be! And, the Full Disk Access was the issue, all is well!
Thanks, Victoria,
Gary
