Help! I have a load of JPEGs on my Mac running Monterey. I cannot open them or copy them. They are all on a new external SSD. Many files can be opened, but many cannot. I just get a message that I don’t have permission.
I checked file permission and all looks okay
I have checked containing folder and permissions look okay too. I have even used Terminal and issued a “chmod -R +rw” on the root folder, but files still cannot be opened. I cannot even copy them. I get this popup:
This is just one folder. As you can see, I can open some, but not others.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
