Cannot open external hard drives.
« on: September 09, 2022, 08:10:21 PM »
Suddenly I cannot open 2 hard drives in Photomachanic that before..going on for years,  I was able to open.   I have ejected the hard drives and installed, I have switched off P/M and installed. I can open them both through their icons on desktop. I have a third hard drive installed that is okay. I have attached a screen shot of my problem and I hope someone can help me.

Have you given Photo Mechanic "Full Disk Access" in the System Preferences?
