Hi all,
after upgrading to osx ventura, I can't import photos from iPhone via photo.app in a library situated in an external ssd drive ( formatted in exfat)
Seems, the foto app has not privileges to write in this disk, or something like this.
Instead, I can read and write manually in this disk, without problems.
any suggestions? thank's in advance

I would look and see if adding to Full Disk Access
>System Settings>Security & Privacy>Full Disk access you external or photo app in questions or some such as a place to start poking around

Alternatively to help isolate the issue... dragging images to the Desktop for example. Change the work flow and compare your results.
Report back you success or failure.
I tried to create a new library , in another external disk ( usb, formatted Mac OS extended and journaled) and works well.
idem if I use the internal disk; so the problem is with ExFat file system.
with osx Monterey worked well :(
The library has to sit on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or apfs, and directly connected to the Mac. This is the cause of your problem. Creating new libraries does not corrupt existing ones.
Ever since Photos was released, it was supposed to need a Mac file system. That it worked before is a mystery to me.
It could have been similar to a deprecation in that it would eventually only work on a Mac file system.
I also could have just imagined reading that somewhere.
The creation of the new Library might be the key in that the old one became corrupt.
So, the only thing I can do is to format this ssd disk.
Yes, and hope the library isn't damaged from being on an inappropriate disk. Remember that reformatting erases the disk so be sure to copy important data from it first.

You do not mention what external brand drive this is ...

Hi,
thank's for the reply, but it doesn't work .
The drive is Sandisk extreme ssd NVMe
as you can see, in the screenshot below, other apps have permission to access to removable disks.
do you know, how to set up this ? maybe this will solve the issue...Thanks again
osx ventura and photo app
