Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Seems like this is an ongoing issue was lead to this:
I entered the prompt provided and received this:
system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-swamera-indication=on
Volume on disk3s5 failed to mount
This is an encrypted and locked APFS Volume; use "diskutil apfs unlockVolume" system-override: failed to mount volume (disk3s5)
-bash-3.2#
Is there a fix for this?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.1

To be proactive you can file a bug report /submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple
Hi, the first step is to put your Mac in Recovery Mode, go to utilities and then terminal: input the prompt that was given. When you do you'll get the system log saying that the action has failed
"-bash-3.2# system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-swamera-indication=on
Volume on disk3s5 failed to mount
This is an encrypted and locked APFS Volume; use "diskutil apfs unlockVolume" system-override: failed to mount volume (disk3s5)"
When you receive this message you then want to input: disk3s5 + Enter. Your Mac will show you all the disk3 in the system, look for the in parentheses -(disk3s5), if it's different for you, you'll probably need to look for the one that says "Locked".
When you have located the (disk3s5), you'll have the option to input your password for Mac, it'll say something along the lines of "passcode" that's just the Mac password. Once you do that press enter and it will go from lock to unlock. You'll get the prompt statin it was unlock as well. After that you can restart your Mac.
Test it out and let me know if it helps you. I can do a video recording if you need it.
I don't understand the "When you receive this message you then want to input: disk3s5 + Enter. Your Mac will show you all the disk3 in the system, look for the in parentheses -(disk3s5), if it's different for you, you'll probably need to look for the one that says "Locked". Part.
It automatically puts "-bash-3.2#" after the command. And when I put "disk3s5" then enter, it doesn't work. I even tried typing in the "+ enter" as well
Hi 👋🏽
When you say quality I’m assuming you mean resolution? I haven’t experienced that but definitely check your settings in the camera and Mac to make sure resolution is being displayed optimally. It could be a compatibility issue perhaps not sure though, or even the application you’re trying to run.
Solved**
turns out that the issue stemmed from something being locked afsk5 or something like that. I had to input my Mac passcode and it now works
Can you let us know exactly where and when you input your Mac passcode? I had exactly the same problem (see my post from Dec 4). TIA!
Thank you thank you! I'll try this after I log out for the day. I'll let you know how it goes.
You're welcome, hope it helps!
Hey can you help with this or provide more help if possible?
Not sure what to do after it says “this is an encrypted and lock Apsf….”
appreciate any help in advance!
Hi 👋🏽
you should be able to enter Mac password (if any) and press enter. That will unlock and you will say it say unlock. You’ll be able to use the camera after.
Thanks yes I got it to work actually and my Sony camera now works as a webcam again.
However, I noticed the quality is not as clear as it was before? Did you find that issue too.
