Did you follow the instructions in the error message to run First Aid on the Container? The problem is with the hidden Container so running First Aid on the APFS volumes won't do a thing.


Unfortunately Disk Utility now hides the Containers & physical drives so within Disk Utility click "View" and select "Show All Devices" so that the physical drive and hidden Containers appear on the left pane of Disk Utility. If you still get the error, then run First Aid while booted into Recovery Mode. If the errors remain, then try running First Aid several times. If after several attempts the errors remain, then you will need to erase the drive followed by reinstalling macOS & restoring from a backup.


Here is an Apple article for rotating pictures on an iPhone/iPad....I'm sure Android devices have a similar ability:

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.


The issue with the container drive and my data was resolved, but only after erasing everything and reinstalling OS 15 and my data from a back up made prior to attempting the repairs.


Side Note: The Used \ 116.75 GB and Free \ 867.82 GB amounts appear to have nearly reversed from original start. Indicating, to my untrained eye, a serious issue was cleared.


Too bad the personal settings (fine tuning my desktop experience) often do not carryover when reinstalling. A minor inconvenience, but still too bad.


Thanks again everyone I appreciate the help.
