Can't create new folders in Monterey I was with Sierra on a 12-year old MacPro, after 37 years of Mac experience. I just bought a refurb Mac Mini with Monterey installed, and immediately updated it to the latest version. Even though I can create a new folder on the desktop, I can't do that elsewhere. I can't move that new desktop folder anywhere else either, so it's almost useless. In the Finder, the command New Folder is greyed out. Apple simply says that if that's the case it's because you can't do that (of course!!!), but without offering a solution, which is highly frustrating. I'm the Admin, so it should not be a question of Permissions... I surmise the problem is related to the new drive structure (one part read-only, and the Data part read-write), but only a single entry (the internal SSD) shows up in the Finder sidebar.

You can try resetting user permissions to see if that will help.
