Finder keeps saying file cannot be found I repeatedly get a problem when double clicking on a file. The finder says: ""file name" can't be found" Clicking the file again it magically seems to have found the file which was there already. I hoped the latest update of Ventura would fix it but it hasn't. Any ideas? I am using Ventura 13.1 on an iMacPro

macOS Ventura not showing files on SD card Seems like there is a problem with macOS ventura showing the complete contents of SD cards from my Aukey dash cam. I'm using a USB-C to multiport dongle with a microSD card. On macOS Ventura the SD card is detected and I can see the folder structure, but the folder with all the recordings is empty. Taking the same USB-C to multiport adaptor and plugging it in on a mac with Monterey it shows the files immediately. Same on a Windows 11 PC. This is reproducible with 2 dash cams and 2 SD cards. Any ideas?

Access to files from macOS Monterey to macOS Big Sur inconsistent I have an iMac running Big Sur 11.7 that I regularly wish to access files on from a MacBook running Monterey 12.6. Here are three folders on the Big Sur iMac that I wish to regularly access: From the MacBook I can see all the files in Pictures and Movies, but can see no files in Documents. It shows a file count of zero. I have no idea what is wrong here. Any suggestions?
