Hello,

I updated my MacBook Air to mackOS Ventura. Now I cannot open my desktop anymore (for example I cannot create a new folder or save anything on my desktop). It shows the error -8072. What could i do? I have done the update again but it didn't help.

Macbook desktop not working. My desktop has erased all my folders after losing battery. When I charged it and rebooted it, all my files on the desktop were erased. Now every time I try to click on the desktop file or document file in finder, it comes up as non-existent. Not only that but when I try to create a new folder, it comes up with error -8072. Please help.

!MAC NOT OPERATING PROPERLY! Hi! My Mac has been having constant errors and it is currently running macOS Big Sur version 11.4 It says that it needs to update to macOS Big Sur Version 11.6 but it doesn't successfully update (And yes I checked if there is sufficient space and I have retried the update multiple times). With that, I can't open and run Safari and I have to use Firefox as an alternative. I shut down the mac but it will flash an error message and then restart again. I tried running the sbin/fsck -fy to try and fix any corrupt files but then it sends a message saying, "warning: option -f is not implemented, ignoring error: container /dev/rdisk2 is mounted with write access" Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem?
