1 - The fotos library is stationed on an external device (SSD, 2TB, correctly formatted). I tried everything: shut down, repairing, checking the rights ... everything is correct. But I'm not able to save any pictures on the device. Is there a trick? Thank you!

1 - what is "correctly formatted"?

2 - are you seeing this error message in Photos?

3 - have you tried Image Capture to import the photos either directly into the Photos library or to a folder on the drive first?

4 - have you tried booting into boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and testing to see if the problem persists? Then reboot normally and text again.

Note:  if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode.  This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a successful boot into Safe Mode.

thank you for your help! "correctly formatted" ment "Mac Os extended (Journaled)". Honestly, I can't believe ist, but yesterday, I have been so frustated, I shot down my mac for an hour. Completely. And after that I booted up again. And surprise: everything worked fine. I didn't shut down after repairing the device, perhaps that was the only point I missed. I don't know. It works, that is all that matters.

That's another case of the "ghost in the machine". It just needed some down time. 🫢
