Sorry, part of my email got deleted. #3 should have said

> 3. I closed the file I was working on and tried to reopen it and retry typeset. When I did that, I got a file with nothing in it but the following message:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.22 (TeX Live 2021) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./Problem Set for Kathryn -- Vietas and proof.tex/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex: getcwd: Operation not permitted

My apologies for the confusion.

POtentially decades worth of work appears to have disappeared, hundreds of documents. I'm praying this isn't the case, that for some reason I just can't access them. It told me the file was locked. I tried to unlock it and it said I didn't have permission. These are files that I've been using and develolping for many, many years. I didn't try to open many of them, for fear that the process of trying to open them might be destroying the information.
