WHen did this problem start in relation with what you did/install to the Mac?


You say you are on 12.2 12.2.1 was released 2.10 so update if not already there


Just where are you trying to create the folder? Starting with Big Sure there is a sealed System volume which you can write to.


Try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.

Can you create it when in Safe Mode?

A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.

After a normal start can you create a folder?

There is something wrong with your system.

FWIW, SIP has nothing to do with. You do not need to turn it off in order to use Recovery. That is just false.


We need to know more about your setup.

Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
