Thanks for all that information. I also made contact with Apple support today. Not an easy thing to do. She had a look at what I had downloaded , and eventually explained that I was downloading the wrong LMS. I needed one for macOS Catalina not LMS Mac OSX). So I searched again and there is material on the Logitech website headed "Important information for Logitech Control Centre and macOS Catalina and Mojave". It explains that you have to update the Logitech Control Centre BEFORE installing macOS Catalina. Now they tell me. It also gives a link to the Download page. Then there is a link to "LCC permission prompts on macOS Catalina". It states that "Starting with macOS Catalina, (10.15) Apple has a new policy that requires user permission for LCC software for the following features:
INPUT MONITORING is needed for the device software functionality to work SCREEN RECORDING is needed to record your screen to use the screen capture function ACCESS TO FILES AND FOLDERS for Open file/folder tasks Don't know whether that makes any sense. It all looks great until you try to do it when once again the screenshots shown in detail on the support pages are nothing like the ones that come up on my screen, and the LCC will download to file/folder but won't install or open. No idea whether, if I ever get that bit sorted, I then have to download and install LMS as well. Maybe it's because I have already installed Catalina, but there is no instruction that it should be uninstalled first. Would I lose everything if I did? Heartily fed up with the whole thing. But at least Logitech acknowledged elsewhere that there is a problem, and that they are still working on it with Apple. I'll study your very kind and helpful information when I gather strength tomorrow morning and see if there is something there that will work. Don't think I've ever heard of "Logitech Control Centre" though. Your advice is very much appreciated, I can assure you.
