Unable to export any images "the file could not be written"

I use Lightroom almost daily, and out of nowhere when I try to export any images to save to desktop (or thumb drive) I get a message that says "some export operations were not performed" at heading, and "the file could not be written" in the body of message.  I've installed updates, cleared room on hard drive, etc.  Please advise.  I've got deadlines!!

Try exporting to the external disk, your Operating system is literally ”Gasping for air”. Export utilizes lots of resources, and it's best to free up disk space on you main drive for efficient operating.

Hi. Did you ever figure this one out?

 

I am using the latest Lightroom Classic on a Mac running Catalina version 10.15.5 and experiencing your same problems.

 

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Try to export to a different folder. Try to export to a different disk.

    In your first screen shot, where it says the  could not be written, did you try clicking on "show in finder"

     

    The reason I am questioning this is that maybe that image  - the CR2 original - is not actually on your system...in otherwords...Lightroom is showing you the thumbnail, but it cannot export it because the actual original file is not there.

      I am using Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6 w/ LR 5.7.1
      I have closed other programs, tried exporting all sorts of different file (older, newly imported, different groups, etc.) to different places/ folders.  Desktop, Documents, differently named folders, etc.  
      I didn't change how I normally do things unless it was an accident. Same message every time.  Please let me know if there is any other info that would be useful.  Thanks for the help.
