    I've branched your post and change the title to be descriptive of the problem you are having.

    The problem is because the drive and or folder you have selected in the Export dialog to save the exported image to does not have the proper permissions for your user name.

    You need to either change the permissions on that folder, giving both Read & Write permissions for your username.

    Or select a different folder that your username does have both read & write permissions to.

    I'm using the maс system. I'm using an administrator account. This error occurs when you export any folder. I think the problem is not this.

    no, on the computer's disk.


    Please open Finder, browse to the Macintosh HD/Users/nadia/Desktop then Right click on it and select Get Info.

    You will see a dialog box like this.

    At the bottom make sure your username is listed and that it has Read & Write Privileges. If not you can change it so it does.

    A google search for Change Permissions on a folder in OS X will give you all the info on how to do that. It's very simple.

    But the Desktop folder is not the best place to store exported images. They will all show on your Mac Desktop and even possibly covering up other icons on your desktop.

    You should create a folder specifically for exporting images to or in the Export dialog window select to store them with the originals.

    Also you are selecting to resize the images with Width & Height but you are not specifying the height. So basically you want your exported images to be 1200 pixels wide with NO height. LR can't do that.
