Please fill in this bug report template:
**Lexicon version** : 1.1.24
**Operating system** : Mac
**Bug description** : Since updating to the latest version of Lexicon, I can’t sync my library to Serato. I get the message on the screenshot below. I have checked the permissions on my Mac and Lexicon has full disk accesss.
**Step by step to reproduce** :
1. Choose ‘Full Sync’ to Serato
2. Click Sync, followed by Confirm
3. Wait for Sync to run through. When it reaches 100% you get the message.

Any help, I’d be extremely grateful as I have a gig tomorrow and need to update my playlists for it. Thank you for your help 😊

Can you upload your Lexicon database? I’ll take a look
From the Help menu at the top

Looks like a permission error, maybe something blocking Lexicon from writing to your main drive. But I think you can work around it by deleting this track: `07376_08 Changing (Featuring Paloma Faith)_vocals_split_by_lalalai` since it’s the only track for that drive.

Hmm strange, I’ve deleted the track so giving it another go. That file was located in my download folder, which is where I have the incoming tracks set to read from. I’ll let you know if that’s solved it. Thanks for your help.

That’s fixed it, thank you so much. I had to delete the file on Lexicon not from the download folder itself to make it work
