That makes me think it is something in the OS that is cause. Usually, it is either space or permissions causing problems like this. But, a time out is strange unless the copy was happening over the network. You need to check where temporary files are created and that you have access and can use it. Beyond that, I don't use a Mac, so can't say for sure.
After reading your reply, I immediately knew the issue. I have my calibre library on OneDrive. This allows me access to my books anywhere. The OneDrive app was not running. Starting OneDrive fixed the issue.

Thanks so much for your help!
