Calibre does not recognize Kindle 5.12.2.1.1

This is the message I get -

calibre, version 5.26.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

If you device has a "Reset to factory defaults" type of setting somewhere, use it. Underlying error: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Volumes/Kindle/driveinfo.calibre'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
