Arduino Nano: programmer out of sync

Hi,
all of the sudden my arduino nano can't be programmed anymore.

I just get this:

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)"

Sketch uses 8936 bytes (29%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 559 bytes (27%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1489 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

the selected serial port 
 does not exist or your board is not connected

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

For some reason it looks like the USB-Serial port on that Nano is not working anymore.

I'm not aware of any changed that I made that might cause this. I always was able to program this Arduino. Any ideas on what might have changed that causes this?

I get the same message with just the blink sketch,...
