Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, no, that doesn't seem to help. My LyX file is in a different place. But moving it back to the Applications folder didn't help. Nor did customizing the path (I didn't do these two things simultaneously :) ). I wonder if my pdfsync package could be out of date. I tried to update everything last night (TeX installation, LyX, Skim), but I'm not sure how to check if pdfsync is uptodate or not. (of course, I coudln't get synctex to work either).
