[OSX] Also Stuck on "Initializing User Interface"

I'm on a Mac OS 10.9.5. Version 2.49 will not start on my computer. From the first download of it, it stuck on the splash screen. After many steps of troubleshooting, I got past the Apple verification, and it will sit for hours on "Initializing User Interface". I can force quit it, but can not quit it regularly.

Kovid Goyal's email to me said to request the calibre-debug (gave me the full command) in terminal to get a bug report. Terminal gives me the error that there's no such file or directory - although when I open the app package, I can clearly see that the calibre-debug-g IS, in fact in the package! I can not get an error report on this, and Console reports nothing as well, except for the crash report (which I can paste here, if anyone can stand it).

I'd been having a problem with 1.48, but now it's working (I tried several resolutions, including deleting the hidden files in the User folder), and finally got my old version working after restart - but the new version is No-Go.

I'd love to take advantage of all the hard work that's gone into updating this software - it's a great app, and I have a huge library in it - I just can't even get the debug log to get information.

Anything I can do to help resolve this. I'm a Mac tech, but I don't code. So, instructions and suggestions are welcome...
