I've been searching this forum and cannot find an answer and I need help!

I just upgraded from a powerbook to a macbook pro and Calibre is not working. I downloaded Calibre just fine. When I launch it for the first time (not from the dmg, but as copied to my Applications folder), it complains:

calibre is already running: calibre may be running in the system tray, in the upper right region of the screen. If you are sure it is not running, try deleting the file: /Users/MyUserName/.calibre_calibre GUI.lock

1. It is not running
2. There appears to be no such file on the computer
3. What is this "system tray"? I can't find that either.

My OS is updated and it's the latest version of calibre: Version: 0.6.31

Can anyone help me get Calibre running on my new machine? Thanks!
