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!

I suspect the system tray message applies to the Windows version, and should be ignored on OS X.
The lock file is a hidden file (because its filename starts with a .), and won't show up in Finder. You'll need to run Terminal and type "rm .calibre_calibre\ GUI.lock", which should delete it. If you want to see if it's there before you delete it, type "ls -a", which will list all files in the directory including hidden ones.
