Installed 2.43.0 on iMac ios 10.9.5 Calibre Frozen

Calibre installs fine as always. On start up it is frozen on initializing user interface. Tried redownload and install and got the same thing. What next?

Look for debug output in console.app or run it from a terminal as

/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre-debug -g

There is all sorts of stuff in console. Not sure what to cut and paste in here. I backed up to 2.42, then 2.4.1, still the same behavior. I'm not sure what version I had, maybe 2.3 something. (I had upgraded calibre to 2.x about 2 weeks ago. I wasn't going to step back in .1 increments till I found one that worked. I went all the way back to 1.48, and it then worked fine. I was finally booting without freezing on startup.

I still don't see Marvin after installing Marvin XD and IOS reader apps with 1.48. I followed the instructions for customizing the IOS plugin. I get the error message ImportError: No module named PYQt5.

I do get the send to device button for my Kindle now with 1.48. I was not getting that with any version of 2.X calibre regardless of any options of configuration on startup wizard with IOS and Marvin plugin not installed.

I'm guessing there is something wrong with the IOS reader app plugin? For now I can send to Kindle and manually drop books into my iphone 6s plus into Marvin from itunes.

You can just paste the entire thing here.

Make sure to enclose the pasted console output in the bbcode [CODE][/CODE] tag.
This is important

because otherwise it is a massive block of text that everyone must scroll past.
Also, formatting is awesome, unless it's just me...

This morning I tried Calibre 2.43 again after having to back up to 1.48. It didn't freeze, worked with Kindle Voyage. Still doesn't recognize the iphone 6s Plus and Marvin (latest version from app store with phone running iOS 9.1) Calbre does recognize my ipad mini first generation with Marvin 2.3 (when it was a free app for ipad only). So all works as it always did expect the new iphone and Marvin iphone app running IOS 9.1. I have no idea why it froze like it did the other night except when Calibre didn't recognize Marvin on the iPhone I tried the content server route and it may have hung up there. Backing up to 1.48 seemed to solve that, so I tried going back to 2.43, which worked fine.

the only thing I could pulll out of console this morning relative to Calibre and the iphone and Marvin was this message:

11/11/15 7:18:22.819 AM calibre[2060]: libpng warning: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited

I still wonder about the error message I had the other night, 'No module named PYQt5.'

At least the Kindle Voyage is my default reader and the iphone is when I'm stuck without it. I keep only the book I'm reading on Marvin and I can dig that out of the calibre library and drop and drag it into Marvin on Itunes.

looking through Console a bit more I found this. Seems like trying to connect mobile device but then quit.

You can give up on direct connections to Marvin right now.
iOS 9 continues the trend of iOS 8.3 in locking you out of the necessary app storage container that the calibre plugin communicates through.

You can, however, fix that if you are jailbroken and install House Arrest Fix.
