I Downloaded The Latest Edition of Calibre And I Can't Get It Open (MacBook)
I don't know what happened. I downloaded the new version of Calibre but it can't open. Is anyone else facing this issue?

Did you check whatever the Mac version of the Task Manager is to make sure it isn't stuck running in the background? Calibre only lets you run one instance at a time.

Like I clicked on the icon, it briefly appears, and when it fails to open as per usual, it disappears from the Activity Monitor. |

Disable your AV and try again. If that causes Calibre to work, then you'll need to uninstall whatever AV you run.

This may not be your problem but when I updated my Mac VM to 10.15.7, for some reason, the Security and Privacy preference switched the Allow Apps downloaded from: to App Store from App Store and Identified Developers. Switching back to App Store and Identified Developers allowed me to run the updated calibre install after clicking on Open in the dialog that popped up.

@kovidgoyal (FYI)
I had a similar issues with a Macbook and an iMac MacOS 10.15.7 + Calibre 5.* I reverted to Calibre 4.23 and it fix the problem. The problem: Calibre not opening after update but opening later after 2 - 3 attempts. Once opened it reopened okay but failed to open when I clicked on an epub or awz file. It would start to open and then stop (close) |
