Upgrade StorageMy Zotero won't open on my new Macbook
I downloaded the Zotero software but every time I try to open Zotero, I get an error message. It says
---- The Zotero database cannot be opened. Make sure you have read and write permissions for all files in the Zotero data directory and that security software isn’t preventing Zotero from accessing that directory.----
I have no idea what to do about this message. Please help!

dstillmanThat really just means what it says — something, most likely file permissions, is preventing Zotero from reading or writing to its data directory. This could happen if you copied your Zotero files from another computer without using Migration Assistant. You'll need to fix the file permissions for that folder. We can't provide general OS guidance here, but you can do it from the bottom of the File → Get Info window for the folder in Finder.
