iMac desktop app forever loading?

Hi!

I have been running the zotero app on my iMac (and previously on my macbook) for years without issue. The semester has started back up, and after summer break I have reopened the app to find that after a couple of seconds, the little rainbow wheel appears and I am unable to click on anything - eventually the app crashes completely. I have checked and there are no updates. Has anyone had this issue and successfully remedied it?

For reference: the computer is running on Ventura 13.7.8 (and cannot be updated further).

Thanks so much.

    Does it happen if you restart in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”)?

    If so, start by reinstall the app from the download page. Does it still happen?

    If so, see Reporting Startup Errors. We'd want either a Debug ID, a screenshot of the debug window, or a log from debug output in Terminal, depending on what you can get.
