"A copy of Zotero is already open. Only one copy of Zotero can be open at a time."
I get this error message when I try to open Zotero after it crushes and I forced quit.
Obviously there is no other Zotero open as far as I can see.
I use Chrome plug in. Zotero crushes when I want to grab more than one thing at the same time, usually two.
I had to restart many times by holding the power button because the mac cannot shut down after this crushes.. I reinstalled Zotero. I turned the autosync off. My files are directed to the Dropbox file. I turned Dropbox syncing too when I grap things. The problem continues.
This is a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 with 8GB memory.
I'd appreciate any help.

When you say Zotero crashes, what do you mean exactly? Is it freezing (i.e. not responding) or does it actually crash/closes and produces some error message? What does the error message say? If it's the former, then does Zotero unfreeze after some time? (give it 10 minutes) Grab from where? a webpage? What URL are you testing this on?
Also, I moved files from Dropbox..
Thanks for the quick reply.
And sorry for the misspelling.
