Thread: Disk Utility won't open on MacBook Pro

Started 1 year ago by srobsrobusa
For some time now, Disk Utility simply won't open on my MacBook Pro. Actually, it opens and closes in less than a second. There is no error message. Everything else on my machine runs fine, other utilities like Cocktail etc. don't report errors. Very vexing. Any similar experiences or fixes?

Could it be corrupted? Open /users/yourusername/library/logs/crashreporter and see if that shows anything.

Apparently not, thanks for the suggestion though. Any other ideas?

Do I move that file to the trash or will I have to move it back eventually? Joe.
