Another 'PT won't start'...

[AsaSK]

Yeah, apologies for another one of these. I bought a MacBook Pro as PT wasn't working properly on my Win10 laptop, but I've hit the (not unheard of) problem of 'icon bounces and does nothing'. I've searched the other threads and tried the suggestions but no joy.

Below is the Console output for the error:

Sorry about the superfluous stuff, I wasn't sure how much of it related to the issue. I thought I was within minimum system reqs for PT, but maybe not??

Many thanks.
