I had installed and launched Minecraft successfully one time. Mid-play my laptop battery died and shut down the computer. The next day I go to open up the game and the launcher does not respond. It does not open at all. I have tried all solutions: Checking for incompatible software (I have none from what is listed), tried alternate launchers, reinstalled the game and restarted the computer many times, used different browsers to download, and have tried finding any of the game files in /Application Support/minecraft but the folder and any other Minecraft folders don't exist so I'm not able to do anything with that. On a friend's computer they also don't have these folders and the game is running fine so that is not the issue. I know there are similar threads but they are for Windows and the solutions listed have not solved this issue for me and others.

I have looked at that thread @Greymagic27 and unfortunately none of the solutions listed, or other threads that have been linked, have provided any solution to this problem in particular. I find it particularly strange that none of the files that have been referenced to for a Mac are on my computer or on another Mac that is running the game fine.
Thank you for your report!
