2011 Macbook Pro will only start in Safe Mode. Disk Utility says disk is corrupted but offers no advice. What to do now?
My Macbook Pro (2011, OSX 10.11.6) will now only start in Safe Mode. This just started a short while ago for no apparent reason. Disk Utility suggested that the disk is "corrupted" but offered no advice as to repairing this. I discovered the Combo Updates and tried running the OSX 10.11.6 Combo Update but it stopped short, telling me that it couldn't be install on the disk, that the disk does not meet the requirements. I cannot find a clear list of requirements. My hard drive has about 20 GB free on it. Does anyone know where I can turn next? Thanks for any suggestions!
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
