Howdy,

Open the folder that contains the TeX Live Utility (TLU) application. Ctl-Click (or Right-Click) the application icon and choose the Open item in the Contextual Menu. The message you now get has an option to Open the application. After choosing that option TLU will open and then open normally from then on.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
