### Actual behavior

Hey there, for some reason docker for mac keeps failing to start. I’ll do a full re-install, it’ll work for a little while, and then it stops working. When I run the diagnosis tool, I get this:

Docker for Mac: version: mac-v1.12.0-beta18-3-gec40b14  
OS X: version 10.11.5 (build: 15F34)  
logs: /tmp/20160713-110317.tar.gz  
failure: docker ps failed: Failure(“docker ps: timeout after 10.00s”)  
[ERROR] docker-cli  
docker ps failed  
[OK] app  
[OK] menubar  
[OK] virtualization

[OK] moby-console  
[OK] logs

Here is my diagnostic ID: EACBC1AE-A66A-4C8C-9ECD-F60871C2889F  
Any help solving this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks!
