Answer 1

As discussed in the comments, the problem is that the GPU version of TensorFlow for Mac OS X was installed on a Mac without CUDA installed. Uninstalling and reinstalling the CPU version of TensorFlow should fix the problem.

(Note that the GPU version of TensorFlow for Mac OS X is no longer officially supported.)
