BACKGROUND:
I bought an earlier version of Mine Craft on April 23 of this year.
I think it was version 1.5.2.
My child's been using it off-line only. No mods. Very happy with it.
Two days ago, I tried to upgrade to version 1.6.2.
THE NEW LAUNCHER (1.1.2)
1. I downloaded new launcher first.
2. When I dragged the Mine Craft icon onto the Applications folder icon (in the Disk Image window), it asked me if I wanted to replace the current copy. I said yes.
3. It warned me that it cannot do so.
4. Assuming the old version was to blame, I manually deleted the old Mine Craft file in my Applications folder, and then dragged the new one in from the disk image window. It seemed to have worked.
5. I double clicked on the icon and the new Launcher 1.1.2 opened (after showing some command-line code for a while first).
8. But where it should say "Play", it says "Play Demo" instead.
*VERSION 1.6.2
*
1. Went to — Minecraft.net and clicked: — "Already bought the game? Download it here."
2. It took me to the download page, where I clicked on: — "Minecraft.dmg"
3. But no matter how many times I tried, it keeps downloading the demo only, not the actual game.
What more can I do get MinceCraft 1.6.2 working on my machine?

Thanks for your response. I have, in fact logged into the launcher: it said "Welcome DanBorn11" in the bottom right hand corner. DanBorn111 being the correct username.
However, there's some evidence to suggest that my previous purchase never "went through", but that I got the full version 1.5.2 anyway. So I resolved this issue by just purchasing again. This time, everything seems to have gone right, and everything works fine now.
Since future updates will be automatic, this problem should not occur again.
You need to login into the launcher to be able to play the game properly.
