Ok, well that fixed it though i did not update to mac version 1.8.3 and i am doing that now, hope it won't destroy it.

Edit, tested with 1.8.3 and it worked, i don't know what the problem was but reinstalling from scratch worked, not the most efficient way though

i'm going to re install mac from scratch and see if that fixes it, hope it will.

yeah, exactly the same thing for me but after i left it for a while it showed a crash report so could you try to get one too?

you have the same error?

no, i do not have the java folder.

no i do not have the JavaVM.framework there from what i can see. I also know that there are at least 4 "Libraries" on a mac so maybe my settings are to a different Library though that wouldn't make sense.

Edit: ok never mind i found it in the other Library i thought that system as in the hard drive but i found it. everything is there though i noticed that when i double click 1.6.0 in the versions folder it says it can't find original so maybe that.

thank you and yes i have tried but i will try again. And again i will say it is not possible to downgrade at least for me and i have done a lot of research and unless somebody could possibly make a download of java 1.6 for mac i don't think its possible anymore. Plus it was turned off because of security issues so not very safe to do so though i am prepared to do it. Thank you and can't wait till 1.6 😃

yeah but nobody seems to care about that version even though there are 21 duplicates of it

21 duplicates of this bug and nobody seems to care anymore. One comment from Grum that doesn't work and thats it.

When i updated to Mac version 10.8.3 only minecraft 1.5 did not work but previous versions worked. Then i started messing around and i made a clean java 7 install and now i cannot revert at all. I tried what apple said and i could not find any java 1.6 downloads that would work. Its starting to be really annoying cause i have this bug for so long and i don't think anybody is trying to fix it since nobody changed this issue from resolved. I love minecraft but this is forcing me not to play it. Could you possibly make a dropbox of your java 6 so that i can install it cause then at least i can play the older versions.

Eike: not only the demo, any minecraft as far as i know.

I have also found out that apple is starting to transfer the control over java for macs back to oracle so it is possible that java 6 will stop being developed so this problem will either have to be resolved by oracle or Mojang but i don't know which ones fault it is, or maybe both.

my problem is that i upgraded to java seven earlier and now after the update i cannot revert back the way that apple said in the past with a post on their website because it just doesn't work. When i tried to get the new minecraft 1.5 it just crashes, i didn't update my java 7 before that so it has to be something with the update. Now i've messed around with getting new versions of java and now no minecraft whatsoever works on my laptop so i am a bit annoyed that apple did not give information on this whatsoever. edit: and David does your MC work?

Since apple has disabled the ability to use java 6 i don't believe that this is an invalid problem

I wrote that in the newest Mac update it is not possible to use java six at least from what research i did but thank you very much for the patch. So i should use a nightly patch? If so which one?

yes but does the search tool search screenshots and what is in the description and comments?

The newest apple update has disabled java 6 completely i believe so i am forced to use Java 7. But then i get the exact crash log. I asked on a diff. thread about it and a Mod told me its a problem with java 7 for me to downgrade but i cannot. I have played mine craft on Java 7 before the 1.5 update so it has to be something that was changed in the update though it doesn't make sense that it worked for me but not for you.

thank you, but i tried to revert to Java 6 and i followed what apple said to do but it did not work, does anybody know how to do this? Well i have done some research around and i found out that Apple has disabled java 6 entirely in the newest update and it is no longer possible to revert. So should i start a new "bug" for this case so that mac users are gonna be able to play minecraft?

I have the same place where the crash is but the error log is different. i am on a mac and without mods on the newest snapshot. I attached the error log

Yes i'm hundred percent bout that and unfortunately i don't have an answer for this.
