I am so sorry if this isn't the right place to be asking this. if someone can tell me where to go for help with this, I'll go away quietly, and ask there. My daughters have been playing with a mod called Diamond Dimensions and suddenly, today, it works on one computer, but not the other. It has worked for weeks until just this evening. I tried a bunch of different things suggested in various places here. Other mods seem to work fine and the other daughter is playing it on the other computer as I type this. we have Macs running Mavericks (10.9.1), and I opened and copied the crash report info. But if this isn't the place to ask for help on this, I don't want to post it and get my butt in trouble. I need too much help with this stuff, I can't afford to get in trouble. ;)

Unfortunately, I can't upgrade the macbook Pro yet. I still have somethings I need to be able to access for work that are not mavericks compatible. So I need at least one computer that is still on 10.8 until that gets remedied. Currently SOME mods are working through tekkit. Neither OS seems to like Tekkit much because most mods are NOT working. So I think tekkit is not the answer for us, even when I AM able to upgrade the laptop to Mavericks. makes me wonder why there even IS a mac download for it. I'm Computer Seciency enough that I understand how things work.I've tried to install the mods manually. I believe I have everything in the correct Library folders, but the game doesn't recognize them. If anyone could help me get that ironed out it would be a good solution for us too.

Thank you for the help. The memory in the Launcher options says 1GB

JUST installed java last night. So I assume that it's the latest version. It IS working on the computer running Mavericks. NOT working on the one running Mountain Lion.

16GB RAM 512MB VRAM Regular Minecraft works fine.

It's completely updated for the system currently installed.

You know.... When the email came in that someone had responded to this, my kids... My NINE YEAR OLD kids. were SO EXCITED that someone might be able to help us figure this out. Instead they got a steaming serving of "the internet is full of !@#$ers" Thank you so very much for that HELPFUL introduction to how to get along with people on the internet. Merry Christmas to you too, Tony.

Well, thanks for the "great" first experience with this forum. My kids thank you for your help too. :/

Being able to use Mods with Minecraft was one of the only things my kids REALLY wanted for Christmas. So I could really use some help. So far we've gotten the Tekkit Launcher to work on a Mac Mini running Maverick, and one child is happily playing with something called "Diamond Dimension." but for the other child, who we're trying to get up and running on the MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5, after the mod extracts, it jumps to a window that looks like a patchwork of jumbled graphics. Is there any way to get past this? Unfortunately, I can't upgrade the MacBook Pro to Mavericks yet. There are still some things I need to do for work that aren't compatible with Mavericks. so if there is a workaround for this glitch on 10.8.5 PLEASE help me figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated and would make a couple of 9 year old twins very very happy THANKS!!! This is what we saw the first time. It went through the whole Download status bar, the when we clicked "PLAY" it said that it needed to do some stuff before it could work, and then gave us a Window that looked like this. So we shut it all down, rebooted it all, redownloaded the Mod, and The second try yielded this:
