Ashzification

Solution, based only on the information provided: Get back in your time machine, and ask your parents to show you how to use a PC. (Note, this fix is based on this prior knowledge: Java 8 is expected to release in September 2013)

See, now the problem with that is: no one ever used/uses the search function. Rather than looking for their problem and finding the answer they want, they create a new thread. This causes several problems. 1. When someone does use the search function, they only find a bunch of threads with a lot of posts saying "Me too". 2. When there is a solution, it gets lost within all of the "Me too"s. 3. This still isn't the correct place to be reporting about Lag and other issues.

There is always a log. As soon as the launcher is opened and the program starts, a log is created. Don't ask for help if you expect to receive it providing no useful information. Did you read this? http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/common-problems-and-solutions.10851/ Part of it says: But I see you say it still doesn't work when you turn it off. Norton doesn't like being turned off, and often there's a part of it that either doesn't turn off, or is a different security program under Norton. Update Failed! is almost always caused by your antivirus. Sometimes caused by a firewall. Infrequently caused by you having the wrong Java. Give me some credit here. Do you honestly think I would be coming back to these forums to troll? What is the point of that? You already called yourself a noob, so why should I? You don't know how to find out what Java you have, that's ok, most people don't if they've never looked. You provided your processor type as well as your OS when asked for your OS. A bit of an overachiever are we? You got your launcher version right, points for you. You're using an antivirus that doesn't turn off. You made a point to say that your updates fail in 2 of the modpacks. Good for you! You can see my confusion? You named specific modpacks, and never explicitly said "Minecraft never loaded up" or "The mojang screen never appeared". Easy mistake to make. Sorry to pull the string that unravels your universe. Do you feel special now that I read and commented on all of the information you provided? Have I met your failing cunt muffin troll standards? No name calling next time. That's rude.

Well, that's funny, you never said that. Or provided a log, which is the most important piece of information you can provide when asking for assistance.

Why be nice when I've got jerks like you to remind me I'm mean? To not be banned on these forums, you must use some level of effort. Telling people they missed something is not being unhelpful, it's telling them they missed something, and in this case, something rather important on these forums. Or would you prefer I hold everyone's hand and guide them step by step to the correct areas? Edit: Also, I don't care if I look like an ass in the end. I could have reported him for failing to post in the correct area. But I didn't, since that won't get him anywhere useful.

Not a launcher problem. Read the stickies. http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/bans-will-be-handed-out-for-posting-modpack-bugs-here-from-now-on.30664/

Not a launcher problem. You should read the stickies.

You're going to use a double post that was due to my internet/browser glitching out against me? Fine then, doesn't count. Constant acts of stupid.

Cute cat.

What didn't work was you didn't get Java 6 to be the Java being used.

You can find it here. It's in there somewhere.

Thanks for the assist I don't have a mac, so I do not know about these things

But, it's not an option. His launcher just won't work with Java 7, and that's Apple's fault.

You need to update your Java to update 9. I don't think that is the correct Launcher presently. Also, save your saves, and try a clean reinstall of your launcher. Nullpointers can usually be fixed by a good reinstall.

Incorrect. He SHOULD downgrade. Try is not an option. As Java 6 is required to run this on a Mac. Edit: in here somewhere is the link to the apple product you need. Sorry, not going to dig for it for you.

And none of that information is actually helpful. There are version numbers and logs for a reason. It's so we can track problems and know where to begin when helping people.
