Fixes I've tried: Nuking my .techniclauncher folder, redownloading the launcher.

I'm really not sure what is going on... I am running a server, and can't admin if this isn't fixed. Please help, or I might not have to shut down my server!

BUMP! you are the only person I have found in weeks of searching who has the same problem as me! Please keep me informed if you find a fix!

[epicnicodemus]

Yea, I just fixed it apparently... Go into your Java Preferences (the app "Java Preferences") and drag Java SDK 7 to the bottom of the list. It should work fine then.

[Jay?]

I'm dekellering you for posting what fixes you've tried, and then fguring out your problem on your own.

Congratulations on being an adult.

I've tried every single order of java versions in 64 bit and 32 bit mode and nothing has worked. The only way i've even been able to get the launcher to open is with Java 7 at the top of the list but then as soon as i load up a mode it just white screens for half a second then closes its self. so desperate now... I miss technic so much, once you go technic, vanilla just isn't the same...

[epicnicodemus]

Can you post a screenshot of your Java Preferences window?

[Joma1995]

Seriously, i've tried every single order multiple times the only configuration which even brings up the launcher is

1: Java 7 64bit

2: Java 6 64bit

3. Java 6 32bit

and even after getting the launcher up, none of the mod packs will work, they just whitescreen while installing

[Jay?]

Delete ALL java installations besides the most recent one that corresponds to your computer, then we can work from there. Also, you have to post your own report format as well.

[Joma1995]

my computer can switch between 64bit and 32bit the only one that can be deleted is Java 7 and that's the only one that makes the launcher even load

[Jay?]

What? i don't think you understand computers. Your operating system is either 32 or 64 bit. a 64 bit operating system due to the x86 architecture, btu it isn't optimal, and most like wont function properly.

you most certainly CAN delete the other javas, and if you can't, then there probably isnt much we can do to help you, because yo udon't have permissions on your own machine.

[epicnicodemus]

Jay? is right - you should be able to delete the Javas. You're a Mac, right? Check in system preferences and make sure you're an admin. Then try deleting them again.

[Joma1995]

It's a macbook pro, you can boot it in either 32 or 64 bit modes, I'm the only user of the computer im definitely an admin, you can't delete the two instances of java 6 as they are an internal part of the OS, java 7 can be deleted but that's the only version that makes the launcher work, now when i try to play/install a modpack it just says "update failed" straight away

[epicnicodemus]

Try manually installing an update. Go to the options button on the launcher login screen, choose manual build, and then choose the most recent one. Then log in as normal.

[Joma1995]

No success on any of the builds, The problem only started when the launchers name in the dock changed from org.spoutcraft.launcher.Main to just Main

[epicnicodemus]

Same with me. If you want help, you need to post a screenshot of your Java Prefs so I can tell you the right order based on what you have.

[Joma1995]

Trust me man, i've tried every single order. the order I have now (see above) is the ONLY working one!

[Joma1995]

Java 7 must stay at the top and moving the other two makes no difference

Nope... now the launcher fails to even open, a little cog appears in my taskbar saying Technic Launcher Workflow Running... and nothing happens, If I use the CPU activity monitor I can see that a java process has initialised and is reportedly using 100% of my CPU.

My java isn't entitled Java SDK 7 but Java SE 7, could this be the cause?

[Jay?]

can you uncheck those two java 6's?

EDIT: try getting Wine or bootcamp and running technic in a windows emulation.

[Joma1995]

Unchecking the two java 6's makes no difference, the launcher still opens then crashes during install on all technic builds. I'll give it a go with wine

[epicnicodemus]

Uncheck SE7 and move it to the bottom.

Just random ideas... Looks like you tried everything already.

[epicnicodemus]

Are you running the launcher through the .jar, or the .app?

[Jay?]

It'll probably be slow with wine. If it's too slow to play with wine, you might look into dual booting.

[Joma1995]

I've tried every combination of Javas in terms of checking and un-checking and the order they are in, none of them work. Wineskin also doesn't work for some reason... I miss technic so much :(

[Jay?]

so try bootcamp? if not, you may need to dual boot. (dual booting will be good for you in the long run anyways)
