Hey there Ryan! :3

I've also had similar issues. I would suggest you try a couple of times. Sometimes the mod servers are a bit "wonky". Try it again after restarting the launcher entirely.

i did about 10 times i retsarted the server i even updated my java and minecraft and all other shit its not working

Gotcha!

Firstly you don't have to restart the *server* to use the Launcher. The launcher is the client, not the server.

Secondly, I nearly tore my own mane off in frustration, having been unable to log in for the past two days. I don't know how on earth I got it working all of a sudden, but here is what I did:

1) Went to "%appdata%" (I use a 64-bit Windows 7 OS) and deleted the ".techniclauncher" folder

2) Deleted the "TechnicLauncher.exe" file and downloaded it again

3) Started up - Here I was 100% unable to do anything. It refused to connect to minecraft.net and all sorts of hell. I restarted it, selected VANILLA, logged in (and downloaded Vanilla). Vanilla starts right after. I closed it all

4) Started the launcher for the 3rd time. This time I was able to log in after selecting TEKKIT - It failed to download at first, stuck with "2 remaining attempts" but suddenly it worked again.

So yeah, now it's working for me. 100% (Except the new launcher is slow as a pile of horse-poopoo. Takes ages for anything to happen and updates always fail. Always. I would HIGHLY recommend you do NOT delete the launcher if you have the old one. It's better!)

EDIT: It should be enough to just delete the .tekkitlauncher folder (%appdata%) and re-download vanilla first, then tekkit. I had a bit of trouble, but eventually it just worked. I think it could be server-side (not YOUR server, the minecraft.net/technic servers) but we'll just wait and see...

i did that didnt work

Ick. Well then i'm at a loss. It did help me at least.

If this issue is serverside then the awesome technicguys will have it sorted out asap. :3 Guess the best thing is to wait it out then? Stalk the forums, the right thread might pop up (or exists already, give it a look-through).

A few things:

1) The OP needs to post a launcher log. It's not a part of the bug report for nothing, and helps immensely with troubleshooting.

2) The new launcher is not what's being unstable right now. It's minecraft.net - give it a few days to a week, and they'll hopefully have it up to snuff again.

3) The launcher isn't at version 3 yet, so I'm going to assume you're on Tekkit 3. Samsung laptop isn't an operating system. And you didn't post an antivirus, a few of which will cause the problems you're describing. Get to it!
