Title: My tekkit crashes within half a second of opening

Version: 3.1.2

OS: Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Java Version: Java SE 7

Description of Problem:

When i start my tekkit it immediately crashes and it quits my tekkit and my techniclauncher. I've reinstalled my whole techniclauncher and it still happens. Im wondering if it's something to do with the new Java system for mac. I've noticed that there isn't any Java Preferences any more. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try downloading Apple's Java 6 off their website. Macs don't really like Java 7 with LWJGL. See if that brings back the preferences.

Thanks i'll give it a try. Hopefully it will work otherwise it probably isn't a Java problem.

I don't think I can, unfortunately. Apple kind of screwed us all over with that.

Don't worry guys if your having the same problem i found a fix. Download the latest technic launcher. MAKE SURE IT IS THE .JAR FILE. Dowload Linux/Jar. then copy this and paste it into terminal and hit return worked for me:cd Downloads

export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

java -jar technic-launcher-latest.jar
