    Hello,
    Today I bought a new laptop and am wishing to transfer my MC client to my laptop. I am wondering:
    1. Is this possible and if yes how so?
    2. What will be transferred? (I.E.- Macro mod bindings and texture packs)
    Please tell me if this infringing on any server rules or if this is just flat out illegal. I am aiming to keep my permanent record clean thank you very much.

    EDIT: The current problem is outlined in reply #5 and it is still going on :/ would love some suggestions.
    Thanks for the help,
    ~sick24

    I would think:
    1. Copy .minecraft from old computer to a usb stick or something
    2. Start minecraft on laptop
    3. Replace .minecraft on laptop with .minecraft on stick
    4. Done
    I don't see how this would be against any server rules.

    TopicDogg Well it seems there are some growing pains with this new laptop. Maybe you know how to fix it.
    When I go onto minecraft.net and sign in and attempt to start the game in my browser (Safari) it crashes because it "Failed to Start Game."
    I even tried downloading it and it says "Minecraft is Damaged and cannot be opened."
    If it helps at all I am on Mac OS X and have downloaded the correct desktop version of MC. Any help is appreciated in advance

    Do you have Java installed?
    Also since I'm currently on my iPod I cant really look for anu suggestions except for the basic ones.
    If you continue to have problems I might be able to help tomorrow in the mean time just Google the errors you get and see what you find.

    Non really but if you were going from the pc to the mac you just need to install the new jar and start over unless your using a cloud service then it might work but, can you explain if it is a mac to a mac or a Mac to a pc?

    The only thing you can put over is mostlikley the world. Other than that probably not. You will need new mods and such for everything else.

    I dont think it will work. I tried got a new laptop a few weeks ago, and tried to transfer pc to pc and it didn't work. I ended up having to re-download Minecraft from the website and re-download all my mods and stuff. I know that's not what you want to hear :/
