Tagging jakeyray18 here since he is quite good with Minecratf problems. When I try to download it here is the problem, it says "Minecraft is damaged and needs to be deleted." Also, it "fails to start game" in browser so that wont work either, any suggestions?

 

Yes, every time I try to un-zip the minecraft.zip and open it says "Minecraft is damaged and is suggested that you move it to trash" and I do then attempt to re-download it and it does it again :(

And just to make sure since I'm kinda new, placing it in the /Applications folder means opening finder and crap-and-drop it onto the Applications on the side bar correct?

 

Can you just confirm how to find the "application support folder" I understand everything else

 

Well I successfully navigated to the correct folder and everything looks intact. I tried dropping a fresh download of Minecraft into the "application support" folder and it still says it is damaged. I am beginnig to wonder if it some problem with Mojang's coding or if it is not even updated to 1.5.2. I also noticed (on my old comp) that under the 1.5.1 news it said something notable about Crash on Mac OS X OpenGL and that is what is happening, I think. Just wondering if it something on Mojang's end or not. Thanks for the help Jakey!

 

Nope, I am simply trying to download Minecraft from the website, I can try again to move my .minecraft from PC-Mac

 

I have since tried this and it no longer crashes but it refuses to run (in the browser), idk why. Ill try more tonight and report back if it works. It still is "Damaged" after I try to download it.

 

jakeyray18 I have figured it out! Thanks for the help.
