I can't log into Minecraft Launcher nor minecraft.net on my Mac [duplicate]

Solution 1:

There is a number of things you should rule out first:

  • Are you able to login through http://account.mojang.com/login?

  • Are you using the proper client from http://minecraft.net/download?

  • If you were able to login with your old computer; make sure your current one doesn't have any firewall blocking internal / external connections.

  • On the computer with the issue, do the following:

    : Go to this url, and substitute USER for your actual username and substitute PASS for your actual password.

    : It should output a Session ID (a bunch of numbers and letters), if not; and it returns Bad login or another exception; contact mojang.
