Tekkit on Mac not starting up - White Screen [closed]

Recently there was an update for mac (just a regular system update, i thought nothing of it) and immediately after the update, when i try and launch the Technic launcher and run tekkit, it lets me log in fine, but after that a white screen flashes up and the entire program crashes. No errors, no nothing, just flash of white and back to desktop.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?


Download the Linux/JAR File version of the technic launcher then open a terminal window and cut&paste the following:

cd Downloads
export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
java -jar technic-launcher-latest.jar

This will override the java version to use the older 1.6 one supplied by Apple instead of the newer 1.7 (broken) one supplied by Oracle.


The java7 update of mac was causing tekkit to black out, i needed to do a complete re-install to get the thing to work.
