Crash on Startup on Mac [Error Report Included]

[thesquiggolo 0]

So I tried installing TFC and it kept crashing to desktop whenever I ran it through Forge on the Minecraft launcher. I figured I just needed a fresh install of Minecraft itself so I reinstalled Minecraft, then followed the instructions on the wiki to the letter on installing Forge and TFC and it still crashed. I even deleted the config files multiple times. 

 

What happens is I choose the Forge profile, launch it, it starts up, shows the Mojang logo, and then crashes saying it found a problem and asking if I want to publish the crash. I'm not trying to use any other mods with TFC at all, so it's by itself in my mods folder and there shouldn't be any conflicts with anything, yet it still isn't working. 

 

Here's the full crash report as it was given to me:

Please help, I want to play this because it looks really cool, but the crashing is preventing me from doing so.

It appears you have installed everything correctly, version-wise. My only suggestion would be to make sure that you have the latest version of Java installed.

I checked the Java Updater and I'm on Java 7 update 25, which is the recommended version, so I have no clue what else to do.

Did you unpack the zip into the mods folder or did you just drag and drop the downloaded file? That's really the only cause of that error I can find. Also, try downgrading your Java to 6 or somesuch version. I've heard the latest version causes problems on Macs.

Here's a post I found: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/88110/make-minecraft-or-java-preferences-app-run-on-java-7

I just dragged the .zip file into the mods folder. I'll try unpacking it in the mods folder instead, then downgrading my java if that doesn't work and come back to let you know. Thanks.
