ok, what you want to do is right click minecraft.app then show package contents, then go to contents and info.plist and open it with text edit or your defualt property editor. then scroll down to find "-Xmx" and chnage the stuff after it to 2048M and chnage -Xms to 2048M.
Locate your minecraft.app, mine was in my apps folder
-Right click and select 'Show Package Contents'
-A new finder window has opened, now go into the /contents directory and locate the info.plist file
-Open it in textedit or any other text editing software
-scroll down to the line that says <string>-Xms512M -Xmx1024M</string>
-This is the default allocation, -Xms is the allocated amount to launch with, and -Xmx is the total RAM, change the values to ones that suit you
-Change 512M to 2048M and 1024M to 2048M

ah forgot to mention this... tried this aswell as creating a .sh script to run the jar with more ram (and manually running it through terminal) still runs out of memory, its really odd because im allocating 2/3s of my ram (4gig) and it somehow runs out of memory. im puzzled
