Well, today I started up the minecraft launcher. I noticed the news wasn't up and i saw that error. I thought nothing of it and logged in. It showed me a black screen and nothing else. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am running Windows 7 and have Norton 360 as an AV. If you need more information feel free to ask.
I have a similar problem but its noting with a black screen. i log in and will im loging in right before it starts main menu it loads up minecraft but stops when its done loading. and stays there forever and it will not load. my internet works but please help.
Seems to me you just had some connection problems. Try again later or reinstall the game.
Btw: Friendly advice, delete Norton and get something else, Norton sucks as AV, used it and my computer had like 15 viruses on it. Norton detected 100% nothing. Microsoft Security Essentials saw 12 of em. Malwarebytes Antimalware got them all.
is it strange that this has been going on for a day? and i took your advice, thx

I get stuck at step 9 because when i reinstall it it says Fatal Error: permission denied (4)
Be careful who blame for something. If this was a code level issue, no one would be able to play. If its a java level issue, it could be narrowed down to which versions had the bug. If it was an OS native issue, it would had been easy to identify. So all that leaves is software configurations. Sadly the people who least understand the OS are also the ones that run the most problematic Anti-viruses, have no idea how to control them, and simply lets everything do what it wants.
Sadly, most people don't run a clean enough setup, more then half of that only know technical terms they heard on the internet, but have no idea what they mean, and the remainder have never heard of a DLL until the error told them about it.
Now look at the error "Fatal error occured (4): Permission denied: connect". If this really was just a code level issue, it would have to be doing an abnormal operation within the JVM, and would be easily replicated in a given JRE. Since thats not the case, there is an external influence (somewhere between it and the network stack) that telling it the request won't be processed. The only programs known to operate in that level are the OS, software Firewalls, Anti-viruses, Malware, and in rare cases, stack replacements (I'm looking at you AOL).
EDIT: Something is blocking you from redownloading it, like Norton or firewall
Try downloading something else than norton for your AV, it sucks and it gets annoying pop-ups. Also, restart your computer and try editing the firewall and try to reinstall minecraft again. Restarting has always helped me.

Did you have the demo of Norton? It doesn't have many pop-ups for me.
Well, there is one drastic measure.
First of all go to your .minecraft folder
Go to the command prompt (Windows key + R) and type in appdata.
Go to roaming and .minecraft, now make a copy of your saves folder somewhere else.
Delete your .minecraft folder and restart minecraft from launcher you download from the site.
It will redownload everything. Once done, put back the saves folder in the .minecraft folder and it should work with your worlds intact.
DERP: can i please have this moved to support?
Did you remember to delete the META folder if you added a mod?
No Mods
