In case anyone was wondering, on a Mac, the process is:
1. Open your home folder. (The folder with your name on it)
2. Open the Library folder inside the home folder. (NOT the Library folder in Macintosh HD, the one in your folder)
3. Open the Application Support folder
4. Open the "minecraft" folder inside Application Support

I followed all these instructions, but the minecraft.jar file is still not showing up. In my bin folder, I have a natives folder, jinput (executable jar file), lwjgl (EJF), lwjgl_util (EJF), md5s (file), minecraft (EJF), minecraft-1.5_01 (EJF), minecraft-1.8.1 (EJF) and version (file). I tried to creat a new minecraft.jar folder, but it claimed that it's already in existence. I'm trying to download a mod for minecraft to speed up my fps called OptiFine HD_G and the directions say that I have to locate my minecraft.jar folder, create a back-up of it, open minecraft.jar in an archive editor (no clue what that is?), delete the META-INF folder and then copy the .class files from the downloaded zip into the jar file, replacing previous files. Help???
