So yesterday I decided to stop compiling my own heap of mods and try to use the Technic and FTB launchers to download some of their mod packs. For whatever reason, I found out I had to mess with java to get them to work. So I did, and eventually they both worked fine. When I tried to open the vanilla launcher this morning, however, it did nothing. Absolutely nothing. When I checked the console, every time I would try to open Minecraft, it would give me the same error message. If anyone can help me, thank you in advance.
Important info:
OS: Mac OSX 10.9.3
Specs: 2009 MBP
Java: Well, I dunno, because like I said, I was dumb enough to go screwing with it.
Error msg I always get in the console: 6/11/14 12:17:04.917 PM Dock[304]: JLRequestRuntimeInstall: CFMessagePortSendRequest: error -1

I don't know how to find out the Java you have on a Mac, but it should say something like 7u60, or Java 7 Update 60 (which is the latest version).
Have you tried downloading the launcher again? Perhaps even backup your saves and delete/recreate the entire minecraft folder?
Yeah, I tried that. Normally, if I uninstall java, when I open the launcher it'll say something like, "you need java, would you like to install it now? Y/N" but now it doesn't even say that.

So then reinstall it from Java.com and redownload the launcher, because if the launcher still gives problems, either something's wrong with it or this caused some other huge problem with your computer. Have you had any other problems?

Nope, no other problems. This all started when I messed with Java yesterday, and it's only for Minecraft.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple, at least not on Mac. There are different paths for Java 6 and 7, some things need 6, others need 7, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Anyway, I'm trying to restore via time machine. I'll keep you both updated, and thanks!
EDIT: I dunno what I did, or what I just did to fix it, but thank God for Time Machine. It works fine. Thank you both!
