Minecraft Forums

I have a MacBook Pro and am running Mountain Lion. It's fairly new, so I still have a lot of free space on it. I got Minecraft the second day I had it, and I logged in through the launcher smoothly. I played for a while, then logged off. Three days later, I've been trying to log back on, but all it gives me is that it "can't connect to minecraft.net." I've visited the website, minecraft.net, and it loads perfectly. I've visited Mojang's website, and it says that the minecraft.net server is running smoothly. I don't understand what's wrong. I have no firewalls on my computer, and have perfect internet connection. I tried it on my desktop, and it connects fine. Help?

double and triple you are filling in your password etc correctly trust me i've typed it 'correctly' loads of times wondering what was wrong until i twigged

im having the same problem, but only as of 2:40 PM EST

same just started today for mehttp://help.mojang.com/ it seems that they aren't able to "log us in" ... but it should be back up soon.

Happening to me too, argh

Normally when it cannot connect to minecraft.net, its bcuz of lack of internet connection and the MC launcher will appear grey w/o the whole MC update info. This time, it showed the update info, but i could not connect.
EDIT:
Going to minecraft.net, it says

Did you add some mods or mess with some of the minecraft files?

i have the same problem right now,5:15pm on Argentina, i'm really scareed because at first it was that my minecraft had a problem but i insalled it back and happened the same so idk what to do without it xD

i'm having the same issue today as well. when i play offline on my server i keep loading up at spawn as a new character. anyone else getting this?

now i could enter back, all try

still not back on for me :L

Currently 2:30pm Central time, and I haven't been able to log on for about an hour or so... Wondering if anyone has heard anything from Mojang as to why or not.

If this isn't fixed soon I'm going to poop someones pants.

No, it's completely vanilla.

Yay! Everything's working! (Including connecting to servers!)

Okay guys, it's been a while, but I finally figured it out.

Minecraft won't connect to minecraft.net unless it is in the downloads folder or the Applications folder. I had it in a folder named "Games" on my desktop, but that doesn't work for some reason.

Build on and don't grief!
