Okay. This has never happened before. I play Minecraft on a Mac OSX v. 10.6.8. with 2 gigabytes of RAM, and a 2.66 GHz (gigahertz) Intel core 2 duo as my processor. I booted Minecraft as usual, but instead of Minecraft's home page, I got this:---- Minecraft Crash Report ----

I have never gotten crash reports like this before. My Minecraft is an unmodified client running version 1.7.4. Maybe this was premonition, but when I started my computer, it showed a white screen with Apple's logo, and a load bar, like one the fills up as something downloads, or updates, or processes. I have no idea what the issue is. I don't know enough about crash reports and Minecraft code to fix it myself. So, to any one reading this, please help!

It is not possible to update drivers on Mac, all of that is taken care of by Software Update.

Hi,

I don't think that's possible. My iMac was made in late 2008. I'll try, though.
