For starters I realize that this is for vanilla only but my problem started while trying to mod but i deleted the mod files and now it is vanilla again.
So like i said i was trying to install forge into the 1.7.2 version in the versions folder. When I created a new profile for that version I clicked play and the blue bar flashed very quickly. The game itself did not open. So i tried my other profiles that were not using the modded 1.7.2 version but that did not work, the same thing happened. I deleted all of the mod files and tried with vanilla, same thing again. I deleted minecraft and java multiple times, again nothing. Force updates did not work either nor did restarting my computer. when looking at the console it kept saying the same thing every time i hit play:

I do not understand what any of this means so I have no idea how to address the issue.
I am running on an iMac 2011 model with OSX 10.9.1
Please any ideas are welcome, I really would like to get back to enjoying the game!sorry about the very large post the code was much shorter when i copied
It can't find the directory or file. That's the problem, but as for a fix, not a clue.

Thanks anyway I'm just glad that someone responded. Mojang is backed up till january 5th in terms of their email. I do hope that sometime in the future Mojang improves its support.
There's only two files / directories that it is talking about
Cannot run program "/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java" (in directory "/Users/tomward343/Library/Application Support/minecraft"): error=2, No such file or directory
Either there's a permissions problem and minecraft can't create this directory: "/Users/tomward343/Library/Application Support/minecraft"
or your computer doesn't have Java installed here: "/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java"
Ok, I will reinstall java again. Any idea how I would solve a permissions problem. I don't know if this is relevant but I noticed in the versions folder there is only 1.7.4
Ok I just reinstalled the latest version of Java. Should I have installed an earlier version? Because it did not work, same message. I am going to reinstall minecraft again!
The path that was missing was for Java 6. Is that directory still missing?
If you have a different java then you'd have to change the path that gets used. Unfortunately I don' t know how to do that on a Mac. I don't think you can do it via the profile, or can you?
I have the latest version of java. Would the best course of action be to download java 6? I have been constantly reinstalling the latest version of java. Should I uninstall Java and reinstall java 6? On Mac there is a console that is instead called terminal, that is the program that runs the commands for my server. I had to write a start.command text for it first but that was simple. I assume minecraft uses something similar however I do not know how to access that file for minecraft. I will uninstall java and then install java 6 and see if that helps.
This is the problem with a company relying on forums. If I pay money for a video game and invest time in it I should have to rely on the company that produced the game. I know that people are able to come up with good ideas and solutions but relying on other consumers for help with a product that a professional company with huge sales is dumb. There should be many more support options, instead its always just go to the forums. Why, when it comes to support the forums are of no F***ing help. It takes too long for people to actually respond to anything and usually a problem that could probably be fixed by an expert in ten minutes is fixed in a few weeks. Then I get an email from mojang saying "Sorry, but this email is for financial transactions only. If you want tech support go to the forums". F**k that, why would I do that? Mojang sells hundreds of thousands of copies of this game a day, how about put some money toward's support that does not suck!

Now, that's no way to be. Mojang is a med-small company, and are currently backed up into January with other problems. We, the Minecraft Forums, are acting as an impromptu support entity, so we are trying our best to help.
There are plenty of good, experts in troubleshooting on the forums,(To name a few, Cestislife, Extreme_Heat, and others) and there's no need to rage at us, simply because the people that have responded so far are unable to help. Being angry and disrespectful isn't likely to get you help.
Perhaps in the future Mojang will have a better hold on it's support, but for now you just have to trust in MF.
-- As for helping you, reinstalling java repeatedly more than once won't help, or change anything. What's probably the issue is something very under-the-hood, so there's probably not a simple fix, unless I'm wrong. Your best bet is to wait for someone who knows a fix, or just PM someone with the 'Support Guru' member title. (i.e the usernames above).
Sorry I/we can't help much more.

I apologize, it was nothing personal, usually I just do not like to rage. Its just frustrating how one day it works perfectly and the next it just flat out stops. My rage was the result of going to java and paying money to contact support and then apple who said uninstall/reinstall java/minecraft. I am just used to a more direct line to a company. Sorry if I hurt any feelings, guess I just had to let something out. Next time I will just punch a wall or something .
The problem is that you aren't asking for minecraft support. You are asking for Apple support. Apple controls java on its platform. You can't go to Oracle and get Java for an Apple. You have to go to Apple for Java for an Apple.
you didn't answer any of the questions that I asked you.
Then you said you would try java6 and you didn't say how that went.
reinstalling the same thing over and over is pointless.

First of all, apple told me to uninstall and reinstall java and minecraft. They told me to go about doing this twice in two different ways. They did not work. Java 6 was giving difficulties and I found out that minecraft on a mac does not need it anyway. I sent you a message regarding the path, I guess you did not get it? The path does not exist but I do not know how to edit it so that it does, even if I knew the right path I would still not be able to edit it.
This path was incorrect"/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java" I do not know what you mean by profile, everything on a mac is accessed via finder. The paths that were created can be found by going through finder. That is how I found that the above one does not exist. I will try apple's java platform now.
Apple's worked! Thanks a bunch! Gerbil, my rant above was just me being too emotional. I was just very fed up. I really am sorry. It was not geared toward you it was more toward mojang. No hard feelings?
This is the exact same thing that happened to me. If you can please tell the steps that you took to make it work it will be greatly appreciated, because I have not been able to play mine craft in i while and I'm really missing it
So like i said i was trying to install forge into the 1.7.2 version in the versions folder. When I created a new profile for that version I clicked play and the blue bar flashed very quickly. The game itself did not open. So i tried my other profiles that were not using the modded 1.7.2 version but that did not work, the same thing happened. I deleted all of the mod files and tried with vanilla, same thing again. I deleted minecraft and java multiple times, again nothing. Force updates did not work either nor did restarting my computer. when looking at the console it kept saying the same thing every time i hit play:

I do not understand what any of this means so I have no idea how to address the issue.
I am running on an iMac 2011 model with OSX 10.9.1
Please any ideas are welcome, I really would like to get back to enjoying the game!sorry about the very large post the code was much shorter when i copied
"Caused by: java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory"
I do redstone, pvp, light map making, enjoy sweet tea, and I'm a Leo.

Thanks anyway I'm just glad that someone responded. Mojang is backed up till january 5th in terms of their email. I do hope that sometime in the future Mojang improves its support.
Either there's a permissions problem and minecraft can't create this directory: "/Users/tomward343/Library/Application Support/minecraft"
or your computer doesn't have Java installed here: "/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java"
If you have a different java then you'd have to change the path that gets used. Unfortunately I don' t know how to do that on a Mac. I don't think you can do it via the profile, or can you?
Now, that's no way to be. Mojang is a med-small company, and are currently backed up into January with other problems. We, the Minecraft Forums, are acting as an impromptu support entity, so we are trying our best to help.
There are plenty of good, experts in troubleshooting on the forums,(To name a few, Cestislife, Extreme_Heat, and others) and there's no need to rage at us, simply because the people that have responded so far are unable to help. Being angry and disrespectful isn't likely to get you help.
Perhaps in the future Mojang will have a better hold on it's support, but for now you just have to trust in MF.
-- As for helping you, reinstalling java repeatedly more than once won't help, or change anything. What's probably the issue is something very under-the-hood, so there's probably not a simple fix, unless I'm wrong. Your best bet is to wait for someone who knows a fix, or just PM someone with the 'Support Guru' member title. (i.e the usernames above).
Sorry I/we can't help much more.

I apologize, it was nothing personal, usually I just do not like to rage. Its just frustrating how one day it works perfectly and the next it just flat out stops. My rage was the result of going to java and paying money to contact support and then apple who said uninstall/reinstall java/minecraft. I am just used to a more direct line to a company. Sorry if I hurt any feelings, guess I just had to let something out. Next time I will just punch a wall or something
you didn't answer any of the questions that I asked you.
Then you said you would try java6 and you didn't say how that went.
reinstalling the same thing over and over is pointless.
First of all, apple told me to uninstall and reinstall java and minecraft. They told me to go about doing this twice in two different ways. They did not work. Java 6 was giving difficulties and I found out that minecraft on a mac does not need it anyway. I sent you a message regarding the path, I guess you did not get it? The path does not exist but I do not know how to edit it so that it does, even if I knew the right path I would still not be able to edit it.
This path was incorrect"/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java" I do not know what you mean by profile, everything on a mac is accessed via finder. The paths that were created can be found by going through finder. That is how I found that the above one does not exist. I will try apple's java platform now.
