I'm totally technically inept and I'm trying to help my 10 year old with installing mods. Every time we download a new mod, we get the error: "Forge Mod Loader has found a problem with your minecraft installation: You have mod sources that are duplicate within your system. Mod Id: File name."
Could someone walk me through the steps necessary to get these mods to run, or direct me in the right direction? Again, I'm totally technically inept, so when I say "walk through" I mean totally walk through. I have Mac OS 10.9.1 (Mavericks).
Oh excellent! A fellow mac user, I'll work on helping you.
First of all, you've already downloaded forge, so youknow the minecraft files are located at ~/Library/application support/minecraft/ and by using the GO option in finder you can get there easily.
Once you've installed forge, run the forge version once, and let it open. When it opens completely and you come to the start page, make sure there is a mods button there, this is how you'll know that forge has installed correctly.
Now that you've done that, close minecraft and go back to the minecraft files in finder, and search it for an empty folder named Mods, and stick your mod in there.
Now you just run minecraft!
So you say you get an error that indicates there are duplicate mods, are you sure you don't have two of the same mod in the mods folder? Because this has happened to me before, and I found that I had two of the same mod in the mod folder.
I've installed Forge without any trouble, but it's when I go to install certain mods that I get that error message. Not all the mods I've installed have given me the message, but the vast majority have. I'm just not sure how to check for duplicates. I've opened up the mods file folder under Minecraft 1.6.4 but I can't find any duplicate files.
the files do not have the same name, but they are a different version of the same mod. For example, it says mo creatures 1 and mo creatures 2. they are the same mod, but different versions. delete the mo creatures 1 and it would be fixed. hope that helped you.

I'm back from my hibernation. Most likely gone so don't pm me.
I'm still at a loss on how to solve this. Here's an example: I just downloaded MoreExplosivesRelease3 and it's giving me the same error. How do I tell if there are duplicates, and how do I find and delete them? When I download the program, the entire folder downloads. Then I drag it into 1.6.4's folder. When I start Minecraft, I get the duplicates error.

Check your mod folder in the .minecraft folder. If you see two of the same file name MoreExplosiverRelease2 and MoreExplosiverRelease3, delete MoreExplosiverRelease2.
i have the same issue.
i downloaded trapcraft which has pretty cool mod traps like spikes... and stufff... so exicted to use it but i cant yet becauswe of the error.
at first i thought it was because two files had the same file name (i,e, trapcraft)
so i changed their names but it still rings up an error.
i checked the files inside and they are different files...no dups..
so what really is the problem here?
I don't think that there is a duplicated file in the mod folder...
there is something wrong with the.class folder...
I opened Console and found this:
2014-03-30 19:10:37 [SEVERE] [ForgeModLoader] Found a duplicate mod pixelmon at [/Users/macuser1/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods/1.6.4, /Users/macuser1/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods/1.6.4/pixelmonMod 3.0.2]
I understood that the mod is in the 1.6.4 folder and and in the pixelmon mod folder too...
but the pixelmon mod folder IS inside the 1.6.4...and that doesn't make any sense.
When I moved the Pixelmon.class to the desktop, It worked without showing the error...BUT, the mod was not loaded.
Same problem I am doing the sports mod and I put in PlayerAPI-1.7.10-1.1.jar and SportsModServer.jar and the mod it's self and same problem and I try a lot lot of things but it just crashes without the stuff.
I need help with the same problem. I downloaded Craftguide and it says that "uristqwerty" and "Craftguide 1.6.8.zip" are duplicate... i dont know what ot do... i checked all of my other folders but none of them have duplicates of any kind... Please help!1

So it has to do with the Pixelmon.class folder
Please Help!
