Please fix the error and restart.

Please help!

It seems here that your internet is not letting you download the files you need to play minecraft.

this is how to fix your problem

1. Go to the http link in your launcher log.

2. The file should automatically download

3. Open a new finder window and go to the library folder

4. Go into the application support folder, then minecraft folder

5. Drag and drop or cooy and paste the file into the Monecraft folder.

hope this works.

Good luck

Try using a browser and see if you have an internet connection at all.
