A Minecraft Account
Princesex Voskamp
I'm trying to setup Minecraft for my daughters on their own OS X accounts of our new computer. At this point I'm using normal un-restricted accounts while I troubleshoot. Whatever account I "install" minecraft on it will work. But if I switch users and launch it then I get the error "Minecraft updater - Unable to start Minecraft, if you are running from a dmg, please drag to Applications and try again."
I am not running the DMG. I've installed it via drag and drop to the apps folder and then deleted the dmg etc. So it works on the users account that I install it but that error pops up on any other accounts that I try to open minecraft with later.
The fix I found was to look at the permissions of the Application. /Applications/Minecraft.app I noticed that they were Owner: R+W,Admin: RO, Everyone: RO. I initially changed this at the app level by doing a "Get Info" and changing them to all being R+W. This did not fix it. I then navigated to the app file and right-clicked and selected "Show Package Contents". Then selected the "Contents" Folder and right-clicked and selecting "Get Info". At this info page I unlocked(bottom right corner) and changed both admin and everyone to R+W. then I selected the gear (bottom middle) and selected "Apply to enclosed Items...". At the prompt click "OK". then the app opens in the other accounts.
The root application should be installed in the Applications folder. If it's parked somewhere in a users folder that's likely the issue for trying to run under multiple accounts. If it is already in the applications folder it's possible the game is linked to the account you used when the purchase was made, but I don't know for sure. I do think you're going to get better traction on the Minecraft forum for this questions. - as far as OS X is concerned it's as you said "This *should* work." - but this assumes it should work the way you want and not the way the developers intended.
Ok, first off I installed it in the admin account originally and on my latest try. As far as "root". It's in the root applications folder but the "application support" folder for minecraft is in my admin user profile and not the root from what I can tell. When I get home maybe I'll try to move that folder and see if it helps. Though I'm not sure if that will confuse the app since it's likely looking in that specific location it was installed.
No, it's not. It was actually purchased on a different computer at my parents. It installed and worked on this computer ok but just for whatever account it's installed to directly. I can overwrite the install from another users profile on the system and then it works from that profile only.
The developers intend for this to work as far as I can tell. It just doesn't. I believe there must be a bug in their software or something. That link even proves this by mentioning how to set things up with multiple users and block each other from using each-others worlds etc.:)
I'm 70% sure it didn't auto generate those files for the new user accounts on our brand new system though. So that could be the problem. Maybe I can duplicate those files from the user account that works and paste them for one of the new users. Worth a shot...
John, as of today, I have the exact same issue as you experienced. Although I did have Minecraft working on multiple user accounts on a MacBook Pro running 10.10.5 *before* updating to the new Mac launcher for Minecraft. After I updated to the new Minecraft launcher this morning, I started having this issue. I agree with your hunch that this is likely a bug in the new Minecraft launcher for Mac. Possible solutions:
ESTABA Intentando descargar el Minecraft premium al que hace? UNOS meses habia borrado y Ahora no me deja ... no se Por Que, en solitario Pero me Aparecen los enlaces Como Si estuvieran Escritos, Haber si me explico, no Llevan un ningn lado, como no fueran enlaces. Aqui les pongo lo que me dice
I encountered this recently. What I discovered is that the .app is correctly installed in /Applications However the launcher and related data is installed to /Users//Library/Application Support/minecraft Every other user that attempted to launch the .app would fail with the error the OP reported. Simply changing the .app and it's Contents folder to R+W for everyone did not solve my particular issue.
So does it mean that even though I "own" Minecraft thanks to the Xbox Game Pass. I do not own it in the eyes of Technicpack, because I did not purchase the game itself? Or is there some other problem.
Heh probably found out the problem. Once I started the Vanilla version of Java Minecraft with my Microsoft account it wanted me to make Nickname(so supposedly to make the account of Mojang I suppose). After doing that I tried Installing the TechnicLauncher again and it worked. So Im in!
My son and I have been taking turns on the same Minecraft account for awhile now, but I want us to be able to play together, so I created a realm, and I'm trying to create a second account, but I receive the following error message: "You already own one copy of Minecraft on this account."
You do NOT need to have a realms subscription to play together:If you have multiple computers on a LAN all you need to do is create a Singleplayer game and then choose the "Open to LAN" option, which will make the game appear in the other LAN computers multiplayer lobby.
Realms is a server hosting solution - it is not a second copy of Minecraft. In fact, if you're playing in the same home, you can host minecraft on your computer and your son can join in via LAN without needing Realms.
He claimed that I can change the email id and password by 7th January. But when I attempt to change that email ID, it seems that minecraft requires us to enter the Transaction ID (the original ID which minecraft provided when he made the purchase).
When I contacted him for the Transaction ID, he claimed that the account was from his friend, and he doesn't have the Transaction ID. I have to wait until 7th January to change the email. Besides he also sent me a link telling me that I can actually change the email without the Transaction ID (which I dare not click).
Yesterday my MS account got hacked and my original email was removed and i couldn't access my other (OutLook) email to access the account. Then all my account's got changed to that (OutLook) Email, even my pc. I had to do a PC reset because they had access to my PC. I got everything back though and activated 2FA at all my accounts, but the sad thing is that my minecraft account is also connected to that email. Is there a way to change the email so i can get access to it again? Or can i lock that (OutLook) Email so the hackers dont get access to my minecraft account? I would really like to know because i spend much time on that account.
I am now trying to recover the account and won't accept the receipt no. as proof. In subsequent years I DID create a PayPal account with the same email address, but I am unable to go back and view the report from 2010 to recover a transaction id.
Modrinth App 0.7.0 has completely overhauled the authorization system to match that of the official Minecraft Launcher. This makes the process of signing in to Minecraft in Modrinth App much more reliable and accessible.
That window contains a generally helpful suggestion to check your account, as well as debugging information that should help you and our support agents to pinpoint the exact sign in issue that you are experiencing ?
Modrinth App performs authorization in steps, and this article will list common issues for each step. For transparency, we'll try to give a general explanation of what the step does, and then describe each common issue for that step.
When you have an unstable network connection, you may experience error sending request for url () errors. This means that Modrinth App tried to send a request to a specific URL, but the request didn't go through due to a network problem.
Please try again or check your internet connection. If the problem persists, make sure that your third-party antivirus software, firewall and hosts file allow for the connection to go through. Using a service like Cloudflare Warp can sometimes help as well.
Some steps may fail if you are signing with the wrong account. In the future we'll improve this aspect so you can know which account you are signing in with. For now, we recommend you checking out our support article on how to find the right Xbox account.
The first step of the authorization process is to authenticate your device with Xbox. During this step, Modrinth App generates and stores a key for your device. This key is used to sign all requests to Xbox.
In the second step of the authorization process, Modrinth App contacts Xbox services to initiate the authentication session. If successful, Xbox services will provide Modrinth App with the address of the sign-in page, which the app will open in a separate browser view.
If you are experiencing the error related to deserialization failure of JSON due to EOF at line 1, column 0, this is likely a cause of the rejected authentication request. This error means that the Xbox responded with nothing when the app expected a specific response.
