Mac launcher won't start; stuck on "Updating Minecraft"
When I open the Minecraft application, I get a progress bar saying "Updating Minecraft", but the progress bar advances to 5 or 40% and then just gets frozen. I have tried waiting for over an hour but the bar doesn't move. It was working perfectly fine 2 days ago, though.
