Launcher Fails on Mac
On OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion, the launcher runs and the right files download, but when the launcher tries to open the new Minecraft window (the one with title "Minecraft 13w16a"), it hangs in the Mojang logo screen.
EDIT: Error message (from launcher console) appears to be
Client> java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
Client> at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1937)
Client> at asm.a(SourceFile:1469)

Works fine for me on my recently upgraded OS X 10.8.3
Could it be my Java install?
What version do you have?
Odd, working now that I deleted minecraft Application Support folder and reinstalled new launcher.
Worked for me
I have had the exact same problem.
I use a Mac Snow Leopard.
