I'm trying to start up FTB Unleashed and it freezes on a black screen, I managed to get this report. I've tried to reinstall and update Java 7, but it hasn't worked. I've seen recommendations to downgrade to Java 6, but sadly I'm on a mac and I can't seem to find out how to do it. Sorry if this has been answered before, if it has been could you please redirect me there. Thanks :)

Since you cannot downgrade then I suggest you update your lwjgl to 2.9.0 inside the Unleashed folder. Look here for more info. Follow the guide that is linked just substitute the ~/Library/Application Support folder for the mod pack folder. There are files for all OSes and some specific to a Mac. If your screen is turned upside down I've seen reports of this however I do not know of a solution as I do not have a Mac and do not remember anyone posting a fix. Good luck.

I just tried updating to lwjgl 2.9.1 and used the tutorial and also downgraded to Java 6 through terminal and verified that I have downgraded. Also I reset my computer in order to make sure it installed. This seems to have done something because now it plays the FTB logo, starts up Forge, and then goes to a white screen (FTB screen, not whole screen) and freezes. I got another error report http://pastebin.com/9vxfne5P IDK if it's similar or even the same as the last one, I can barely understand what these say.[DOUBLEPOST=1386820055][/DOUBLEPOST]

Also about the upside down screen, I've had this issue before with Hexxit and Forge. It's patched in the newer versions of Forge. If you want to fix it in the current version of Forge, just go into fullscreen and it'll flip it right-side up :)

Java home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Did you download Java 6 or did it downgrade for you? You are using the jdk, java development kit, not the jre, java run-time environment. Try to get the jre if possible.

I consider changing to full-screen a band-aid not a fix, but I guess I should have mentioned it.

Just checked in Terminal, I have SE Runtime Environment, JRE build 1.6.0_45. Also I used apples guide online, which supposedly just uninstalled Java 7 and reinstalled Java 6.
