I f you have a Mac, FTB freezes up after 1-2 minutes playing and no one from FTb has addressed this problem. So we Mac people can not play FTB!! A lot of Mac players have posted here about this problem.
I have contacted Support and have not gotten a replay in 3-4 days.
What is their problem!

This isn't entirely true, I have a mac and can play FTB indefinitely, what is the problem you're having? what pack are you using? what happens after 1-2 minutes? if it's the memory leak error, theres a fix for it... if not someone should be able to help, it's definitely not a case of no ftb on a mac.

p.s if you have a problem running ftb for whatever reason, the tech support forum is full of clever, useful people who can usually point you in the right direction :)

I agree with the above^^
I am playing on a Mac and have been from the start. Except for the memory leak issue which was fixed, I have had no problem running FTB on Mindcrack or the Ultimate Pack...

Our problem was the backlog in excess of 1,000 tickets. Every unassigned ticket has been cleared, and if you would like to, you can resubmit your ticket. Please read the knowledgebase articles first though!

As the two previous posts state, it is possible to play FTB on a mac, however you must use Java 6.

I had problems with crashes, but not major ones like you, probably every 10-20 minutes

I had to add this to the additional java parameters alongside using Java 6
Code:
-XX:PermSize=128m
In the launcher, Options tab -> advanced options
then enter it into the additional java parameters.

I am running Java 6 and I have tried
-XX:permSize=128m
I was using Direwolf 5.1 and 5.2 is when the problem started. I have also tried Ultimate.
The FTB will not start at all now for Me.
If some could help me, this would be GREAT

Please post your entire client side console log on pastebin.com and link your paste URL here. This is the other window that is opened by the FTB launcher. Please post any and all other logs you can provide to pastebin.com and link those as well. Logs are much easier to read when uploaded to pastebin. To prevent future issues, such as pastebin flagging your log as spam and deleting it, it is simplest to create an account on pastebin.com and use that account to upload your logs.

So the pastebin URL, is all that's needed, it's an exact copy of what you pasted there, anyway, this is just the launcher loading, what's needed is the console log, when it crashes. All you need to do is click "paste my log to pastebin" in that second window, and then post the URL in here & people can read it, and hopefully work out what's causing the problem for you. as it is know, I can only tell you, I know you're running snow leopard, but other than that, you're log on launch is almost identical to mine.

As for backing up, it's the folder where your saves and configs are stored that you want backed up.

Console
I hope this is it, as you can see, I do not know anything.
So to save like- Direworf = config backup. Is this right?

I'm asking you to put it on patebin.com because it is easier to read, and is in a format that is easier to discuss (ie. I can tell you Line # is the problem and better explain what that problem is and how to fix it.)

is not perm size, is max perm size guys

-XX:MaxPermSize=128m

add that to advanced options > additional java parameters.

I had to do that to play the mindcrack pack, without it i can play DW totally fine.

Mine was just PermSize, and that fixed it as I posted, there is also a max perm size function, I'm guessing that they fix different problems, or perhaps the same problem different ways

I'm not really sure why it works, but I just know it does for me, and thus may work for somebody else.

well, I had problems with launching mindcrack (class missing, some weird error, packets to go, not enough ram) but oddly enough, DW worked fine, anyway, I changed the perm size = couldn't even launch, changed to max size, problems solved.
