Try Minecraft How To Set Things

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.:) Thanks for the help or any other ideas.

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.

Ive 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.

If I re-install on a different account by overwriting the files etc then it does the same thing but for that account.

I can confirm that Ive tried logging out of the minecraft account itself before opening under a different profile but that doesnt help.

I initially changed this at the app level by doing a Get Info and changing them to all being RW.

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 RW.

App Level -- change RW for all Contents Level -- Change RW for all and then apply to enclosed items.

If its parked somewhere in a users folder thats likely the issue for trying to run under multiple accounts.

If it is already in the applications folder its possible the game is linked to the account you used when the purchase was made, but I dont know for sure.

I do think youre going to get better traction on the Minecraft forum for this questions.

OS X is concerned its as you said This should work.

As far as root. Its 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 Ill try to move that folder and see if it helps.

Though Im not sure if that will confuse the app since its likely looking in that specific location it was installed.

It was actually purchased on a different computer at my parents.

It installed and worked on this computer ok but just for whatever account its installed to directly.

I can overwrite the install from another users profile on the system and then it works from that profile only.

That was my original thought as well so I posted there prior to posting here.

Just no dice yet and there is no main support channels to reach them thru.
