I read every thread I could find on this topic, but I didn't find anything that helped.
Every time I try to install Forge, I get the infamous Done Loading freeze. I've tried using the latest version of Forge (6.6.1.527) and the recommended version (6.6.0.497). I'm using Minecraft 1.4.7 on a Mac.
Here's what I'm doing:
I go my bin folder, and change "minecraft.jar" to "minecraft.zip". I expand the zip file and open the folder. After downloading Forge, I expand the zip file, and open the folder. I copy everything inside the Forge folder and paste it into the Minecraft folder, telling it to replace the files with the same name. I delete META-INF. After that, I compress the file, and rename it back to "minecraft.jar".
I don't know how to access any logs I have that would help, so if there are any you need to see, instructions would be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to mention-- my minecraft.jar is completely unmodded to start out with. No MCPatcher.
