I've ran into a problem, could anyone help?

[Amiley]

I own a macbook pro and I downloaded forge 1.7.10. When i open minecraft there is no text that appears in any of the boxes. 

- I have updated java

- I do not have optifine 

- at this point i did not have any other mods installed

Now, i added the mods and the text appears fine, but then when i play the game some basic items are not showing up such as the stick, iron shovel, etc... I can only see the name of the item - not the image/texture

I couldnt find any solutions online and i have been playing with forge for years and never encountered this issue. 

 

Mac specs: 

2.4 GHz Intel Core i7

8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

 

Thanks for your time!
