I am unable to log on to Minecraft launcher from macbook

Hello Cellou,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, here are some steps you can take to try to fix this issue:

Check your Internet connection. Make sure your MacBook Air is connected to the Internet and has a stable connection.

Try downloading the Minecraft launcher again. You can download the launcher from the Minecraft website.

Try launching the launcher from the downloads folder. Once you have downloaded the launcher, locate the Downloads folder on your MacBook Air.

Open the folder and double-click the "Minecraft Launcher" file.

Try launching the launcher from the Finder app. Open the Finder app and locate the "Minecraft Launcher" file. Double click the file to start it.

Sign in to your Minecraft account. If you are not already signed in to your Minecraft account, click the "Sign In" button in the launcher.

Check your version of Minecraft. Make sure your MacBook Air has the latest version of Minecraft. You can check your version of Minecraft by clicking the "Help" button in the launcher and selecting "About Minecraft."

I hope I have answered your question correctly, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Sincerely,
Marvina.

I have completed the tasks but still unable to download Minecraft Launcher, however I am able to install minecraft installer after pressing the link but not minecraft launcher.

Hi there Racca R.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues with your Minecraft launcher token.

The token you deleted is likely a session token used by the Minecraft launcher to authenticate your account without requiring you to log in every time. Deleting this token means the launcher can't verify your credentials automatically, which is why you're unable to play.

The simplest solution is to reauthenticate your account by logging in again. Here's how to do it:

Open the Minecraft Launcher: Start the Minecraft launcher you usually use.
Log Out: If you're not already logged out, log out from your current session. You can usually find this option in the launcher settings or by clicking on your profile icon.
Log In Again: Enter your Minecraft (Mojang/Microsoft) account email and password. This will generate a new session token, allowing you to play the game.

Ensure that you have the correct email and password for your Minecraft account. If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it:

Mojang Accounts: Go to the Mojang account login page and use the "Forgot Password" feature.
Microsoft Accounts: If you’ve migrated to a Microsoft account, go to the Microsoft account login page and use the "Forgot Password" feature.

Ensure that your Minecraft launcher is up-to-date. Sometimes, outdated software can cause authentication issues. You can download the latest version of the launcher from the official Minecraft website.

You can also reinstall the launcher.

I hope this helps!

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie

Thank you for your help, however I am currently unable to access the minecraft launcher (it can't be opened/launched, is still showing up in the windows search bar, cannot be uninstalled).

Every time I try to download it again from other places (microsoft store application, minecraft installer application, minecraft launcher from the xbox store), I get an error and it tells me it is unable to install

When I click buy from the Minecraft launcher it takes me to this website https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-edition?ref=Launcher I'm not logged in and it has the option to purchase Minecraft but after logging in to the that website with same Microsoft account that I had logged into the Minecraft launcher with the purchase option is replaced with Already own Minecraft? Download it again. and the launcher download button.
