So it's a multitude of common issues it seems but nothing I can do has fixed it yet. I downloaded the launcher and type in my information and it will say Can't Connect to Minecraft.net. Went to minecraft.net to play in-browser, and it will load all the way to Loading Done and freeze there. Open the launcher again and try to login it will say it can't connect but this time I can click play offline. It gives me a black screen and nothing to do.
EDIT
No mods, it's a clean computer just bought.
Java 6 installed and reinstalled for assurance it's the right version.
Tried reinstall multiple times.
Have deleted the bin folder before almost every attempt to fix.
Force update doesn't work, spamming gives the same error every time.
Oudated mod?
Java updated?
Tried to reinstall minecraft?
Start - Run - Type: "&appdata%" - .minecraft - bin - delete bin folder?
Launch minecraft - options before logging in - force update - login - can't connect? spam the login button!
This is the most common things, you should check the sticky threads.

Bump, I still can't fix it I'm trying everything I'm reading on the stickies and forum threads and google websites. Any really technical reason anyone can think of?
Bump again. I'm becoming disappointed with the help from the users here. More threads are being helped and read on fixing in-game small petty or non needed issues such as mods. (I like them too but I played the game on my desktop with zero mods and love it) I can't even get into the game and have tried everything on the stickies/yahoo answers/youtube/google search. This is a brand new laptop with Java 6 installed can someone help.
Texture Packs (all as far as I know) require that you download the game for it to work
If you try to use one online (in my experience) causes a whole bunch of Nothing to happen
the "black screen of death", as it were
On the note of inability to connect
Are you waiting at the Launcher for connection
or are you tabbing away to do something else?
Thank you very much for trying to help Sebine. There is absolutly NOTHING on here. No mods, packs, cheats, or editors of any sort. It's a clean laptop I've completely deleted the .minecraft folder and trying Minecraft Classic... no I visually see an error

It seems, according to that thread, to be a java problem
What OS are you running?
I dont think you've said that yet
Alright I'll give you a full rundown.
ASUS G74S Laptop
Win7 64bit
560M GTX
12gb ram
i7 2.00
Java 6 installed
Minecraft issues:
---When in browser; downloads all packages good, gets stuck on Done Loading (Notice small bar on right side white in color.)
---Client Side; Can't connect to minecraft.net, after trying the browser the Play offline button became available, then Black Screen.
I have already tried the simple fixes.
Appdata bin file deleted
reinstalled java
going to reinstall vid driver soon
I have spammed the login button too.
I am also currently experiencing this exact same problem. In browser won't work and launcher can't connect to minecraft.net. Tried all suggestions as well. Potential minecraft server problems? I did just pay for it today and I'm rather disappointed i can't play it yet.
As for what Epikal has said my windows username does indeed have an "!" in it but that seems to be a rather glaring and unreasonable issue for java to have. I will attempt your other suggestions though thank you.

Why do you think you know what might prevent Java from working and what not? I can assure you that was Epikal said is indeed the cause of your issue. Create a new user account and you should be fine.

Alright, I was finally able to come back and work on it again. The username does have an '!' in it. I created a new account and beta works fine. Now my question is how do I fix it on the other user account. I can't just make a new account and delete it unless you know of a way to maybe dupe it way too many settings and programs that weren't installed for all users.

java.lang.illegalargumentexception: input == null!
Could this error be precedent in Beta as well just doesn't report it like classic does. I'm researching a solution now.
I have never heard of, nor seen this error... sounds like fun
lemmi google this real fast

You DO have java 64bit, yes?
yes
I honestly have no idea what could be wrong
have you tried contacting Notch directly through the website?
