So... *Sigh*

I was using VMWare Fusion, and I had the WC3 World Editor running under Windows (using a 3rd party plugin that doesn't work in OSX). I then made the mistake of trying to launch WC3 in OSX, and I just got a black screen. I rebooted my computer, and tried launching WC3 again... still just a black screen. I then uninstalled WC3 (deleting the app folder, and using spotlight to find everything in the libraries and deleting them), and reinstalled it, and now when i try to launch the app it just says unexpectedly quit. Rebooted, same problem. Oh yes, and I did try repairing permissions.

Any suggestions?

When you reinstalled it did you apply the universal binary patch?

You would normally patch it by way of logging onto Battle.net, but I can't launch the application so I can't patch it.

Grab the standalone patch from Battle.net (http://www.battle.net)

As Cougarcat said, it's possible to use the stand alone patch (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=mwr0642p)....

You can only patch one version at a time, you can't install the newest patch directly to a fresh install.

Really? It works with SC, just wondering why it wouldn't work with WC ( it's been a while since I've done a fresh install ).

try deleting all Blizzard / Warcraft prefs files from your home/library/preferences folder.
