Follow these steps to sign in:
1: Launch the FTB launcher.
2: On the bottom right, to the left of the launch button there will be a small "v"(upside down triangle). Press that.
3: Select "Create Profile".
4: Where it says "Username:" put your minecraft.net login username.
5: Where it says "Password:" put your minecraft.net login password.
6: Where it says "Profile Na..." put whatever you wish to name this profile(e.g. Tom's profile).
7: Select the Accept button at the bottom of the window. For me it says "A..."
8: Now press the Launch button at the bottom right of the launcher.

You may have downloaded a non-recommended build. There's a dropdown that says "Recommended", try changing it to the latest version which may be below where it says recommended but it is still the latest. You may also be using the wrong modpack.

For my launcher should I have the exe or the jar downloaded? Also when I choose for instance, the MindCrack pack, why does it redownload the mod pack every time I open it?

For windows I recommend the exe first then the jar, but that is not what he is talking about. He means you need to use the same version of the modpack that the server has installed. You can find out what version they use by going the the thread the server owner made, and checking for something similar to v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, etc.

Backup your saves before doing this. Follow these steps if you don't know how:

Then follow these steps:
1: Open the FTB launcher.
2: Below the "OPTIONS" tab (not inside, but below) there should be a "v"(upside down triangle) with either "Recommended" or a number inside(e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.0.1). Press the "v"(upside down triangle).
3: Select the # that matches the V# that the server uses. This is the version of the modpack.
4: Launch the launcher, and it will download and install the selected version.
5: Enter the server you wish to play on.

I plan on hosting the server, but I downloaded the exe and now everything seems to be working fine. I'm not sure what version it is though but I downloaded the server directly from the home page, so I'm guessing v6?

As for the version if you chose the Mindcrack pack you will have version 8.0.1. The Direwolf20 pack will have 5.0.1. FTB Lite 1.0.1. Magic World 7.0.1. Tech World 1.0.1. Universal Electicity 1.0.9. Retro SMP 1. Beta pack A 12.

How come it redownload the mod pack every time I log in?

dementia said:

It should only download once for every time you change the version then launch.

Every time I log in and out or re open the Launcher, it redownloads.

this is happening to me too. is there a fix?

Try deleting the settings folder.
Location here:
http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/feed-the-beast-launcher-directories-mac-linux-windows.9363/

Then delete the current launcher. Finally download the latest version from the feed-the-beast.com website, and launch it.

Also post the logs it gives you to pastebin, then link them here.

Just checked and it's in ~/Library/Application Support/ftblauncher
You can either use Go>Go to folder... and enter ~/Library in finder or use 'cd ~/Library' in terminal.
