Why your iMac turn white with a blinking question mark?
It's looking for a Boot Disk. For some reason the computer can't find an operating system. Either your HD is dying or has died or the HD got corrupted. Boot into your MacOS installer DVD and see if you can "Repair disk" and see if that helps if not then you may have to buy DiskWarrior or similar disk repair program to save it.

If you are talking about just Minecraft with no mods and just the vanilla game you don't need anything but the game. If you need to download a mod just look up tutorials on YouTube on the mod you are installing and specify that the installation is for mac or you'll get a PC one.

What does the color wheel mean in an Apple computer?
I work on Macs at my job. From my understanding, that spinning rainbow wheel indicates that the computer is trying to run an application, but is unsuccessful. It is similar to the stuck hour-glass in windows.
It also means that it is busy doing something, if the computer is taking longer then normal then it will show the "Beach Ball" to let you know to wait a few seconds until it can finish. If it's spinning for just a few seconds then that's ok but if it's been longer then a few minutes then the application you were using has probably crashed and it's just as well to "Force Quit" the Application you were using. You did save recently, didn't you? "Apple menu"/scroll down to" Force Quit...."/ then click on the dead application. You can also press Command-Option-Escape. If you have a lot of open applications in the back ground and you haven't quit them, they still take up a certain amount of Ram and then the computer has that much Less Ram to use, so it takes longer to do things.
If you're familiar with Windows, it's pretty much the same as an application "Not Responding".

Why does your mac shut down unexpectedly?
The battery is dying and won't hold a charge.
If you have a Laptop is the power plugged in all the way or did the cord come out and did not charge the battery.

Use the "Hardware Test" DVD or look in your manual and see what the key strokes are to boot into it on later models and see if any warnings come up.
Your power supply is dying.
