java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.getMinecraft()Lnet/minecraft/client/Minecraft

You have downloaded the wrong file. You have to download the file that has -universal, -client or -server in the filename.

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method ... from class ...

There are a few options.

1. You might be using an outdated Forge version. Update to at least 1185.
2. Your mod file has the wrong file extension. Sometimes some browsers download mods files and randomly append .zip to the original filename, resulting in a .jar.zip extension. The filename must end in .jar only!

When will you update for X.Y.Z?

1. When MinecraftForge for X.Y.Z is out.
2. When I'll have enough time to finish the update in a decent time frame.

Just be patient and wait. Some updates are easy, some are hard. The time required to update greatly depends on that. Just remember: each minute I have to spend reading "when will you update for X.Y.Z" is possibly a wasted minute that could be spent on the update itself.
