Sorry, Answering my own question (just found out)

minecraft was stuck on "updating" because it couldn't find the Minecraft.jar file, usually it would attempt to fix this by re-installing (or "Retrieving") it, but because it could find the bin file it couldn't understand why Minecraft.jar file wasn't there:

Explanation: (any thing in brackets is not part of a file name)

Files as follows

".Minecraft" (file) contains

options.txt

Last login (which was an unknown file for me)

Stats (file)

Bin (main one here) (file)

Saves (file)

Screenshots (file)

resources (file)

texture packs (file)

"bin" (file inside .minecraft) contains:

Version

md5s

Minecraft.jar (the folder it couldn't find)

Iwjgl_util.jar

jinput.jar

Iwjgl.jar

Natives (file)

I had royally screwed up my minecraft.jar file, and deleted it because a website said it would re-install itself,

YOU HAVE TO DELETE THE WHOLE "Bin" FILE TO GET IT TO RELOAD

THIS WORKS PERFECTLY FOR ME:
