Java apps not working right

I lately have found problems with Java apps not working correctly. For example, in Yahoo Widgets I cannot get any widget preferences to display; in Apple's Java Preferences for J2SE 5.0 the preference window opens but is blank; and in JBidwatcher the buttons are missing in main and preference windows.
When I log in as another user I find all those apps work properly, so it seems to be something wrong within my User folder. I tried reinstalling the Java J2SE50ReIease4 but it didn't help. Is there something I can delete and/or reinstall to fix this problem?

Ditto here,
I made the mistake of thinking I could throw away the preferences in the Java folder and new pref's would automatically replace the missing pref's, much to my surprise no such thing happened. My settup is the same as yours, except my OS is 10.4.8.
Someone please help.
Thanks,

  • Java app not working

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop and after I followed your advice I constantly get a message that reads, "Alert! This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6. My latest version is 10.8.2. It is too late for me to phone AppleCare. Community, please help with this problem.
    Thank you,
    Marlin

    I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do or what advice you're following. It sounds like you are trying to install a Java update for Mac OS X 10.6, which you can't do because you're not using 10.6.
    Are you trying to upgrade Java or downgrade Java or what? What app is not working? What problem are you trying to solve?

  • Book in borders app not working right

    I have an iPod Touch with the borders app. I have downloaded ebooks onto it before and never had any problems.
    I downloaded one recently and when I went to open the book to read it, it said the book needed updating. I clicked okay to update it. I tried to open the book again and it gave me the same message. I tried deleteing my borders app from my iPod and reinstalling. I uninstalled borders app again. Reinstalled it and reinstalled the book. It is still saying the same thing.
    I called borders after all this and they said it looked fine on their end and to connect Apple about it. So, here I am. Anybody have any suggestions?

    Chariot, unless someone decompiles that swf we cannot see
    your code or how you constructed it. I did do that and took a look
    but not everyone can do that. In the future, you can either post
    the FLA or use the "Attach Code" button to show what you've done.
    1.) first thing I noticed was that your HIT area on your
    buttons is the text itself. If you make a rectangle on the HIT
    frame only that is slightly larger than your text, you won't have
    such jumpy behavior when mousing over or trying to find the "sweet
    spot" that will actually click. You've made invisible buttons, I
    see. It's the same concept. That way, you can get rid of the
    invisible buttons altogether.
    2.) Not sure why you have several layers on your buttons.
    Looks like you have a layer per letter. They can all be on the same
    layer. :)
    3.) Try to put your button code on the main timeline instead
    of on the buttons themselves. If you're curious why, read
    this
    article.
    4.) You only need one arrow button... not a different one for
    each section. Again, place the code on the main timeline and
    specify at each keyframe what you want "leftArrow_btn" or
    "rightArrow_btn" to do. I just made up those instance names but
    they'll do whatever you tell them to do even if it's different than
    what you told them to do before.
    Other than that, I don't see what you are referring to.
    There's a lot of cleaning up to be done. That will probably fix
    some errors. I've posted an example of how it might work for you
    here.

  • Facebook App Not Working Right

    I hope this is the right place to ask this question! We just got iPhones (3GS) a few weeks ago, and I've been using the Facebook App with no problems. However, my husband installed the App and for some reason, he cannot get any Status Updates to show - it just says "No Stories Found". For "Top Stories" only 3 will show! We've deleted and reinstalled but it still will not display the News Feed...
    Anyone else having this problem - or know how to fix it?!
    Thanks so much!

    You should really read the manual.
    Reset is covered in the basics section of the manual.

  • Is anyone else having problems with the overdrive app not working right after new apple update

    I am having problems with the overdrive app.  I am only allowed to read about twenty pages of a book and then it tries to load more pages but does not.  I have reinstalled the app but have the same problem. Any ideas.

    Have to talked to the developer? Gone to their site? Do they have an update out for the newer OS?

  • Java Apps not working

    I just get that coffee cup symbol endlessly on java pages. Any quick fix?

    From the Downloads tab above. I'd try the J2SE 5.0 Release 4 and select Intel or PPC whichever is appropriate. You might have to delete the Java.pkg or other Java-related .pkg files in Receipts before you can install it.

  • Mail app not working right

    I have Mail 7.3, but when I delete messages they don't get completely removed from my inbox. They're grayed out and when I click on them, they show up blank. Anybody have a solution?

    The answer of sberman is correct. If you still have the problem after taking that step, see below.
    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
              Envelope Index
              ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Java Safari Not Working

    Hi all, I am running 10.4.11 with the new safari but now I believe my java is not working right anymore. I am getting the mug with arrows and no response when I try to upload photos onto places like facebook and costco. I have gone through the software update but it says I am all up to date. As well, I need to access the following site:

    Any help?

    Commiserating with you Seanifer - I cannot get Java-based Webinars (Citrix) to load either. As a test of a theory, I tried to load the same webinars in Firefox. It too didn't load - I suspect it's an issue specifically with Java and not necessarily with Safari.
    I too have all software updated - I'm running in Leopard v10.5.6, running Safari v3.2.1 and Java Web Start 12.2.0. Firefox v3.0.6
    We might want to begin with temporarily removing the plist for Java. Do you know how to do this (I do - I'm asking so as to know how detailed my assistance should be for you).
    I have the following Java components loading in this order:
    Java applet versions
    J2SE 5.0 32bit
    Java SE 6 64-bit
    J2SE 5.0 64bit
    J2SE 1.4.2 32-bit
    Java application versions
    J2SE 5.0 32bit
    Java SE 6 64-bit
    J2SE 5.0 64bit
    J2SE 1.4.2 32-bit
    I believe these are the "default" settings as seen in my Java Preferences panel.
    Rolling-up my sleeves on this one! Stay tuned.

    My iPad mini is not working right on some apps

    You can always try to reset your device and see if it helps matters any:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Java does not work at all upon using the update manager to update to firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 9.0.4

    OS: Ubuntu 9.0.4
    Browser: Firefox 3.6.10
    upon updating to firefox 3.6.10, java does not work at all.
    websites that use java do not work at all anymore, when they worked just fine before the updating thru update manager. e.g. hulu website cannot play any of the shows.
    i can give the folder of bookmarked pages i tried.
    how to do that on here, i've yet to see if possible.
    i can even give saved text from the terminal concerning certain attempts.
    when i updated thru update manager, it gave some weird java plugin that wasn't there before "The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin IcedTea6 Java Web Browser Plugin (execution of applets on webpages)".
    i uninstalled this as instructed by an answer found in one of the pages i saved, cuz it was conflicting w/another java program the updater said i needed. right now, i don't remember for sure what it was. it perhaps was realplayer flash or Java itself. w/all the hours/days of searching i put in, it's difficult if not downright impossible for me to remember all the specifics of what i tried.
    i've searched throughout many webpages (including many searches on mozilla, ubuntu, java, etc) for instruction in fixing the problem.
    oh, and incidentally, on the Java site, when i try the verify test of Java, firefox pops up with that yellow bar right below the slew of tabbed website windows, giving the statement "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. (w/link to) install missing plugins ." which is what i do, go thru the requesting plugin installation. it comes up with, guess what, the IcedTea Java Plugin. i click on the 'next' in the "Plugin Finder Service" box that pops up, & all it gives me is "No plugins were installed. IcedTea ...Plugin failed. and the link 'find out more about plugins or manually find missing plugins'". the link takes me to some of the very things/plugins that wouldn't install in the first place. the Java test failure is a LOL funny, as what plugin it is saying is required (IcedTea) is a recommended alternate program to display the very test in the first place.
    i followed the given instructions on those many searched pages, in every case (barring what i may have just plain missed), but to no avail.
    i've even gone to the point of trying to reinstall the previous 3.5.13 firefox version, from mozilla site. even that wouldn't install.
    i've tried installing Java for my sys direct from it's site. nada.
    now it's time for me to post the problem & perhaps someone will come up with some kind of "dummy" way to fix it.
    until then many sites a regularly use are totally useless to me on this fast puter.
    the only way i can get to use such sites, are two choices: 1. use a dinosaur laptop, which is slower than molasses & cannot handle to any streaming stuff, or 2. use an available internet access puter at the library. but useage for ea person per day is limited to only one hour a day. and one can end up waiting for an hour or more ( in the busiest periods) to even get to use one.
    so, is there anyone at all, who knows any for-sure working fix for this problem?
    thanks muchly :^D
    p.s. i can't pay anybody any money for such help, as is required in certain sites (e.g. Java website), cuz i don't have any.
    i can pay in labor tho, if there is someway to find someone who can physically be at this puter w/me, taking me step-by-step
    sorry for the 20-pg essay. i hope it was all clearly understood. if, not, well, clear communication is always what is needed, ask away.

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    *Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
    Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
    *http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

  • Is there any way to redownload iOS 5 my iPod touch 4 th generation white 32 gig is not working right?

    My iPod is not working right. It's slow and lags and just doesn't work and always exits apps. I was if there was any way to redownload ios5 because it does the same things after I've reset about 4 times. Please help! It's even lagging why I am typing this. The thing that I checked below are all of the things that are not working on my iPod.

    You cannot reinstall iOS without doing a restore. But you might first try a software update. If you have iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1, you can update to iOS 5.1 by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
