Problems with Java on Macbook Air OS X 10.6.8

I have a MacBook Air OS X 10.6.8 and need to use Java to download an App for online tutorials - 'Elluminate'.  Unfortunately I can't seem to download this app due to problems with Java.  I have made various attemps to download Java 6, software update and altered web browsers but nothing has worked.  There is no java icon in my systems preferences and only 'java preferences in my applications.  I need Elluminate to be working by Tuesday - any advice would be appreciated!!

For all you computer literate people out there - this is what is marked in my terminal when I type in java - version
Unrecognized option: -
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Hope this helps!!

  • Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air - mail with 32MB attachment appearing in "recovered messages" folder every 12 seconds

    Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air
    3 days ago I failed to send a mail with a large (32MB) attachment - and it is no longer in my outbox, draft mails or sent file.
    BUT a copy of this same mail now appears every about 15 seconds in my "recovered messages" folder
    I noticed when I received a system error saying I had a disk almost full issue - there were over 580 copies of the mail with 32MB attachment in the "recovered messages file"
    I deleted them all, and deleted the Trash
    BUT the message still keeps re-appearing every 15 seconds or so.  So I keep deleting them.
    Since then I have not been able to receive mail (altho' I am able to send) and Mail is VERY slow
    I am running MAC OS X 10.6.8
    I am running Mail version 4.6 (1085)

    Also here's the log before it happened. As you can see there is no activity from 9:48 to 10:00 am when the sound occurred.

  • Anyone have problems with a 2011 MacBook Air battery going dead

    Has anyone had repeated issues with their  11" MacBook Air battery dying?  I took mine in about 3-6 months ago and they replaced the battery.  It was fried.  It's happened again.  Has anyone else had the same problems?  Has anyone got apple to replace their Air with a newer model free of charge?  Please reply back if anyone has had similar problems.  Thank you.

    How exactly are you using your Air?
    A: are you ever or often letting your Air shut down from power loss?
    B: do you have your Air always charging AND in sleep mode?
    Your service on your battery has a warranty, contact Apple for another visit for full diagnostic and possible repair.
    your logic board could have a fault causing the battery to dissipate abnormally.

  • Problems with my new MacBook air

    Hello, I have a new MacBook Air, OSX MAVERICKS 10.9.2 which I purchased two weeks ago and it is (1) only recognising my log in password sporadically, and (2) it seems to be freezing up very often, when I do get it to recognise me, and (3) I can't open any application without it asking for a keychain password , which it doesn't recognise when I do enter it. any suggestions to help me with this problem?

    You would probably be best placed to call AppleCare - you get free phone support within 90 days of purchase.

  • Starting problems with a new MacBook Air

    I have just bought a new MacBook Air, and have followed the set up assistant all the way to the last page
    The message "Thank you, your Mac is now ready to use",appeared and I clicked "Start using Mac"
    The rainbow colloured cirkle just keeps on turning - but nothing happens. And it hasn't for 8 hours
    In the process I have used an external USB mobile hard drive to transfer data from my old MacBook.
    There was no indication of any problem using this in the setup process.
    I have after 8 hours in desperation removed the mobile hard drive - with no result.
    Please, can someone help me from what is becoming the the turning madness of 'the evil rainbow eye'?

    Maybe another shutdown then start, will help: hold the on/off button untill it shuts off.
    Do not connect anything.
    When it will not start again, you shutdown and start while holding the three keys at the same time:  the CMD key + Alt(=option) key + R key:
    You need an internet connection, it will start in the internet recovery "disk" and then you choose Recover OSX.
    It will take some time.

  • So, there is a problem with starting my macbook air

    Every time, i try to start it, there appears something like that
    I can't load it with Cmd+R, and don't really know how to do Safe Boot. Found, that I suppose to hold Shift, while starting, but nothing happens. Help me, guys.

    I don't really know. I'm new to mac and this is my first laptop. But I did it once two months ago, when I needed to set my mac as new one. While booting, I held Cmd+R and set it as new one. But nothing at this time.
    Try to start it with option key held, but again, nothig happens. It's all the same.
    Upd: seems, that I did something wrong. This time i succeed to start it with option key held.

  • Early problems with Java on my Macbook.

    Hi, I am a former high school computer science student and I'm having problems with Java as I've recently moved from Windows to a Mac. The following is a letter I wrote to my prior computer science teacher but he does not seem to be responding. I think all you need to know is that DrawHouse and JumpingJacks are simple Java programs we made in class that utilize an object called DrawingTool (which is a graphics environment). DrawingTool is contained in gpdraw.jar and also was contained in our class' apcslib.jar. Also, FileInput is a class contained in apcslib.jar.
    I basically transferred all my JAR files (apcslib.jar, etc.) from my Windows computer to my Mac. I didn't think anything was wrong or corrupted with them because they're the same JAR files that I used for my Java programs on my Windows comp in high school and when I run those Java programs now, they still work. But for some reason if I try to run, say, DrawHouse or JumpingJacks with those same programs on my Macbook, it gives me the following errors on runtime (it compiles fine).
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
         at apcslib.DrawingTool.move( DrawingTool.java:456)
         at java.awt.Component.setLocation( Component.java:1705)
         at java.awt.Window.init( Window.java:289)
         at java.awt.Window.<init>( Window.java:318)
         at java.awt.Frame.<init>( Frame.java:419)
         at java.awt.Frame.<init>( Frame.java:384)
         at javax.swing.JFrame.<init>( JFrame.java:150)
         at apcslib.DrawingTool.<init>( DrawingTool.java:45)
         at apcslib.DrawingTool.<init>( DrawingTool.java:106)
         at JumpingJacks.main( JumpingJacks.java:35)
    So I thought, maybe I'm not importing the JAR files correctly. But if I import gsdraw.jar or a different apcslib.jar that I downloaded from some random teacher's website on the internet (and that also happens to have DrawingTool in it) then it compiles and runs fine. So I thought, ok, maybe it's a problem with this one particular apcslib.jar that I transferred from my Windows computer. But like I said, DrawHouse and JumpingJacks run fine on my windows comp, and most ridiculous of all, I tried running Tasmania on my Macbook (which uses the FileInput class from your apcslib.jar) and THAT works fine! So to recap, I'm not importing the JAR files wrong and at times there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the apcslib.jar you gave us and probably not anything wrong with my IDE, seeing that importing of other JAR files works fine (I'm using eclipse and/or xcode, and the same problem occurs with both). Now of course, I could just go ahead and use the apcslib that I downloaded from the internet, but it's very inconvenient since it doesn't match your own apcslib's contents (for example, it doesn't have FileInput). By the way, I've also tried adding the JARS directly to the Java Extensions instead of importing them as external JARS, but that doesn't solve the problem. I've also attached the apcslib.jar in case you think that it's somehow corrupted or something....
    Do you have any idea about what could be wrong or where I should go from here?
    Thanks for all your help!
    Bryan Huh

    Thanks for the reply, but if it is a problem with how
    I'm using DrawingTool, then shouldn't it run with
    errors on my Windows comp too?Maybe, maybe not. If you're doing something that's correct on one but not the other - using file names for Windows on Linux Mac), for instance.
    The same EXACT source
    code will compile and run fine on my Windows comp,
    but run with errors on my Macbook. And if it's a bug
    with DrawingTool, then shouldn't my Windows comp also
    encounter the problem and run with errors?No. the DT programmer could have done the same thing, using code that's correct on Windows but not on Linux. Or there could be a difference in the Java versions on the couputers and code that's valid in the later version is failing in the earlier, or vice versa.

  • HT3131 Are there any ventilation issues with running a macbook air in clamshell mode?

    Are there any ventilation issues with running a macbook air in clamshell mode?

    ...that makes sense to me. 
    but, why do so many MBA users (on this forum and others) claim that ventilation occurs through the keyboard?  Is this claim based on an old macbook design?
    for example, here's a related discussion (although fairly old):

    Re: Is it safe to use MBP with screen lid closed? Leave charge on always?
    1. Closing the cover will cause more heat. This is not because of covering the keyboard very much (though it does help some heat be retained). It's mainly because of the shape of the hinge and the fact when closed it covers up the back vent a lot more. For the best cooling, it is best to have the screen open. Just run it as a dual monitor, but make the external the Primary monitor, and if you don't want to use the built in, just turn its backlight off and don't use it.
    2. The thing you plug into the wall is not a battery charger. The actual "charger" is built into the computer. It knows when to charge and when not to. If the little light on the power plug is amber, then its charging your battery. When its green, its just powering the laptop and NOT charging your battery at all.

    Re: Is it safe to use MBP with screen lid closed? Leave charge on always?
    I'd leave the lid open, at least partially...yes it may be fine not doing that, but you are making heat dissipate worse, of course could even theoretically hurt the screen.
    As for the battery...well there's really only two choices, have it plugged in or not. As others mentioned, you can't overcharge the battery. It can be damaged a bit from heat, but of course the number one thing that's going to damage it is discharging it...so it's a no brainer-use it plugged in whenever possible, and try to charge it whenever possible when it's not plugged in.

    Nope. Apple would disagree with you on that one. Any "closure", which is, when compared to the amount of CFM, is insignificant. In fact, the opening size remains the same. it is only deflected at a slight angle when the lid is closed. Tilt your MBP and see. As well, shutting down the display lowers the heat being generated, even in the lower case. As I said, if it were a problem, Apple would not be selling stands designed to operate your unit in the closed position as the original poster of this thread proposes to do.

  • Problem with Java and Windows (Mainly Vista and UAC)

    Hi all,
    I am having a problem with a program that I've devoloped. The program itself is packaged as a jar and I plan to deploy it across multiple platforms eventually however right now i am only concerned about windows based systems. I have made an installer for a windows baised systems using NSIS to install the software files. I made the installer as I need several java packages to be installed so the program would work (JAI, J3D, JAI ImageIO) and I also require the program to have fileassociations on windows.
    I know that this is not what java is about, however the majority of the users will be on windows baised systems so I've decided that OS specific installers is the best option.
    During the process I have noticed that there are several key problem with java for this type of application!
    The first issue that I have come across is getting file associations to work on java. As a .jar is not an excutable it is not possible to directly associate a filetype with it in java so to overcome this I currently run the program from a .bat files and also the program requires large memory so this also allows me to run the program with -xmx. The batch file that I use is :
    <code>
    cd PATH TO PROGRAM
    start javaw -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmn100M -Xms500M -Xmx1000M -jar "PATH TO PROGRAM\program.jar" %1 -vram 134217728
    pause;
    </code>
    Ok so all this appears to work fine and allows windows to have file associations and start the program and thats all works perfectly but this is a non-ideal solution. Has anyone got any advice on improving this?
    The next problem that I have appears to be a problem with Vista and UAC (user access control). When a user installs the program and installs the program into the program files directory I found that the program did not work and kept saying that I did not have access to the files in the current directory. This is a problem as I read and write settings files during program execution.
    On a Vista system UAC prevents file write operations into the Program Files directory unless the program has requested elevated status even if the user is a full administrator. The probem is that there appears to be no real way to achieve this under java that I'm aware of...
    Has anyone else had this probem and has a suitable solution?
    Any advice on these issues would realy be appricated.
    Regards
    Joey

    Ok so i've kinda found a solution, its not ideal but its very good. I found this program called Elevate
    A link to the site I got it was
    http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/03/27/elevate-a-process-at-the-command-line-in-vista.aspx
    This program allows you start java with a UAC dialog for high access using
    Elevate java -jar myjar.jar
    This then allows you to have full access using java... I guess it could be dangerous but it does the job.

  • Problem with java swing button and loop

    Problem with java swing button and loop
    I�m using VAJ 4.0. and I�m doing normal GUI application. I have next problem.
    I have in the same class two jswing buttons named start (ivjGStart) and stop (ivjGStop) and private static int field named Status where initial value is 0. This buttons should work something like this:
    When I click on start button it must do next:
    Start button must set disenabled and Stop button must set enabled and selected. Field status is set to 1, because this is a condition in next procedure in some loop. And then procedure named IzvajajNeprekinjeno() is invoked.
    And when I click on stop button it must do next:
    Start button must set enabled and selected and Stop button must set disenabled.
    Field status is set to 0.
    This works everything fine without loop �do .. while� inside the procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno(). But when used this loop the start button all the time stay (like) pressed. And this means that a can�t stop my loop.
    There is java code, so you can get better picture:
    /** start button */
    public void gStart_ActionEvents() {
    try {
    ivjGStart.setEnabled(false);
    ivjGStop.setEnabled(true);
    ivjGStop.setSelected(true);
    getJTextPane1().setText("Program is running ...");
    Status = 1;
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    /** stop button */
    public void gStop_ActionEvents() {
    try {
    ivjGStart.setEnabled(true);
    ivjGStart.setSelected(true);
    ivjGStop.setEnabled(false);
    getJTextPane1().setText("Program is NOT running ...");
    Status = 0;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    /** procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno() */
    public void IzvajajNeprekinjeno() {  //RunLoop
    try {
    int zamik = 2000; //delay
    do {
    Thread.sleep(zamik);
    PreberiDat(); //procedure
    } while (Status == 1);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    So, I'm asking what I have to do, that start button will not all the time stay pressed? Or some other aspect of solving this problem.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Tomi

    This is a multi thread problem. When you start the gui, it is running in one thread. Lets call that GUI_Thread so we know what we are talking about.
    Since java is task-based this will happen if you do like this:
    1. Button "Start" is pressed. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    2. Event gStart_ActionEvents() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    3. Method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    4. Sleep in method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() on thread GUI_Thread
    5. Call PreberiDat(). Thread running: GUI_Thread
    6. Check status. If == 1, go tho 4. Thread running: GUI_Thread.
    Since the method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() (what does that mean?) and the GUI is running in the same thread and the event that the Start button has thrown isn't done yet, the program will go on in the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method forever and never let you press the Stop-button.
    What you have to do is do put either the GUI in a thread of its own or start a new thread that will do the task of the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method.

  • I have a problem with Java and an e-procurement system integrating

    I use an e-procurement system at work and yesterday I could not get my parts list from the suppliers web site to display in our in-house eprocurment finance package.
    There is not a problem with the finance package. There is not a problem with the suppliers web site. I have verified both of these by other colleagues being able to complete what I am trying to do.
    The difference between my version of Firefox and my colleagues' is that I am on version 6.0.1 and they are on 6.0.
    I have had problems with Java not displaying certain animations on the suppliers web site but, my colleague does not and I am suspicious that this is the problem. Can anyone verify this please and what can I do about it. My Java updates are up-to-date as of yesterday and are automatic.
    Thanks.

    I was quite amazed I never got a reply to this, in the past people here have been helpful. In any case I was finally able to enter this website on the exceptions list in the Java panel, and I believe it is okay  now.

  • I am having a problem with my 2009 Macbook Pro

    Hello Everyone,
    I am having a problem with my 2009 Macbook Pro .  A few weeks ago I plugged it into the charger after running it down to reserve battery power. It appeared to be charging, but then all of a sudden my clock and calender reset to year 2000 and then my computer blacked out and went dead. I tried to boot it up but nothing happened (literally nothing).   I have tried 3 different chargers on it, but all I get is a faint green light and even after hours it still won't boot up.   I have tried replacing the battery, but still nothing happens.
    Any Ideas?  I am pretty desperate to get my computer back up and running before school finals.

    You may have to see if an authorized Apple service specialist can check over
    the charging system (magsafe dc-in board, power adapter, and MacBook/Pro)
    and test or run a diagnostic on it, to be sure there is no damage or failed parts.
    When you attached the adapter to charge the computer, after it said it was going
    to reserve power, did you shut down open applications and stop using the MB/Pro?
    That would've been the thing to do, since the margin of run-time near the bottom
    of the power cycle can be wrong by the gauge estimate, it can just quit.
    While I have not researched your year/model/series in detail, I do know some
    models of Apple portable computers have a small battery or capacitor on the
    logic board, separate from the main power battery; it may need replacement.
    A service provider w/ Apple training & parts would be a likely resource to fix it.
    Good luck & happy computing!
