10.6.8 Java not working. "No compatible version of Java 1.5  is available"

Hey Guys
Firstly I would like to thank you for clicking this question and would ask you please if you have a solution to my problem answer whatever you can.  Anyway lets get on with it.
Recently I have been having a problem on my macbook.  I am running 10.6.8 as said in title.  Previously i was having an inactive plugin error going on and the software update said there were no newer versions available.  However when looking for a solution for this by clearing my java cache ect. i somehow ended up with this problem.  Whenever I try to run a java based application such as minecraft it says "Cannot launch "Minecraft" No compatible version of Java 1.5+ is avaiable." Also when from this menu i try to open Java Preferences it says "You can't use this version of the application Java Preferences with this version of Mac Os X.  You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later." I did not download java 1.7 or a different version of Java Preferences outside of the software update.  If you have any idea of what's going on please help me out.  I am struggling to get on with work and games without java even working. 
Thanks for your help

Are you up to date with the updates?
Update for Snow Leopard users:
Apple issued update 12 for Java for OS 10.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
Note:  On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.
If, after installing Java for OS X 2013-002 and the latest version of Java 7 from Oracle, you want to disable Java 7 and re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start functionality, follow these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US
Further update:
Apple issued this Java related security update No. 13 on February 19:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5666
and Update No. 14 on March 4:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5677
The standard recommendation is for users to turn off Java except when they have to use it on known and trusted websites (like their bank). Javascript, which is unrelated despite the name, can be left on.

  • "No compatible version of Java available"

    Getting "no compatible version of java available" when trying to open Vuze.
    Is there no Java support for my Mac OS X 10.6.8. ? Thanks...

    if you cant find a Vuze with a java 6 compatibilty, then you will have to add Java 5 back into your 10.6.8.
    It is not supported by apple so its a bit tricky to do but can be done.  Instructions to do so are posted on the web.... google it.
    I had to do this also because of a java 5 based sofware gui that works with a very expensive rip system... would have cost me about 10k to upgrade inorder work with java 6. 
    When sotware becomes obsolete or unsupported, the manufacturers either don't think or don't care about the very expensive snowball effects that can occur.

  • Xml code not working with new version

    Hi,
    my following code is not working with the xalan 2.7.0 version. Any one can help to convert this to work on new version.
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import org.xml.sax.*;
    import org.apache.xalan.xslt.*;
    public class XML2Edifact
    public static void main(String args[])
    throws SAXException, IOException
    if(args.length < 3)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException(
    "Usage is XML2Edifact in.xml xsl.xsl out.edi");
    InputStream sin = new FileInputStream(args[0]),
    sxsl = new FileInputStream(args[1]);
    OutputStream sout = new FileOutputStream(args[2]);
    EdifactFormatter formatter = new EdifactFormatter(sout);
    XSLTProcessor processor =
    XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor();
    XSLTInputSource in = new XSLTInputSource(sin),
    xsl = new XSLTInputSource(sxsl);
    XSLTResultTarget out = new XSLTResultTarget(formatter);
    processor.process(in,xsl,out);
    }

    Solved, had to repair the Z10 with the PC!  Would have thought that upgrading software would have saved the environment so that this step was not needed (played with this for several weeks on-and-off).

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

    Thanks x

    You can upgrade to iPhoto '11 with OS X 10.8.5 by purchasing an iPhoto '11 DVD from Amazon, eBay or other source - or you can upgrade your OS to Mavericks for free if your system meets the requirements and then purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store - in either case backup first in case of problems

  • Javascript in web.show_doc not works in explorer version 6

    Hi ,
    I've requirements to open form B from form A using URL not call_form (the config parameters are not the same), but when I open form B using web.show_document I end up having the new form opened in a oversized web browser which also shows standard button and address bar.
    To avoid that I tried using the examples I found on OTN, see below:
    I try to run this examples found in OTN but they not work in Explorer version 6.
    1) WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger contains:
    begin
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:window.open("http://www.google.com","","fullscreen=no,titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=yes");self.close()','_blank');
    end;
    2)POST_FORM trigger contains
    web.show_document('Javascript:window.close()','_self');
    Both do nothing and when I exit the form I get an empty black window, this is not acceptable in a production environment.
    The POST-FORM trigger worked well with the pervious release of window explorer.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Frank,
    Many thanks,
    the when-Button-pressed trigger of my Exit button contains the following code:
    DECLARE
    url_txt varchar2(1000);
    BEGIN url_txt := 'http://servername/closing_window.htm';
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(url_txt,'_self');
    END;
    The closing_window.htm is a simple page:
    <html>
    <HEAD>
    <body onLoad="window.close();">
    </html>
    </HEAD>
    Data in my form are already committed when I exit it.
    How to commit is maybe an issue, in fact if I commit before calling the web.show_document the browser is not closed and a black window appears.
    Thanks

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

    Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

    when attempting launch of photoshopcc,I get a box with "could not load the MMX core routines module because it does not work with this version of PS... what does this mean and how do I correct it?

    I did a search on my system and found the Photoshop has a fastcore plug-in.  Creative Cloud includes a subscription version of CS6 version 13.1.2.   I do not know if you installed that or not.  The cc un-install may have done something.  You may need to use Adobe Cleaner then Install The Perpetual CS6 version of Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.6 Mac or Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.1.3 PC and not the subscription CS6 extended version 13.1.2.  Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6   If you need to download the CS6 installer Download CS6 products.
    You may also be able to recover your cs6 using an old system backup

  • SetFocus not working in older versions of Reader (pre version 8)

    I have a form that was created in LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and has the following issue:
    I have used the setFocus method to help the form filler (end user) navigate around the form. It works fine when the end user is viewing the form in Reader version 8 or higher, but it does not work in earlier versions. is there a work around to get similar functionality in earlier versions of Reader.
    Example:
    there is a drop-down list where the user is directed to different fields depending on their answer. it uses the following if expression in the "validate" event:
    if (this.rawValue == 2){
    xfa.host.setFocus(textField1);
    if (this.rawValue == 1) {
    xfa.host.setFocus(DropDownList2);

    Brian,
    One more thing about the setFocus issue:
    I tried my test form on Adobe Reader 6.0.2 and the setFocus worked OK when using the somExpression.
    So adding the somExpression to the setFocus works with Reader 6.0.2 and up, but it did not work with Reader 6.0 or Reader 6.0.1.
    LC Designer 8.2 will let you set the minimum target version in the "Form Properties" "Defaults" tab to 6.0.2, so that may be the lowest version it supports. I did notice that at this 6.0.2 version my other Javascript code does not function; not sure why.
