Hello,
Can anyone help me with this? I upgraded to Yosemite, and now I can't launch Illustrator because it says I need Java SE 6 runtime in order to open it. But that version is not available anywhere, not on Apple's website and not on Oracle's. I did install the latest version of Java, but that didn't solve the problem. Apparently Illustrator (and I assume all of the creative cloud apps) require version 6? Any input is appreciated, this is SO frustrating ...yes. but if you follow that link and click on "download" you get an Apple message that says "We're sorry. We can't find the page you're looking for." That was the first thing I tried. Any other ideas?

Calibrating the battery is always a good option. It is far too soon for battery life to drop down as much as you mentioned. Once you do the calibration see what happens and if there are no improvements get applecare to send you a new one.

What if I need to reinstall Java?
I made the mistake of trusting a Java applet and the site downloaded a .jar which apparently corrupted the " javaws cache". I went into the java cache and deleted the items that were installed and no longer get the error but I am concerned that i don't have a complete java...
Do I need to reinstall Java?
Where do I get the latest Java for Leopard????
thanks!Thank you for your time to answer my question... the problem is that the reference you posted is java for Apple OSX 10.4 only....
Is there a java for 10.5 out there? Is it in the Leopard install disk? How do I get to it? thanks so much! -
So anything LEGACY means it is probably not supported and chocked full of security issues.
what JAVA flavor do I need to install?
WHat do I do ?
I have a lot of work to do...
thanks in advanceHi,
Try this:
Download Java for Mac OS X 2014-001 from http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572.
Install the Java update using the downloaded .dmg file.
When installation is complete, a Software Update dialog box appears. The dialog box asserts that Java SE 6 Runtime is required to run Adobe Illustrator CS6.
In the Software Update dialog box, click Install.
Launch Illustrator.
In Adobe Illustrator CS6 some plug-ins has dependency on Java, therefore Java is required for them to function properly.
With Best Regards,
Raghuveer -
Hi, I have a MAC (version 10.10.2) and installed Creative Suite one year ago. Now I want to open the Illustrator, but it does not work. It says I should install old Java SE 6-Runtime-Version to open „Adobe Illustrator CS6“. Where can I find it? Thanks for your answer! Jana

I installed OS Yosemite and I got the following message "The Photo Library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. I clicked Updgrade, but it has been two days and it hasn't been able to upgrade my library and none of my picture are showing. Don't know what to do. Please help.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Install applications after install of Yosemite 10.10.2
I erased my HD with disk utility and then did a fresh install of Yosemite. Now when I try to install the programs I had previously, legal/licensed programs or even just a basic install like Firefox downloaded from the Internet, the install fails. The installer eventually goes to not responding in Activity Monitor. I never get prompted to agree to AUPs or anything. I was able to install iPhoto from the App Store, but all other install attempts for things like Adobe Reader, Java etc.. all fail.
I was able to install Firefox and Photomatix Pro by "dragging to the Application" folder.
I did notice in System settings - Security and Privacy that Apps downloaded from is set to App Store and Identified Developers, this should be good. But I also clicked the lock icon and it just says Authenticating. I should be prompted to put in the administrators password.
What is stopping me from installing basic applications like Adobe Reader?thank you for the quick reply Glenn.
I did do the permissions repair, but failed to restart. I should have known that needed to be done. Thanks again! -
My Ipad3 is very slow after installing 8.02 and needs a hard reset every 2 minutes.
Hello Community,
I had a wonderful running Ipad3 32gb running on IOS7, now after installing IOS8.02 this device is slow (e.g. Safari) and needs a restart (hard reset) every to minutes because it freezed up. I´m quite unhappy. I tried to stop processes and have a enough free space on the disk. Nothing helped.
I can´t imagine that you beta-tested IOS8 on the IPAD3?
Any solution by Apple?(A) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(B) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings -

Dec 13, 2014, 04:05:36 AM Self test - passedHowdy.
Thanks for the replies. For what it's worth, a simple reboot, the first post install, resulted in a "i'm installing something" status bar (the grey screen with the dark grey status bar)" Now it's faster. So sorry about that - I guess I just wasn't done, although Apple maybe should have forced one more restart? Small thing.
In the new report below, there are still two [invalid?]. One is cardo - that's my headset for my motorcycle com. I don't know why it says it's invalid - it works, when I have it installed with a USB cord. The [invalid?] com.google.GoogleContactSyncAgent.plist is weird. I can't find a good article on what to do about that, but since it's not that slow anymore, maybe I'll downprioritize.
Thanks for your responses.

Need to reinstall Java over and over again
Hello -
I have a desktop mac running OS 10.8.3. Recently, I needed to reinstall the OS and went thru all the updates, including Java 2013-003 1.0.
One of my backup apps (CrashPlan Pro) needs java to work and after the OS reinstall/updates, CrashPlan would randomly stop working, After going thru some troubleshooting with the developer, the only solution appeared to be reinstalling the Java update. Unfortunately, this problem happens often - sometimes once a day, and every time I restart my Mac. Curiously, the Java control panel is still present in system prefences - so java is present on my mac despite the problem with CrashPlan.
Even weirder, if I check with software update when the CrashPal problem occurs, it reports the Java 2012-003 1.0 update to be available to be installed on my mac - so it seems like the OS doesn't even know it is installed.
I'm about ready to reinstall my OS - anyone have other suggestions first???
Thanks -Download the latest Java 7. and see how that gets along with your backup. I'm reading that CPPro is Java 7 compatible.

plugin-container crashes and hangs many times daily all my time eaten up by upgrading too frequently to new Ffox versions, only to find that I must then spend a whole day jumping thru hoops upgrading almost all of my add-ons too.
I now find, to my horror, that the hideous virus-magnet IE 8 is needed if I want to surf at a reasonable speed and not spend all day dealing with Ffox new versions' Known Issues. Only good thing I have seen about ver. 3.6.15 is slightly better launch-times. Since 3.6 cane out, I must spend 10 minutes just waiting for Firefox to load and give me a browser screen. Help! I love you guys, but your core browser developers need to have better comms with the Javaa/flash/Adobe and other must-have add-on people! And PLEASE fix all these "plugin-container" crashes and hangs I get, that lock my machine for 10-15 min at a time. Not everybody has 16 gigs of RAM, you know! I think the "plugin-container" running as a separate process idea might need to be COMPLETELY re-engineered! YOU CAN DO IT! LET'S GET BACK TO LEAN AND MEAN, and not bloat ourselves off our hard-won User Preference / great security pedestal with the kind of feature-creep that IS DEMOLISHING IE's slave-userbase with the hard-won advanced-user preference for Firefox
and our core values. FAST-LEAN-SECURE.
Where have they gone? I LOVE Firefox
and all it stands for! Let's not trip
over our own features here. Already I
see SeaMonkey and leaner, faster
browsers hot on our heels, THIN and
FAST! Firefox doesn't need to integrate
with EVERY thru-the-browser media tool
on the planet! I've been writing code
since 1968, and I can't imagine how a
lesser-experienced user (that code
should be written for) could possibly
have navigated all the side-upgrades
and Known Issues to make Firefox run as
sweetly as it used to! He'd just give
up when he finds he has to separately
find and install the EXACT 3rd-party
version that Firefox needs for its
newest release: things like a new Java
runtime environment, and hunt down and
correctly install ALL the Flaming-Phox-
compatible buggy plugins from half the
browser-media warezmakers on the
PLANET! He'd give up halfway thru trying to navigate to, D/L, and install
what he needs from Oracle Java, Adobe,
Flash, media players and their codecs,
etc etc.... WRITE FOR THE NOOBS! As it
is, I have invested 2 full workdays in
just keeping your last 2 quick releases
happy. And having another release spaced only 3-4 days apart from the
last- well, that just doesn't fly.
Better to release a hotfix or patch that a user can set FFox to automatically D/L and self-install on
schedule. Just look! Now you've got me
talking like that lawbreaking swine
Gates! We want to keep on absorbing
the average-user center and take it ALL
away from him, not go on feature,
plugin, and upgrade-bloating the best
browser EVER!
You're facing choices that can kill
us! PLEASE DONT BLOAT! AND PLEASE ONLY
RELEASE A NEW VER WHEN YOU CAN REALLY
GET RID OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND MAKE
HER FASTER AND LEANER AND BETTER UNDER
THE HOOD! Already the Noobs are getting
mindlessly scared when you talk about
"fixing a Security problem"- really a
minor issue that SHOULD be taken care
of by their antimalware solution- in
the Release Notes splash screen they
get on install of a new ver! Thanks, my
friends, for all your work, and YES I
WILL sit here all day trying to find
the add-ons that need to be selected,
downloaded, and upgraded from 10
different 3rd-party sites who are
fighting our browser, not dancing with
it! DON'T EVEN LOOK Evil! But I have
to confess that at this point, Gates-hate is all that keeps me on
these all-day new-release tasks. Even
my best techs are starting to advise me
to install SeaMonkey or another of the
newer, thinner browsers... or just stop
upgrading Firefox and roll it back to
when it was sharp, fast, and lean! Look
at all the users wanting to go back to
3.6.13 or earlier and looking for archives of old versions. THANKS AND
GOOD LUCK! I'LL DIE BEFORE I GIVE UP ON
MY BELOVED FIREFOX!
-The CRASHMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAWThanks! I've already used the built-in plugin checker but it gives very vague answers like (research this" and update this" all of which I did, starting with Java and Flash, Adobe Reader, Shockwave, 100% reinstall of Java newest ver. TWICE- but FFox keeps reporting that I only have the FORMER version installed, although when I go to Java console or Check the Flash executable at the MFR's site, there is NO doubt that the updates were successful!
But the browser just seems to refuse to acknowledge the update!
And I don't HAVE 6 hrs/day at the 'puter just to play with add-ons
and plugups. So I'm going down the line now, ripping out extension
programs and replacing/reinstalling/updating the plugins one by
one- even went to M$ to get advice on THEIR For-Firefox ActiveX
stuff. No dice so far. And yeah, The plugin-container WAS made so
that a plugin, add-on or I guess extension app failure wouldn't take
the whole FF browser down with it if the 3rd-party ware crashed. It's supposed to shake it off and go on, kinda like how XP sometimes
restarts Explorer (not the IE browser) so I don't have to reboot the
whole sys.
That was the foundation of my remark about stepping back and
re-engineering the whole "Plugin-container" idea, because it seems
to do more harm than good. Maybe that's why the Firefox core
engine won't recognize my upgrades- for example I TWICE installed the Flash update to 10.2.xx (latest ) and the Flash Mfr's
site verifies my upgrade as a successful 10.2, but Firefox plugins
check say I have a 10.1, the old one. What gives here? The sneaky
PLUGIN CONTAINER, METHINKS!
Now I'm disabling things on the Extensions Apps list, thinking
that might help, like disabling my video downloader and other
download helpers/managers... and I notice that there is a LOT of
Java stuff in there too as well as in the blue Lego Plugins List... and
in the past the FFox always told me if a new version of Ffox was
incompatible with any older 3rd-party app Extensions and notified
me QUICKLY if something I had in there was Outdated. I'm big on
using the neat-o "find updates" button at the bottom if that happens, and usually get a newer version right away. The prob
really lies in the Blue Lego Plugins and their new Container, I
believe.
So Ill still keep Plugin-innin' away! Will post here what success I have! (OR maybe M$ is deliberately sabotaging our ActiveX-cripple
mess as it loads!) Thanks for the suggestions a37271!
FIND UPDATE...FIND UPDATE.. ALL OK..ALL OK.....
