After installing Java 6 update 11 for OSX 10.6, unable to open .jnlp files.

Appears to download application then quits without an error message. When clicking on the .jnlp file again, nothing happens. I can go into java preferences and remove the application from the cache, but it does the same thing, redownloads the application then doesn't open it.

After doing some research, I found a plugin for Google Chrome that will put current page you are on into an Internet Explorer wrapper with Java 6 installed in it. Its called Rndr and I have tested it on OSX 10.8 and 10.6.8 and it appears to launch any java plugin or .jnlp webstart app in the browser itself.

  • Some pages don't render properly after Java update for OSX 10.6.8

    I can't seem to get T-mobile.com's website pages to render properly anymore. So far, this is the only website I'm having this issue with, though there could be more I'm not aware of.
    I go to www.t-mobile.com and this is what I get:
    I think I might be missing a plug-in, but not sure; if so, I don't know which one or how to get it.
    This only started happening after the latest Java update for OSX 10.6.8, which I installed on Feb. 24, 2013. All of T-mobile's pages look like this, except if I go to www.my.t-mobile.com's home page. Then I get a normal page, but after I log in, I get more wierd rendering issues again. So here's the page that appeared normal today:
    And after I log in successfully, I'm back to the wierd rendering issues again:
    I was so lost but then I decided to try a work around to get my online bill and managed to get it, but I don't want to see the pages like this. So help please?

    So, here's more on my point...
    I put in the 3 captured screen shots in my original post above. I used Grab to copy the web pages, saved them to my desktop as .tiff files and dropped them in for others to view. This morning, I went to look at my post and instead of seeing the screen shots, I see 3 tiny blue boxes with question marks. When I left click on the boxes, nothing happens. When I right click on them, I get options that are not helpful:
    Open Image in New Window
    Open Image in New Tab
    Download Image
    Copy Image Address
    Import Image
    Capture Selection from Screen
    Convert Selected Traditional Chinese Text (why the frack is this an option?)
    Convert Selected Simplified Chinese Text (or this an option?)
    I checked my Safari Preferences and I see I have checked, under Security, Enable plug-ins, Enable Java, Enable JavaScript.I have to have Java enabled to run a few things.
    Did something get corrupted in Safari?
    Am I'm missing some plug-ins?
    How do I get them back?
    I'm going to search the internet. Well, after doing the search, I still don't think I've got what I need. Thinking I might need to reinstall Safari. If this is the case, will I loose all my Bookmarks?

  • Matlab font issues after installing Java Update 2

    Hey everyone,
    I am a scientist and I use the program Matlab to prepare plots for papers, presentations, etc. I am already a little annoyed that when running matlab on mac there are issues of text content cut off in the figures. More importantly after the java update 2 the matlab font looks HUGE. If you change the font setting, it will look normal, but sometimes shift the text. Does anyone know how to fix this? Matlab provided a fix for the R2008 version, but nothing for the R2007 version. This program is so important to me and my work, I may have to move back to Microsoft or Linux in order to have MatLab produce the plots I need.
    Please let me know if there is an efficient way to fix this problem.
    Thanks,
    Casey

    Hi clamarche,
    I have the same problem on my dual quad-core MacPro after updating Java to Java Update 3. All of my font settings were reset. However when I change the font from 12 pt to say 10pt the cursor moves as if the 12 pt font is still used so it does not line up with any characters once a few characters into the line.
    I have tried removing all of my preferences and global matlab preferences, but no luck. I have not applied the Java Update 3 to my 17" MacBookPro as to avoid this problem. What version of Matlab are you using? I have R2007b.
    As for text being cut-off from your plots, I have found a small but important note to do with the '-r' option for the print command. On the Mac OS X platform, for some unknown reason you should always set the resolution to '-r72'. This has fixed the problem for me. I had the same problem when saving figures as png's that were to be used later to make an animation. All of the scaling was funny until I set the resolution to 72.
    I am hoping that I can find as solution. Maybe clearing the Java preferences, where ever they may be.
    Regards ...

  • After the last update for OSX 10.9.5, I get messages stating that I need to re-install the update because it did not install properly - How do I do this

    On September 24, I got a message from the App Store saying there was an update of the Operating System on my MacBookPro laptop - OS X 10.9.5 - once I updated it, I got a message saying that there was an error in the update and that it did not install properly and that I should re-install the update.  I have no idea how to do this.  Can anyone help me?

    You can manually download the Combo update if in doubt of the integrity of the OS 10.9.5
    install on top of what you have, backups are always a good idea.

  • Can't install Java update for OS X 10.6

    I'm totally lost and need help.
    I have a MacBook Pro, OS x 10.6. I have downloaded/tried to install every version of Java update available, and my system won't let me install.
    This is the error message: "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later."
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

    You need to update your os to 10.6.8, repair permissions after the installation and restart your computer when done.  Then you should be able to install all the other updates from Software Update.  If you have a lot which I imagine you do, install 2 at a time.  After all the installations are done repair permissions and restart your computer.

    Why will Applets not run after getting Java through Apple Software Update?
    Apple disables the Java plug-in and Webstart applications when the Java update is done using Software Update. Also, if the Java plug-in detects that no applets have been run for an extended period of time it will again disable the Java plug-in.
    To enable the Java plug-in
    Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.
    In the Java Preferences window check the box for Enable Applet plug-in and Webstart applications.

    I DO NOT have Mac version 10.7.3 (Lion) or higher. How do I get Java for other Mac versions?
    For Java versions 6 and below, Apple supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Apple's Java for your Mac.
    I DO have Mac version 10.7.3 (Lion) or higher.
    Users of Lion Mac OS X 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 should upgrade to 10.7.3 or later versions via Software Update, so you can get the latest Java 7 version from Oracle.
    Download page here:
    https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp#mac
    Why is Java 7 available only for Mac OS X 10.7.3 and above?
    The Java Runtime depends on the availability of an Application programming interface (API). Some of the API were added in Mac OS X 10.7.3. Apple has no plans to make those API available on older versions of the Mac OS.

  • I have installed the update for Itunes, when restarting it Itunes said a file was missing, I uninstalled it and downloaded it again and the same thing happened... Any clue what to do????

    I have no clue why I keep getting this message, I downloaded and installed it three different times and still getting a message that a file or something is missing. My husband had no problem with his up date for Itunes. Any thoughts as to what to do???

    What's the precise text of the message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected

    After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected.
    Windows of Swing apps don't display all GUI elements.
    After replacing System/Library/Java from a Time MAchine Backup, everything works normal again.
    Is this update corrupted?

    "avoid using Java in a web browser at all,..."
    Good advice.
    "...old Java apps/applets that aren't written to modern specs ..."
    The stand-alone Java Swing applications, that don't display their GUI elements after installing this update, have been written according to modern standards. With Oracle Java7, and with Java6 from Apple prior to this update, they run absolutely flawlessly.
    This is absolutely Apple's fault.

  • OSX cannot boot-up after installing Security Update 2008-008

    Hi Everyone.
    I'm using a MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 3GB RAM with Tiger 10.4.11.
    After installing Security Update 2008-008, my OSX was not able to boot-up. The screen shows the Apple Logo and the spinning grey gear wheel. It stayed that way for several hours.
    I finally switched it off and re-installed OSX 10.4.8 using the Start-up disk that came with my MacPro.
    Now I've updated the OSX, all the software & updates EXCEPT Security Update 2008-08. My MacPro works fine now.
    Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
    Sincerely,
    Azman

    Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
    Probably not directly. Very likely something was not quite right on your computer before the update and the update happened to exacerbate that. A number of people feel that optimizing the maintenance of your computer before doing the update and doing the update under controlled conditions minimizes problems.
    There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
    I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
    Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility.
    You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
    I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
    Repair permissions again afterward.
    It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
    Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

  • MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

    Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
    I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
    Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
    I appreciate your responses and help.
    By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

    Kappy wrote:
    Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
    Hi Kappy,
    Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
    As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

  • Latest Feb 19, 2013 Java update for 10.6 breaks Safari 5.1.7

    Hi people, long time viewer first time poster here. I wasn't sure on how to contact apple in regards to their latest Java update on the 19th February 2013, so I thought I post it here and see if others have the same problem.
    So, I'm running the following:
    Java SE 6 (Java 1.6.0_41-b02-445)
    Safari 5.1.7
    Mac OSX 10.6.8
    When I try to load http://www.uk.msn.com (which is also my homepage) my browser freezes and I can't load any other page. This results in me have to quit Safari and sometimes force quit.
    I know it is the recent Java update because when I disable Javascript the website works fine and I can interact with it. As soon as I turn Javascript back on, the issue occurs again. Obviously turning Javascript off is a work around for now, but I require it for work etc.
    I have done a permissions repair which doesn't fix anything.
    Could others try the link and let me know what happens please? All OSX versions are welcome to see whether it is just the 10.6.8 OSX or spans to 10.7 and later.
    Also, does anybody know where I can report this issue to Apple, or do I just ring them up and tell them?
    Many thanks.

    I also have 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.7, and the most recent Java update. I can access the MSN site through the link you provided but, on returning to Apple Discussions, got a 60-second stall before Safari would work right again. Yes, it very well could be the site.
    The only Safari 5.x crashes I've had came after a Java update 12-18 months ago. I had repaired permission both before and after the update but the crash log showed a number of dlink files with question marks instead of version numbers. Another repair permission restored function and I've had no further crashes. So I always repair permissions before any subsequent Java update that's offered and twice after. For what ever reason, it seems to keep me going.
