After Java patch 1.7.0_07 ENable applet plug-in and Web start checkbox is gone!

Hello all,
Using ML 10.8.1 and Safair 6.0
After Java patch 1.7.0_07 ENable applet plug-in and Web start checkbox is gone! The check box to enable Safari to load Java pages is 100% gone, missing, just not there anymore.
When I go to the Java test page it shows that I have Java 7 loaded. Has anyone else run into this problem or have a solution to enable true load loading in Safari and bring back the Enable applet plug-in and Web Start application check box in ML...
Thanks

I found out something very interesting. I noticed that another page would show up for less than have a second before the ML Java Preference would show up. I did a video recording of this and moved frame by frame. I show that the page / pane showing up had the following option:
Run applets: in their own process
within their browser process
Both boxes for the two are unchecked.
Then this page would disappear and nother would show up without the option / check box
Enable applet plugin and Web Start applications
Strange

Looking for a good Javascript to let me know if the "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is disabled or enabled within Java Preferences?

If this code could work on Snow Leopard as well, that would be awesome. I have a code to tell if Java is enable or disabled on any web browser, but it does not detect if the Java Preferences "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is enabled or disabled. Just looking for a specific code to tell if this option is disabled or enabled.
Thank you

Launch Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app by double-clicking.
EDIT; But I think you are confusing this with JavaScript which has nothing to do with it.

How can I enable java applet plug-in and Web Start applications via terminal?

Since the last Java update to Snow Leopard, I have found that the system periodically disables the Java applet plug-in after a period of disuse. I know I can go to /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and just click to re-enable Java. But I want to write a script which will do this periodically for a couple hundred Mac users where I work.
My question is - how can I reenable the Java applet plug-in and web start applications via Terminal command? Is this possible? Is there a plist file that can be modified, etc.?

It is my understanding that Apple's most recent Java update automatically disables Java after a certain period of time that it hasn't been used. We don't want users to have to keep re-enabling it. So we wanted to find a way to do this via script either run by a Casper JSS server or stored locally on each workstation.   With the guidance provided by Mark Jalbert above and some text from a script written by Rich Trouton, I was able to make a script (with some minor changes) and a launch agent to re-run the script upon login. So the preference is always enabled.
For your reference, the script content is:
#!/bin/sh
# DYNAMICALLY SET THE UUID FOR THE BYHOST FILE NAMING
if [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` == "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c51-62 | awk {'print tolower()'}`
elif [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` != "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-62`
fi

No option to Enable the Java applet plug-in and Web Start applications

How do I Enable the Java applet plug-in and Web Start applications
Their is no option under java preferences General Tab
The options i get their are
     Run appelts
          in their own proccess
          Within the browser process
          (Defaut most compatible)
Under the network tab im told
By default java applets and web start applications use network settings in the system network preferences. Only advanced users should modify these settings
Any ideas on why it is like this?

Mac OS 10.6.8
This happend once before when I was running 10.5.8 I fixed it but for the life of me i can't remember how i did it.

Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start functionality - Chrome

I have recently upgraded my work MBA to OSX 10.9.1 and need to use the Chrome browser to access several work sites. These work sites also need Java to run. I have followed the below procedures:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
and
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5559
When I check Java version in Terminal, I get:
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
However, when I follow the instructions from the second link, the response to the second command (sudo mv /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/disabled) yields the following response:
mv: rename /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/disabled/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin: Not a directory
In http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572, it indicates that "On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle". How do I get the Java SE 6 applet plug-in back to use in Chrome?
Thanks.

No thoughts on this? The application of interest is IBM GERS.
Additionally, I have to use Juniper Network Connect to access work network when travelling away from the office and it is not working either after Mavricks upgrade.
Thanks.

Issue with Default Variable in WAD after Java Patch 7.01.7.31

Hello all,
I'm running into an issue with the Web Application Designer Template execution for a particular default variable. This started occuring after Java Patch 7.01.7.31 we had implented over the weekend.
The issue is when Executing the WAD Template, we have a selection screen with a variable with default values assigned to it. When leaving the default values and hitting Ok to execute through the screen does not register and stays as is and I get a message at the top with the following: Characteristic Prob % Number has no master data for "1.00" or you do not have authorization.
This only seems to occur for this default variable on info object Prob % Number, the other default variables seem to work fine. Also another note when clearing out the values it returns data and executes through. The value 1.00 is also a valid value in the cube and also in the output display. If we run this report in the BEx analyzer, the selection screen executes through with the default variable perfectly fine, this is only an issue with the Web Application Designer Template.
Has anyone ran into this? I've searched and have not found any notes as of yet.
Thank you,
-Andy

Dear Andy,
Please raise this to SAP, seems like a strange problem this needs to be addressed by OSS note only.
Close this thread once you get a solution.
Regards.

I can watch all of my old TV shows on iTunes, but the last one I downloaded jammed up after about one minute. I tried quitting I-tunes and re-starting my computer to no avail. iTunes won't even let me delete it so I can try downloading it again.

Query Functionalities affected after Java patch application 20

Hi ,
We applied Java Patch 20 to our Development System.After this application we are getting Error in running the Bookmarks,error while creating complex formula and the functionalities like Back to Start,Back one Navigational Step are not working properly in BI 7.0 Queries.
Thanks & Regards,
Jackie

We have run with this patch for a long time now and have never encountered an issue like this.
Are you using JInitiator or the Java Plugin (recommended)?
Have you tried clearing the JAR cache on the client? Your FMB's also might be corrupted somehow - have you tried rebuilding them on a Developer Suite with the exact same patch level as the Application Server?
You could also try the new super-merge patch 7703734, which supersedes the previous super-merge 7482020, and see if that helps in any way.
If that doesn't help, you should log an SR on Metalink and get Support to help you solving this.
Hope this helps,
Jacob

After making a phone call, I went to make another and all my contacts were gone. How can i get them back?

I made one phone call this morning and after hanging up i went to the contacts library and all my contacts were gone. I have unfortunately not got a backup (this isn't my phone its for a friend) and so I have no backup of my contacts. I have already tried importing contacts from the sim but only a very small few contacts are on the sim so im still missing over 90% of my contacts. How can i fix this? This phone is an iphone 4s running ios 7

nope just set it to do so for future purposes but i have no recorded backup of any contacts

After numerous display problems with version 5 affecting my job's web site, I've gone back to 3.6.18. Any dangers in this?

My workplace's web site was recently redesigned and launched and with more recent versions of Firefox [including 5] I had both display and functionality problems I hadn't had before and that aren't happening with IE8. Everything from wrong colors to scroll bars in editing text boxes that wouldn't work unless you toggled to full page view and back, to excessively constrained columns on the main portal page. Two support people at our web site company told me they still used 3.6.18 so I uninstalled 5 and went back to 3.6.18. Some colors are still wrong [I tried the troubleshooting suggestions for that to no avail] but at least the functionality problems are gone. Firefox has been my preferred browser for several years now, but I worry about the ramifications of using such an older version.

Going all the way back to Firefox 3.0.5 is shear foolishness, it is 14 security versions behind the last 3.0.19 release. And that version is missing at least a dozen security updates that were applied to the 3.5 and 3.6 versions after support for 3.0.x ended.
If you are not happy with Firefox 4, you should have installed Firefox 3.6.17. That is very similar to the 3.0 and has all the security fixes that have been released since support for Firefox 3.0.x ended last year.

Applet Plug-in and Caching GIF files

In the Plug-in 1.4 release notes, it says that the Plug-in will cache GIF files and other non-JAR files. Are there instructions or documentation how to get the Plug-in to cache files other than JAR files? I couldn't find anything when perusing the 1.4 documentation.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

The document you point to explains caching JAR files in 1.3. Can I also cahce GIF files the same way? Does the plug-in caching mechanism work with any file type? If I cache a GIF file, how to I reference that in my code so the Applet uses the cached version instead of the one on the server, or does it implicitly know this?
Thanks for any insight.

Java 7 Update 21 and Web Start Install Java Extension problem

Hi,
We've been running WebStart with Java 7 update 17 for several months. Late last month we updated to Java 7 update 21. Since this update, we're seeing 14 additional dialogs when the application is launched. Dialogs are Install Java Exception, do you want to install the following software? and then lists a jar file. I've verified that all JAR and JNLP files are signed with a trusted CA.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there away to suppress these additional dialogs?
Thanks,
Terry

I have just found that the use of uppercase/lowercase has changed in 7U21.
We have been running with the codebase notation like this: codebase="http://SERVER:port/folder/file.jnlp" since Java 1.4.2
In 7U21 I get a dialog pr. jar.
If I change to: codebase="http://server:port/folder/file.jnlp " the dialogs are not shown.

After initial backup, do you just leave it plugged in and running all the time?

Initial backup was successful, but not sure about what to do nest. Just leave time capsule running FOREVER?
What if I unplug it? What happens to saved data?

There just might be a reason why Apple did not even include an "Off" switch on the Time Capsule, or provide you with a way to turn off the Time Capsule from your computers.
The Time Capsule was designed to left "on".
Nothing will happen to your saved data if you unplug the Time Capsule.....but constantly powering the Time Capsule off and on will place far more stress on the electronics and hard drive than simply leaving it on all the time.
The exception to this might be turning off the Time Capsule if you are away for an extended time.....long weekend, vacation, etc.

Mac OS 10.4.8 , Java Web Start and JRE version of 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 problem

Hello,
I've been searching internet and reading the problems related to Java Web Start and JNLP.
But no solution I read can solve what I faced.
I'm running Mac OS x 10.4.8 and Macintosh updates the Java in my machine so that it has Java version 1.4.2 and Java 1.5.0
The application I'm running needs to be running in JRE 1.4.2.
So I changed the Java Preferences so that the default Java setting is JRE 1.4.2. However, the JNLP application still running in Java 1.5.0
So I changed the MIME and make sure the JNLP is opened with Java Web start instead. The Java Web start is for version 1.4.2. I also change its preference so that the console is opened.
I tried to run the JNLP application once again. Java web start 1.4.2_09 starts and console open, but the Java Runtime is still showing Java 1.5.0
I adjust the JNLP file so that the version is only showing 1.4.2_09 (ignoring all other variables of version 1.4.1, 1.4.2, etc found in the original JNLP file). That didn't work either.
I search on methods on how to uninstall Java 1.5.0 in Mac - apple page told me that I can't do that unless I reinstall the whole OS.
I am henceforth declare that I am stuck now !!!! Heellllpp....

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.
