AppStore submissions fail after Java Update 2012-006 1.0

Dear All.
After running the Java Update 2012-006 1.0 submissions to the app store using XCode Organizer no longer work. Upload fails.
The error message is well known (an error occurred uploading to the itunes store) and it is also known that the error is related to Java as described in this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5783481/an-error-occurred-uploading-to-the-it unes-store - how ever the fixed described there did not work for me.
Uploading the app from a machine which did not run the update worked.
Best

Fixed... Here is what I did.
To start with I had installed Oracles Java 1.7 JDK, which was really messing things up.
Went to Finder>Applications and entered in Search box - JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
Right clicked and removed to trash.
A check in Terminal for Java version still showed Java 1.7
my-imac:~ my$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode)
1. Finder>Computer>Library>Java>JavaVirtualMachines showed the 1.7 SDK (make note of exact name of the Directory name)
Just in case anything went wrong I copied the 1.7 SDK folder to my desktop before doing the next item
2. In terminal type
cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
3. You should now be in that directory
sudo rm -rf jdk1.7.0_06.jdk  (or whatever the exact name of the directory is in step 1.)
You may have to enter your administrator password
The directory should now be deleted and you can verify in Terminal by
java -version
Mine now showed "Java 1.6_xxx"
Went into Xcode Organizer and distributed my app to the iTunes store without a problem. Whoo,hoo!

  • Java update 2012-006 did not remove Java plugin from any browser

    I successfully installed Java update 2012-006 via Software Update on my iMac running OS X Lion 10.7.5 (German) and it updated the Java runtime to version 1.6.0_37 and removed the Java Preferences application as expected, but it did not remove the Java plugin from any browser!
    Safari and Firefox can still use the Java plugin as before.
    I repaired permissions, rebooted, manually downloaded Java update 2012-006 and successfully installed it again without any change to the Java plugin: it is still present on my system and fully functional from any browser!
    The web is full with messages from users missing the Java plugin after installing this update - but I could not find anything about the plugin not being removed!
    Is anyone experiencing the same behaviour under Lion? I thought this would happen only under Snow Leopard...
    What should I do now? Can I really trust this "successfull installation" of Java update 2012-006 on my system?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Thanks - I will keep the symlink in place and I won't touch the Deploy bundle, because I need the plugin in Safari and I don't need Oracle's Java 7 for now...
    If the plugin is supposed to stay in the Deploy bundle, this could help others who miss the plugin - they could just recreate the symlink, right?
    To summarize I think we can state, that the Java update 2012-006 for Lion and Mountain Lion sometimes leaves the symlink in /Library/Internet Plugins/ untouched.
    The circumstances that lead to this behaviour are still unknown.
    The install log in Console shows that the scripts to create links and to delete obsolete files ran okay, but there was an error with the "postinstall" script. In spite of this the installation succeeded:

    Does anybody know what "com.apple.mrt.uiagent" and "com.apple.mrt" stands for?
    Obviously the "postinstall" script provides an invalid argument (at least on my system).
    I have no idea if this is related to the Java Plugin symlink not being removed...

  • Java problem after update 2012-006

    Hi,
    Today was update 2012-006 concerning java. It deinstalls java 6 from your mac. If you want java, you get it from java.com. This is a java 7 version.
    but help: I want to go back!
    there are some web-apps that do not work with this new java-version. Downgrading is not possible, becauase java 6 is only available through mac update itself. And if I want to install this again, it says that a newer version is already installed.
    can anybody hellp me out?

    Today was update 2012-006 concerning java. It deinstalls java 6 from your mac.
    That is not actually correct, according to Apple's documentation of Java for OS X 2012-006:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5549
    It should update Java to 1.6.0_37, which is still Java 6. (Java 7 is 1.7.x.) However, Apple has changed the way Java works. The system now disabled Java by default, and if you turn Java back on, the system will disable it again if you don't use it for a certain period of time. It's also possible that the system will disable Java every time there's an update. (I'm not sure about that, as I don't have Java installed myself, for security reasons.)
    For more information about this, including how to re-enable Java, see Using Java in Mac OS X. You should note, though, that enabling Java in your web browser has become a very risky proposition... Java has more holes in it than Swiss cheese!

  • Java update 2012-003 download is corrupted

    What if Java update 2012-003 can't be installed because download is corrupted?  This has happened four or five times.  Does this mean that Flashback has learned to defend itself from the update?
    Thanks-
    Robin

    Most likely, you have a corrupt hard drive.  To fix that, assuming you are using Lion, restart the computer and hold down command-R at startup.  When it boots into recovery mode, start Disk Utility and use it to repair the hard drive.  Then restart normally and try agian.  If it still fails, you'll need to do some other troubleshooting.
    Also, note that you don't need to download the update manually.  Just run Software Update, and install whichever update is there.  It's possible that, if you're trying to install the wrong update for your machine, you're getting an incorrect error message.

    thank you very much

    Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
    I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
    In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

    Thanks a lot
    Just want to add that I had to edit grub at start up and add "single" at the end of the kernel line.
    The reason is that switching to runlevel 3 didn't work for me.

  • Strange behavior in Preps 5 after Security Update 2012-001

    After installing Security Update 2012-001 this morning, my Save dialog box no longer appears in Preps 5.0. Another iMac running 10.6.8 that was not updated has no problems. Any ideas how to fix this or a workaround?

    Howdy,
    Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
    Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
    Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
    - Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
    Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

  • Live Migration Failed After Yum Update on 2.2.2

    Hi,
    I've live migrated vm's from node2 to node1 (master server). Put node2 into maintenance mode, then reconfigure ntp.conf to sync with our new ntp server. While in maintenance mode, I've also ran yum update which updated the kernel from 2.6.18-128.2.1.4.37.el5xen to 2.6.18-128.2.1.4.44.el5xen. In the process, xen was also updated from 3.4.0-0.1.32.el5 to 3.4.0-0.1.39.el5.
    After rebooting, I've put node2 back into active mode. But now I can't live migrate the vm's back into node 2. From node1, ovs_operations.log:
    "2012-06-23 11:03:28" INFO=> migrate_vm: vm('/OVS/running_pool/1210_vm05') start...

    Is this due to the different xen versions after the update? How can I live migrate the vm's back to node2 so that I can take node1 into maintenance mode to reconfigure ntp.conf and run yum update?
    Thanks!

    The next thing to try is to work though the steps in [[Error loading web sites]]. Though if this is happening on all of your computers it might have something to do with your internet connection. Maybe resetting that will help.

  • Mac App Store Connection Failed After Mavericks Update

    Hi y'all,
    immediately after I updated my Lion to Mavericks (10.9.1), I could not access no more Mac App Store: as I enter my (valid and active) Apple ID credentials, I receive a "Connection Failed" message (in red, in the same login dialog, under the user id field).
    So I've tried to set to "Always Trust" all of my Class 3 Certificates in my Keychain, I removed all of the Mac Appstore plist files (appstore and storeagent), I've also tried to remove the network preferences plist file to reset my network interfaces preferences, I've also deleted the ocsp and crls cache files, and I've setup the ocsp and crls certificates preferences in my Keychain Access to off.
    I obviously checked out my App Store account and it's correct and active - I'm also currently using it on my iPhone, iPad and iPod with no problem at all!
    Anyway I wanted to try creating a new App Store account from the Mac AppStore itself: after I validated it, I tried to login into Mac AppStore... with no success!
    So, NONE of the above mentioned attempts solved the problem, and I'm WORRIED and astonished wondering HOW APPLE COULD RELEASE A MAJOR O.S. UPDATE THAT SMASHES THE MAC APP STORE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CORE APPS OF THIS O.S.!!! I use Mac OSes since many years and I never had O.S. problems (only some minor issue with third party applications out of Apple's scope and solved with some simple workaround).
    CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME? :-)
    THX IN ADVANCE,
    DANI

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • After Security update 2012-001 cannot save any Office 2004 file

    I installed the Office 2012-001 Security Update on a MacBook Pro running Macos 10.6.8
    After that, I opened an attached Excel file from an email (received with Entourage), I performed some formula changes and wanted to save the document with a different name. I saw some changes to the screen as if the File saving Window would appear, but instead the whole program crashed. I could not perform any further changes to the file, basically all of the menus were blank, including the Quit menu. I had to Force quit the program. I thought it was only Excel, but Word also behaves the same. I am able to open any Office file with the corresponding Pages-Numbers program and save the file in the appropriate Office format, but I cannot perform any changes using the Office programs. I am writing this question here on the Apple Support Communities because I am almost sure that this behavior happened after I installed the Security Update 2012-001. After reading some of the latest support questions, I performed a Permissions repair on the StartUp disk but nothing changed.
    Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

    Also:

  • Multiple Errors - G5 Quad/Mac OSX 10.5.8 - After Security Update 2009-006

    I'm using a PPC G5 Quad, and after I installed Security Update 2009-006, I began having problems even being able to open project files Final Cut Pro 6. So I had to force quit FCP6, but even that wouldn't close the application.
    I figured the issue was probably just with the application, so I manually powered down the computer and only wound up getting two blank blue screens on my monitors when I powered back up.
    Powered down again, disconnected power cord for 2 minutes, then powered back up.
    Attempted to open FCP6, didn't work, wouldn't quit using "Force Quit."
    Opened Motion 3 to create a new project outside of FCP6 - when I selected "Save Project As" the application became unresponsive. Would not quit even when I selected "Force Quit."
    To test if there was an issue with other applications besides Final Cut Studio 2, I opened Pages and tried selecting "File->Open." This made the application unresponsive, and would not quit with "Force Quit."
    I repeated this test with:
    QuickTime Player
    Adobe Photoshop CS
    Preview
    Microsoft Word
    Safari
    ALL of these applications became unresponsive when I tried using the command "File->Open"
    I then decided to try installing Security Update 2009-005 to see if that would help.
    Because Safari was locked, I downloaded Security Update 2009-005 using Firefox, then re-downloaded Security Update 2009-006.
    After downloading both security updates, I manually powered down the computer, disconnected the power cord for 2 minutes, then re-powered on the computer.
    I immediately installed Security Update 2009-005 and restarted the computer.
    Once it restarted, I opened up Pages and was successfully able to use the command "File->Open" to open both templates and previously created files.
    I then opened FCP6 with no issues, and successfully opened and re-saved an existing project file.
    I then re-installed Security Update 2009-006, and re-started the computer according to its prompts.
    At first, it appeared that the issues were resolved. I opened Pages and was able to use the command "File->Open" to open an existing template.
    I then quit Pages and attempted to open a new Finder window. Immediately I got a spinning rainbow ball and got the message on my screen "System Failure" etc etc, and the last line read something about "Panic" or "System Panic - we're holding here..." or something to that effect. Quite strange.
    I'm now in the process of attempting to repair disk permissions using Disk Utility. The permissions that seem to be out of order are with:
    private/var/log/secure.log (what and where is this???)
    System/Library/CoreServices/Airport Base Station Agent.app/Contents/CodeResources"
    various Airport Utilities
    Various FrontRow
    Various backrow
    Several places I don't recognize such as usr/bin and usr/sbin
    And internet plugins related to FlashPlayer

    How full is the hard drive?

  • 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?

  • Boot fails after security update

    Greetings,
    In installed the most recent security update this morning, and after restarting, my machine won't boot up.
    I've followed the existing threads (in case you've also had this problem, the most informative was here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1545171 )
    Here's my machine's current state; I'd appreciate any input!
    I booted to single user mode, and checked the disks using /sbin/fsck -fy . there were no errors reported.
    I booted from my Install Disk 1, repaired the disk (again, no errors), and verified the disk.
    Now, it still does not boot independently; it stalls at the apple logo. Safe boot does not work. It doesn't appear to be a PRAM or SMC issue.
    What should my next move be? Thanks again!

    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO or security update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.1 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.

    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Call fails after last update

    Can anyone help me, after the last update from Apple to my iphone 3g I get call fail after call fail. It is getting embarassing at work where I rolled these phone out.

    Standard troubleshooting is
    1)Reset: reset your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    2)Restore as new or from backup: see page 141 of the manual for details...http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    Note the last sentence of the Restore paragraph... "In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on iPhone."
