Cant find java on my mac

I have OS X 10.6.8 and can't find java on either my IMac and Macbook Air. Both have recently been in for major repair (harddrive replacement on IMac and processor replacement macbook air)
I've been on the java website but it only seems to offer downloads for OS X 10.7 and later.
Would appreciate any advice on what I need to do.
Many thanks

  • Problem with JDK 6 update 5 - Error Message says cant find java compiler

    Hi i am a complete beginner to programming and i am having trouble with the latest java development kit. jdk 6 update 5.
    The problem is i have set the path and the program cant find my compiler.
    I have installed the latest java development kit 6 update 5 on my windows xp machine.
    I have created a simple program as shown below:
    class Hello
         public static void main(String[] args)
                   System.out.println("Hello from java");
    saved the file to my desktop as Hello.java
    I have set the path variable like so:
    Go to control panel then click system icon then click advanced tab then click environmental variables.
    Now in system variables the path is shown as this - %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\bin;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\
    I then add this to the end;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\bin
    This is the location to the things like compiler, applet viewer etc.
    No in the command prompt i type javac Hello.java and i get this error message:
    C:\> javac Hello.java
    javac: file not found: Hello.java
    Usage: javac <options> <source files>
    use -help for a list of possible options
    The jdk is installed properly im sure but it can find my compiler.
    What mistake have i made in setting the path because im guessing that is related to the problem?
    Could someone out there please help me?
    Thank You
    Rafeeq

    saved the file to my desktop as Hello.java
    C:\> javac Hello.javaC:\ is not the desktop!
    The jdk is installed properly im sure but it can find my compiler.Of course it can! It just can't find the file you are trying to compile, because that's not in the root directory.
    I suggest you make a directory C:\java and save your source file there rather than on the desktop. In the command prompt, enter cd \java to make it the current working directory and then enter javac Hello.java.
    @Pravin: The question is about compiling, not running. CLASSPATH has nothing to do with this problem.

  • Suddenly mu iPhoto disappeared. I cant find it in my mac

    there was an update due, i made it and it erased my iphoto, i cant find it anywhere, what can I do

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • J3d 1.3 beta cant find Java Runtime

    When i try to install Java3d 1.3beta it unpacks the installer then brings up an eroor box saying it cant find a java2 runtime.
    I am using windows XP ,with J2SDK1.4-rc (It wont install with 1.3SDK either)
    J3d1_2_3 and j3d1_2_1 will also not install with J2SDK1.4-rc they just seem to hang
    but they will install with 1.3SDK.
    Any suggestions much appreciated
    jon

    Hi Jon,
    Java 3D 1.3 Beta 1 works perfectly on my machine.
    (DirectX Version)
    I am running Windows XP Professional
    with J2SDK 1.4 final version.
    Probably, the best thing you can do is to download
    the latest version of J2SDK i.e. Version 1.4 instead of
    using the release candidate (RC).
    J2SDK 1.4 is available at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/index.html
    All the Best,
    Kranthi.

  • How can i find java preferences on MAC 10.8.2

    I recently upgraded to the new Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 but I can't find Java preferences anymore. I need to go onto an online banking page but it needs me to adjust some settings through Java Preferences, kindly please inform where can I get to the Java Preferences page?

    The last Java update disabled Java plug-in and removed Java Preferences.app from your Utilities folder.
    You can re-enable Java by follwing this support article

    Or, you can update to Oracle's Java 7 here

  • HT1338 Cant find find Java 6 for Mac OSX 10.4.11

    Go to Java's website, it says use Software Update.  Software Update says that there is nothing to update - but I am missing Java 6!!!

    You need to install Snow Leopard to install Java 6. You cannot on a PPC computer. You must have an Intel machine. To get the latest available Java you can run you will need to purchase and install Leopard. Look for copies on eBay and Amazon.

  • Cant find photoshop elements 6 mac

    Can anybody point me to the PS ELEMENTS 6 FOR MAC installer please?

    I don't think there was a Mac version of Elelemnts evenr for version 7.  I say that based on a mention in the other place I would have sent you to find it...
    Comments on “Direct Download Links for Lightroom 3 and Photoshop Elements 8″, Page 1
    Looking at the release history for PSE it might be the case that there was no Mac version 7...

  • I cant find icloud on my mac

    icloud no longer appears in my applications list.  All I did was reset photo streaming

    No wonder. You're two operating systems behind. The only way you can use iCloud is if you are running Lion v10.7.2
    v10.5.8 is Leopard.
    You will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first v10.6.8 so you can download Lion from the App Store.
    If you decide you want to upgrade, make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare

  • Cant find iPhone notes on Mac desktop

    Hi, I have OS X Lion running on my Mac and my 'notes' from my iPhone are nowhere to be found. I tried the suggestion of 'un' then reselecting notes in preferences - iCloud but it didn't work. When I go to system preferences - iCloud, there is no box for notes. Only Mail & Notes. And when I deselect it and reselect it, the notes are still nowhere to be found.
    On my other mac with the older OS the notes show up in the dock.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks

    Also check your iPhone to make sure Notes are setup to Sync via the same iCloud account via iPhone -> Settings -> Notes -> Default Account
    and iPhone -> Settings -> iCloud -> Account
    and iPhone -> Settings -> iCloud -> Notes
    The above iPhone info was for iOS 7 (not sure exactly what previous iOS version settings would be).

  • Cant find icloud on my mac!

    I have a macbook, I have just downloaded the lastest software and yet icloud is still not becoming available its still mobile me!? I have tried to update software again but it say's 'no software available' ...help please?

    From the sound of it you have 10.6.8 or earlier (please when you have a question post your operating system to prevent confusion and guesswork). Software Update will not upgrade you to a higher system, e.g. Snow Leopard to Lion, etc.
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page. With the release of Mavericks it's not as yet clear whether this is still available.
    The requirements for Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). It replaces Mountain Lion (no longer available) but has the same requirements and the additional advantage of being free.
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    (If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.)

    Locate the version of Java that’s installed on your Mac OS X system...
    1. Open the Utilities folder and run the Terminal application.
    2. Type java -version and press Enter.
    (space between java & -v important)
    The version of Java that you have installed will then be displayed on the screen.

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
