Do I need java 1.6?

I have Limewire and when I updated it to version 5, it won't open now on my computer because it says this: This application requires Java 1.6 or later, but only the following Java versions are installed: 1.5.0, 1.4.2, 1.3.1, 1.5, 1.3, 1.4. Updating to a newer version of Mac OS X may resolve this.
I have the updated version of Tiger. Is Tiger not updating anymore to allow me to have what I need to operate newer versions of other software? Do I have to go to Leopard or something. Tiger has been doing everything I need it to do for me, but is it too outdated now or something? How do I get a newer version of java? I went to java.com and it just says to do the update, which I did, and I have the updated version of OS X. So now what?

Oh that figures! Is there any real benefit to getting Leopard except maybe my limewire working? I don't know the difference between Tiger and Leopard. If I was to get Leopard, would there be any kind of other operating problems with my computer with the new operating system? And will it run with my system or would it require a bunch of updating? I'm not real computer savvy, this computer has run just fine for me with it automatically updating etc.

  • I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

    I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

    Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market

    can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market

    Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
    However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
    Java is vulnerable… Again?!

  • I Need Java code for following Algorithm

    * I Need Java code for following algorithm. Kindly any one help.
    1. Read the contents (ideas and its corresponding scores) from two files named as 'a' and 'b'.
    2. Stored the file 'a' contents in array a[].
    3. Stored the file 'b' contents in array b[].
    4. compare both files like
    if(a.equals(b[j])
    Writing the common idea and add the score from file 'a' and 'b'.
    else
    write the uncommon idea and its score..
    For example :
    Form Agents.txt
    action,65
    architecture,85
    eco-,15
    essay,30
    form,85
    form,85
    link,40
    tangent,25
    Form Agents1.txt
    Black holes,69
    essay,78
    Herewith i have above mentioned two files named as Form Agents and Form Agents1.
    Form Agents has eight fields
    Form Agents1 has two fields
    --> 'essay' is common in two files, so store the idea 'essay' and add the score from Form Agents score is '30' and Form Agents1 has 78 (essay 108).
    Finally it stores idea in another file with uncommon fields also.
    Please help us.

    We have tried with following code.
    But we cant add the scores.
    For Example:
    Form Agents.txt --> has "essay,30"
    Form Agents1.txt --> has "essay,78"
    Result is: essay,108
    Finally it stores idea in another file with uncommon fields also.
    So Any one pls correct the following code.

  • Does "Bridge Web Gallery" need Java on hosting server to run?

    I have uploaded a web gallery made with Bridge CS6, but all I see is a white screen. the gallery works fine locally. I just spoke with my host servers tech support and all he can think of is that they doen't run Java on their servers because it causes them way too much trouble. All I see is Javascript in the resource folder and they have no issue with that.
    I'm on a Mac and as far as I know I'm running the lastest Java on my Mac as I updated it a few weeks ago. This is why I was wondering if I needed Java? Also I'm using Dreamweaver to upload the files to the server.

    workflow functions are also exposed via java api's. so you can have your web application in say iAS, weblogic, ibm websphere,... and display pages using the java api.
    the default workflow pages are generated using pl/sql api's. in this case you can get rid of pl/sql gateway.
    i myself have worked on implementations which developed the application using the java api's
    satish paul
    Thank you Fernando. I have been pointed out that there is a oracle plug-in for Microsoft IIS, enabling us to use it as the web server, Hence removing the need for Apache http server and the PL/SQL gateway.
    Many Thanks

  • Why we need Java Class in c++ pof Serialization

    Hi,
    I'm really confused why we need java class which implements PortableObject to support complex objects of c++. If we are not using any queries or entry processors in the application can't we keep the object as serialized byte format and can't we retrieve in from the c++ deserialization.
    Please share your thoughts if there's a way if we can skip any Java implementation.
    regards,
    Sura

    feel both are doing same work. Also can anyone tell me what is teh difference between Serilization and Exgternalization.If you need someone to tell you the difference, (a) how can you possibly 'feel both are doing the same work'? and (b) why don't you look it up in the Javadoc?
    It's not a secret.

  • Need java 1.6.0_4 for SQL developer 3.2 64bit, Win 7

    Hi All
    I Need java 1.6.0_4 for SQL developer 3.2 64bit, Win 7.
    SQL developer behaves weirdly sometimes. It frequently drops connection, doesn;t show compile button when i open a procedure and certain other things.... I found ver 3.0 quiet stable.
    I think it may be because of my incorrect java version (1.6.0). Please tell me how can I get this Java version 1.6.0_4. I checked oracle.com, version 35 is available there....
    Can you please help me by providing this ?
    Thanks

    No - we can't provide it. You have to download it yourself. If you have trouble with the download you should report the problem to Oracle.

    If you checked at the Java SE Downloads page
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
    Then you should have seen the 'Previous Releases' link jus above the download Icons near the top of the page.

    All of the available prior versions are available at that link.
    But I strongly suggest you heed the advice given to use the latest 1.6 version of Java available unless you have a very good reason not to.

  • Do I need Java 8 or should i disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

    Do I need Java 8 or should I disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

    There's no difference. They're both runtime plug-ins (they run when an app calls for Java functions).
    You only need Java if you either have Java apps on your Mac that won't run without having it installed, or you use trusted web sites that require Java to function (getting fewer and far between). Otherwise, you have no need for it at all.
