How can I uninstall java?

Yesterday, I found a way to enable java to work because I needed it for business.  Now, today the new update is available.  How do I uninstall the version that may have risks?  Thanks!

I learned this from Linc Davis, here in Mac community
delete the following file:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

  • HT1338 I installed the wrong java on my mac, how can I uninstall it?

    I need java to be able to log onto my work website.  For some reason it wasn't on my mac.  I installed the wrong version by accident, then I installed the correct version, but now neither will work.  How can I uninstall the wrong version? Whenever I try to put it in the trash it won't delete says error code 61! ugh

    Good news is it didn't install & you have the latest Java for 10.5.8...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
    About Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10
    Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10 delivers improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26 for 64-bit capable Intel-based Macs. 
    J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update.
    So now we need to find where those files really are, if that was -61 then...
    wrPermErr                     = -61,  /*write permissions error*/
    It sounds like they're in your pictures folder if they show up on a Screen Saver!? You cant trash thm from there.

  • I've 2 versions of Java installed! How can I uninstall Apple's Java 6?

    This is where I'm at
    * Updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
    * Installed Oracle Java 7 update 7 dmg
    * Misread an out of date OS X Daily blog where I got this Terminal command java -version. It lead me to think Java 7 wasn't installed
    * Installed Apple Java 6 via the Java Prefs app. Thought this would somehow lead to a Java 7 upgrade along the way.
    * Realised that Oracle Java 7 was installed fine the first time, but java -version doesn't work with it !!
    * Now I have 2 versions of Java installed!
    * I reinstalled Java 7 (this time using 7 update 10) hoping it would remove Apple's Java 6 but it didn't remove it.
    *For some reason too the old Java Prefs app has been automatically deleted too, so I can't switch Apple Java 6 off.
    Confirmation that I have 2 Java versions installed
    If I type the terminal command java -version it says I have Apple Java 6 installed.
    If I open LibreOffice/Preferences/Java it says I have Apple Java 6 installed.
    If I open Play Station 3 Media Server it says it's using Apple Java 6.
    If I open some other Java .jar apps like JOSM it says it's using Oracle Java 7
    Oracle has a FAQ that recomnds deleteing old versions of Java, but very helpfully only gives instructions for Windows.

    Reinstall the OS …  meaning reinstall OS X?!   Is that not a bit over the top?
    >"BTW, do note that all you're really doing is changing the Java Runtime Environment component and not Java."
    At this stage I don't have a clue what I doing !!
    In the past week and a half I have had a belly-full of Java name permutations. What kind of sick, twisted mind came up with Java naming scheme: Just take the word Java and append two or three letters to it using every permutation possible, throw in a few numbers for good measure, and then when discussing it just use the generic term Java… that'll really catch 'em out.
    …Java SE, Jave RE, Java JDK,Java Platform, Apple Java 6, Oracle Java 7, Java 1.6.0_27, Java 1.7.0_10, Java 6, Java 7, ….. not to mention Java FX, Java DB, Java ME, Java EE, Java DST…

  • How can I uninstall this latest java upgrade?

    I just installed a java upgrade called "build 1.6.0_05-b13 and now I cannot get Microsoft Front Page 2003 to work. I have to use MS Front Page to maintain my website. How can I uninstall this latest java upgrade so it will go back to using my previous version of java?

    I believe you may have posted your question to the wrong forum. This forum is for the JavaHelp system, which is used for developing online Help for applications, not for general help on Java.

  • How do I uninstall java?

    Very simple. How do I uninstall java?
    I used it once for a GoToMeeting session, but I'm quite happy not having the jvm/javac/java binaries kicking around. Short of `find | egrep -iE '(java|jvm|javac)'` and surgically removing individual files, is there an uninstaller for java?
    I lump java in to the same category of battery-wasting malware as Flash and I'm quite happy to exist without it. Help?

    Unfortunately there is no direct or easy way to uninstall Java, so once installed the only way to remove it and all of its components completely is to reinstall OS X; however, you can remove the Java virtual machine...

  • How can i uninstall the jre1.5.0--beta1 ???

    several months ago i installed the jre1.5.0-beta1 ( the beta2 version was not released then), but afterwords i meet a problem when i intended to uninstall it : the "jre 1.5.0" item showed in the "add/remove program" control panel whereas there was no "remove" button relatived to the "jre150"program item when i click it. the "jsdk 1.4.2" installed in my pc reveals OK in everything in the program control panel , but why the "jre150" seems abnormal? i dare not remove the "jre150" folder directly for the reason as we all know that this may maintain much garbage in the register table and the OS. but how can i uninstall it appropriately??
    my OS is windows server 2003. i will wait here till the reply comes . thanks you everyone : )

  • Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?

    Hi
    After compilation of a java program, it creates a class file.
    After getting class file suppose class file has been deleted.
    Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?
    Thanks in advance.

    get a decompiler and run your class file through it--I'll assume you want the source code back and that you are not trying to recover a missing class file by attempting to use the class file that is missing--if it's missing, then I've not a clue on how to get it back by using what is already missing.
    BTW: many of your compilers have source control--if it does, just restore your missing file.

  • How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

    There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
    large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
    end of the burned DVD.
    In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
    end of burned projects.
    This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
    I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
    work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
    Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
    but the system will not let me.
    Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
    components and install iLife '06?
    Thanks

    I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

  • How can I uninstall my Photoshop CS 3 from my Mac, without an uninstaller?

    How can I uninstall my Photoshop CS3 from my Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?   It has never opened, since I increased the Mac's capacity to 2 TB.  Now I want to throw the Photoshop CS3 away and get a brand new Photoshop CS5.    There does not seem to be an uninstaller anywhere to be found.  Adobe spent an hour and a half on the phone with me and could not find a work-around.   We tried to reinstall the CS3 from the disk, but the installations failed. 
    An earlier Photoshop CS2 is also on the computer and needs to be uninstalled. 
    Is there a way to rescue my computer and put the new Photoshop on it?

    You need to manually delete the caps.db (somewehre in the Library:Application Support:Adobe folder) and then you can trash the program folders. Without an existing caps.db, a new one wil lbe created from scratch and al linstalls should run as if there never was anything on the system just as conversely you should not have trouble simply deleting the old versions...

  • My mac keeps freezing...How can I uninstall lion?

    My mac keeps freezing on me, particularly when Im on safari. The most annoying part is that it happens three or four times in a matter of an hour, and then Im prompted to submit a report that feels like a joke considering that we have yet to see an update for lion solving this issue, and the problem persists. How can I uninstall lion and get macs previous iOS back?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  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.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
