How do I clear Apple's java 6 cache after the 2012-006 update?

Due to some applets that I have to use at work being incompatible with Oracle's Java 7, I have had to re-enable Apple's Java 6 plugin by following the directions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559
Java 6 does work for me in all of the browsers on the system. However, I am having some issues with an applet and I suspect that the culprit might be in data left in the cache. Since Java Preferences was removed from Applications -> Utilities, how do I go about removing the cache? I have found /Users/<username>/Library/Caches/Java, but removing this directory didn't solve the issue. Since I don't know if this is really the location that Apple's Java 6 stores its cache, I don't know if removing that directory does anything for clearing the cache.
What is the official way to remove Apple's Java cache now that Apple's Java Preferences is gone? Thanks for any and all help!

Download and install the Java for OS X Lion Update 1 which should reinstall the Java Preferences app.
I have no clue what Apple's position is on clearing caches.

Why am I getting a pink apple logo on startup after the last Mavericks update?

After the last update for the OS (not Safari)
When my MacBook Pro starts up it shows the regular apple logo
after that the screen becomes black for less than a second
and then the logo is pink
I guess this has to do with a driver issue

How to clear cache after mime object is updated?

Hi Expert,
    I create a mime object (such as "test1.jpg") in mime repository.
   In web dynpro, I add two UI elements: a formatted text edit and a File-Upload "Insert Image",
   after I click the File-Upload "Insert Image",
   I select an image file (such as test2.jpg) from local directory, and upload the content of the image file to mime object(test1.jpg) in mime repository.
   at the same time, I insert a line into formatted-text-edit as "<img src="/SAP/Public/.../test1.jpg" />".
   I double click the mime object (test1.jpg), its content has changed as test2.jpg,
   however, formatted-text-edit still displays the content of test1.jpg.
   When I mannually clear the cache of IE, and refresh the web, Formatted-text-edit display the content of test2.jpg.
It's obvious that the cache of http server isn't cleared.
How to clear cache after mime object is updated?
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thank you.

P.S. the source code:
lv_url = '/SAP/BC/WebDynpro/SAP/ZENHANCE_IA/test1.jpg'.
lo_mine_rep = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
lo_mine_rep->put(
    EXPORTING
      i_url     = lv_url
      i_content = lv_file_string ).

Hi Derek,
Have you tried the method INVALIDATE_ICM_CACHE of class CL_MIME_REPOSITORY_API ?

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.
How can I uninstall Apple's Java 6?

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…

its saying startup disk almost full. have no music or photos on computer. how do i clear it up and free up the HD

There are some items to the right of these reply boxes,
of them a few are likely to be of help to some extent...
Without knowing which OS X version, advice will be not specific
and to answer three different ways when one of them is correct
is a waste of time.
Is your OS X newer than Lion 10.7.5? IF so different rules apply
to finding out what is free space, where it is, & how to tell if it is.
For systems older than Lion (Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger, Panther)
the rules are a little different, since there would not be an Other item
on the hard disk drive which could contain items necessary to the OS
yet not detailed to the user.
And Lion 10.7 has a few hidden files that are hard to locate, and one
of them may have some bearing on the missing space of a HDD.
The items here, mostly for 10.7:

start up disk full, other options:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11808734#11808734
There are Support articles, you could use Help viewer in the
system, on your computer, to look for results; or use google.
However, avoid the temptation to use a badware such as cleanmymac,
mackeeper, and others that are sources of known trouble to the Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!

A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

How come someone elses Apple ID Shows up when I try to update my apps

How come someone elses Apple ID Shows up when I try to update my apps? It's Grey and won't let me change it. I've signed out and resigned in, but this very odd email address always shows up as my apple ID. Please help if you can, I just need to update some apps.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove may not be the one named in the update notice. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Cannot update / install java for OS X 2012 - 006 on 10.7.5

after reinstalling/restoring from lion restore disk, on boot, system requests me to install java for OS X 2012 - 006
with automatic download failed :
after downloading the install file from downloads archive I got also bad response :
I did also try to repair permissions and found many problems all with the same start route like this:
ACL found but not expected on “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/....... and more ”
please some help, thank you

thank you baltwo for your reply
well, the download of the files I mentioned before (second screenshot) ... the library files I just removed also before without success (not mentioned before, right) ... and now I tested other ways more and found a temporary solution ... I write down the steps for other users:
1) first try: downloading the lion 10.7.5 combo update from apple downloads was not corrupted and was working fine, the itunes, java files where still corrupted and not working ....
2) tested downloads of other web-pages -> all safe and working
3) restart/reset router and airport = no success for requested apple downloads
4) unplugged router/ethernet and download over airport only the apple-files through SU and was working ! success !
so remains the question of all this why and how ? it's not the provvider, it's not ethernet, it's not apple download page ... ????
however ... at the moment I'm safe and I hope everybody else with this problem finds the solution in the same way

How do I get my music playlists back after the new update?

After the new iTunes Update this week, the update deleted my personalized music playlists, went back to the default playlists, and all the albums I deleted doubles of songs are all back since the new update! Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to go back through and reorganize my entire library by hand again? It still shows up on correct on my iPhone, it's just on my mac that I'm having the issue.
P.s. iTunes comment: I don't like how if an album has multiple artists on different songs, iTunes separates the album's songs and shows them separated in the Albums list. I have an album to listen to the ALBUM, not separated by artists. Is there a setting or something to change that?

Always back up your computer before installing updates. You may need to rebuild it with a pre-update library file. Details really depend upon exactly what you lost.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.
