How do I download Java 6 on my Mac OS 10.6.8 Tiger?

I need Java 6 to use my scanner for a website. Java tells me that Apple creates these interfaces for the OS.  Where can I find it to download on the Apple site?

Hi Mary,
Tiger is 10.4.x, so are you running 10.4.x or 10.6.8/ Snow Leopard?
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.
I think this was the latest Java for 10.6.8...

    Java is part of the Mac OS X installation, so you don't need to download and install it separately.  For Mac OS X Lion (10.7), Java is not installed by default.  However, the first time you need to use it, the system prompts you and asks if you want to download and install Java.  If you agree and give authentication, it is installed.  Going forward, there are no more prompts when Java is needed.  Java will be available.  If there is a future update to Java, you will be notified through Software Update, like with other Mac OS X components.

    If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
    There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
    If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again.

    Yes. Always keep the default settings unless you have a specific reason not to.
    If you are a heavy user of Java programs or applets, you may need to clear the cache files after Java updates because the old caches may interfere.

    Change product platform or language
    You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product (CS6 only) if you follow the instructions at the following link:

    Alternative: If you wish to continue using the software on the Windows machine as well then your only recourse without buying again would be to install a Windows emulator on the Mac so that it has the rght environment to install in

    How do I access Java on my Mac Pro so that I can make sure it's working so that we can view "watch instantly" on Netflix?

    There are various browser scripts
    1: Java (not needed much at all and highly advised to be turned off in Safari/Firefox preferences due to it's vulnerability)
    2: Javascript (if off, needs to be turned on in Safari/Firefox preferences as it's used A LOT)
    Note:  If your using a NoScript type blocker, then you need to whitelist the site. Or drag a Temp Allow All button to Firefox's Toolbar.
    3: Silverlight plug-in (needed for watching Netflix content, it's from Microsoft)
    4: Flash (needed for watching a lot of web based content, but requires constant checks to make sure it's current as they have a lot of security issues)
    Check your status here, works on all web browsers

  • How can i download visual basic on mac??

    how can i download visual basic on mac?

    Not download and run on OS X. You can run Windows on your computer via Boot Camp or using virtualization software like Parallels. But MS does not have a Mac compatible version of VB
    There are third-party Basics for OS X, however they are not VB. The closest to VB is probably REAL Basic.
    OS X's own programming environment is XCode which is a free download via the App Store. It is a development environment that uses C as the compiler language. XCode is a visual development environment, too.
