How does one know whether or not they use "Java applets"?

The support doc for the recent Java update (Update 8, for Snow Leopard), entitled "About Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8," advises the following:
If you do not use Java applets, it is recommended that you disable the Java web plug-in in your web browser.

Sometimes you have to dig to find out: http://earthnow.usgs.gov/earthnow_app.html
doesn't tell you directly, but it is mentioned in the FAQ that Java is required. If the content is appropriate, you can always ask here.
Thanks.  According to that webpage, my "Java is out of date."  When an error message like that is returned, I guess it's clear that "it's a Java problem."  Presumably, one would then just go to java.com and download the applet if he/she wanted to view the webpage.
I was wondering more about situation when unexplained problems that involved missing Java applets weren't noted in error messages.
But maybe I'm worrying about something that doesn't really need to be worried about.

    Well, when you go to a web page a section of the web page will have a coffee cup picture where the java applet will run. The applet loads then runs. If you are not seeing this behavior then you are not using java. If it make you feel more comfortable then disable the browser java plugin. On my machine I have not disable java- but you
    may what to.

    Sorry, but iTunes U is only available to K-12 public school districts, private schools and two- and four-year accredited, degree-granting, public or private colleges and universities. It's not available for corporations.

  • Does any one know whether or not Safari on the touch will ever get Flash?

    Just interested really, not a problem but it would be nice to be able to use flash with safari on my iPod touch.
    does any one know of any developments coming up?

    Not so fast...
    Despite Adobe's positive-sounding statement yesterday, CEO Shantanu Narayen clarified that he meant Flash on the iPhone would require more than just the iPhone SDK to pull off successfully. Since Flash requires a very close relationship with Safari – something Apple is normally very hesitant to allow – Narayen says it would need to work closely with Apple to develop a satisfactory implementation of Flash for the iPhone, according to CNET.

  • How does one know if Flash is legitimate?

    This is mainly a paranoid question, but how do I know if a Flash installer is legitimate?
    When I opened Safari today, I got prompted to update Flash. However, the window prompting the Flash update could have been launched from some open browser tab in Safari or another browser, couldn't it? So when I look at the window that prompts me to upgrade, what could I use as a sign to tell that this is a valid legitimate request to update?
    As I am paranoid, I cancelled the update process and went to adobe.com and downloaded the update from there. In that way I at least know the origin of the file. However, surely that should not be necessary. Surely there is a way to recognise a legitimate update prompt?

    Only EVER download Flash Player from Adobe's own website.
    Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
    Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
    The Adobe Flash patch can be found on the company's website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent 11.5.502.149 version.

  • How does one know if Adobe Acrobat is single or multiple users?

    How can I find out out if my version is multiple or single user?   I have my serial number, have downloaded and use regularly acrobat but have a colleague in my office who needs now also.  Can he just download like I did from the original order?  Thanks in advance.

    McKinnonnnyc you can determine if you have an individual license by viewing your serial number under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more information at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    If you have a volume license serial number, and hence a serial number which can be used by multiple individuals, then the serial number and order would be available at https://licensing.adobe.com/.

  • Conversion table: How does it know whether a topic is a task, concept, or reference?

    FM 11
    DITA 1.2
    I'm just starting to work on my conversion table for our non-structured files. I've only gone as far as my first couple of iterative tests to create FM binary files; i.e., I haven't imported my EDD or templates yet. I'm just trying to apply logic to the process.
    Marsha

    Hi Marsha...
    The only way for it to know is based on the heading tag names. You'll need to assign different tags for each heading that starts a new "topic type". You'll also need to assign different tags within topics (like "task") to differentiate between the different sections within a topic.
    I have a tool that helps with this "retagging" process (as well as many other conversion-related issues). it lets you define a retagging scheme based on previous tags or tags that follow a certain tag. It also lets you assign new tags based on text in the heading. You may want to download the trial of this tool just to get an idea of what it can do. The sample files and documentation may be helpful for your learning process, even if you don't buy it.

  • How does one remove content from iPod/iPhone using iTunes 11

    Well, I can more or less get content on my mobile devices with iTunes 11 (managed manually, as I've always done).  How do I get it off?  I have a series of files formatted as audiobooks (continuing education). I put them on my iPhone (for in the office) and iPod (in the car to work).  Now I'm done - and can't get them off.  Going on the Music app doesn't allow me to remove an audiobook, and that's never been an option on the iPod.  When I try to do it through iTunes, I get the following:
    Pod:  I can at least FIND the files on "On This iPod", but cannot find any option to delete (and I tried both del and command-del).  I ended up having to set it up to sync, which I dont like as I typically (for space issues) keep my audiobook library on an external disk - anything I put on the Pod has to stay on the hard drive till I finish listening to it.
    Phone:  I can't view the content on the phone other than apps.  Via iTunes, I can't even see what's there, much less do anything with it.
    Am I missing something?  There seems to be no option to manually manage media anymore - I can't do it without syncing, and that requires me to leave everything on my hard drive indefinitely.
    If anyone's found a solution I missed (other than the process to revert back to 10.7, that is), I;d appreciate a point in the right direction.  Mahalo!

    To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect.

  • How does one connect to an Oracle Database using OO4O as sysdba using VB 6?

    Hi,
    Can any one give suggestion to connect an Oracle Database using OO4O as sysdba using VB 6.0. Generally it supports only database, userid/password only.
    For Eg:
    Option Explicit
    Dim m_oraSession As Object
    Dim m_oraDatabase As Object
    Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Set m_oraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
    Set m_oraDatabase = m_oraSession.DBOpenDatabase("Database", "user/password", 0&)
    MsgBox "Connected to " & m_oraDatabase.Connect & "@" & m_oraDatabase.DatabaseName
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Set m_oraDatabase = Nothing
    Set m_oraSession = Nothing
    End Sub
    Thanks & Regards,

    You can't connect AS SYSDBA with OO4O.

  • How to know whether the database is using SPFILE or PFILE

    How can i know whether the database is using SPFILE or PFILE.
    There are both initSID.ora and spfileSID.ora in default location.
    The registry entry for ORA_SID_PFILE is C:\oracle\ora90\database\initSID.ora
    Also, if it is using SPFILE than how can i modify the non dynamic parameters when the database is in the close state.
    Manu

    If you do not specify a path of a pfile , when you actually startup a database , then it will be use your pfile , if you specify a path explicitly fot a pfile , then it'll use your pfile.
    Also, if it is using SPFILE than how can i modify the non dynamic parameters when the database is in the close state.sql > create spfile from pfile ;
    the spfile will syncronise with pfile .
