How to turn of Java in Yosemite

I Have read that it is more secure to turn off Java. However I can't find it in Yosemite. In Mavricks it was under security in Safari preferences. Where is it?

It is encapsulated in the Plug-ins section of Security. Java is just a plug-in on a web browser.
If you don't have Java installed in the first place, it won't be listed in the plug-ins.

How to turn this Java into something I can use in CF?

Hi - Following on from a recent post about how to strip our special characters from a string before insertion to the db I have found this Java code - my question is, how can I turn this into something I can use with CF? I think I need to use the cfscipt tag but that's right on the boundaries of my knowledge base.. If anyone could please help I'd be ever so grateful - thank you!

How to turn a Java Application an .exe file?

Hello, I'am just above new commer in Java world. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I just developed an application in java, how can I turn it into exe file? is there a way I can run this application without the "Command" promt (window) running?
Pls. help my email address is "[email protected]"
Any assistance will be largely appreciated.

you can try the J++ compiler provided with the JBuilder from Microsoft but this is just compiling the java to C++. to create a standalone exe is as far as I know impossible. U can try to use a jar-archive (create with the sdk) and if a Java Virtual Machine is installed (normally with every popular web-browser) it will run with a doubleclick

How to install Java on Yosemite?

How to install Java on Yosemite?

What version do you need, and what do you need it for?
If just web applets, you only need the JRE. If running desktop apps or development, then you need the JDK.
Java 1.6 is here: Java for OS X 2014-001
Any later version via Java.com. Pick Java SE JRE or JDK as required.

Since installing Yosemite my Quarkxpress 10 is not running correctly. Too slow or crashes. How do I uninstall Os X Yosemite without losing all of my designs?

Thank you Thomas
First, for changing my question to the right forum. I am new on this and wasn't aware I was in the wrong forum.
Secondly, even though my initial question is not answered as in: I just want to remove Classic, what you say is right. I think now, after writing my long question and seeing your answers, that I should start from scratch.
To answer your question, I bought the new drive to be able to store and back up into DVDs and CDs all the photographs and movies that are still in the computer. I also need to make CDs of my portfolio since I am trying to find a new job and buying a new Mac at this point is out of the question. To upgrade the computer: I just do not have use for OS 9 anymore; I cannot upgrade to the latest Java, Safari or have issues with Flash or other programs; the programs that I have and need will still run perfectly fine or better in Leopard. And even if I could buy another computer I would still like to hang onto this computer for a while.

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

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

Where on my 8330 Curve B Berry do I turn ON Java program ?

My 8330 CURVE model B Berry has JAVA programming but I've recently had another program tell me that Java is NOT turned on, where and how do I go in the phone to turn ON Java program ? Please Help; Sincerely Charles PS Have only had my Curve only about a week or so now ,todays date Sunday Jan.25,2009 !
From the Black Berry of Charles W. Merritt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

there is no "java turning on" on Blackberry devices.
the BlackBerry device uses an operating system that is based on Java.
the BlackBerry device can use applications developed in Java (either J2ME like any mobile phone, or ALX special files for BlackBerry devices)
the BlackBerry device has a browser that can do JavaScript but not Java applets.
Question is : why do you think you need Java ?

Turning a Java applett into a *.exe

How do you turn a Java applett into an *.exe?

Have a look at http://gcc.gnu.org/java/. Its not complete, and I've never tried it on Windows, but it kinda works for linux.
The other thing you could do is create a C/C++ wrapper that starts a JVM and runs your main class. http://www.kcmultimedia.com/javaserv/ has some GPL code for doing this for an NT service, but the principle is the same for non-service apps.

How to always enable Java 6 with Firefox 18

I implemented Firefox 15 with Java 1.6.0.35-b10 to be used with a particular Vendor's website. The site has no internet except for accessing this vendor's website. Several weeks ago Firefox 15 updated itself to Firefox 18 and blocklisted Java 6. I was able to unblock it, but now each time the users log into the vendor's website, Firefox prompts the user to activate Java 6. My users are nagging me to turn this activate screen off but i cannot figure out how to permanently activate Java 6 on each of these machines. The vendor is not willing to upgrade to Java 7. I have tested Java 7 with the vendor's site and of course it doesn't load. Consequently, I cannot get this machine to roll back to Java 6. Once they activate Java 6 they can use the website. I could switch back to IE8 and use Java 6 with no problem, except that IE8 has a flaw in it. I have read that I cannot install IE9 on Windows XP pro, so I am stuck with Firefox. Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox 18, and Java 6.

Hi there,
This article walks you through how to enable Java again -- note that we don't recommend this due to the many security risks (this week new threats were revealed again): [[How to use Java if it's been blocked]]
Hope this helps!

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.
