How to upgrade Java 6 to the latest release on Mac Mountain Lion?

Not able to find the option to upgrade Java 6 to the latest Java 6 version (37) on Mac 10.8.2. Can somebody please tell me that from where I can do that?
Thanks

It should be installed automatically through Software Update (ie, the App Store's Update tab), if you have Java installed. Java is not installed by default in Mountain Lion, however. If you don't have Java, you can try to open the Java Preferences app (in /Applications/Utilities) to be prompted to install it. Note, though, that the current version of Java from Apple no longer includes a web applet plug-in. If you need that, you'll need to install Java 7 from Oracle.
For more information, including why you need to be cautious about using Java online, see Using Java in Mac OS X.

    You can't install a previous version on your Mac since it came with Mavericks pre installed.
    Read here >  Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac
    Some Macs are still shipping with Mountain Lion. I should have asked you.

  • How to downgrade Timecapsule 7.6.4 to 7.6.1... I have no button "Upgrade Firmware" on the latest release of rhe Airport utility

    With a TC 2nd generation, I have problem with Wifi dropping down after few days.
    I'm running 7.6.4 firmware and it looks that people having same problems have fixed it with downgrading to 7.6.1
    On the latest Airport utility (running on my MacOSX maverick), I could find any button (or menu) to upgrade firmware (or choose to downgrade to a previous version)
    Has anybody an idea to force this downgrade?
    Many thanks for your help!
    Best
    Marc

    It is a hidden option.
    Click on the TC in the airport utility.. then in the summary screen..
    Click on the version with the option key held down.. all the other firmware available show up.. select one..

  • HT4561 how to upgrade operating system from 10.5.8 to mountain lion

    How do upgrade my I MAC from MAC OS X ro Mountain lion?

    To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
    Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
    Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    After you install Snow Leopard you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    Make sure your system meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:
    Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" System Requirements
    To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (RAM)
    8 GB or more of available hard disk space
    If your system does not support Mountain Lion's requirements, you may be able to upgrade to Lion. To do that you must call Apple again to order a download code. Redeem the download code in the App Store to download Lion. Lion costs 99¢ more than Snow Leopard.
    Make sure your system meets the requirements for Lion:
    Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" System Requirements
    Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon CPU
    Core Duo CPUs are not sufficient for Lion
    2GB of memory (RAM)
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed:  > About this Mac
     The specified 2 GB minimum is barely adequate for either Lion or ML. They will run in 2 GB but you may not like its performance. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum.

  • HT1338 how to upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 to OS Mountain Lion

    My sisters MacBook has an OSX 10.4.11 IOS, and I want to upgrade to the latest OSX Mountain Lion.  Would it be possible? I would appreciate any information or help that could be extended.  Thank you.

  • How to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to mountain lion?

    i recently got a macbook and it is quite an old one because its second hand, and it has software version 10.4.11 on it.
    i've had troubles downloading things because no programs are built for such old software.
    i think the only way to get past this is to upgrade to a newer software version, but i don't know what's best etc, i want mountain lion but i'm not sure wether i could go from such old software to a newer one!
    it would be really helpful if someone could help me!

    You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc....
    And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/   I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
    OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Okay so I just updated my mac to the latest software.. Mountain Lion. I still can't find iMessage on it though. iChat is still there.

    I restarted my laptop a few times and it still didn't work. What should I do to find iMessage? I thought it was supposed to replace iChat after I update my software to Mountain Lion.. :S

    You are running Lion not Mountain Lion thus iChat. If you want Messages then you will have to upgrade (purchase)  Mountain Lion from the App Store.

  • Dreamweaver and Java SE 6 Runtime problem on MAC Mountain Lion OSX

    I have a problem with dreamweaver. I really love dreamweaver for building web pages and have used it for years with a PC.  I recently switched from a PC to a MAC but I find that when I open the Dreamweaver app for the first time I get a prompt that says something like "You must download Java SE 6 runtime, would you like to install it now?"   I click yes, and the download fails.  I called Apple about it, they said the software resides on Oracle's Java web site, and its out of their control.  I go to the Oracle Java web site it says "Apple supplies their version of Java SE 6 runtime and there's no way to download it from the Java.com site.  All this means is that YOUR software does not work on my MAC because these two companies can't agree on who suppies this software.
    What I need to know is HOW DO I GET DREAMWEAVER TO WORK?  How do I get around this crazy *** catch 22 situation?  And why doesn't your software recognize Java SE 7 runtime?

    I'm in the same boat with you. I recently used Time Machine to backup my profile and then wiped my entire drive and installed Mountain Lion. After importing all of my data with the Migration Assitant, Dreamweaver will NOT open.
    SnakEyez02, Oracle's website does NOT have the dowload. The link you posted is to version 7. We've been down this road already. Martiantime is correct, neither Apple nor Oracle are providing Java SE 6, but Dreamweaver is crying to have it installed.
    So, Adobe, how do we get out of the hole that we did not dig?

    Program refuses to load after repeated tries.

  • When is the actual release date for mountain lion?

    We need a new computer desperately. We have a desktop mac currently, about 5 1/2 years old and have done tons of updates and imovie is just way too slow and need a newer computer. It just says summer 2012. Is that the 1st part of the 2nd part... ugh....

    Oh I see. Well the "rumor" sites are saying to wait but no one knows when equipment will be refreshed until Apple announces it.
    It seems the iMac is overdue for a refresh - I would hold off until at least July if that is what you are looking for, based on the information in this unofficial source: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iMac
    I am in the same boat but other than minor processor updates there shouldn't be too much changing for the iMac if I had to guess.

  • My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade  to get the latest game apps and such?

    My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade  to get the latest game apps and such?

    You probably can't. Many games and other apps now require iOS 4.3 or later, and iOS 4.2.1 is the last version that will run on a 2nd-gen iPod touch. If you want to run newer games, you'll need a newer iPod.  If you want to look for games that will run on your iPod, here's a tip from another user that may help you:
    "I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1.  What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below. 
    I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest.  I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on).  Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1. 
    This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with."
