HT204036 why do apps demand older versions (java 6) if their jar runs fine under java 8 (e.g. freemind) ?

Hello Community
Since i had installed the newest version of Java several Java applications urge me to install the older Java 6.
I wonder why since the jar included in the package runs fine under Java 8 as expected.
regards volker

There are two different Java distributions for end users: one distributed by Apple, and one by Oracle. They don't overlap in function.
The Apple Java runtime (version 6) is needed to run bare jar files and older standalone Java applications. Newer Java applications have the Java runtime built in, and don't depend on Apple's Java.
The Oracle Java runtime (version 8 or later) is a web plugin only. It's used to run Java applets on web pages and Java WebStart applications. You can determine whether it's installed and up to date by looking for a preference pane named Java in System Preferences. If it's present, open it. It will launch the "Java Control Panel." Select the Update tab.

Does iOS 7 Support Apps for Older Versions of iOS?

Does iOS 7 support apps for older versions of iOS? This is my first big iOS upgrade so I wanted to be sure about this.

Which is why I said "should" rather than "will". As there are no absolutes, I'm pretty sure there will be an app somewhere that will not run or have issues until its updated to the new iOS.
With that said for the most part there "should" be no issues updating to a new iOS version related to having older unupdated apps, but its still possible that there can be.

How to run java older version java program with newer version 1.6.

Hello frds.....i have a one query regarding jkd newer version. I was using older version of jdk 1.4 for my java program and projects' work. Now i installed newer version of java 1.6 in my machine, so when i tried to compile and run my older version programs in the newer version, its showing many errors. So can anybody helps me on this query that how can i run my older version java programs in newer version 1.6 or what types of changes i will be do in my java programs.
Thanks in advance

There is only one incompatibility between 1.4 and 1.6, and that is the introduction of the 'assert' keyword. (or did that happen in 1.4?)I believe that was the one and only incompatible change made in 1.4.
(Although I'm saying that from memory, and 1.4 was a long time ago -- so the "one and only" part could be wrong.)

Portal logon app is older version than the standard logon app

HI guys,
My trace files are full of below error:
This constructor should not be used by portal component. Probably the issue is that the portal logon app is
older version than the standard logon app.
How to resolve this..
Regards,
Urbane

Dear Urbane,
Hope you are doing good.
Hope the link mentioned earlier helps. If the issue persists, do the below:
1)
Set the parameters back to the state they were after installation. This will synchronise the configurations with the default SAP
settings and restart the cluster. Check sap note; 1589548.
2)
If the logs are still populated with the portal logon app error, then do a force deployment of the latest patch for EPBC2 component as this patch should resolve the issue.
Thank you and have a nice day :).
Kind Regards,

Can't run my app with older version of jre anymore. Help!

Java Web Start is supposed to allow applications to use older versions of Java JRE. My applet uses 1.6.0_31 because it doesn't work with 1.7. (Backward compatibility? Don't ask.)
When I first set it up a couple of weeks ago, it worked. Now, with JRE 1.7 officially released it does not. When I try to run it, I get the following message:
"This application would like to use an older version of Java (1.6.0_31) that is not installed on your system. We recommend running the application with the latest version o java on your computer. Then there are two buttons.
One button says "Run with latest version". The other button says "Cancel". When I click on "Cancel" the application fails with the following

Looks to me like Cancel does not mean "Run Older Version". While I am debugging why I can't use the latest version of jre, can someone please tell me how to use the older version?

I'm the developer. And thank you for your prompt response. I have been given a work around so that the applet can use version 1.7. But that still doesn't explain what I am doing that makes Java fail to use the older version.
I put this code in my jnlp file on March 27th when I realized that my app didn't work with version 1.7. I tested it at that time and it worked. In the process I installed and uninstalled java 1.6.0_31 ( and 1.7) several times. Maybe something important got corrupted then.

Sync fail - files accessed via app always older versions

Hi, I have a 2TB My Cloud device and various Android devices running the My Cloud App. I have the app set to auto-sync every 120mins however when accessed via the app my files are always older versions, often by a couple of months. The time stamp suggests sync has occured but when I open the file it is clearly an older version. No other error messages or obvious issues. Any ideas? ThanksStuart

Welcome to the WD Community,
If you access the drive directly from a pc, are you able to see the recent versions of the files?
Have you tried reinstalling the app?

I have Mac OS 10.4.11 and had Firefox. It told me it wanted to update to newest I could use but instead erased my older version and said I can't run new one. How can I get old one back?

It downloaded and asked if I wanted to replace my current version, which I did. Then when I tried to open Firefox, it said I couldn't use this version. I guess my old version was overwritten. When I go to the Mozilla page, it doesn't say I can download anything that is compatible with my OS. Is there a way to get an older version?

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor ('''''which you have''''') '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher ('''''which you do NOT have''''').

Since updating I can't click on horizontally placed links, buttons etc have uninstalled and reinstalled still doing it. Cant even see how to get an older version that did work and have run a virus check. explorer works

Firefox was automatically updated to 7 and now all the websites I go on the horizontal active things you would click on will not do anything. eg in ebay I can't access "My ebay" and in facebook can't click on my profile or messages, in Flickr I can't click on "Your Photostream" which means I can't use it. I tried explorer and all these work so it has to be firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled and ran a complete system virus check on top of the active ongoing one and nothing no change. I am at a loss what to do now. A relative suggested downloading an older version that worked but I can't even see how to do that. I would appreciate help so I could use firefox as in the meantime I am stuck with exporer which I hate. Thanks

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, runs fine under Lion.

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, even though it was originally written for Snow Leopard. It runs fine on my Dev machine under Lion. But when I test it on my Snow Leopard Mac Mini the app starts but the window does not appear. Going to file, new window does nothing. My depolyment target is set to 10.6. Is there something I did to make my app lose Snow Leopard compatiblty?

Does your application use features only available in Lion? Are you getting any console logs?

I have a password manager built into my fingerprint scanner. It worked on the older version of Firefox but it will not on this new version. It will not recognize log in pages and will not load information.

With the old version, all I had to do was go to the log in page to any of my email accounts or membership sites and scan my finger. It would fill in the fields and open my account. I like this new version of Firefox, but if I am not able to use that password manager then I will have to install the older version.

A 2008 black MacBook can run OS X Lion (OS X 10.7). However, if you want to use that Mac for apps that do not work with the new MacBook, I recommend you to leave it with Mac OS X 10.6.8, because OS X Lion removes compatibility with PowerPC apps.
Do not worry about the battery of the new MacBook Pro. You can replace it yourself or take it to an Apple Store or reseller, and the cost is similar. However, it's important to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller if your Mac's battery fails while the Mac is in warranty, because you will get the battery replaced for free.

Hey cdixon11!
Here is an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your iTunes installation regarding that error code:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Compile for older versions

Hi,
I did some code and when trying to run the jar file in another computer i have the problem that the code was compiled in mine with version 1.6 and the other computer has java version 1.5.
Is it possible to compile a jar file for older versions?
Please help,
Rodo.

Here's an example of how flaky the -source and target flags are. This code compiles and runs fine under 1.5 (without flags):
import java.io.*;
public class VersionExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new File("test.txt"));
        try {
            out.format("%s%n", "woops");
            out.flush();
        } finally {
            closeIt(out);
    static void closeIt (Closeable stream) {
        try {
            stream.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
}Now supply flags -source 1.4 and -target 1.4 and you get one error message:
path...\VersionExample.java:7: cannot find symbol
symbol : method format(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
location: class java.io.PrintWriter
            out.format("%s%n", "woops");It seems to be noting that format() was introduced in 1.5, right? But what about interface Closeable and constructor PrintWriter(File)? They were introduced in 1.5, too! Yet if you comment out line 7 above, the rest of the code compiles :-(. Odd...
edit: I see what the compiler was choking on: format's use of varargs. If you rewrite the offending line as
out.format("%s%n", new String[]{"woops"});it compiles with flags -source 1.4 -target 1.4 :-(

Can you open an FCP file in older versions?

I have a G4 with FCP 4 HD. And I also have, or now "had" a G5 with FCP 5 something on it. The G5 logic board i think just died on me because it currently does not boot up.
Am I able to open an FCP file in an older version?

The G4 is currently running OS 10.3.9.
I have an OS 10.4 installation disc but the G4 does not load it, it stops shortly after the installation process begins and I don't know why it won't install.
I do not have the FCP 5 discs. And do not believe it would even work on OS10.3, or would it?
