HT5228 security content of Java update for 10.4...?

Will there be a security content of Java update for older versions of OS X versions such as 10.4.11?

I wonder if it has been determined what percentage of the Macs compromised were using OS systems from antiquity? Do you think I should get a specific security software, or just a new machine with a top OS?
It was problably something else. Few malware authors ever bothered to write PowerPC code. Having intel chips makes things a bit easier because the malware can be cross-platform a low-level. The only thing they have to worry about are operating system differences, not chip differences.
I suggest asking your question in a forum dedicated to that model machine. There are still plenty of people using those machines and have experience with such problems. It is likely just hardware incompatibilities. Older hardware sometimes doesn't want to talk with newer hardware.

HT5228 security content ??

hello,
regarding this:
About the security content of Java for OS X Lion 2012-002 and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 7
why don't i get these updates when i check for updates in software preferences?

If you're on 10.6 or 10.7 and  > Software Update doesn't show the update, you're good.
This update isn't displayed if Java is not installed.
And if you don't have Java installed - and that's the default on 10.7 - then you don't have the vulnerability. If you really, really want the patch installed, then you'll have to load Java first. But if you're not using Java, I wouldn't recommend installing it.
If you do trigger the Java download (as has happened to a few folks that were confused by this and then inadvertently triggered the Java installation), you'll get a dialog box asking you about installing Java, and you'll either confirm the installation (to install it) or click the Not Now button (to avoid installing Java).

Some pages don't render properly after Java update for OSX 10.6.8

I can't seem to get T-mobile.com's website pages to render properly anymore. So far, this is the only website I'm having this issue with, though there could be more I'm not aware of.
I go to www.t-mobile.com and this is what I get:
I think I might be missing a plug-in, but not sure; if so, I don't know which one or how to get it.
This only started happening after the latest Java update for OSX 10.6.8, which I installed on Feb. 24, 2013. All of T-mobile's pages look like this, except if I go to www.my.t-mobile.com's home page. Then I get a normal page, but after I log in, I get more wierd rendering issues again. So here's the page that appeared normal today:
And after I log in successfully, I'm back to the wierd rendering issues again:
I was so lost but then I decided to try a work around to get my online bill and managed to get it, but I don't want to see the pages like this. So help please?

So, here's more on my point...
I put in the 3 captured screen shots in my original post above. I used Grab to copy the web pages, saved them to my desktop as .tiff files and dropped them in for others to view. This morning, I went to look at my post and instead of seeing the screen shots, I see 3 tiny blue boxes with question marks. When I left click on the boxes, nothing happens. When I right click on them, I get options that are not helpful:
Open Image in New Window
Open Image in New Tab
Download Image
Copy Image Address
Import Image
Capture Selection from Screen
Convert Selected Traditional Chinese Text (why the frack is this an option?)
Convert Selected Simplified Chinese Text (or this an option?)
I checked my Safari Preferences and I see I have checked, under Security, Enable plug-ins, Enable Java, Enable JavaScript.I have to have Java enabled to run a few things.
Did something get corrupted in Safari?
Am I'm missing some plug-ins?
How do I get them back?
I'm going to search the internet. Well, after doing the search, I still don't think I've got what I need. Thinking I might need to reinstall Safari. If this is the case, will I loose all my Bookmarks?

"The new java Version 7 Update 13 is not exactly helpful in macbook pro.
try the version 11 or 12 they should work perfectly."
The OP is running 10.6.8 so Java 6 is his option at this point.

HT5228 HT5228: About the security content of Java for OS X Lion 2012-002 and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 7

Is it recommended to install this update? I'm using a Macbook Pro (late 2011), OS X Lion 10.7.3
I ran software update today and this security update didn't even show up in the items to be installed. Someone (i.e. Bob Harris from another thread) mentioned that "Software Update ONLY downloads and installs the patch if you actually have Java installed; it is not installed by default on 10.7" (see thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3853951?tstart=0). Does this mean I don't even have to install this update, since I don't have Java installed? Because I honestly don't know if I have Java installed or not. I'm not exactly a techie.
Thanks.

Does this mean I don't even have to install this update, since I don't have Java installed?
yes
The update provides a fixed Java. If you do not have Java installed and do not want Java installed, then applying the update would result in installing the Java you did not want nor need, hence Software Update did not try to install the Java update.
There are valid reasons for having Java installed on your system, but only if you have a need. For example, there are some 3rd party utilities that are implemented using Java (a programming language). On rare instances, there are some web sites that use Java (very rare these days) to give you an interactive experience, and you happen to want/need to work with that web site.
But for the most part Java is not needed, which is why Apple no longer installs Java by default.
If you have Java installed, then System Preferences -> Software Update -> Check Now, will offer you the Java update. If it isnot installed, Software Update will not offer the update.

I was reading this page, regarding Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory - February 2013 Link here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpufeb2013-1841061.html, by reading this, I know my version is affected, as I will copy and paste here:
Affected product releases and versions:
Java SE      Patch Availability
JDK and JRE 7 Update 11 and earlier      Java SE
JDK and JRE 6 Update 38 and earlier      Java SE

SDK and JRE 1.4.2_40 and earlier      Java SE
JavaFX 2.2.4 and earlier      JavaFX
But whenever I try to find updates for this version, I only see Java 6 or 7 available. Thanks everybody for your support!

You can still download it from the archives, but you won't be able to get the latest patch versions of it - that is only for paying customers.

I would consider upgrading to Java 7 if I were you. Any software that still needs Java 1.4 is a security risk.

Can't install Java update for OS X 10.6

I'm totally lost and need help.
I have a MacBook Pro, OS x 10.6. I have downloaded/tried to install every version of Java update available, and my system won't let me install.
This is the error message: "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later."
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

You need to update your os to 10.6.8, repair permissions after the installation and restart your computer when done. Then you should be able to install all the other updates from Software Update. If you have a lot which I imagine you do, install 2 at a time. After all the installations are done repair permissions and restart your computer.

Latest Feb 19, 2013 Java update for 10.6 breaks Safari 5.1.7

Hi people, long time viewer first time poster here. I wasn't sure on how to contact apple in regards to their latest Java update on the 19th February 2013, so I thought I post it here and see if others have the same problem.
So, I'm running the following:
Java SE 6 (Java 1.6.0_41-b02-445)
Safari 5.1.7
Mac OSX 10.6.8
When I try to load http://www.uk.msn.com (which is also my homepage) my browser freezes and I can't load any other page. This results in me have to quit Safari and sometimes force quit.
I know it is the recent Java update because when I disable Javascript the website works fine and I can interact with it. As soon as I turn Javascript back on, the issue occurs again. Obviously turning Javascript off is a work around for now, but I require it for work etc.
I have done a permissions repair which doesn't fix anything.
Could others try the link and let me know what happens please? All OSX versions are welcome to see whether it is just the 10.6.8 OSX or spans to 10.7 and later.
Also, does anybody know where I can report this issue to Apple, or do I just ring them up and tell them?
Many thanks.

I also have 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.7, and the most recent Java update. I can access the MSN site through the link you provided but, on returning to Apple Discussions, got a 60-second stall before Safari would work right again. Yes, it very well could be the site.
The only Safari 5.x crashes I've had came after a Java update 12-18 months ago. I had repaired permission both before and after the update but the crash log showed a number of dlink files with question marks instead of version numbers. Another repair permission restored function and I've had no further crashes. So I always repair permissions before any subsequent Java update that's offered and twice after. For what ever reason, it seems to keep me going.

Java update for OS X 10.8.3 to run Pogo games on MacBook Pro

My wife purchased a 15" late 2011 MacBook Pro last year to replace her PC. She loves her Pogo games. Recently, everytime there is new OS update, the Pogo games won't work, needs Java. So we have to wait for a new Java update to resume playing her Pogo games. I read the Apple Support about the Java threats and how serious they are to the Mac community. I understand but. What can you/we do to get this resolved to get the Apple approved Java update so I and many Pogo games users get to use Pogo games again and soon? Please help!

I went around and around with this last night and here's what I found…
Even with the latest version of Java installed, the plug-in is still disabled by default. I could not figure out how to enable it via system preferences or Safari's preferences, but I knew it was indeed installed and working because I could use Java via Firefox with no problems.
Here is how I was able to enable the plug in. Go to http://www.javatester.org/version.html At the top of the page you will see "Inactive Plug-in" if Java is not enabled on your Mac. Click on the "Inactive Plug-In" and you will be prompted as to whether you want to run Java. Click Run. It will appear to hang up loading java with the loading "circle". Refresh the browswer, select Run again, and voila!
Head on over to Pogo and enjoy! If anyone figures out how to enable the plug-in via System Preferences or Safari directly, please post here...

Apple releases Java update for Mac OS X Tiger

Apple released J2SE 5.0 Release 4 on Tuesday, an update for Mac OS X 10.4.5 Tiger users. According to notes provided with the update the release delivers improved reliability and compatibility for the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. With today's release J2SE 5.0 becomes the preferred Java version, superseding Java 1.4.2. Apple notes that Java 1.4.2 is still installed on the machine, but applications will run with J2SE 5.0 unless they specifically request Java 1.4.2. The update is available as a download from Apple's Web site
or via the Software Update mechanism in Mac OS X.
J2SE 5.0 Release 4 (Intel)

When I go to the DOWNLOADS Section of the Apple Support page and find the Java update, I see "(PPC)" next to it. Does that mean anything?

Is there a java update for 10.5.8

Hi,
I running an iMac 8,1 and OSX 10.5.8 - in Firefox, Java has been disabled and am notified that Apple is supplying the Java update, but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help me with this?

So that would be an iMac G5 (PPC) and not only is there no Java update, neither of the recent updates from Apple for Leopard will work for you, either. Your only choice is to disable Java in all your browsers (Safari instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5241) and perhaps even:
Disable Java System-Wide in Mac OS X
Open the Applications folder and then open the Utilities folder
Launch the “Java Preferences” application
Uncheck all the boxes next to “Java SE #”

Java update for one, but not the other ML installation

I have two ML installations (one mbp, the other a mac mini). Recently with the Java scare, I disabled Java on both.
Only the mbp offered me to update Java to the (presumably) fixed version, while on the mac-mini 'Sofwtare Update' does not
offre me the update.
How can I check my java install.
Also, what is the suggested version of Java, Apple's or Oracle's?

How can I check my java install.
The Java preference pane, for Oracle's JRE, and Software Update for Apple's.
Also, what is the suggested version of Java, Apple's or Oracle's?
They do different things. Oracle's JRE is a web plugin for running applets and WebStart applications. Apple's JRE is a framework for running standalone applications.

HT1622 Java updates for OS X 10.4

Where do you get the" Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6" from? there was no link in the note.

To update Java you first have to install Leopard 10.5.8 on your computer provided that's possible on your model. Even then you cannot run SE 6 because that requires a later version of OS X that you cannot run.

Java update for DST for version 1.4.2

Hi all I have Java Runtime Version 1.4.2 installed on Windows 2003 standard editon server no service pack. We need to update Java for DST because we have applications that need it. I thought I had downloaded the proper update from the download page . I downloaded
1.4.1_13, however I uninstalled version 1.4.2 first I don't think that was correct. Do I need to use the tzupdater tool to update version 1.4.2 or is the 1.4.2_13 version oK or should it be installed over top of 1.4.2?? any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Any 1.4.2 version should be OK, particularly 1.4.2_13. Just install it to it's own directory (I believe the installer will do this anyway) No need to remove earlier versions, unless you want to.
Edit: jre 1.4.2_11 or later has the correct DST rules
