Are older versions of Java automatically uninstalled during an update?

If you open the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app then the available Java Virtual Machines will be listed. I have a newer mac with 10.6.8 that has latest Java 6 version installed on it and an older macbook pro with the lastest Java 6 Virtual Machine version and the previous Java 6 Virtual Machine version .

  • TS3489 Can the older version of Java be restored to the Mac OS X 10.4.11?  I have a new MacBook, but I like using my older desktop model for certain things.

    Although I have a new MacBook,  I also have an older desktop Mac OS X 10.4.11 (which I still use) that just recently "stated" the older Java plug-in has been removed and the newer version needs to be installed.  The Mac OS X 10.4.11 doe not appear to be compatible with the updated version of Java.   Prior to this week, my grandchildren have been able to play some online early childhood games with this computer and I have been able to watch the occasional YouTube video.  Can the older version of Java be restored to the Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    I'm not familiar enough with the Mac to know where your history is. Hopefully another Mac user can chime in.

  • Is it required to keep the older versions of JAVA

    I see that all the updates are visible as installed , and take up a large ammount of valuable disk space , is it necessary that all the updates be retained Inidviually on the disk ,
    IS IT POSSIBLE to remove the earlier updates and retain only the latest uodated

    Looks like I am confusing the Software updates information which indicates the numerous versions of Java in it .
    does it mean that even if the version of Java are indicated independently they are not installed independtly on the Mac but replace the older version,

  • Should I "disable" the older versions of Java Console prior to version 6.0.24?

    While exploring the new features of Firefox v4.0 I discovered, in the Add-ons Manager, that all of the previous versions of Java Console, back to v6.0.05, were still enabled. Should I disable all versions prior to the most recent?

    I'm quite sure that it is not possible to extricate Java from MacOSX. When installed, bits and pieces of it go everywhere and to locate individual items and remove them is next to impossible.
    That said, I believe it has been attempted, but whether successfully, I can't say.
    Reason I know this is because I ran into problem with latest version of JRE on MacOSX machine operating as FileMaker server. Latest version of JRE caused java-based administration console to break.

  • If i install firefox will it discard the older version of firefox automaticly?

    i'm afraid i'll lose all my bookmarks if i install a new firefox. my old one acts funny.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == all the time

    Your Firefox settings and info are kept in a folder separate from the Firefox program, called your profile folder. See [[Profiles]].
    Whenever you update Firefox, you profile is kept in tact.

  • Where are the older BIOS versions gone?

    Hi
    A few weeks back, I've upgraded the BIOS on my Pavilion G6 1001sq to the latest version (F66). I noticed that the laptop is running considearbly hotter since then and I want to revert to an older BIOS version. When I go to the updates page on the HP website and click on "older versions available" I can only see the F66 version on the page I'm directed to ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/previousVersions?softwareitem=ob-115746-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4... ), although a long list with many versions was available till recently. Where are the older versions gone?

    Unfortunately, I do not know where they have gone. HP is working on issues with the suport and driver servers at the moment.
    Since your notebook does have the UEFI Diagnostics installed, you should be able to rollback to the previous version that was installed. Use the firmware management option to do that.

    I like to know whihch HDD I am importing moview to..That does nto seem possible in new iMovie 10..where as in the older iMovie11 you could choose.
    Yes, I know the new one is Version 10...where as the old iMovie11 was version 9...but well done Apple for an inspired naming scheme...not confusing at all.......bloody Muppets..someone needs a big slap .
    Some versions are better for some stuff than others.  I wish I had known you coudl keep older versions.

  • Silent Uninstall for older version of Java 2 RE.

    Is it possible to do a silent uninstall for the older version of Java 2 RE, specifically, RE 1.3.1_11? I know that we can for the newer versions.

    A silent uninstall of a JRE isn't supported until
    1.4.2.Thanks for your reply. Was this because InstallShield was not the supported installer?

  • Is there a way to download the older version of Pages 9 if you upgraded to the new one?

    Is there any way to download the older version of Pages (9) once you have updated to the newer Pages?

    If you’ve already purchased the new iWork apps in Mavericks, you can use this trick to get Pages 4.3. If you still have access to a Mac running Mountain Lion. It must be Mountain Lion or Lion. Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps that you can copy to another Mac.

  • I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive? 2) When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening?

    I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
    When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

    The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1.  I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success.  Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • I want to run a streaming quotes program on Scottrade. They tell me that their product does not work if I have more than one Java application on my Mac. How do I delete the older versions? Thanks

    I have the same problem, they never told me that, just that the newest version of Java "locks" up streaming quotes.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have upgraded to newer version of labview, and the older versions of LavVIEW are now piling up. Can I uninstall the older versions? if yes how?

    Do I have to keep all the old versions of LabVIEW as I did not uninstall the older versions, but only downloaded the latest version of labview from the website and installed it. A new version and icon is installed on my PC now. What can I do?

    You asked "Do I have to keep all the old versions...". Of course not. You can do whatever you want. Each version of LabVIEW installs in its own directory, which is what allows you to keep multiple versions installed in case you need to support programs written in earlier version that cannot be upgraded yet for whatever reason. Conflicts may arise if you install older versions later than new ones and you install the libraries for the hardware interfaces like VISA and such. Older versions of these libraries sometimes cause problems with newer versions of LabVIEW.
    If you do not want multiple versions, common practice is to completely uninstall the current version before installing the new one. If you have more than two versions but only want the latest, simply uninstall the older ones from the main NI installer. Depending on how old the versions are that you are uninstalling something with the new one may break so you may need to repair that installation. You may just want to simply uninstall all NI software and then just do a clean install of the latest version. That will likely be your best course of action.
