HT5367 Why does Java for OS X 2012-006 lead to this article!!!

On Apple.com -> Support -> Downloads, searching for Java for OS X 2012-006, opening the article to download leads to Java for OS X 2012-005.
So I can't download the Java, and it's telling me I have missing content.
Could use please fix this?
Regards

No I did have Java 7 installed.
Then I uninstalled it, using the guide from here: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml
It worked fine with 1.6.0_35 untill Apple released 1.6.0_37, then it just stopped working. In Safari, FF and Chrome.
Tried installing Java 7 again now that 1.7.0_9 had come out to see if that solved my problems, but no that was equally screwed. So uninstalled it again.
Where Java should run it just says "missing addon" or rather since it's danish "manglende tilbehør".
I daily support people with their computer, and I'm close to saying I have to reinstall my mac to get java working again, and that's just dumb.
If they would just link to a proper download article so you could download java 1.6.0_37 for mac os 10.8 then the world would be a but more peachy.

  • Cannot update / install java for OS X 2012 - 006 on 10.7.5

    after reinstalling/restoring from lion restore disk, on boot, system requests me to install java for OS X 2012 - 006
    with automatic download failed :
    after downloading the install file from downloads archive I got also bad response :
    I did also try to repair permissions and found many problems all with the same start route like this:
    ACL found but not expected on “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/....... and more ”
    please some help, thank you

    thank you baltwo for your reply
    well, the download of the files I mentioned before (second screenshot) ... the library files I just removed also before without success (not mentioned before, right) ... and now I tested other ways more and found a temporary solution ... I write down the steps for other users:
    1) first try: downloading the lion 10.7.5 combo update from apple downloads was not corrupted and was working fine, the itunes, java files where still corrupted and not working ....
    2) tested downloads of other web-pages -> all safe and working
    3) restart/reset router and airport = no success for requested apple downloads
    4) unplugged router/ethernet and download over airport only the apple-files through SU and was working ! success !
    so remains the question of all this why and how ? it's not the provvider, it's not ethernet, it's not apple download page ... ????
    however ... at the moment I'm safe and I hope everybody else with this problem finds the solution in the same way

  • Java for OS X 2012-006 Problem Failed Installation

    Hi, I have this problem with my Java for OS X 2012-006. I wanted to use a Java using application, but tells me to install a new version of Java (2012-006).
    Startup runs fine but then says that the Installation Failed.
    I tried this multiple times then gave up. I searched Google and it led me to:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5493
    I downloaded it, Mounted the DMG and ran the .pkg
    I agree to everything and then ran Install. Then the error "The Installation Failed" with a warning sign comes up, telling me to contact the software manufacturer.
    So i go on to the Java website, Searched up Installation Fail "Java" and then told me to Uninstall and then Re-Install.
    For Uninstalling, the files were not there. So I Ignored it.
    I then donwloaded Java 7 Update 10, but soon to be the same error as the Java OS X 2012-006 error.
    My Computer is a Late 2012 Macbook Pro 13-Inch.
    Is there any text that logs what I am doing in the installer? If you tell me where that is, i'll give it to you.
    Thanks for reading. And Please help.

    And This was when i installed Java Version 7 Update 10

  • Java for OS X 2012-006 says "A newer version is already installed"

    ...which is true.
    I downloaded the latest Java update today on OS X Lion 10.7.5 (and some other updates).
    I also updated to the latest Java from Oracle (so I was running 1.7 u9 and 1.6 u37). But, the Apple Java update today looks like it got rid of /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences, so I was having some trouble trying to figure out another problem.
    Fast forward a bit and I've hosed up everything. I have Oracle 1.7 u7 installed, but need the Apple 1.6 stuff still. However, when I go to install it, I get the error above: "Alert: A newer version of this package is already installed."
    However, at this point I've deleted a bunch of files in /System/Libraries, in /Libraries, and there is no /usr/bin/java or /usr/libexec/java_home, etc.
    Where in the world does Installer find the previous version and know it's already been installed? Can I somehow make it forget it installed it once and just have it reinstall?

    OK, I think I fixed it (sort of).
    I had tried editing /System/Library/CoreServices/JavaVersion.plist and adding in an older version of Java, but maybe it was looking at the timestamp of the file? I eventually downloaded an earlier version of Apple's Java and manually extracted the packages/contents into a temporary directory. Then I copied over a few directions/executables into the reals /System/Library/Java* areas.
    I re-ran the 006 update and it stuck. I'm guessing the JavaVersion.plist file was it but I don't know for sure (would love to know for sure how Installer.app knows what is installed, where it looks, etc).
    I think this also blew away my Oracle Java 7 install, but that's okay for now because I think I can reinstall that easier.

    See there is an update to uninstall Java, but then click on webpage to download new Java from Oracle. Wondering if this is a good thing or not.

    Works here. Apple's no longer supplying the Java Runtime Environment component or managing it. Oracle is.

  • Java problem after update 2012-006

    Hi,
    Today was update 2012-006 concerning java. It deinstalls java 6 from your mac. If you want java, you get it from java.com. This is a java 7 version.
    but help: I want to go back!
    there are some web-apps that do not work with this new java-version. Downgrading is not possible, becauase java 6 is only available through mac update itself. And if I want to install this again, it says that a newer version is already installed.
    can anybody hellp me out?

    Today was update 2012-006 concerning java. It deinstalls java 6 from your mac.
    That is not actually correct, according to Apple's documentation of Java for OS X 2012-006:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5549
    It should update Java to 1.6.0_37, which is still Java 6. (Java 7 is 1.7.x.) However, Apple has changed the way Java works. The system now disabled Java by default, and if you turn Java back on, the system will disable it again if you don't use it for a certain period of time. It's also possible that the system will disable Java every time there's an update. (I'm not sure about that, as I don't have Java installed myself, for security reasons.)
    For more information about this, including how to re-enable Java, see Using Java in Mac OS X. You should note, though, that enabling Java in your web browser has become a very risky proposition... Java has more holes in it than Swiss cheese!

  • HT5367 Does anyone know if I can download this version of Java - for OS X 2012-005 - the new Java update is a total mess and it is preventing me from working... need to go back :-(

    Does anyone know if I can download this version of Java - for OS X 2012-005 - the new Java update is a total mess for me and is preventing me from working remotely...  :-( really need to go back to older Java, don't have the Time Machine set up ...  Thx

    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...

    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

    You're confusing the browser plug-in with the JVM.

  • Why does Java have such a large footprint?

    I've been curious about this topic for a while, but I haven't ever looked into this to any depth. I also posted this to stackoverflow but haven't gotten any solid responses so far:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1107991/why-does-java-have-such-a-large-footprint
    Java - or at least Sun's Hotspot JVM - has long had a reputation for having a very large memory footprint. What exactly is it about the JVM that gives it this reputation? I'd be interested in a detailed breakdown: how much memory goes to the runtime? (The JIT? The GC/memory management? The classloader?) Anything related to "auxiliary" APIs like JNI/JVMTI? The standard libraries? (Which parts get how much?) Any other major components?
    I realize that this may not be straightforward to answer without a concrete application plus VM configuration, so just to narrow things down at least somewhat: I'm primarily interested in default/typical VM configurations, and in a baseline console "Hello world" app as well as any real-world desktop or server app. (I'm suspecting that a substantial part of the JVM's footprint is largely independent of the app itself, and it is in this part that I'd like to zoom in, ideally.)
    I have a couple of other closely related questions:
    Other similar technology, such as .NET/mono, don't exhibit nearly the same footprint. Why is this the case?
    I've read somewhere on the intarwebs that a large portion of the footprint is due simply to the size of the standard libraries. If this is the case, then why is so much of the standard libraries being loaded up front?
    Are there any efforts (JSRs, whatever) to tame the memory footprint? The closest thing I've come across is a project to reduce the on-disk footprint of the JVM [1] and to modularize the standard library [2].
    I'm sure that the footprint has varied over the past decade or so with every new version of Java. Are there any specific numbers/charts chronicling precisely how the JVM's footprint has changed?

    Presumably versus some other VM. I would suppose the fact that much of the VM is written in java has something to do with it.

    Not sure I agree with that. What size do you see with a .Net app that uses 3.0/3.5?
    I've read somewhere on the intarwebs that a large portion of the footprint is due simply to the size of the standard libraries. If this is the case, then why is so much of the standard libraries being loaded up front?
    Good question. There is a feature that allows multiple VMs to use the same memory footprint version of the loaded libraries. That is a new feature and it isn't clear to me if it covers the entire API. I do not know if that is dynamically built.

  • Error when downloading Java for OS X 2012-003

    Hey guys just wondering if you would be able to help me.  I have had this issue for the last week and cant seem to find anything to sort it out.
    I am unable to download Java for OS X 2012-003 version 1.0 66.8MB
    At the end of the installation process (when is states that it is moving items into place) and error message appears.  It says
    " The update Java for OS X 2012-003 cant be installed.  An unexpected error occured"
    The same message appeared when trying to download Java for OS X 2012-002.  I have not had any trouble dowloading other sofware updates (I tunes, i photo etc)
    I have tried downloading the updates from the Apple webiste but i get an error stating that an unexpected error occured and they ask if i would like to send apple a report.  To which i have said yes.
    Any suggestions on how to rectafy this problem as i am aware that this update is to help protect against malware etc.
    Thanks heaps in advance

    Shut down. Then reboot holding down the command-r keys into the Lion Recovery disk. Select Disk Utility and run Repair Disk.

  • Java for OS X 2012-002 update fails verify

    Is anyone else seeing the problem where mounting the Java for OS X 2012-002 downloaded from Apple's support site fails to verify?  SHA1 hash verifies correctly.  This is snippet of hdiutil attach -debug output:
    ** Checking volume bitmap.
    ** Checking volume information.
       Volume header needs minor repair
    ** The volume Java for OS X 2012-002 was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.

    I see that this has been reported here in this discussion group.  This is somewhat embarassing for Apple given that this 2012-002 was released directly on the heels of 001 to fix unspecified issues.  The Software Update-delivered update appears to not have issues though.  This would only be a problem for those of us who are using other mechanisms for updating. Hmmm.  Apple, please fix the DMG and repost.

  • Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?

    Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?
    I created a project a few months ago, and iMovie worked as it always had. I would create a project, add a background song, then add photos to fill up the song.
    When I created a project today, I added the background song (4m9s), then added a single photo, and the background song length was shortened to 6 seconds. I have never seen the app work this way. I know I can extend the photo to the length of the background song, but it used to be so much easier to add photos and sync them with the music as I desi
    I'm using iPad2 with iMovie v1.4.1.
    Thoughts?

    When I've added photos to a project they are added to a default time to appear. Honestly I've never looked at the time but 6 seconds sounds close. I'm guessing that since you added the photo after you add the music that its thinking you want the two to match in time length so it tunicates the music. Try adding the photo first then add the music. Good luck!
