HT5493 2012-006 removes Java Preferences - need 32-bit

I have OS 10.7.5 and need to preference 32-bit version of JVM to run some software that requires as much. Now the Java Preferences are inaccessible. Any idea how I can do this? Thanks.

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

Help - Safari won't open it just bounces, installed Java 2012-04 but java preferences is not picking it up

I''m new to the MacBook, I've got a late 2007 model running Lion 10.7. I installed iLife and removed some junk (software installed from previous user that was not properly licensed) then tried to open Safari. The icon just bounced and I got the error Safari quit unexpectedly. I downloaded the new Java that should fix the Flashback Malware issue (I did this because in the log it stated that garbage collection was turned off) onto my thumb drive, installed it on the Mac, opened Java Preferences and it only lists the 32 and 64 bit Java SE6. So now what???

Right or control click the Safari app in the Applications folder then click Get Info.
For Version. If you see 5.1.6 or 5.1.7 updating to Safari 6 may help. Apple has not posted a standalone Safari 6 intaller but there is a workaround.
Click here > Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
Then click the link posted by: gregoryfromcork
That will automatically download this file > Safari6Lion.pkg.download
Now quit Safari.
Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

Can't remove Java preference pane

I recently deleted Java from my Mac (Yosemite) following Oracle's instructions. I can't get the Java preference pane deleted however. When I try I get this: "The “JavaControlPanel” preferences pane could not be removed because an error occurred."
Any help is appreciated.

Click on the Finder icon.
Press cmd-shift-G. This opens the "Go to Folder" panel.
Type
/Library/PreferencePanes
then click the Go button.
Trash the icon

Java applet needs 32 bit

Was trying to scan a check for deposit in my bank but the java applet that the bank's site uses wouldn't work with my browser 'cause it was 64 bit. I tried going to 'Get Info' and checking the 'run in 32 bit mode' but it still didn't work.
Any ideas?

It may be that you have to reboot in 32-bit mode.

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!

How can i find java preferences on MAC 10.8.2

I recently upgraded to the new Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 but I can't find Java preferences anymore. I need to go onto an online banking page but it needs me to adjust some settings through Java Preferences, kindly please inform where can I get to the Java Preferences page?

The last Java update disabled Java plug-in and removed Java Preferences.app from your Utilities folder.
You can re-enable Java by follwing this support article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559
Or, you can update to Oracle's Java 7 here
http://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp?locale=en

HT5493 so do I need this Java OS X 2012-006 update or no?

so do I need this Java OS X 2012-006 update or no?

The operative words from that article are:
"This update also removes the Java Preferences application, which is no longer required to configure applet settings," the support note concludes.
(My bold)
In other words, the security risks of using Java have been removed, but without loss of functionality.
If you feel you must jave Java you can get it from here:

Java update 2012-006 did not remove Java plugin from any browser

I successfully installed Java update 2012-006 via Software Update on my iMac running OS X Lion 10.7.5 (German) and it updated the Java runtime to version 1.6.0_37 and removed the Java Preferences application as expected, but it did not remove the Java plugin from any browser!
Safari and Firefox can still use the Java plugin as before.
I repaired permissions, rebooted, manually downloaded Java update 2012-006 and successfully installed it again without any change to the Java plugin: it is still present on my system and fully functional from any browser!
The web is full with messages from users missing the Java plugin after installing this update - but I could not find anything about the plugin not being removed!
Is anyone experiencing the same behaviour under Lion? I thought this would happen only under Snow Leopard...
What should I do now? Can I really trust this "successfull installation" of Java update 2012-006 on my system?
Thanks,
Michael

Thanks - I will keep the symlink in place and I won't touch the Deploy bundle, because I need the plugin in Safari and I don't need Oracle's Java 7 for now...
If the plugin is supposed to stay in the Deploy bundle, this could help others who miss the plugin - they could just recreate the symlink, right?
To summarize I think we can state, that the Java update 2012-006 for Lion and Mountain Lion sometimes leaves the symlink in /Library/Internet Plugins/ untouched.
The circumstances that lead to this behaviour are still unknown.
The install log in Console shows that the scripts to create links and to delete obsolete files ran okay, but there was an error with the "postinstall" script. In spite of this the installation succeeded:

Does anybody know what "com.apple.mrt.uiagent" and "com.apple.mrt" stands for?
Obviously the "postinstall" script provides an invalid argument (at least on my system).
I have no idea if this is related to the Java Plugin symlink not being removed...

Java webstart after java 2012 006

Hi,
I updated last week my OSX Mountain Lion with the java for 2012-006 which disables the java web start and plugins.
I need however both web start (for starting .jnlp files) and plugins (vpn access).
Was able to restore some stuff from timemachine, currently my system is showing having java 1.6.0_37, my java preferences are showing Java Web start enabled (also the /Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.java.JavaPreferences.${MAC_UU ID}.plist shows this), but starting a .jnlp file, asks me every time to enable Web Start Applications and the launch fails.
Using java7 doesn't solve my problem either, the application itself does not run yep in an java7 environment.
Ramón
java version "1.6.0_37"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)

Did find the fix myself, besides the restore from timemachine, the correct definition of de symbolic link to /usr/bin/javaws was the fix.
The complete solution:
Restore from timemachine
/System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle
and /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app
/usr/bin$ ls -l javaws
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 76 Oct 18 12:23 javaws -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javaws

Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

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.

AppStore submissions fail after Java Update 2012-006 1.0

Dear All.
After running the Java Update 2012-006 1.0 submissions to the app store using XCode Organizer no longer work. Upload fails.
The error message is well known (an error occurred uploading to the itunes store) and it is also known that the error is related to Java as described in this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5783481/an-error-occurred-uploading-to-the-it unes-store - how ever the fixed described there did not work for me.
Uploading the app from a machine which did not run the update worked.
Best

Fixed... Here is what I did.
To start with I had installed Oracles Java 1.7 JDK, which was really messing things up.
Went to Finder>Applications and entered in Search box - JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
Right clicked and removed to trash.
A check in Terminal for Java version still showed Java 1.7
my-imac:~ my$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode)
1. Finder>Computer>Library>Java>JavaVirtualMachines showed the 1.7 SDK (make note of exact name of the Directory name)
Just in case anything went wrong I copied the 1.7 SDK folder to my desktop before doing the next item
2. In terminal type
cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
3. You should now be in that directory
sudo rm -rf jdk1.7.0_06.jdk (or whatever the exact name of the directory is in step 1.)
You may have to enter your administrator password
The directory should now be deleted and you can verify in Terminal by
java -version
Mine now showed "Java 1.6_xxx"
Went into Xcode Organizer and distributed my app to the iTunes store without a problem. Whoo,hoo!
