HT5493 Advantages/Disadvantages? to update: Java for OS X 2012-006

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.

HT1222 The update "Java for OS X 2012-006" can't be installed

Hello - When updating software I get the following message: The update "Java for OS X 2012-006" can't be installed. You don't have permission. I am using the admin user on this computer. Any ideas? I have problems in the past and had to clear cache - could this have caused some permission issues?
Thank you!

"the update java for os X 2012-006 can't be installed"

I was in the Western Digital page and wanted to run java. When clicked to, the system started download "Java SE 6 runtime" from apple. At the end of download, the system shows this error: "the update java for os X 2012-006 can't be installed".
Does anyone knows what is the pronlem and how to resolve it ?
Kindest Regards,

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

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.

The update "Java for OS X 2012-004" can't be installed.

I have been trying to install this since I could not install my jes without java runtime but everytime i'm going to install the java is came up with the error. I don't know what's going on. i need to install softwares required for uni so i need this java to work. please help.

Hi mendel1. That works!!! thanks a lot. xoxox

HT4883 The update "Java for OS X 2012-004" can't be installed.

that's the issue i'm having now. how can I fix that? ..urgent help please.

Hi mendel1. That works!!! thanks a lot. xoxox

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.

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.

ColdFusion 8 Fails to start after update Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 4

I have been using ColdFusion on a Mac for years. Now CF fails to start after I updated Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4. I usually start by typing in the terminal window sudo /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin/ColdFusion start.
There is a crash report but I don't know how to read it. See attached.
Please help, I need this working for my job.
Thanks...Colin

Dear Craig,
Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM
I'm sure that this is 64-bit
CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.

java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)

CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the
message process is completed in the terminal window CF disappears in the
activity monitor.
Any suggestions?

Hi, Colin,
My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
(Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
To start, try the following:
1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
2. Open Java Preferences again
3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
Plugin and Applications)
4. Open Terminal
5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
6. Try to start CF again
This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
and easier).
If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
/Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
necessary!
Best,
Craig

Failed update: "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6"

In successfully updating to OS X 10.4.11 from 10.4.10 the subject java update, "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6", came up from Software Update. In trying to install it, it stalled at the very end of the installation. It again failed on a second try. Later on, using Spotlight, I checked my existing Java version to already be Java 1.4.2 plug-in settings -- the target update from java 1.4. Do I really need this Java Release 6? I'm running Sarafi 3.0.4 and Netscape 7.2. Thanks.

I'd be suspicious about an aborted partial install myself, have you tried the stand alone installer?
I'd Verify the HD, Repair Permissions, then get...

How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?

Hi,
When I ran Secunia Software Inspector today it told me that
the version of Java I have installed on my computer is out of date.
It tells me that it is finding 3 out-of-date files:
Once here:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\java.exe
Twice here:
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
and three times here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
I updated Java via the Sun website and consequently the first
and second warnings disappeared when I reran the Software
Inspector.
The software inspector however is still finding an
out-of-date Java version here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
Question is: How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?
Is it adequate to copy the updated file "java.exe" from
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\" to "C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\" or do I need to do anything
else?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi
I have the same problem of you, and the same dont find a
solution. Me it's Kaspersky Anti Virus (AV) which find this
problem.
So (and I dont know if this solution is perfect), but I open
Flash CS3 with the Java update choiced and apparently Flash
fonctionnely well and Kaspersky dont find this
prob now. But I dont never use Java in Flash (or without that
I know that..), and same, I dont know at what Java is used in Flash
I think that "JRE v 1.6.0_04" and more recent Java version is
not good, because it's not quite the same Java application that in
Flash CS3, In Flash CS3 it's "J2RE" and
not "JRE".
The history of all Java versions (and this) is here (
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/)
(but in all this versions... seriousely it's a true shambles !)
If you want the last version for J2RE in this archives it's v
1.4.2.18 but the last version is J2RE 1.4.2.19 but dont again in
this archives
(search on Java site, maybe first page ? I dont remember
where I to find it...). But the problem... it's that this last
version (19) is always detected bad by my AV...
So I decide to use just the next version (v 1.5) and last
version in this series (in archives site) which is the "JDK/JRE -
5.0 v 5.0.16" but again named "Java 2 Platform
Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 16" in this dowload next
archives page
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_16/index.html),
so well again named "Java 2" in this page (that which dont
the case for the equivalent same download page for Java 6...)
(Choice "JRE 5.0 Update 16" in this page)
For instal "JRE 5.0 Update 16":
1) Supp all files and folders in "JVM" (Java Virtual Machine)
folder in Flash CS3 (but dont supp this folder, empty now) and save
this contents in archive in you have
affraid.
2) dl "JRE 5.0 Update 16", directly in this page if you want:
(https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/View ProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-1.5.0_16-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Dev
eloper)
3) In install, choice "personal instal" (or +/- the same
terms) and choice the "JVM" folder of you Flash CS3
and AV dont detect this version same a bad file

HT1222 Weird security update Java for OS X 2013-003

Why is the security update Java for OS X 2013-003 causing my 15" rMBP to start displaying a flashing window asking me if I want to allow the application "java" to accept incoming network connections?
OS X 10.8.3

It appears that these errors are arising because:
Oracle Java has been installed on your system,
there is some add-on code that is running, and that is using Oracle Java components,
the add-on code is attempting to initiate network connections,
and the Oracle Java connections are failing.
Basically, there is Oracle Java code running here somewhere — code which is not part of OS X, as OS X 10.7 and later do not include Oracle Java by default — and this (unknown) code is using Oracle Java and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and the code is encountering some new "defensive' measures. Or is encountering an Oracle Java bug, which would be an Oracle issue with their Oracle Java product.
Y'all have to figure out what code is running here (and that is dependent on Oracle Java and the JVM), and if the code is expected and necessary here, to then work with the vendor to resolve the behavior here and/or upgrade to the provider's current version of the software.
Based on the DDService64d reference, there appears to be Drobo software here, and some Drobo software apparently requires Java and the JVM. Here is some information from Drobo. (There's a recommendation there to disable Gatekeeper, and — while that likely does resolve the issues referenced — I'd prefer to avoid disabling Gatekeeper in general.)
Again, figure out what's installed and using Java here. Remove it, upgrade it, or check with the vendor.
Oracle Java does have a recent history of various serious security issues, and it's common practice to disable the Oracle Java web-start plug-in, or to entirely avoid installing Oracle Java on OS X on 10.7 and later. If you're not using and don't need Oracle Java, then don't install it. If you've previously installed Oracle Java and don't need it (as is the case on OS X 10.7 and later), reportedly Oracle has a tool which can remove Oracle Java.
note: Oracle Java is completely different from JavaScript.
