I find the remove older Java tool not very useful - Can't it identify the troubled applications

Suggestion - Why not make  an analyze  / remove older Java JDKs and JREs?
The ideal application would analyze both Windows Registry and  XML files for any reference to Java and determine the versions they would use if they were made available on
the file system / registry(windows). I would rather know that some nasty 3rd party application Norton Internet Security may be using as an example can be identified and disarmed
by either removing that application from the file system or updating the application to properly fix it. Also when no updates are available why not create a legacy release that
allows all versions to run under a wrapper that can handle any would be security violations that come along
Also if someone could please tell me what Oracle means when they state the importance of patching CPU fixes?  What exactly are these so called, CPU fixes and why are they so vital??
I believe Oracle owes its developers much more than some lame removal tool that could leave software on the client system or server just plain BROKEN.
Being an Oracle  Certified Java Professional  I think we deserve much more from Oracle on these issues. You know today Oracle gets the blame for all the Java
security vulnerabilities, exploits and successful hacks going on today. How can I be expected to develop code today with such stigmas
When the public starts raving about the safety of PHP and .NET compared to the awful problems of security found with Java software well lets just say it makes a harsh economic condition 100 times worse.
I am hugely disappointed in how Oracle is handling things with Java in this respect. They should be doing far better - Its outrageous it took 45 updates to maybe get things right and even that can not be a  sure thing. Based on Oracle's track record  I expect 60 updates by the end of the year and that just seems so wrong
These are just a few of my pet peeves on this issue

The Select>Color Range is only in the full versions of photoshop such as photoshop cs6.
As far as i know that's never been available in photoshop elements (from the factory sorta speak) except in version 3 using an action created in photoshop.
There are many other ways to make selections in photoshop elements.
As a side note and not really pertaining to your version of elements, years ago back in the pre os x days, there was a plugin for photoshop/photoshop le/pse 1 on macs quite similar in function to select>color range.

  • Where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable.

    where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable. Thank you.

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

    How much space is there according to airport utility?
    TM can be fussy.. Do a factory reset of the TC and give it a new name. Use short, no space and pure alphanumeric type names..
    And reset TM. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Then set up TM again to the TC and see if TM will start .. the reset will not hurt the backup and TM can still find it on a renamed TC.

  • I can't find the safari application anywhere in my preferences. how do i access safari and put it on my dock?

    our computer has two profiles. one profile has safari and we are able to access the internet. on the other profile, the safari application would display a question mark on it when i tried to open the application. i removed the safari application from the dock. now, i can't find the safari application anywhere to be able to use it and put it on my dock.

    It sounds like Safari has somehow been installed in a user / Applications folder instead of the Macintosh HD / Applications folder where it should be.
    Log in as the user that can open Safari, navigate to home / Applications and drag the Safari icon out of there to the Macintosh HD / Applications folder. Then drag it to the Dock and drop it when the other icons move aside for it.
    You should now be able to access Safari from all accounts.

    Ahmed,
    Follow the steps in the prerequisites:
    Prerequisites
    Before starting this tutorial, you should have completed the hands-on lab entitled Developing Business Services. If not then you need to download the FusionOrderApp.zip and the Infrastructure.zip applications. In both cases unzip them to a temp directory and then open them in JDeveloper 11g.
    Best,

  • Java program not working using newer version of scheduler (AutoSys)

    A little background: I'm in the middle of trying to upgrade our AutoSys server (scheduler) to the latest version (version R4 to R11) and have to do regression testing to ensure our jobs will work in the new version. There's a small java program that is not working supposedly due to the following error:
    Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/f1j/swing/common/JDKAdapter
    at com.f1j.swing.common.Adapter.<clinit>(Adapter.java:86)
    at com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook.<init>(JBook.java:3032)
    at com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook.<init>(JBook.java:3096)
    at com.test.Foo.performScan(Foo.java:122)
    So in the old version (R4), it runs fine. In R11, I get the exception above. The CLASSPATH matches and I've verified that by echoing it in the shell script that calls the java program. Here's how it's called in the shell script.
    echo $CLASSPATH
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java com.test.Foo
    So the Foo class was written by me, which makes use of this external library called f1j11swing.jar (for spreadsheet creation).
    The source of the error is from this line in Foo (line 122):
              book = new com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook();
    The funny part is JDKAdapter (the missing class) is in the same jar file as JBook, so it definitely finds the library in the classpath. But for some reason, this new AutoSys version is spitting out this error. I've exhausted many approaches to resolving this, but I'm still stuck.
    Here's the layout of how things are called (should be same for R4 and R11):
    1. AutoSys server logs into client machine XYZ as user arnold
    2. arnold (AutoSys client) on XYZ executes shell script to call java program
    The only significant difference I see is that the AutoSys server in R4 is HP while the R11 server is Sun. However, it shouldn't matter because the client server they're logging into to execute the script is the same linux server.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I've already started dialogue with the vendor and it seems kind of in limbo at the moment. Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

    Hi DrClap,
    I just checked jre/lib/ext of my $JAVA_HOME and verified that there doesn't exist any library with a class named "Adapter." We don't put anything in this directory other than what came with the original installation. I've tried isolating the jars before as well, by doing something like (to no avail):
    java -cp /users/test/lib/f1j11swing.jar:/users/test/lib/Foo.jar com.test.Foo
    If I remove the f1jswing11.jar path in the above command, it will complain about other things. Also, for fun, I tried dropping f1j11swing.jar into the ext folder and removing it from the CLASSPATH and it yielded the original error. Running it directly from the shell and old version of autosys works fine.
    I hope I understood your suggestion correctly and please let me know if you have any other ideas. I'm surprised why java would act differently with a different version of an AutoSys client logging into the same machine and environment. Thanks.
    xiarce - I haven't heard anything regarding this, but I'll bring it up. Thanks.

  • Java Applets not working using IE 6 after uninstalling software

    I uninstalled some software on WinXP using Add/Remove, however the software still left remnants on my system. I tried to removing all the entries in the registry with RegEdit....I will confess I am a rookie with that tool, however now IE 6 will not launch Java Applets on the web sites I visit.
    I also have Mozilla Firefox 8 installed and Java Applets work fine using that browser. Do I have to reinstall WinXP to correct IE 6, or is there an easier alternative?
    Thanks for any suggestions

    in that please check out that whether the Java(SUN) --- (USe Java....<applet> Requires reStart...

  • I can't find the Pages application

    i have already bought Pages as an app on my ipad and have now bought a macbook air. I went onto the apple store and downloaded the Pages app for mac's but now can't find the app even when i search for it, just the individual documents from my pages app on my ipad. Where is the Pages app on my macbook?

    If you downloaded Pages for the Mac, it should be in the Applications folder. Open Finder and press Shift+Command+A. Look for it in there. And also look in the Launchpad. Or search for it in Spotlight (it also will tell you where it is).
    If you still can't find it you can download it again. Note: Pages for iPad and Pages for Mac are two difference apps. Purchasing one does not mean you don't have to buy the other one designed for the other platform.

  • Cannot find the iMovie application

    I just started teaching at a new school which uses iMacs. The students in my classes are doing video work, and need iMovie. For some reason I cannot find iMovie in the applications folder (nor any of the subfolders). It doesn't show up in a search either. When I use spotlight and find iMovie projects, however, the program will open. How can I find the .app file (I'm assuming that's what I'm looking for, but I'm not really a mac poweruser yet so I'm not sure) and put it back in the applications folder then put it back on the dock?
    I also don't have access to the original install disc, so I have to fix this without reinstalling anything.
    Thanks!

    It has likely moved to another page on your iPad.  To swipe between pages, take your finger and swipe left on the home page to get to the next page.  Keep doing so until you find the App.  Another way to find the App is while on your home page, touch your home button once and Spot Light Search will appear.  In the search bar, type iBooks and your iPad will locate the App.  If all that fails, you can connect your iPad to your iTunes account via your computer.  After your iPad syncs, open the device by clicking on the iPad from the left hand side of your screen.  Once your device is open in iTunes, click on the Apps button above and make sure iBooks is checked.  If it is not, put a check in the box and the App will appear on your iPad screen.
