Hi! 
I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

Don't change your story now. You did not say through Apple, you first gave a link to this site,
http://www.java.com/en/download/apple.jsp
You said, "Go there and download the latest version of Java"
that plainly says,
"Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below
Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac."
This corroborates me saying that Java for Mac OS 10.6 is done through Software Update, no where else.
If any Mac OS 10.6 user does not have Java on their Mac, they get it from Apple just as the link you provided shows it is from Apple. Not Oracle. You have provided the evidence that plainly contradicts yourself.
This is your second link that is to Apple.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
Just to go over this again. Software Update not only updates Java to the latest, but if Java does not exist at all, SU will install it from scratch. And in doing so will be the latest version.
Providing a link to Oracle's site is useless information that does not get Java installed on a Mac running 10.6.

    hi, i have zte open c with Fos 1.3 and there is no russian keyboard in settings (rus locale working fine), how can i install it? (i do not use linux) may be there is firmware update or something in market?

    To give an update on this issue, here is the latest information I have:
    "Indeed the current eBay Open C doesn't come with root privilege. Now ZTE is going to put an engineering build on their website for users to download and flash."
    I will update this thread as I know more information. Thank you for your patience.

  • HT1925 i have delete whatsapp by mistake and now the new version is not compatible with my iphone, how can i take it back again ?

    Hello i need help, i unloaded the new version of whatsapp and now is not working because my phone is not compatible, i delete it, and now i can not unloaded it again ! how can i unload the old version again ? thanks

    If you did not make a backup of the old version of the app before you deleted it, there's no way you can get it back now. The current version should still work on your iPhone 3GS, though. You just need iOS 4.3 or later, so if your iPhone still has an older version, update to the latest iOS.
    If, however, you really have an iPhone 3G, not a 3GS, then unless again you make a backup copy of the old version of the app, there's nothing you can do until you're ready to get a newer iPhone since iOS 4.2.1 is the final version your iPhone 3G will run.
    This question, by the way, would have better been posted in the Using iPhone forum rather than here in the QuickTime forum.
    Regards.

  • So I have an Ipod Touch and an Iphone, the ipod has now been given to my daughter how can I set a different password and account for that??

    So I am trying to almost totally reset my ipod so my daughter can have it and not have a credit card attached and also i want a different appleID--Is this possible?? any how??

    First create a new ID by:
    How do I get an Apple ID?
    You may already have an Apple ID, and you only need one for everything you do with Apple. If you aren't sure, visitMy Apple ID and click "Find out."
    If you don't have an Apple ID, you can create one at My Apple ID. You can also create one by signing up for an Apple service (such as an iTunes Store or iCloud). You should use your primary email address as your Apple ID.
    What happens when you try to create a new account? Error message?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you haven't installed Java yet, download and install it >http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 Keep Safari closed during installation and restart your computer when finished. It's not necessary, but it's to make sure that Java installation went properly.
    Then, go to a Java site and see if you can watch Java content. It's important to keep it updated, and disable it when you aren't using it. You can do it in Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Security

    Here is a copy of the error
    This means : Installation failed.
    Verification of the Adobe Software failed
    The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

    If your serial number is listed as being valid at http://www.adobe.com/ then I would recommend obtaining a fresh copy of the installation files.  You can find details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • I  have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.2. Frequently the system fails detect a CD. Doesn't seem to make a difference if it contains music or is blank. I am unable to eject the CD. The system just doesn't recognize that a CD has been loaded.

    Step one, boot the new MBA into recovery mode (CMD+R on startup), launch Disk Utility, wipe the HD, and restore the OS. On reboot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

    Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

    sonjadg,
    you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update  to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.

  • I have mac air late 2009 model identifier 2,1 running os 10.6. i want to know can i upgrede it 10.8?

    i have mac air late 2009 model identifier 2,1 running os 10.6. i want to know can i upgrede it 10.8?

    Upgrading is rather simple.
    First you need to enure you have enough free hard disk space. The quickest way to do this is to click on Spotlight (the magnifying glass at the top right corner of your screen) then search for and open an app called Disk Utility. Once Disk utility opens you need to highlight the second item on the left which is called MacintoshHD by default. Then look on the lower right for available disc space is gigabytes. You need a minimum of 8gb available.
    Got enough space? Great. Next click on the Apple menu on the top right corner and select "About this Mac" and make sure you are running 10.6.8. If not click software update and install it.
    Once you verify you are on 10.6.8 then click on the Apple menu at the top right and select the third item on the list called the App Store. Mountain Lion is on the lower right of the first page that loads. After that you click on the $19.99 then enter you account to continue. I assume you already have an itunes store account so use that for payment. As soon as the charge goes through it starts to download. Its about 4gb so it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours depending on your internet connection speed.
    If its going to take a long time you may want to go to the Apple Menu at the top right and select system preferances then Energy Saver on the second line. Then move the slider on the first line all the way to the right so the Mac will not go to sleep during the download. Also be sure to plug in the power cord. Once you upgrade this setting will be retained so when you are done you will need to go back and change this setting, its the same in the newer version.
    When its done downloading it will ask you to install. Its pretty simple, you need to enter your Administrator password and agree to the liscense and click next a few times. Be sure to select Macintosh HD and not Recovery HD to install to. I wouldn't imaging the installation taking more than 15 minutes after it is done downloading.
    Also if you chose not to install when its done downloading you can do it later. All you have to do is search spotlight for "Install OSX Mountain Lion". The app is in the Applications folder. Also be sure to make a backup before upgrading. It should go through OK but there is always a chance it will not.
    Good luck!

  • I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up.  The open at login is not even checked.  How can I stop this from happening?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X.  Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing.  I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked.  How can I turn this feature off?  It's driving me nuts!!

    All fixed Barry.  When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there.  Do you want to open Windows when opening.  NOPE!!
    I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked.  Thank you for your help today.
    Best,
    Michelle
