I seem to have both Java 6 and Java 7. Impossible?

I'm trying to disable, possibly remove, Java to prevent the exploits recently disclosed.
Following instructions on various sites, I'm trying to figure out which version I have installed. Supposedly 1.6 is safe from the recent expliots, and 1.7 is vulnerable.
In Terminal, I type:
java -version
and I get:
java version "1.6.0_41"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_41-b02-445-11M4107)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-445, mixed mode)
This seems to suggest I have 1.6, right?
But when I go to System Preferences and click the Java pane, a new window opens and it tells me:
Your current version is Java 7 update 9. It is recommended that you update now to keep your system secure.
So which is it? Why the contradiction?
I'm running Lion 10.7.5.
Thanks, in advance, for your help!

The difference is the java coming from
the JavaVM.framework  (The JDK, needed for development)
the Java Internet plugins (The JRE, needed for running applets / webstart)
The JDK version  (linked in /usr/bin , the one you are executing in the terminal)
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java -version
java version "1.6.0_41"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_41-b02-445-11M4107)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-445, mixed mode)
The Java Plugin (JRE) - the one you are seeing in the system preferences.
/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0_15"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_15-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

    On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move it. The apps will freeze and I have to "force quit" to get them to close. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and waking it up helps. Is there a way to remedy this?

    Hi Urs
    I searched a lot and maybe found a part of the reason for this high data traffic.
    I'm synchronizing my contacts, calendar & reminder with iCloud & my mail with Hotmail.
    When push is activated for Hotmail, that doesn't matter, but when push is activated for iCloud, the amount of data nearly explodes. So I turned iCloud to manual and let Hotmail on push.
    Contacts, calendar & reminder are synchronizing when opened (I think this is enough).
    Also I do a backup on iCloud and than I deactivate the function (I do not delete the last backup, I only deactivate the option for automatic backup).
    It seems, that the backup functionality also generates traffic when not on WiFi - especially at night!!
    The battery life has been getting better, when I deactivated the support for automatic time zone changes (location services were always on).
    The battery finaly got MUCH BETTER since the update on iOS 5.0.1.
    My traffic is actually higher than on iOS 4 but not so high as before I deactivated some services...
    I hope this info is a little help for you!!
    Let me know if this works for you, ok?
    Best regards,
    Wolfgang

    Hi Scott.
    There is a problem - but Apple have not acknowledged it. Many people on these forums are experiencing the same issue.
    To get something done, you should report it here. The more of us that tell Apple about it, the more likely they are to fix it. You could also send a short email headed 'Apple TV update problems' to

  • I have both a G9 and a G1 X. File size?

    I have both a G9 and a G1 X. I bought the G1X as an upgrade, which as we know all know is a mixed bag as the pitiful Macro is now clear. However, what truly puzzles me in the file size. What am I missing here? The G9 normally has file sizes just under 10, the G1X normally fewer than 3. Canon's answer seems to be smoke and mirrors, “they are better pixels” really doesn't seem to make sense. Any comments will be appreciated.

    Also, any thought on maximizing the macro abilities of the G1X.  I realize that it is not a great macro camera, but I would like to at least get the most out of it.
    Yes, you can get a close up filter. It will increase your magnification.

    Those are quality one, and of couse you can buy the Canon one or any cheaper alternative you can find. Good luck.

  • Can you have both flex tools and automation running

    HI
    I might be wrong and I. Hope that I am!!!!
    But I seemed to me that it created some automation on a track ...
    And then realised after a while that the flex tool was turned off and when to switch it back on and the automation turned off..
    I am right in thinking that you can't have both the automation and flex tool running at the same time...?????
    Anyone out there know the answer...
    Thanks!!!

    It would appear that you can't be in both modes simultaneously. You toggle between them.
    However, they are very different types of functions, and it would be difficult to manipulate Flex markers with Automation enabled. You'd be drawing nodes when you needed to be fixing timing issues.
    Toggling between them is easy enough.

  • I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account?

    I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You cannot merge accounts.

  • I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud, but they are not sharing the information between devices ie if I purchase an app on one it does not transfer to the other although the backup is successful via iCloud.

    I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud but the data is not being shared between the devices. When I backup it appears to be working as there are no error messages but the data is not shared between each. Any help would be great as this is very frustrating.

    Backing up to icloud is not the same as syncing data between devices.  Go to
    Settings>Store.  Turn on the automatic downloads that you want on that screen.
    Settings>iCloud.  Turn on the features you want to sync between devices.

    You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
    In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
    If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
    Do this from the Windows Desktop:
    If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose

  • Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

    Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

    The majority of the time using the 64 bit version is better, since you have more resources available (ram)
    If you need to run some older third party plugins that were only ever offered as 32 bit plugins, then the 32 bit version is the choice.
    Or if you happen to use a scanner with twain, then the 32 bit version.

  • How can I have both genius playlist and regular playlist on my new 160g ipod classic. The list of songs are there, but when I click playlist, I only get the genius playlists.

    How can I have both genius playlists and regular playlists available on my new 160g classic ipod. I can see my entire song list, but no playlist other than the 3 genius playlist I just made.  Also how can I delete a genius playlist. Made the same playlist twice by mistake. Thanks.

    This was not a simple task.  Got it handled.  Had to call Apple support. Apparently, the 160g only syncs the genius playlist.  You have to go in and "tell it" to sync the entire playlist as well as the genius playlists. There is also an option for only syscing certain songs. On itunes, there is two sections; one for the stuff that is synced on your ipod and another separate list for the stuff in your library!  This is exciting for me as I am not computer savvy to say the least.

  • I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

    I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

    Yes.
    If you double click on a PDF and your system uses 8 to open it, you may have to repair (Help>Repair... in Reader) the 9 installation or you could change your file associations to use 9 to open PDF files.
    If 9 opens them already, just remove 8 and you're good to go.
