I've 2 versions of Java installed! How can I uninstall Apple's Java 6?

This is where I'm at
* Updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
* Installed Oracle Java 7 update 7 dmg
* Misread an out of date OS X Daily blog where I got this Terminal command java -version. It lead me to think Java 7 wasn't installed
* Installed Apple Java 6 via the Java Prefs app. Thought this would somehow lead to a Java 7 upgrade along the way.
* Realised that Oracle Java 7 was installed fine the first time, but java -version doesn't work with it !!
* Now I have 2 versions of Java installed!
* I reinstalled Java 7 (this time using 7 update 10) hoping it would remove Apple's Java 6 but it didn't remove it.
*For some reason too the old Java Prefs app has been automatically deleted too, so I can't switch Apple Java 6 off.
Confirmation that I have 2 Java versions installed
If I type the terminal command java -version it says I have Apple Java 6 installed.
If I open LibreOffice/Preferences/Java it says I have Apple Java 6 installed.
If I open Play Station 3 Media Server it says it's using Apple Java 6.
If I open some other Java .jar apps like JOSM it says it's using Oracle Java 7
Oracle has a FAQ that recomnds deleteing old versions of Java, but very helpfully only gives instructions for Windows.
How can I uninstall Apple's Java 6?
Thanks

Reinstall the OS …  meaning reinstall OS X?!   Is that not a bit over the top?
>"BTW, do note that all you're really doing is changing the Java Runtime Environment component and not Java."
At this stage I don't have a clue what I doing !!
In the past week and a half I have had a belly-full of Java name permutations. What kind of sick, twisted mind came up with Java naming scheme: Just take the word Java and append two or three letters to it using every permutation possible, throw in a few numbers for good measure, and then when discussing it just use the generic term Java… that'll really catch 'em out.
…Java SE, Jave RE, Java JDK,Java Platform, Apple Java 6, Oracle Java 7, Java 1.6.0_27, Java 1.7.0_10, Java 6, Java 7, ….. not to mention Java FX, Java DB, Java ME, Java EE, Java DST…

  • How can I uninstall this latest java upgrade?

    I just installed a java upgrade called "build 1.6.0_05-b13 and now I cannot get Microsoft Front Page 2003 to work. I have to use MS Front Page to maintain my website. How can I uninstall this latest java upgrade so it will go back to using my previous version of java?

  • HT5246 Everyone has Java installed - how can this tool work?

    Every Mac (and PC user for that matter) has Java installed.  Even if you did not have it, Apple's last two updates installed new versions.  How can this malware tool work?  And why is it limited to Lion? 
    Apple - this is not what your customers rightly expect and could be crippling to your reputation.
    Do this over and do it right.  Thankyou.

    Every Mac (and PC user for that matter) has Java installed.
    That's incorrect.
    How can this malware tool work?
    By updating Java, if present, and removing the malware files, if present.
    And why is it limited to Lion?
    It isn't. There's a Java update for Mac OS X 10.6.8 that does the same things.

    Hi Expert,

    Hi Olivier,
          Some futher questions puzzled me after reading your answers, I need you to clarity my understanding.
          Could you explain more details for the using of ABAP Customizing in Java Stack.
          What you have told me,
          I need 1) Install EP + EPC in JAVA Stack
                     2) import ABAP roles into UME
                     After the above steps then I could run Customizing Process in EP Running Environment. (Is this executed in SAP GUI at last? or directly in EP? )
                      PS: could report form in ABAP can be used in Java Stack?
            Thanks for your help in advanced.

  • HT1338 I installed the wrong java on my mac, how can I uninstall it?

    I need java to be able to log onto my work website.  For some reason it wasn't on my mac.  I installed the wrong version by accident, then I installed the correct version, but now neither will work.  How can I uninstall the wrong version? Whenever I try to put it in the trash it won't delete says error code 61! ugh

    Good news is it didn't install & you have the latest Java for 10.5.8...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
    About Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10
    Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10 delivers improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26 for 64-bit capable Intel-based Macs. 
    J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update.
    So now we need to find where those files really are, if that was -61 then...
    wrPermErr                     = -61,  /*write permissions error*/
    It sounds like they're in your pictures folder if they show up on a Screen Saver!? You cant trash thm from there.

  • How can I uninstall a previously installed version of Aperature from another owner?

    Hi,
    I purcased my iMac from a previous owner.  His version of Aperature is still on it - registered under his AppleID.  I would like to uninstall it as it is preventing me from using my own version of iPhoto.  How can I do this?  Would it be asvisable to uninstall it and then purchase a new version of Aperature and then convert my iPhoto library to Aperature?  Right now, iPhoto wont launch becuase it wants me to upgrade Aperature, but I don't own a registered copy to my Apple ID, so I can't upgrade it.
    My setup is:
    iMac 27" 12,2
    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    32GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048MB
    OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
    Aperature 3.2.4
    iPhoto 9.5.1
    Thank you!

    The previous owner of that machine should have wiped it and install the original OS that shipped with the system leaving the system at the point where the new owner takes over and enters all there own information.
    Before you go much further with this machine you should seriously consider backing up any new stuff you have done and wiping it and starting from scratch. If you keep the system like it is you  will be plagued with problems. Even doing OS updates will prove frustrating.
    Right now the best you can do is to move the Aperture that is on the system into the trash, log into the App Store using your ID and buying Aperture. That should work but to be honest I have never had to do it so can;t say for sure.
    You might want to look at this What to do before selling or giving away your Mac from Apple to read what they recommend.
    good luck
    regards

  • How can I uninstall the numerous Firefox applications and then download the latest version. I inadvertently installed Firefox applications . Can you please help?

    How can I uninstall Firefox and then download the latest version. I inadvertently downloaded too many and they won't download correctly. I have a Macmini Leopard.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Not sure ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.3 Safari/531.9

    Hi, Barbara! Is the problem that you have a lot of different versions of Firefox on your launch bar? Or that you have a lot of different versions in a directory somewhere?
    Either way, on the mac, you should be able to simply:
    1. Close all versions of Firefox
    2. Drag the applications to the trash folder, which will remove them from the folder or your dock
    3. Download Firefox with Safari at getfirefox.com
    4. Open the downloaded file by double clicking it
    5. Once that happens you will have a Firefox icon and a folder with an "A" on it
    6. Drag the Firefox icon onto the A, which will install it into your Applications folder
    7. Open your Applications folder and drag it onto your main dock
    8. You should be able to launch it from your dock by clicking on the Firefox icon.
    Thanks!

  • How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.
    To uninstall Adobe Creative Suite in Mac OS 1 -- Double-click Activity Monitor.app in Applications/Utilities, select AHCRemind, and click Quit Process.
    2 -- If you intend to install the product on a different computer, transfer the activation. (See “To transfer the product activation” on page 1.)
    3 -- If you want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4 -- If you want to uninstall Version Cue 2, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe VersionCue CS2, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: If the Version Cue uninstaller fails, see the alternative procecure, “To remove Version Cue manually” on page 4.
    5 -- From the Applications folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: Note: After you drag the items to the trash in steps 5-8, you must empty the trash before you can reinstall
    Adobe Creative Suite 2 on the same computer. • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional • Adobe VersionCue CS2 • Adobe Bridge
    • Adobe GoLive CS2 • Adobe Illustrator CS2 • Adobe InDesign CS2 • Adobe Photoshop CS2 • AdobeHelpCenter.app
    6 -- From the Utilities folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Adobe Utilities • Adobe Updater.app
    7 -- From the Library folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Application Support/Adobe/AdobeHelpData • Application Support/Adobe/Assistance • Application Support/Adobe/StartupScripts/Workflow Automation Scripts
    • Preferences/Adobe/Workflow • Preferences/com.adobe.ActivationUtility.plist • Preferences/com.adobe.GoLive.plist • Preferences/Adobe Save For Web GL 8.0 Prefs
    8 -- From the Users/[user name] folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Library/Preferences Panes/Opera Preferences
    • Library/Caches/Opera Cache
    • Documents/AdobeStockPhotos
    To remove Version Cue manually (Mac OS only, not recommended)
    If you’ve accidentally removed parts of the Version Cue installation manually or if the uninstaller fails, you have to remove the remaining installed Version Cue components manually.
    1 -- From the Library/PreferencePanes folder, drag the Version Cue CS2.prefPane folder to the trash. 2 -- From the Library/Preferences folder, drag the com.adobe.versioncueCS2.plist file to the trash. 3 -- From the Library/StartupItems folder, drag the AdobeVersionCueCS2 folder to the trash. 4 -- From the Applications folder, drag the Adobe Version Cue CS2 folder to the trash.
    5 -- From [user home]/Library/Preferences/Adobe, drag the Workflow folder to the trash. 6 -- (Optional) From the [user home]/Documents folder, drag the Version Cue folder to the trash.

  • How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?

    Hi,
    How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?
    I've got a new computer and I want to uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on the new system. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but a bunch of other applications have easy 'uninstall' functions right in the application toolbar. Why doesn't Quicktime?????
    Thanks.

    I've read that Q/T is not just a simple application but in reality, a major component of the OS. This is where it varies from other similar acting apps like WMV, AVI, FLV etc. To butress this statement, in a vague way, I remember seeing a graphic of the Mac OS when Apple was first pushing "X". QuickTime was in the same general area of depth in programming as UNIX.
    So, you might not want to delete all of QuickTime just the Reg Key which should/could/might put you back to the non Q/T Pro functionality and thence legal to install on another machine.
    Just be certain that the version on the new machine is the same as on the old machine or expect to buy a new $30 key.
    Cheers-
    Mark
