Installing older version of Java on OSX Lion

I am trying to install an older version of Java on OSX lion 10.7.3. The latest update conflicts with matlab, I want to revert to java version 1.6.0_37. I have downloaded the version I want but when I try to install it ( click on the *.pkg file) I get the message : A newer version of this package has already been installed
Any work arounds?

Give Shane Ross' blog entry a read:

It is on a different topic but see how he tricks the software into installing without removing an old version. You might could do the same if you follow those steps.

HT5045 Is there a way to install older versions of Java, like Java 6 Update 26 on Mac OS X 10.7 ?

We have an application that worked fine on Java 6 Update 26. Update 29 broke the application. Even though we have fixed the problem, for people using older versions of the application, there is no recourse, if they have upgraded their OS to 10.7. So, is there a way to install Java 6 Update 26 on Mac OS X 10.7 ?

Hello,
I have a client that just started working remotely and needs to do payroll via her Mac OS X 10.7.5 system via a web browser. The payroll system appears to be ADP/Kronos as far as I can tell. We first tried using Safari and it said the plugin was missing so we downloaded the latest Java and installed. When we tried to run it dumped the following error. (see below)
At this point we decided to try Firefox and rather than a dump we found the message Java 1.6.0_07 required.
At this point we went hunting for an older version of Java and did find one only to be told if was specifically for OS X 10.5.x. My client is running OS X 10.7.5.
I have other clients running Windows that have multiple (older) versions of Java installed including 4, 5 and 6 all on one machine so I'm not sure if this is possible on Mac OS X or not.
Note I am not in charge of the payroll system and have no way of updating that side of things. I may recommend that my client contact her internal Help Desk or revert to using a Windows based system as I know for sure that would be capable of handling these requirements.
Thanks, Jason

How to install old version of Java

Hello,
I need to install an old version of Java for a program we use. I know, they really need to update it but they aren't going to update it within the next few days so I'm trying to get this to work.
Is there any way to install Java 1.6_35 or lower? I'm having problems finding the download for it and getting it installed. I'm running 10.8.4.
Thanks,
Josh

Thanks for the yahoo link... although I think Google or even Bing is better.
I'm still looking to see if it's possible to install that version of java on OSX 10.8.4.
None of those links have the dmg file (at least the first 10) Good try.

TS3489 Can the older version of Java be restored to the Mac OS X 10.4.11? I have a new MacBook, but I like using my older desktop model for certain things.

Although I have a new MacBook, I also have an older desktop Mac OS X 10.4.11 (which I still use) that just recently "stated" the older Java plug-in has been removed and the newer version needs to be installed. The Mac OS X 10.4.11 doe not appear to be compatible with the updated version of Java. Prior to this week, my grandchildren have been able to play some online early childhood games with this computer and I have been able to watch the occasional YouTube video. Can the older version of Java be restored to the Mac OS X 10.4.11?

I'm not familiar enough with the Mac to know where your history is. Hopefully another Mac user can chime in.

Told I Need Older Version Of Java

Hi, I started having issues in a chat environment after recently installing Java which came with OpenOffice. I was told for my browser to work as before, I needed to get an older version of Java. Is it possible to have different versions, or do I need to uninstall the present (uplevel) one? Thanks.

Check a source such as Amazon or eBay, or try following these instructions.

Quick quesion about installing newer versions of Java

I've got Windows XP Home and I had a quick check in Add or Remove (in Control Panel) and realised that I've got: -
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5 and
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
I've read that Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0.7 is available.
I also heard that some older versions of Java may have security holes so should I install Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0.7 and if yes, should I delete the older versions that I've already got?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Generally the most current version (excluding an initial family release that introduces new features, like 1.5.0) is the most bug-free, since the changes incorporated are bug fixes only.
None of the versions 1.5.0_05, _06, or _07 have any known security problems.
Since Java versions are independent, unless you have a specific reason otherwise, only one version is required. Uninstall in reverse install order before installing a new version to minimize potential problems.

How do I get different and older versions of java plugin to work

I want to use firefox at my work, my company uses a program that uses java. But the programmers at my company aren't really good and when they check for the java plugin they check for the specific jre-6u21 instead of the generic with 6uXX. Sometimes I have to use another version of the program that requieres Version=1,4,2,06. They work fine with iexplorer.
If I update to the current version (update 24) Firefox can't find the plugin. Explorer just gives a warning that you might be missing important security updates.
Can Firefox give a warning or run with the latest version instead of looking for the missing plugins?

This is what Oracle has to say about the problem: [http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/other_jreversions.xml Download older versions of Java]
If you install an older version in Firefox it will be listed in Tools | Add-ons | Plugins and you can disable it there. But as Oracle mentions, using older versions potentially exposes your system to attack such as the one mentioned here: [http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Java-SE-6-Update-24-fixes-floating-point-bug-1190818.html Floating Point Bug]

Should I remove older versions of Java from Add/Remove Programs?

I have about 9 or 10 older versions of Java mostly version 5 updates 2-11installed in the Add/Remove programs section of Control Panel. Should I remove these or leave them installed before installing the next update 6.2?

Yea, you should definitely remove them via the add/remove tool.
Sometimes if you are developing for different versions you might
have more than one - but in most cases more than 1 or 2 is
unnecessary.

HT5242 Are the older versions of Java automatically uninstalled during an update?

Are older versions of Java automatically uninstalled during an update?

If you open the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app then the available Java Virtual Machines will be listed. I have a newer mac with 10.6.8 that has latest Java 6 version installed on it and an older macbook pro with the lastest Java 6 Virtual Machine version and the previous Java 6 Virtual Machine version .

What are you missing?
I inherited this app and signing the third party jars is how it was setup, I was wondering the same thing too, why was it necessary to sign the third party jars?
The applet runs in either JRE 1.6.0_13 or JRE 1.6.0_27 depending on the other Java apps the user uses. JRE 1.6.0_13 does not have the mixed code security (so it is like is disable), but JRE 1.6.0_27 does have the mixed code security and the applet will not launch with mixed code security enable, so we have to disable it. With all the hacking going on in the last two years, is important to improve security; so this is a must.
Yes, I always clear up the cache.
Any idea on how to resolve this problem?

HT5946 Is it possible to downgrade to an older version of Java?

Ever since I upgraded Java to version 1.6.0_65 (Update 17) it will not work. I am reluctant to upgrade my operating system (OS X 10.6.8) as everything else works fine. I have a not so new macbook pro (Intel core 2 duo) 2.53Ghz 32Bit (with 64 bit kernal). I can't find an older version of Java on the apple website (or anywhere else)
Thanks!

Ok. I have found that I can get this version of Java to work if I uncheck the box "Keep temporary files to ensure fast access" under Network in the Java Preferences. I don't really understand why but it works so I don't really care.

Middle Click suddenly stopped working. I have tried installing older versions , but that does not work. Please note I do not have any addons installed.

It just happened suddenly may be after updating to ff 7.
I have tried Safe Mode.
I have tried installing older version of FF.

Problem Installing older version of Adobe Flash Player Activixe (example vers.10 to 9)?

Hello everyone, I have the problem that I do not know how to install an older version of Flash ActiveX, since trying to install version 9, or even 10.0
.45, the error that comes out is not a recent version, and does not allow you to continue with the installation, prompting you to go to the site and download the latest one.
The Flash Player Plugin installed, but only with that will not start the program that I want to start ..
Before you install and uninstall the previous version of the ActiveX plugin, make sure there is no file flash.ocx (which are usually in C: windows/system32/macromed/flash), disconnect the computer from the Internet, all gate installation files of the most recent flash, everything from the pc, temporary reboot, install the older version but I always leave that mistake, I can not install older versions of Flash.
I have to install older versions of flash10 eun to start the program, but I can not continue. Someone can suggest how to install a previous version of flash blessed ..?
Thank you all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ... a little early.: (
See if you can figure out how do they install?
Giorg

Before installing an older FP version you must completely uninstall your current version.
download the unistaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
close all browser windows and run the downloaded uninstaller
restart Windows
delete any remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit)
install the old FP version
P.S. why do you want to install an old Flash Player?
