Java 2013-003 Update causing issues

I own several Mac's; one Macbook and two iMacs, each with different versions of OS X and after installing the 2013-003 update I'm having major issues with Java. In fact since Apple decided they didn't want Java running on their OS's and in their browsers, I've had numerous problems.
Today I was forced to install the 2013-003 update and when I try to run a website I use which requires Java, all I'm seeing is this message:
Use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java for your Mac.
Clearly I've updated to the latest version and I've even tried installing the most up to date version of Java from Oracle's website yet I'm still having the same issue. I love my Apple computers but I'm getting really sick of the constant Java issues.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.

Would like to know the answer to this too.

Problems on install Java 2013-004 update on Lion 10.7.5

I'm trying to install the Java 2013-004 update on a 2008 Macbook with Lion 10.7.5.
I've tried several times from 'Software Update' and downloading the .DMG from Apple.
It always stops at the very end of 'Installing items', lasting less than one minutes. But it can stay in that situation for hours and never completes the installation. And since them I'm having problems with software like 'jdownloader' that uses Java.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Hello megapauer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

ITunes 11.4 update cause issue with AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext

Along with many others iMac users, the iTunes 11.4 update cause a window that informs that the system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used.

Am on Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the update to ITUNES yesterday - Itunes itself installed okay - but I did get the same system extension cannot be used.
I don't have any ethernet devices - so I checked the System/Library folder and the date on the file Is July 13, 2009.
My IPOD (probably now classic because of age) synced okay through USB port, and everything is working fine. As the update was to allow more devices to sync with ITUNES it may be the error message is not correct one.
Seriously - Apple needs to get out of Silicon valley - the message if correct is for techies - not for users who just want the software to update without problems. Lately Apple is preaching to their own choir.
I did send feedback through Itunes to Apple - -- If you are experiencing crashes after this update make sure you send the crash report to apple explaining that it is happening after this install -- also call or schedule a call with apple support --

Update caused issues

If this Kill-switch feature (another lovely thing brought to us by the flakes and nuts of california) is what's causing all this lag and trouble in my phone, where is the Opt-out panel as defined by the statute?
Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

Yes...starting in the 10.3.1 rollouts, there have been many many folks reporting issues when using the automated "update" processes. Reloading the OS (via the "official" methods) has often cured their issues. Sometimes more is required, but that's the first step in trying to resolve issues caused by something potentially going wrong in the automatic update process.
Good luck and let us know!
PS... the poor OP on this thread, our discussion has gone far off track from that. I am going to ask the mods to split our discussion away from the OP.

Purpose of new Java 2013-002 update?

Hi,
I'm really confused now, first Apple says we dont provide Java anymore and refered to Oracle. So now i'm sitting with Java 7 update 17 here and i get
OSX update for Java version 6!
I dont want to mess up the system with an old Java now so i'm wondering
1) can i just ignore this update and if so how can i make it dissapread from my update list? Its annoying to have always one update there
2) why does Apple send out an update when they have decided not to support Java in OSX? I mean if they now want to support why not send the latest update instead of an old one? this just dont make any sense to me but please explain if i'm totally wrong here.
Regards /Reza

hmm actually now the update makes sense, i found a link to the update
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5675
This release updates the Apple-provided system Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_43 and is for OS X versions 10.7 or later.
This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.
This update also removes the Java Preferences application, which is no longer required to configure applet settings.
So basically Apple is removing the Java they forced me to install
This is good i guess since now i can have one Java VM, i hate to mix things.

10.9.1 Update causing issue logging in

After I applied the update, the first time I logged in to each of the 10 accounts I have I am asked to log into iCloud again (which I skip). Sometimes, instead of seeing that prompt the screen has a gray and a black bar. If I hit Cmd-Q, the iCloud prompt appears (must be a graphics mode issue or something), but the beach ball is spinning and it never stops, force a hard reboot.
Once, I logged in to each of the 10 accounts, I won't get prompted again, but it was a pain...I had to reboot 4 times.
Apple needs to test more.

The update is not being installed.
Download 10.9.1 from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1707?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Then, restart your Mac and hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting up to start up in safe mode, and finally, install OS X 10.9.1 by running the installer you downloaded

Update causes issue with bluetooth

I just upgraded my S4 with the "update_SCH-I545_MI1_to_MJ7" patch and now bluetooth audio will not work properly. I have several bluetooth headphones and speakers and the issue affects all of them. I can connect and play one song if I start the song from the S4 and not through bluetooth controls. However after one song it stops working. I have to disconnect and reconnect to play a second song and then it breaks after that.
Obviously there is some bugs in this latest upgrade. Is this a known issue and if so when is a fix anticipated?

schreib1620, let's get rid of these bugs. Have you downloaded 3rd party applications to your device? Some application software can affect the performance of your device soon after a software update. I recommend that you uninstall any unwanted applcation, power your device off/on to soft reset it, and test the bluetooth feature again. Keep us posted.

Software update causing issues with text message

I updated to 10.2.1.3014 last night and since then my text messages are not showing up in my text message folder on the hub. They'll show up if I select Hub but not when I select Text Messages. Is there anyway I can fix this!?

Make sure your settings didn't get messed up. Go to your Hub and click the three dots in the lower right then follow Settings>Hub Management>Text Messages and make sure "Show in Both" is selected.
I hope that helps you.

Time Machine Disk borked after 2013-003 security update

I installed the 2013-003 update on the weekend, and conincidentally my Time Machine disk is now locked. I haven't installed anything else really, so this Security Update is the only change I've made in recent memory, which makes me think that it is the cause, or at least the exacerbating factor.
Background: I have a 27" iMac 3.4GHz / 16 GB (iMac 12,2) with running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. I have an external RAID array consisting of 2x 3 TB Seagate Barracudas in a Nexstar MX two-bay enclosure, with the enclosure hardware controlling the RAID. This has worked more or less flawlessly since last fall -- that is until this update. No raid errors from the enclosure -- as far as it knows the disks are in fine health.
After restarting following the update, I get a message that the OS has locked the Time Machine disk (my aforementioned RAID array) -- so I can read data from it, but I can no longer write -- I can no longer make backups. It mounted the disk, and suggested I use disk first aid to fix it, so I do.
Open Disk First aid, and set it to Verify. I get some strange errors. Don't take my word for it, here's the log:

So since this, I can rarely mount the disk. When I can, I cannot unlock it to back up to -- although if it's awful as it suggests, I don't think I want to.
But, it all seems a little strange to me. This is RAID, I shouldn't have these problems, no? I mean, the disks are fine -- although if there was an error on the primary, enough time has passed that's been copied to the secondary by now, so I can't swap them.
Has anyone else had an external disk go T/U after this update? Is there some fix I'm missing? I have a new external disk on order (with Thundebolt) so if I have to rebuild my back ups, it won't take as long as this guy over USB, but I don't want to forgo the versions of the files I have no going back some 2 years.
Any insight? Is my backup borked, making me start over new and lose my back up history? Is there anyway I can recover this disk, outside of Disk First Aid / sending it to a data recovery place? Even do you think if I rolled back this update (if that's even a thing) would it set me back on track?
Thanks!

HT1222 Weird security update Java for OS X 2013-003

Why is the security update Java for OS X 2013-003 causing my 15" rMBP to start displaying a flashing window asking me if I want to allow the application "java" to accept incoming network connections?
OS X 10.8.3

It appears that these errors are arising because:
Oracle Java has been installed on your system,
there is some add-on code that is running, and that is using Oracle Java components,
the add-on code is attempting to initiate network connections,
and the Oracle Java connections are failing.
Basically, there is Oracle Java code running here somewhere — code which is not part of OS X, as OS X 10.7 and later do not include Oracle Java by default — and this (unknown) code is using Oracle Java and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and the code is encountering some new "defensive' measures. Or is encountering an Oracle Java bug, which would be an Oracle issue with their Oracle Java product.
Y'all have to figure out what code is running here (and that is dependent on Oracle Java and the JVM), and if the code is expected and necessary here, to then work with the vendor to resolve the behavior here and/or upgrade to the provider's current version of the software.
Based on the DDService64d reference, there appears to be Drobo software here, and some Drobo software apparently requires Java and the JVM. Here is some information from Drobo. (There's a recommendation there to disable Gatekeeper, and — while that likely does resolve the issues referenced — I'd prefer to avoid disabling Gatekeeper in general.)
Again, figure out what's installed and using Java here. Remove it, upgrade it, or check with the vendor.
Oracle Java does have a recent history of various serious security issues, and it's common practice to disable the Oracle Java web-start plug-in, or to entirely avoid installing Oracle Java on OS X on 10.7 and later. If you're not using and don't need Oracle Java, then don't install it. If you've previously installed Oracle Java and don't need it (as is the case on OS X 10.7 and later), reportedly Oracle has a tool which can remove Oracle Java.
note: Oracle Java is completely different from JavaScript.

I fix it. I restored the contents of /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines with the contents found in my latest TimeMachine backup from before the update, PMS works like again. Something in the latest Java update does break the PS3 mediaserver.
