Java 6 uninstall and then install for MAC OS 10.5.8, how do I do it?

I am using RefWorks and Write-N-Cite at school and am having trouble with them.  Refworks cust service said there is a corrupt java file in my computer and that I need to uninstall Java 6 from macbook OS 10.5.8 and reinstall.  How do I do this?  Does this sound right?

If you need the Jave 6 JRE and plug-in, MadMAC0 has posted at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20107182?ac_cid=tw123456#20107182
Apple has also posted (Oct 22/12) the approved solution for restoring the Java 6 plug-in:

  • I recently tried to uninstall and then install Office 2004

    I recently tried to uninstall and then install Office 2004. All of my email is gone. Folders, messages, contacts. By uninstalling did I permanently delete it? Is there a back-up hiding on my computer?

    since Office is not an Apple product, you may find it better to post your question over on Microsoft's own Office For Mac product forums, as they would be more focused to your issue and a solution may already have been posted:

    Are you (currently) getting an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • I cannot open itunes due to an error 126. I have never backed up my music and do not want to lose anything if I uninstall and then install again. How can I be sure my music is safe?

    I cannot open itunes due to an error126. I have never backed up my music library and am worried I will lose it all if I uninstall and then install itunes. Any suggestions??

    Back it up. While uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn't normally affect the library, other things, such as drive failures, can.

  • How do I uninstall and then install PSE 9 w/o losing one license?

    I'm still unable to open the PSE 9 Organizer. Message: "Elements 9 Organizer has stopped working." My only alternative is to uninstall PSE 9 and re-install and hopefully that will solve the problem. But how do I do that and not "lose" one of the 2 licenses that comes with PSE 9?

    OK, I uninstalled PSE 9 and reinstalled. I'm still unable to open the Organizer. I still receive the message: "Elements 9 Organizer has stopped working."
    My next question is probably going to be: How do I send PSE/PPE 9 back and receive a refund. This is just crazy and very frustrating.

    Please do not post the same question twice (in the wrong forum).
    I am moving your topic to the Flash Player forum, but you still need to provide some basic information; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195540

  • Firefox shows a message to install missing plugin, and then asks for manual installation of apple quicktime, How do i install this plug in?

    I have manually installed Quicktime. I have verified the installation by successfully playing a movie at http://trailers.apple.com/. Still, http://www.merriam-webster.com/audio.php?file=test0001&word=test&text=\%CB%88test\ shows an error message:
    A plugin is needed to display this content.
    Install plugin...
    Clicking the button shows that Quicktime is required!!!
    I recently restored my Windows Registry, so maybe Firefox or Quicktime are getting confused. Nobody should rely on the Registry being correct!
    I am stuck, like so many others.

    Your System Details List shows the QuickTime plugin as installed.
    You may have to check the QuickTime to make sure that you have enabled this file type for QuickTime.

  • I had to uninstall and re-install Firefox to fix a problem. How do I get my bookmarks back?

    I recently uninstalled Firefox after my MASTER PASSWORD would not accept my chosen password and there was no way to reset it, change it, or stop it from popping up at every site login. I then re-installed it hoping to fix a problem, but all my saved bookmarks, pages, pins, tabs were all gone.
    How do I get them back? Especially my bookmarks?

    I'm sorry to say it, but if you can't login to sync, your bookmarks is lost.

  • Firewire does not function after uninstalling macfuse and an out of date version of NTFS32 and then installed latest version of Tuxera NTFS for Mac.

    I purchased a 3TB HDD (WD USB 3.0 $100) to replace the 2TB Seagate for a new Time Machine HDD. The 2B was full and backups were deleting older files. The 3TB was formatted NTFS and I want to "recover" the included SW before I reformatted the HDD for the iMac. I discovered that MacFuse was out of date and unsupported and my NTFS-32 was also out of date so I uninstalled both and then installed the most recent version of Tuxera NTFS for Mac. I rebooted and discovered that the FW800 port was unresponsive. Below is the EtreCheck report:

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • TS5376 Does uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes affect the number of authorized computers listed for my account? When I reinstall, is iTunes considering my computer a new authorized device even though it was installed before??

    Hello,
    When trying to install the recent iTunes update, I got the Error Message "Program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."  Apple's recommended solution involves the step of uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes on my laptop.  I'm concerned that when I reinstall, iTunes will think it's a new device and use up one of the 5 device authorizations the iTunes accounts allow.  Do I need to do anything in particular to prevent that?  If yes, what should I do?
    Thank you.
    Katya

    Actually, I'd use the following user tip rather than the Apple document as a guide. (At the time I'm writing this reply, the user tip is much better organised, more accurate and way more up to date that the Apple document.)
    Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
    In the normal course of events, and uninstall/reinstall doesn't affect your number of authorisations on a computer. Usually, it requires a serious hardware change (like a new hard drive or motherboard), or a BIOS update, or an upgrade to a different Windows operating system to confuse your iTunes and make it think that it is now installed on a different computer before you end up using extra authorisations for the same operating system for the same computer. (So if you ever have to do things like major hardware changes, or BIOS updates on the computer, deauthorise the PC first, and then reauthorise after the change has been carried out.)

  • When I open iWeb it does not "Highlight" the New site or new page options. It ahs had this issue for over a year! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it. What do I do? It opens the tutorial video, then when you close it, nothing else is clickable.

    Open iPhoto, select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option.  That has jump started iWeb for others.  I could take a couple of tries.
    If that doesn't work try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
