Java 8 not compatible with yosemite...is there a security hole?

I installed Java8 per Oracles instructions and it is active in my Safari preferences. However, the app pop up still appears, even when I do not have Safari or any other browsers open or running. In fact, even if I reboot the computer and do not have any apps running, within a few minutes of loging in, the pop-up appears. So what is Yosemite looking for? Is there something else running Java in the background that could be a security hole?

Hi there BallybailShannon,
You may want to try updating Java using the installer below.

    I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

  • My Canon 70D Camera software says it's not compatible with Yosemite- what is the solution?

    Just wondering if there is a fix for my canon 70 software incompatibility with Yosemite 10.10. 
    Message alert says cannot be used with this version of the operating system, and as a photographer, I may need a quick solution to this quickly. HELP!

    Well the Apple Tech was wrong, the card slot did not work either, it got 80% uploaded and said to check the silverlight version.  I guess it's a step backwards on the OS system for me until Canon gets the driver updated for Yosemite

  • AE CC 12.00 not compatible with Yosemite? Is there a patch that works? Can anyone clarify?

    Having trouble getting my version of AE CC (12.00) to work now I have upgraded to Yosemite. I've read that this version isn't compatible and after speaking with Apple they say it's adobes responsibility to release a patch. I've found a few but nothing works for me. Anyone having the same problem? Any fixes?

    Since you specifically said you were running 12.0, naturally we are going to suggest updating.
    If you're running 12.0, you're not running the latest updates at all.
    12.2.1 is the latest version of 12
    13.1.1 is the actual latest version of AE.

    Where? Adobe says that 11, 12, and 13 are all compatible so long as you're on the latest update.
    What sort of issues are you having? We'll need some more specifics to help.

  • I have a class where I need to use SmartDraw but it is not compatible with Mac probook what are some other software programs I can use to make floorplans and building plans?

    I am suppose to download SmartDraw to my computer for a class but it is not compatible with Probook is there another program that does the same as SmartDraw?  I am planning a building addition and need it for the floor plans.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There are lots of choices. Just go to the App Store and type in Cad Drawing in the search field. Also Sketchup from Google is a cloud based solution hat works pretty well.

  • Is Lightroom 4 compatible with Yosemite?

    I really want to install Yosemite, but I depend on Lightroom 4 for work.  Has anyone installed Yosemite and is Lightroom 4 running fine?  I can't install Yosemite unless Lightroom 4 works perfectly.
    Thanks.

    Please be careful
    I am an Adobe user CS5 and LR4
    I upgraded this evening and now have no CS5!!
    An Adobe agent has just told me that LR4 is NOT compatible with Yosemite!
    The same agent felt it would be a good idea for me to pay Adobe $400 to upgrade to CS6 and then I could use LR4 and PS!!!!!!!!
    I am disgusted

  • Is the Nike  Running app not compatible with ios7?

    I downloaded the Nike+ Running app - but I can't get it to open?
    Anyone else having a similar issue?  Is the app not compatible with ios7?

    Go back to the itunes store and look at the user ratings/comments for that app.  If it's not compatible with IOS 7, there will be many postings from users that indicate that.

  • IPhoto not compatible with OSX Yosemite

    I have a MacBook Pro  (17 inch, early 2011) with a 2GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
    A few weeks ago I downloaded the Yosemite operating system (10.10.3). Since then, my iPhoto application will not open. I can't save pictures to my computer from my phone and I can't edit pictures I've imported. When I try to open iPhoto, it says: "In order to open "iPhoto", you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac Apple Store."
    I search the app store for iPhoto and no updates are available. The message displayed is: " The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store."
    Anyone know what to do to solve this? I really need to be able to edit photos. Thanks for helping!

    You need iPhoto 9.6.1 for use with 10.10.3.  Try the method Terence Posted in this topic to get it from the App Store:

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Otherwise you can drag your iPhoto Library onto the Photos app icon in the Dock to covert it to a Photos library.

  • Firefox 4 is apparently not compatibile with MacOS 10.5.8 PPC since after downloading and trying to open a pop-up says it is not compatible with my system. This version is probably for MacOS 10.5 Intel users. Unless there's another reason?

    When Firefox 4 was proposed, I immediately checked the system requirements for Mac user:
    "MacOS 5
    MacOS 6"
    So I downloaded it, since my OS is 10.5.8 (PPC), I thought I was fine. When downloaded, the Firefox icon showed a Stop sign in the middle: maybe a new logo? But when trying to open it, a window popped up saying this version was not compatible with my system. Therefore, using Time Machine, I reverted back to Firefox 3.6.16.
    If this is the case, you should absolutely warn '''PPC''' users not to download Firefox 4. Your version is probably for '''Intel''' versions.
    Unless you come up with a fix, I won't be able to use Firefox 4 until I change computers, having updated my system to the last possible upgrade.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
    Thanks for your help.
