Java and runescape - I know this has been touched on before

Hey so I'm not very good with computers but I'll attempt to explain the situation.  I am on a Mac OS x 10.5.8 and the Javas I have available in my preferences are: Java SE 6 ; J2SE 5.0; J2SE 5.0; J2SE 1.4.2 in that order with only the SE 6 version checked.  I have done a variety of trouble shooting seen in my other thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/16865411#16865411
However, I have tried to redo some of these steps and for instance now I can't even get to the java test page because the browser just freezes and I have to force quit.  A few months ago I was able to use the www.runescape.com website perfectly fine and I don't remember making any changes that would affect this, but now when I go to load the game it says your version of Java is unavailable or old.  However, no new software update for Java is in my update search off the apple icon.  I don't think my problem is directly to the game developers with the website because more recently I was using a chemistry site for school that requires JAVA on an OWL school site and now any learning activities that use JAVA I can't do.. In September I had no problem with this site and then somewhere along the line in October November it stopped working.
So to summarize, I want to try and be able to play runescape but because this other site that uses Java was working and then also stopped working, giving the same message as old or unavailable, I think my problem is with JAVA not a specific site.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi Kdowns19,
I'm in the RuneScape Tech Support forum a lot. Other people with similar problems have posted there recently. I may be able to help you sort out the problems you're having with RuneScape. In your other thread I think Linc Davis was on the right track.
Apple stopped releasing updates for OS X 10.5.8 a while ago. Trying to play RuneScape through your web browser won't work anymore. Your Mac has 32 bit web browsers which will try to use 32 bit Java to start RuneScape. A few months ago Jagex changed the requirements for RuneScape. It was announced in the news section on their site that you now need at least Java 6 (also known as 1.6) Update 10. The 32 bit Java on your Mac is too old to run RuneScape.
There is hope. If your Mac has an Intel CPU and it is 64 bit capable then OS X 10.5.8 will have a version of 64 bit Java that is current enough for RuneScape. I read your other thread and saw that you do have 64 bit Java installed. You can play RuneScape if you download Jagex's Mac version of the RS client. The RS client will find your Mac's 64 bit version of Java and use it to run the game. You can get the Mac RS client by going to the RuneScape homepage, point your mouse at Game Info at the top to see the drop down menu, and then click on Downloads. On the next page click the download button that has an apple on it. It will download the RuneScape.dmg file. I've searched the web for a 64 bit web browser that will run in OS X 10.5.8 but I have not been able to find one.
After you start the game you may need to set the graphics options in RuneScape so that the game runs in OpenGL mode. Currently there is an issue with Software mode that causes your mouse clicks to be out of alignment with the position of your mouse pointer.
Also, you mentioned that the OWL school site is not longer working on your Mac. That is probably because you unchecked the other versions of Java in the Java Preferences menu. You disabled the 32 bit versions of Java on your Mac and now your 32 bit web browser can't find them when you go the OWL school site. If you go back to the Java Preferences menu and enable those other versions of Java then I'd expect that site to start working again.

  • Burning issues and yes i know this has been posted up before

    Ok , just like some indicated before that my itunes use to burned perfectly on maximum speed , so after a while i had a few problem in burning it would start burning then 10-20 sec it would say disk error or something like that and i would lose the recordable cd i inserted . So i went to 4x to see if maybe that would fix it but , the same dam thing happens and happens over and over making me lose recordable cd's again! without warning ! Can i some how fix this by cleaning maybe the lens with a cd lens cleaner or will that mess up my lense on my mac osx? How can i fix this problem ? thanks

    I would suggest first having a look at How do I clean my CD recorder? I would have to say that you should never have to clean a CD or DVD drive, and if you really really really can't resist, try using some canned air using extreme care.
    If you don't already have canned air, and don't have any other optical drive "snake oil" remedies, then I would say the likelihood of effecting a sound repair based on investment in such would not be in your favor.

  • "no un-bridged adapter" - and yes, I know this has been asked many times before :)

    OK, so I installed vmware workstation 10 on windows 8.1 update. I got the above error. "No problem" I thought, and followed the community and googled advice, I:
    1) uninstalled vmware
    2) disabled my antivirus (Kaspersky)
    3) ran the installer "As administrator" (I'm a member of the local administrators group, so hopefully anything else that doesn't require elevated permissions would be OK)
    Result: Virtual Network Editor does not show VMnet0, but I see it in C:\ProgramData\VMware\netmap.conf
    #This file is automatically generated.
    # Hand-editing this file is not recommended.
    network0.name = "HostOnly"
    network0.device = "vmnet1"
    network1.name = "NAT"
    network1.device = "vmnet8"
    network2.name = "VMNet0"
    network2.device = "vmnet0"
    Looking at the properties of my network adapter (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM) I see the vmware bridge protocol and the vmnetbridge service is running.
    So next I try the "restore defaults" in the network editor - no change. I try removing the protocol from the adapter and I get error 0x80070005 but if i click OK and go back into the properties, it's gone. I can't add it back, because I'm told it's marked for deletion. So I reboot, try to add it, and I get access denied, but again if I close the dialog, and go back, the service is now there.
    I'm just in a workgroup and i have not applied any Group Policies...
    Happy to try any suggestions...

    Uninstalling AntiVirus and or EndPoint Security software has been discussed a considerable number of times and has been discussed for many years and uninstalling any given AntiVirus and or EndPoint Security software is SOP when dealing with some issues with VMware Type 2 Hypervisors, especially when there are Network related issues.  At times both Avast and Kaspersky as well as others have been mention in these forums and at times in the product release notes too.

  • So, I know this has been asked before. But, has anyone heard from Apple?

    So, I know this has been asked before, but I'm just looking to see if anyone had heard from Apple on this at all. The minimum volume on my iPod Classic 160gb is too high, and I can't lower it. (AKA when I kill the volume, I can still hear music).
    I called them today, but the rep was pretty useless. He even dropped the "well, just press pause" line on me. Took him a while to understand that when I'm in bed or studying, etc. the minimum volume is too loud, and I wanted to be able to set it lower.
    The best workaround I've found so far is to buy headphones with their own volume control, but I just can't help but feel that someone shouldn't have to by additonal gear after buying this thing on account of such a basic feature exclusion.
    Anyways, thanks for any help !

    Wow, easy there company boy!
    I've heard all of what you spit up before.  And for your point of "Well, in several cases, people have complained (here in these discussion pages), that they expect the volume to be zero when turned to minimum position" that kind of ties in to why Apple should fix this.
    And yeah....it's pretty much a given that "you and I have different interpretations of what constitues too loud" This is where the option to adjust the minimum volume comes in to play.  (I relly feel bad for you. Honestly. Having to live everyday of your life this way must be just brutal)
    The wording would be pretty simple too. " Be aware there are many instances of the minimum volume being too loud, so think twice before dropping a few hundred bucks on this"
    And, you're right. It is horrible to 'whine' about being ripped off and asking if there is a possible fix for the issue. I really do apologize for that. I should just suck it up and not voice my opinion that this is not fair to consumers, and Apple shouldn't fix a known issue with a product.
    I did reset & restore, I figured that was pretty much implied since I said I spoke to Support.
    And I am not at all surprised that you would say "I - for one - am not surprised that Apple might say, "simply hit the pause button"."  Again, I don't want it on muteReading your post made my eye twitch at least three times.
    This is exactly the reason I was resitant to post on a forum. But, I got a good laugh anyways. Thanks guy!

  • Video on Mac to Storm...I know this has been covered!

    Sorry, I know this has been covered, but it has a ton of things I can not use....or understand.
    I am on a mac. I have some movie previews that are in a .mov format.  I had uderstood I need to convert them into .mp4 format....I did this in Quicktime....and exprteded them a few different ways....but every time I go to play them they break up and get all pixialated!
    I have a 16g card, and I am putting them in the Videos folder on the chip through usb reader.....what am I doing wrong?!
    Thanks

    It was magical. I did something to my router, I'm not sure what, and iChat now connects to Windows machines with audio/video. I think the problem is very specific to what type of router you have.

  • I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player.  What am I doing wrong?  Are there some simple things to check to figure this out?  (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times)

    I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player.  What am I doing wrong?  They play fine on computers but not on dvd players.  Are there some simple things to check to figure this out?  (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times).  Created in DVD studio pro.

    Hi
    Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
    • BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
    Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
    I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
    • Type of DVD - matters
    - DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
    - DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
    - DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
    I only use DVD-R
    • BURN SPEED - matters
    - Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
    I set this down to x2 or x4 max.
    Yours Bengt W

  • I know this has been asked before But I Deleted 6 mths worth of Bookmark folders, Cant use Undo,

    I know this has been asked before But I Deleted 10 mths worth of Bookmark folders, Cant use Undo & havent backed up (live & learn) Someone posted do a restore from "Import & Backup" My listing in Restore is only 2010-6-29 back to 2010-6-22. Is this the way to go to retrieve as much as possible or is there another solution?

    Those dates are when a backup was automatically made by Firefox, not dates when you saved specific bookmarks. Try restoring the backup from the day before you deleted all those bookmarks. It will restore the entire backup file - not just what you deleted, you will lose any bookmarks that you saved after the date of the file you restore.

  • I know this has been posted a few times but, High Pitch noises!!!!!!!!!

    I keep getting wierd high pitch noises from the MOBO, I have tried to push in the MSI plate on the NB but it didn't stop the noise. But what I have found out stops it is kind of wierd.
    If I go into any Windows Explorer window and right click on certain icons, (i.e. C: Hard Drive, the nVidia Ethernet Adapter, or my DVD-RW) the noise stops suddenly, but if I click off of the right click menu the noise starts back up again. I don't get it? Also if I use my mouse wheel and scrol up and down rapidly, the sound stops while I am scrolling, but once I stop it comes back.
    I know that this has been posted a few times, but I still haven't found any way to stop the noise other than the ways above. So if anyone has/had the same problem and knows how to fix it, I would really appreciate it if you would share.
    EDIT: I have also tried to return my CPU to stock speeds but there is still a noise.

    Im sure this noise, is the copper coils around the components near the cpu socket.. its a known problem on MSI boards, where they start to resernate / vibrate.
    I've seen two solutions, neither have i tried, as I don't have the problem, but they are pretty harmless.
    one is to apply a small amount of superglue over the copper coils, allow to set and switch back on,, or a safer way (in my opinion) is to use some wax (or electical sealing wax).

  • I know this has been answered but... X11 and Gimp

    I have read all the advice about reinstalling X11 from the Snow Leopard disk and then doing an Update from Apple.
    Recently my hard drive was replaced at the Apple Store and I have had to reinstall all my software but Open Source software like GIMP and INKSCAPE didn't work. SO I religiously read all the docs about this problem and religiously did the stuff above.
    Yes I have X11 reinstalled and updated but Gimp and Inkscape STILL do not work - they load but no fonts or anything else does and they just sit there doing nothing no access.
    Any ideas - I have taken them off and reinstalled. This has only happened since the new hard drive - everything else is fine but this is very frustrating and I can't work on graphics with these progs now.
    Please could some kind person advise another strategy I'm pulling my hair out this end?

  • I'd like to go back to a specific date in my messages? I know this has been asked billions of times.

    (Specifically April 30 of 2013) but I text a lot so pressing "load earlier messages" isn't an option. Is there anyway I could load the messages on my computer, or is there an app that I could use to search by date? I could get them off my iphone or ipad.

    Hi,
    The iPhone (iOS Device) and the Mac will only Sync from the day that both start using the same App ID or OS X 10.8.2 whichever is the earlier.
    The "Sync" as Apple calls it was different before this time.
    The "Sync" is only "Display on all Devices" and does not involve anything else (if you delete a message on one device it remains on the other)
    The iMessages are "pushed" at the devices that have the Apple ID or iPhone number and when the iMessages has been sent that is it.
    It will not re-sync if you remove the iMessage.
    I really don't use iMessages on my iPhone enough to even try "Load earlier Messages".
    If you have synced (Backup) the iPhone onto the Mac using iTunes it is apparently possible to extract the messages from the Backup.
    However I don't sync this way and  don't know the names of the apps involved.
