Java applets that worked fine under 10.6 don't work under 10.7. What can I do to correct this?

Java applets that worked just fine are no longer working after upgrading to MacOS X 10.7 (Lion). Here is one example:
So far, I've found two Java Applets that have become inoperative under 10.7. Here's one example: http://www.vimas.com/videoLarge.php
I did download and install the Java VM for Lion and I did "activate" the applet when prompted to do so. However, the example cited above fails to load.
A second example is JFileUpload which enables a drag & drop UI with which to upload files. Worked great under 10.6 but under 10.7 dropping a file on the UI only causes the web browser to display the file, not upload it.

@etresoft: "You have old cache files left over from you Snow Leopard Java installation. Just run the Jave Preferences application and delete your cache files."
I did that right off but this is not the issue and that tactic didn't work. Apple has acknowledged the issue and the workaround (extract the applet from the web page) seems to suggest that Safari is at fault. Safari 5.2 was just released today but, unfortunately, doesn't correct this issue.
In the case of the applet that I use most often (JFileUpload), it also has a File menu so I use that instead. Nonetheless, I sure do miss drag & drop. As more and more of our Mac users upgrade to Lion and bump into this issue, we expect our support effort to be challenged with an increasing number of irate users. It doesn't help to be able to say "It's Apple's Fault" but that's all we can say.

Hi rdfnra,
Please check the Page Display preferences (File > Preferences/Acrobat > Preferences) and make sure that Show Large Images is selected. If sounds as though this PDF may have been created from a scanned document, and this preference is disabled.
Please let us know how it goes.

I have connected my macbook pro to my tv via MDP to HDMI port cable, all that is showing up is the basic desktop image without any icons, what do i do to correct this

i have connected my macbook pro to my tv via MDP to HDMI port cable, all that is showing up is the basic desktop image without any icons, what do i do to correct this

Your MBP is running in "extended desktop" mode, where the two screens together make one larger area to display windows. You can drag one or more windows from the primary (internal) screen to the secondary (TV) screen. By default, the secondary screen is off to the right of the primary screen.
If you would prefer the two screens show the same image, you want to switch to "mirroring" mode. You will have to pick a single resolution for both screens, which may look poor on one or the other.
Both the relative positions of the two screens in extended desktop mode and the switch to mirroring mode can be set in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.

Java7 and Java6 will not work opening pogo games on firefox, but works perfectly for IE, what can I do to fix this issue?

Java will not work on the computer all of a sudden. Now when I go to open a Pogo game room up i get a Mozilla red lego piece in the corner saying "Some plug ins have been De-activated for your safety, in the box will be "Java (TM) platform SE 6 U". I have removed Java7 and reloaded it, after that not working found Java6 and loaded and reloaded it and it is not working.
Now after 3 minutes of the room not loading Pogo will give me the error message of
Java Not Found or Not Working
Explanation:
This error means Java (one of the technologies built into most browsers) is not working correctly on your browser.
You must have Java installed on your computer in order to run Pogo games, and it must be functioning properly. Either you don't have Java installed yet, or the Web browser you're currently using doesn't support Java or you have Java (or Javascript) disabled in your browser.
How to Fix the Problem:
Java is a free download that is required to play Pogo games. Not all computers come with Java pre-installed.
If you haven't played Pogo games before and are getting this error, you probably just need to install Java on your computer.
For instructions on installing Java for your operating system and browser click here.
If you believe Java might be installed but disabled for your browser, please be sure to enable the plugin for your browser. If you need help, click here.
If you already have Java installed and it is not disabled, your Java may be out-of-date or no longer working. In that case, your Java might need to be upgraded or reinstalled. If you need help, click here.
I have done the click here in last sentence and all it wants me to do is download Java7 which was the first reason it was not working.
Hopefully I have explained this well enough, from Mozilla this is what I get BUT if I go to Internet Explorer (which I HATE) the Java6 and Java7 work perfectly fine. So apparently the Java is downloaded correctly I just can not get it to play nicely with Mozilla and that is my main goal.
EA games help page has gone through it all with me and have proven over and over (after 1 hour sessions, 45 waits for them) Java is working on my computer perfectly with IE just not on Firefox and with the rural situation I have become dependent on Mozilla because of the no fiber optics here it has been my best and only source of successfully using the internet here in the far out part of the country.

Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. The drive works fine when I burn a CD using Media Player.

What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. I have reinstalled several times but it hasn't changed this error message. Why am I able to burn a CD using Media Player but not iTunes? I am using Windows XP and I have burned cds from iTunes in the past.

I have Windows XP Pro and I downloaded the Extension Download Statusbar 0.9.8 . I have no problems downloading anything............but when the download is finished, the window that it downloaded in disappears! What can I do to correct this? Thanks.

I use XP Pro on my desktop pc, and Win7 Pro on my laptop. No problems with laptop.

I questioned that 64 bit version thing and when I checked the download it sent me to the java version 32 bit for windows 7. The download of jre 32 bit works for my computer on internet explorer but not for firefox 17. I also checked firefox and there is not a 64 bit version browser. so I don't get this at all. anyway, I don't know what a 64 bit vs a 32 bit means but someone asked me to check that too on the site I went to they thought it might be different browser. It's not.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Good Morning Barbara,
I do apologise to members of this forum for my display of bad temper, it was generated by a series of problems with my system and this one from Adobe just took the biscuit and I thought I had finally reached Adobe. My fingers are poised over the phone this morning awaiting the start of the working day.
One thing that I cannot explain is that this series of trial programs, not clear in the updater, from Adobe is that it seems to have damaged my copy of Elements 10. I cannot put text onto pictures. I have tried uninstalling and reinstaling Elements 10 to no avail. Anyway we will see what they say.
Regards
Pat

Firefox is slow to open and close. I get a "script error" that says it may be caused by a recently opened tab. What do I do to correct this problem. It is wreaking havoc when trying to open/close or move around the internet.

I am getting a "script error" when I close out the internet, specifically Firefox. My backup internet explorer does not do this. This is slowing down the process of opening/closing Firefox. When I open Mozilla, I get "restore session" even though I have closed everything down. I have "removed program" and re-downloaded Mozilla 3 times and still this problem persists. What is causing it and how do I fix it?

-> Update All your Firefox Plugins

* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''

I updated StumbleUpon which offered a tool bar. Since then I get no URL line, including everything else normally on that line. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled and still get the same. What can I do to correct this without doing a system restore

I recently updated the add-on StumbleUpon which offered a tool bar. Since then I do not get the line which has the URL space as well as other functions. I am now forced to use IE. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled but get the same startup page. What else can I do short of using system restore to a prior date?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I last updated add-ons.

I produce church bulletins and the format that I use shows everything is in black except my front and inside cover. When I make copies I am charged for all color. What can I do to correct this?

Our church just leased a copier and we are charged by the page, either color or black ink. My bulletin has color on the cover and inside cover but all the text on the inside pages are in black. When I make the copies the copier
charges me for all color pages. It is getting expensive. Any suggestions?

Window > Output > Separations Preview and then you need to select Separations from the dropdown at the top of the panel.
Click the eyeball next to the Black plate to turn it off. If there is no color on the page it should go blank. If it doesn't, you've found the problem.

A helloworld java applet that will work on an html file

I have spent a lot of time trying to get a java applet to work on a web page. Of course, I can download zip packages and they will work. But I can?t seem to find a formula for creating something simple that will work.
All the examples that I have found will either work on Windows when running it on the command line, or work in Netbeans, but none of them will work when I put time into an html file on a linux web server.
Can someone post, maybe the simplest code that will output ?Hello world? on a Linux Apache Web server.
I have the gist for creating and programming java? as least a basic start. But I?m anxious to see an example that I can compile that will actually display on an html file and not just my Windows programming environment.
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this.

The lines of text you provided were very enlightening. I was able to do a lot of dissecting and experimenting and have the full gist of my question answered. I don?t have any problems outputting either text on the console or text on browsers.
