Java applications won't work

On my iMac, Java applications won't work. I tried opening minecraft, and several other Java applications. All of them have a message that pops up saying, "Not compatible version of Java 1.5+ is available." I tried updating it but their is no update for Java it says on my updater. Running 10.6.8

I tried openning it but it said it couldn't open because it requires java to run it.
I don't understand that becuase 10.6.8 should already have Java installed. It optional in 10.7.x. It will be interesting to see if the java update even works under these conditions.

Java Plugin won't work in Netscape 7.1

I'm using Windows XP Home with Netscape 7.1, and the Java plugin won't work.
Java Plug-in 1.4.2_05 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) is listed 7 times in Help>About:Plugins;
The Java Plugin works in Internet Explorer (I use the Test Java Virtual Machine to determine this). With Netscape, I just get the "Click here to get the plugin" window, and believe me, I've clicked here many times, and gone through the installation process, and it still doesn't work. I've uninstalled Java, rebooted, and installed it with the browsers closed, and it still doesn't work. Everything else in Netscape seems to be working properly.
Under Edit>Preferences>Advanced in Netscape I have "Enable Java" checked.
I posted this problem in the Windows-BBS Netscape and Mozilla forum, http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=33994, and tried everything suggested there, but it still didn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

I was facing a similar problem. I think the problem is with different versions of JRE. For example, I was trying to associate with Netscape the JRE version of 1.4.2_01 without any success. But on associating jdk version 1.4.2_05, it started working fine.

Java application won't start anymore

Hi,
I am using a Java Application (Protege) that was running just fine last week but today it just won’t start!
When click-on it jumps about 3 time in the dock and stop. I was able to run the connected .jar file but most of the features are not available this way.
I have not done anything special since last week beside Safari update (1.3.2.).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you update Quicktime to 7.0.4? See if the following discussion seems relevant. There's a solution in the fourth message (reverting to Quicktime 7.0.1).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1500443
If that's the fix, the problem may be due to Protege using an outdated JavaApplicationLauncher. See

Java plugin won't work in Chrome

Java won't work in Chrome. I have OSX 10.7 on my Macbook Pro, and when I try to update Java, a popup alert is served that the update is only going to work for OSX 10.6. It would be really, really helpful to be able to use Java in my browsers. Any insight as to how I can get it to do that?

Do you have Java enabled in Safari:

Java Update won't work and runtime error

I have 2 problems.
1. First, I am running Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7. I also use Firefox 2.0.0.11.
I have Java SE Runtime Environment 6, but when I try to download Update 3, this is the message I receive on both IE and Firefox:
*"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it,*
*Or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."*
2. Second, this is my problem when I try to play Text Twist on Yahoo Games: On IE, I get a message stating that the Runtime has requested that the program terminate it in an unusual way. Then IE closes.
On Firefox, the game simply never loads.
When I first got my computer with Windows Vista, I was able to play this game. I don't know what's changed to cause this error to happen.
If any one can help me, I will appreciate it very much.
Thank you,
Joy

I found the solution for my problems in the forum for java errors. It worked. Thank you.

I had this problem with JRE 1_5_0_09 - after beating it to death, I finally got it.
Note that JRE did NOT appear in my add/remove programs list - also it did not appear when I ran the windows install clean-up utility msicuu2.exe.
However, when I browsed to
Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Sun\Java
I found a folder named jre1.5.0_09 containing the MSI file which installed JRE perfectly.
I am not sure if everyone with this problem will have the JRE file there, but I imagine that if it's NOT there, placing it there from another system and then running it might also work.
good luck.

Applications won't work after archive and reinstall

My wife has an iBook G3. After automatic update she got the red circle with a slash in it. She rebooted to the install disk and chose to archive and reinstall. After doing this and restarting, several applications will not work. For sure itunes, safari, iphoto and perhaps other she has not tried. The message she gets is: "The application cannot be launched because the system is incompatible." Suggestions? Thank you. Steve

To A Brody, thanks for the link to the backup info page..that was very helpful.
I'm having a panic with two volumes with 10.3.9 and 10.4.3 getting corrupted and impossible to repair or reinstall...and getting errors that "may be bad blocks...bad media.." and am backing up all the photos and music to a usb ext HD.
I'm only able to start up with os9 and am careful...perhaps not enough, I don't know, to not do anything to the osx files I can see from the other parition with os 9.
So far I've just dragged the files I want to the ext HD. I think I will do it again with a disc image as well, on the same ext HD, and burn dvd's later.So far, testing the backup with another mac in osx, I'm able to see the pictures with Preview, and import the music and play it...but yikes, no backup is like running with scissors. Two different friends are also backup less and they both use their macs for business! I hope to get them fixed up as well.
I'm going to post a new question about the phrase: "Mac OS X can't be installed on an ATA/IDE drive that is configured as a "slave", although it can see and work with such drives.": from one of the best books on OS X. Is this true?

My apple mail application won't work on my macbook, iPad, or iPhone.

About a week ago, my apple mail (aol and google accounts) stopped pulling. They won't work on any of my apple products. It keeps saying unknown error. It will add my contacts for google and calendar, but nothing for AOL.
I have erased my computer and reinstalled the new operating system thinking maybe something was missing (component wise) but it still won't work. I don't know what to do. Please help.

This is what I am seeing on my screen. It won't let me even add a google or AOL account. It keeps saying there is a connection error.

Applications won't work anymore with 10.6.3 update

Hi!
I installed via Software Update 10.6.3. And some strange things are happening. At every 5 min the computer freezes, colored wheel, and it stays about 2 min. Then everything goes right again and in 5 minutes another annoyng colored whell.
Firefox and other third party applications won't launch. The icon in dock bounces but the application doesn't start.
Any suggestions to fix that?

Gustavo,
Since you used Software Update for 10.6.3, try downloading and installing the Mac OS X v10.6.3 Update (Combo).

Application won't work on 64-bit OS

My associate and I recently got hired to replace the IT department at a business with an infrastructure that was sort of piecemealed together over the last 40 years. We have a new and more efficient infrastructure in development, but, in the meantime,
we have an issue that needs to be addressed to keep operations running smoothly in the early stages of implementing our system.
Our predecessors initially created our database using MySQL and eventually tried to awkwardly convert everything to SQL Server. They weren't very successful and we currently run both databases in tandem and our employees interface the databases with
a program written in Cobalt. We are entirely rewriting the database in SQL Server and building the interface application in .NET. However, we still need to function on a day-to-day basis until everything is rebuilt and this is where our dilemma
begins.
The existing Cobalt interface only functions effectively on 32 bit operating systems, and one of the first stages of our new system is to upgrade the workstations to Windows 8.1 (eventually 10), which only come in the 64-bit flavor. We currently use
XP mode in MS Virtual to utilize the interface, and theoretically, we can continue to do so with VMWare, but I'd like to get away from virtualizing and run the Cobalt interface on 64 bit machines until we can implement our new .NET application. Does
anyone have any suggestions on how we could accomplish this?

Yes, it is Cobol. Sorry, my mistake. The workstations access the program from a server share, so the compatibility mode isn't an option (the options in the compatibility tab are grayed out). I have attempted the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter,
going through all of the combinations that were available with no luck.
Yes, the applications do work correctly on 32 bit operating systems, but do not have full functionality on 64 bit operating systems. I apologize if my phrasing was a little vague. When the user opens the application by clicking on the icon, both
systems open a window similar to:
(note that this is not the exact interface, it is a close representation). The application is primarily used for data entry and retrieval. The options are listed and the user enters in a numerical entry that corresponds to a menu option. When used
on a 32 bit OS, the application will execute the desired request. When used on a 64 bit OS, an
Invalid Entry message appears. In other words, when the program is used on a 64 bit operating system, it won't recognize entered commands.
I hope that this clarifies the issue, and any assistance would be appreciated.

Java 7 won't work with Firefox 16.0.1 on OS X 10.7.5.

Java 7 works with Safari, but Firefox won't recognise Java is there at all. I've tried reinstalling Java 7 but no success.

32 Bit Java Just Won't Work

I need to install both 32 bit and 64 bit java on my computer to run a variety of different applications. 64 bit installed perfectly, but 32 bit just won't. I get the message:
ERROR: Could not create java virtual machine.
ERROR: A fatal exception occurred. The program will exit.
What do I do to fix it?

I'm having the same problem. I'm on a 1st Gen (June 2006) MacBook. I'm completely up to date on Software Update, but I can't get Java applets to display in any browser. I've checked Java Preferences, and I know that Java is installed on my computer. What gives?

Application won't work as JAR file

Hello all,
I am new to java and just wrote my first java program today. I finally got it compiled and working. I have no problems running the application from the command line when the application is not JARred up. When I JAR is up, the application will launch, but the one function it is supposed to excute doesn't work anymore. I created the JAR file with a main class definition in the manifest file.
The error the console is spitting out when the action executes is this:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: lotus/domino/NotesException
Now, this appears to be not finding one of my imported classes, but I have my classpath set to include the package. It works fine when the app is not a JAR, but when it is I get the above error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
_george

Executable jar files do not use the classpath, at least they don't use the CLASSPATH environment variable. (I assume that's what you are referring to when you say "I have my classpath set...".) Instead, they use the classpath defined in their manifest files. You have main-class defined there, you have to define classpath there too. Here's a link to an explanation:
