Java broken under Mavericks

I'm on a Mac with OS X Mavericks and Java 7u45. after installing Mavericks you must install JAVA from JAVA.com and the most recent Apple JAVA update (Java For OSX 2013-05), which I did.)
In Java Control Panel > Security, the Security Level "slider" is grayed-out (can't change it, it's set at 'High') and the 'Enable Java content in browser' check-box will not retain a check-mark. So I can't change either of these two settings. This happens as a 'Standard User' with Authentication or logged-in as an 'Administrator'.
I've uninstalled JAVA, reinstalled JAVA, repaired permissions, restarted, etc.
Any suggestions?

I have a solution that has worked on 2 macs-an iMac and a macbook pro-both that were upgraded to mavericks. I got the help of a very smart person. his diagnosis was that there was interaction between Java 6 and 7 that was not a problem with 10.8.5 but having both is a problem with mavericks. my guess is that you previously installed Java 7 on top of Java 6, which was true for me.
so, we eliminated all java files we could find, uninstalled Java 7, rebooted, flushed caches and reinstalled Java 7.
here are the specific steps:
-- /library/preferencepanes there is a file called "JavaControlPanel.prefPane" move that to trash
--/library/ move the Java folder to the trash
--/library/ move the Oracle folder to the trash
--uninstall JRE 7.45
you can do this by finding "JavaAppletPlugin.plugin" and moving it to the trash. that file is in /library/internet plug-ins. described here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml
--restarted and booted in safe mode (hold down the shift key during restart)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
--once safe boot was finished I logged back in and installed JRE-7u45
at that point the Java control panel was back to working normally. You can adjust the security slider and the "enable Java content in the browser" will be checked.
I do not know whether all these steps are required. I do know that this procedure has restored Java 7 functionality to my machines.
hopefully Oracle will release a revised Java 7 that removes the offending files as part of its installation.
if you follow these steps, let me know the outcome.
good luck!

Intel Fortran compiler broken under Mavericks

After upgrading to OS 9 on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro, and installing Xcode 5.0.1 on both, my Intel Fortran compiler (vs 12.0.5) no longer works. I have updated the command line tools. When I try compiling a source file it fails with the message:
ifort: error #10001: could not find directory in which g++ resides
There is a compiler option to specify the location of g++ "-gxx-name=" but this doesn't help - same error message. I'm not sure if I need to set a system variable or if I need to go back to an earlier version of Xcode. Has anyone managed to get their Intel Fortran compiler working under Mavericks?

I haven't found this topic in the other Categories, so I'll reply here:
I'm having the same problem!!! Leopard has crashed ifort 32 bits! So I can't run my programs on my macbook core duo (32 bits), although it's ok with the ifort 64 bits version. But I really REALLY need the 32 version working on Leopard. Anyone has any clue about how to solve it? I've tried some 9.1 ifort's versions and the new 10.1 version. You can find evaluation versions on the intel's site.
Please someone help us.
Thanks,

Java broken on Mavericks

Followed the various bits of advice - latest Java installed.
Java is not working - period - in any browser.
Yet another update that has broken what was working.
Absolutely stuck.
Any suggestions, anyone, please?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi thanks for that - yep, I realise Mavericks is sans java. I had installed the java as recommended on these forums.
Actually, I had tried installing the latest incarnation from the java site.
Restarting the machine and checking gave me:
Verified Java Version
Congratulations!
You have the recommended Java installed (Version 7 Update 45).
This is before your kind response.
And, after trying to get java too work for a good few days - it now does.
Thanks, anyway.

Adobe Reader forms broken under Mavericks

Aftr installing Mavericks on Mac, you can fill in Adobe Reader forms as before, but when you try to e-mail them only the blank form is put in the e-mail. Anyone have a solution? Any idea if this also happens with Acrobat?

is the problem specific to Reader 11 ? not experienced on reader 10 ?
you could compare the settings of a working Reader 10.x with Reader 11.x where it throws the exception.
Also ensure that while creating form in designer > File > Form properties> Default PDF render format is set as: Dynamic XML Form.

Open file alarms severely broken under Mavericks

Hi.
So when I updated my systems to Mavericks, all of the alarms/alerts that open file to run an automator or Applescript applet had to be reset.
Even resetting was tedious, as each of the applets first had to be run from the finder. Then reset to the event(s) in Calendar..... but onle 2 can be set, then quit Calendar, then go back into calendar and set the next two......
Until Mavericks, I have depended on Canlendar to run everything.Calendar, invoking applets is like the best thing since sliced bread for our uses! On some days I have > 20 event alerts set.
The problem is that even after the tedious process of resetting all the alerts, once set, any adjustment to one will cause it to run at that instant. For example, I just went in to change a timer that was set to stop a particular event in another (scriptable) application at a particular time. I chose to just delete the timer because I knew that changing it would cause it to run right then. So I deleted it. Just deleting the alert caused it to run. right then.
Note to Apple: PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM WITH CALENDAR AND AUTOMATOR / APPLESCRIPT applets!!!!
Note to anybody else who has been likewise devastatingly affected, IS THERE ANOTHER 3rd party app available that will do what we have been dependent on Calendar to do?
This is awful. What a disaster.

Wow, ahahah.
Found the bug source. A big OSX security flaw in my opinion. As the file was on the desktop, the path was Users/Me/Desktop/... However, I had a network connection to my pc, and the link was to my user account, Users/me/... So OSX was not trying to open its own /Users/ path but my PC folder... Somebody could fool the system, by creating a volume called /Users/... with some fake duplicate files, and someone could try to open something on his drive, but in fact it would load the evil Users volume.
I don't understand how this could be possible. I never understood how bad the OSX network volumes system was that bad, but never tought it would be so crappy.

AutoFS/automountd broken in Mavericks?

Priot to upgradignto Mavericks (I was on Mountain Lion) I had AutoFS setup to mount two AFP volumes under /Volumes. Post upgrade this no longer works and in fact I cannot get any aspect of AutoFS/automountd to work. Is this just me or is this completely broken in Mavericks?

How do you have AutoFS set up, exactly? Have you specified auto mounts in directory utility under Mounts, or did you edit /etc/auto_master? Either way, it would appear that Mavericks no longer allows you to specify auto mounts that mount underneath /Volumes. Here is a relevant discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23537689
Two solutions.
1. Specify a local mount point that consists of any path not underneath /Volumes. Example: /nas.
2. Mount the volume through the finder, and once it shows up on your desktop, open up System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Self -> Login Items, and drag and drop the resulting mounted volume icon in there. It will re-mount on login.

Contacts Applescript dictionary broken in Mavericks?

So this script works fine in Mountain Lion, but is broken in Mavericks. Apperntly, Applescript no longer knows the class "person" anymore, even though it's still listed in the Contacts dictionary.
tell application "Contacts"
                    repeat with theName in every person
                              set theName2 to the name of theName as string
display dialog theName2
          end repeat
end tell
When I open this script under Mavericks, the person class has been replaced by «class azf4»
When I try to replace that with "person" again and compile, I get "Expected class name but found identifier".
Running 10.9.2. Anyone else see this?????

This question came up in this thread. The solution is to rebuild the launch services database. Run the following command in terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.fram ework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
then quit and relaunch the Finder.

Mac Book Air 13 (october 2013) under Maverick /Flash Player 11 not active after installation

I live in France and installed Flash Player 11 (last update) on my brand new Book Air. Several times. Installation apparently succeeds, but it seems that nothing is effectively installed (I checked on the Adobe help site which confirms that). Indeed, I have nothing active and cant't hear audios, read graphics.... on web sites. I have messages saying " module manquant" (missing plug).
I have checked Safari which correctly admits java and other plugs (security).
Would my Book air be too weak for Flash Player (I have Intel 1,3 Mgz Core I5 processor). Would an older version of Player then help under Maverick ?
Thank you !

Java running under linux with crontab

I'm having a problem:
i want to run a java program under linux with crontab.
my classes are in a directory and aren't in a package. i run em by invoking ./start which is a small script that i wrote. The script is in the same dir as the classes and invokes java by "java Main >>logjava.txt " but this doesn't seem to work all i get is an empty logfile
i need to run the program every day at 0800 so i inserted the following in crontab:
0 8 * 1-5 /var/"path"/start > logjava (where path is the path to the classes dir)
if i run the cmdline from anywhere on the prompt i get the result i want. I think it's because the cron runs it from the root dir thus making java unable to find the classes
Any suggestions would be welcome. or can some1 tell me how to make linux executables from the java (i usually use jsmooth for the windows exe)

You can execute several commands in the process started by cron. You separate them using semicolons.
Have you tried a cron entry like this:
0 8 * 1-5 cd /var/"path";pwd;echo $PATH; ./start > logjavaOr, you may need to make sure the process started by cron gets the same environment as your interactive shells do, by explicitly loading your setup or .login scripts:
0 8 * 1-5 . $HOME/.setup;cd /var/"path";pwd;echo $PATH; ./start > logjava

How to remove duplicate POP messages in Mail under Mavericks

Hello
I'm having some significant problems with Apple Mail, and despite having researched widely, I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Here is my tale of woe...
My set up is that I use Mail with 5 separate accounts, downloading all messages using POP. I keep ALL my mail (even the trash) so that I have a permanent record of all conversations, going back more than 10 years - this is about 250,000 emails in around 250 subfolders. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks on a 2010 MBP. I have no intention of moving to IMAP - I need to keep a local archive of all my mail.
A few months ago I was having problems with Mail being very slow to load and search emails. I decided to rebuild the mailboxes, but afterwards discovered that thousands of messages in the inbox of one of my accounts (and some of the sub-folders) had disappeared. Once I realised I tried to go back to a recent Time Machine back up, but, for whatever reason, that part of the back up hadn't worked properly and I was unable to recover the previous status. I left it while I decided what to do, and had time to deal with it...
The last 2 years worth of emails on that account were still archived on gmail, so last week I decided to try redownloading the whole lot (something like 72,000 messages), and then planned to use one of the scripts I was aware of to remove the duplicates to the trash, and then remove any duplicates in the trash forever. That ought to mean I at least had an archive of the last two years of missing messages, even if I had no record of which ones had been flagged or replied to, etc.
The downloading took about 24 hours to complete, and I now have almost 70,000 messages in the inbox of that account. I also rebuilt all the folders again, which doesn't seem to have resulted in any further loss of messages as far as I can tell. However, I hadn't figured on two things:
1. Mail 'hides' duplicate messages, meaning that all of the messages I've downloaded are showing as unread, and I can't differentiate the ones I already had in my Inbox, and the new downloads. When I click on those apparently unread messages I can see if they have been replied to or forwarded, etc, but there's no obvious way for me to remove the ones I have already dealt with to the trash, without going through them all manually, which is clearly impossible.
2. The scripts I'd found for removing duplicates don't work. Andreas Amann's Remove Duplicates script doesn't work under Mavericks, and he has abandoned the project. I've also tried the remove-duplicate-messages.scpt made by Jolly Roger (http://jollyroger.kicks-***.org/software/), and while it *sometimes* works on individual subfolders on my Mac (but as far as I can tell removes the duplicate in that folder, rather than the newly downloaded version), mostly it doesn't work at all - it creates a 'Remove Duplicate Messages' folder on my desktop, a log inside it and a folder for removed messages, but nothing appears in the duplicates folder.
So, I'm left in a position where I have 70,000 apparently unread messages in my Inbox, a massively bloated Mail library (which has pretty much doubled in size, because of the 'hidden' messages), a slow and unresponsive Mail program. I've come to the conclusion that there must be some corrupted email somewhere, which probably caused the original email haemorrhage, and may still be causing the inability to remove duplicates. Mail is so slow as to be almost unuseable.
I figure I have a number of options:
1. I could live with the situation and just archive most of the Mail in my inbox, with the side effect that there will be a bunch of messages I have never replied to that are missed.
2. I could abandon the last week's efforts and revert to the version of Mail I was using a week ago, and then redownload the recent emails from my various accounts. That would still leave me without those thousands of emails I lost on my local machine.
3. I could find another way to deal with this. Can I get the remove duplicates script working? Should I revert to the version of Mail from a week ago, download ALL the messages again, but do it in a way that allows me to find the duplicates and remove them? Should I move to another email program altogether (which would presumably be massively disruptive to my work!)
Anyway, apologies for the essay length of this request, and thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer!

hi Eric
thanks for the tip, but I don't think that solves my problem, which is that Mail apparently hides the duplicates, so they're still there, you just can't differentiate or remove them. I actually *need* the duplicates there so I know I've got everything, but then I need to be able to move the ones I know I've dealt with from my inbox to an archive/trash, and/or remove them completely so Mail isn't totally bloated

When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors. But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported. Is this a bug in Mavericks?

When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors. But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported.
This happens not just with the SSD in my Mac Mini, but with another SSD in my MacBook (both now running Mavericks). So far as I know, all of the kit I am using is in good order (despite the file corruption reports). So I am beginning to wonder if it could be due to a bug in Mavericks? Both SSD drives have been formatted to MacOS Extended (journaled) format. Should I have used a different format, I wonder?
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Does anyone have a solution?
Or an explanation that might help my investigation of the issue?
Thanks guys,

I understand that the Corsair Force 3 is not one of the SSD drives that are supported on Apple Macs.
I did try downloading and using Trim Enabler, but the error message came up both when it was off and when it was on.
I understand that not everyone thinks Trim Enabler is a good program, though there is a new version out now, so I may give it another try.

How do you print comments in pages under mavericks?

How do you print comments in pages under mavericks? Earlier if show comments was checked, all the comments were visible and could be easily printed. Now only those comments are visible on which the cursor is pointed but even those do not get printed!

Thanks to all for to the 'older Pages' suggestion. I don't have the last Pages on my mac anymore (although this is probably just me being really, really dumb), but the suggestion inspired me to try another very similar work around - which was also successful. Just in case anyone's in the same situation as me, am sharing it here!
For absurd reasons I won't bother to explain, I've also got a version of Word for Mac. I prefer writing on Pages, though, so all my documents (and their comments...) are Pages files. In the really unlikely event that you've also ended up with both Pages and Word (I know...) just export to a .docx file, open it with Word, and print from there. It retains all comments, track chages, etc. This seems really obvious, but I hadn't thought of it...
This can also be a work around for the lack of 'Compare Documents' and/or 'Merge Documents'.
Of course this would all be much better if it were actually just in Pages...I hope this helps, and thanks!

PDF copy to clipboard is broken in Mavericks 10.9.5

PDF copy is broken in Mavericks 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro 17 (mid 2009). I cannot screen capture to the clipboard (ctrl-shift-cmnd-4) or between applications when the copy format is PDF. I can, however, save as a pdf file during screen capture (shoft-cmnd-4). Other formats (pict, jpeg etc) work fine. Only pdf is broken. The error shows up as an empty clipboard and as Preview being unable to create a new file from the clipboard. Have reinstalled OSX 10.9.5 (combo update). Have created a new user and logged in as the new user (no menu bar extensions, etc) and the problem persists. Have booted up in safe mode and the problem persists.
Is this a combination of an old MacBook Pro (17 inch, mid 2009) and Mavericks or have others experienced this problem with different configurations?

Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken?

Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken? For example, try searching for SocketChannel and then clicking on any of the returned links, in particular click on www.oracle.com/technetwork/servers-storage/ts-4222-159193.pdf.
This is the second time I have tried to search for Java information and both times found broken links.
Does anyone know where I can find more information on using a SocketChannel?

They have a huge investment in it and would need to replace or discontinue a number of products that they paid quite a bit of money for.
On the other hand in might just be that they don't much about providing support that doesn't lead to revenue. Thus support contracts have a support channel while public links get little support.
