Java is not working in safari

Since the last update of safari I have been experiencing problems with websites that use Java. Many say "missing plugin" and the one that I ant to use badly -
http://support.ford.com/tools/account/update-center?step=download
to download the latest Sync software for my truck doesn't work at all.
I have tried:
trashing (renaming, really)
com.apple.safari.plist
com.apple.java.javapreferences.plist
com.apple.java.pluginsettings.plist
with no results.
I even tried installing Java 7 v25 from the java site with no luck.
Any suggestions?

I have found since my above post that Apple has removed support for the Java Plugin2 in the Java Update 10 for OS X 10.5, so it won't come back.
See:
* [/questions/844734]
The only way to get Java running with Firefox is use a parallel installation of a Firefox version that supports the Java Embedding Plugin and start that version for sites that require Java.<br />
I don't know if the latest release of Firefox 3.6.x on Mac still has the embedding Java plugin.
See this article about how to install multiple versions on Mac OS X:

Flash is totally unrelated to Java, so what you're saying is that certain plugins are not working under Safari of which one just happens to be Java. You're the second one I see make mention of that, but the fact remains that you'd need to ask Apple what is going on with their browser.

Java 7 update 17 not working in safari

I am just setting up a new laptop, and installed the latest java 7 update 17. It works fine on Firefox, but will not work in Safari. Before you tell me "dont use java", I have to. My works website uses java for download, so I must have it (until we move to Aspera).
I have checked both the system Java version (latest, and enabled) and the browsers settings. Java is enabled in all places it should be, yet I cannot get it to work in Safari. The Java website even tells me it cant even verify if Im running java or not. This is very annoying.
So to recap:
Safari: Enable Plugins, Enable Java and Enable Javascript is turned on.
Block Pop Ups is turned off.
Java 7 Update 17 has been installed on this computer.
Java:
System Tells me Im running the recommended version.
Security: Is set to HIGH, I even turned it lower at one point.
Ive repaired permissions, rebooted, etc. but no luck.
Any ideas?

I work for a financial institution that uses Java for the online banking system. It works amazing as we have almost a 0% fraud rate. I don't hate Java like the rest of the world...anyway...on to my question lol
I have heard quite a few of our customers say that they are having a "Blocked Plug-In" today rather than the normal "Missing Plug-In" message. Has Apple blocked Java again or is it some wierd setting? This is the message our customers were receiving when Apple blocked it last time. However, our customers couldn't use Firefox either and this time they can. I haven't seen any news reporting it yet. It's imperative for our customers...I wish Apple would just leave it alone. If I purchase a $2500 computer, leave it alone and let me control it. Don't babysit me. This is why I will never ever ever buy a Mac. Not a fan of communism.

Java 7 not working on new (4/2/13) OS 10.8 machine

I downloaded Java 7 and the app is not working.
Checked it on Java site and it is not functioning.
Validated Java is enabled in browser
Cleared Cache...
Not sure what else to do.
Was going to uninstall and re-install with security off, but am not sure how to uninstall. My first Mac....
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem running Java with OSX 10.8.3. Even after performing the latest software update (including Safari 6.0.4) in addition to download and installation of the latest version of Java (version 7 update 21), Java did not work. And the “Java icon” was absent from the “system preferences” menu (should be at the bottom under the tab “other”). Very strange! But I found a solution: 1.) Go to “Library > Internet Plug-Ins”; 2.) Move all JavaAppletPlugins to trash (I moved “JavaAppletPlugin (1.7.10.18).plugin” and “JavaAppletPlugin.plugin”); 3.) Download and run the latest Java update; 4.) re-launch Safari.
That solved my problem and I can run Java applications in Safari. Again......

Java is not working any more

The last 6 months Java has not worked at all. I have Java 1.4.2 and 5.0 installed. I have tried re-installation, emptying buffers, resettings safari, using other browsers, created new user account in OSX and so on. I have tried all the tricks in the book and I have talked with other people that have the same problem without being able to find a solution.
My theory is that everything went wrong with the last java update, and I'm wondering whether Apple will release another update also including Java 1.6. I have waited quite long now, hoping for a update, but it doesn't seem to happen. Does anybody have some ideas on what I can do to get Java working again.

HI punsk and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Since you're having so much trouble with Java, you might consider backing up your files and doing a complete erase and reinstall. Not an Archive and Install, ERASE and start over. Once you do that, go to Software Updates available from the Apple menu; Apple/Software Updates and start from scratch.
If you do this, after this is finished, run Disk Utility from your Applications/Utilities folder and Repair Disk Permissions.
Also, on your iBook. Make sure you have available drive space for updates. Open Disk Utility, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, then look down right side of window and you'll see:
Capacity and Available. Make sure your Available drive space is at least 20% of the total drive.

Java 7 not working on OSX 10.8.3

I need some help with Java 7.
I am trying to open my photo lab software, however, it keeps giving me a message saying I need to download the Java Runtime Environment. I clicked on the link and it brought me to the Java site. I sucessfully download the software but it still doesn't work even though Java test show's it's working.
I'm running OS X 10.8.3.
I downloaded the softwared using Firfox don't know if that makes a difference.
I've checked my Java setting and they all seem to be enabled. At this point I have not idea whats going on. I didn't have this problem before and can't figure out what to do.

Java install not working ??

I was instructed post install of Yosemite to update my Java Runtime Environment. Now almost daily I am gatting the same notice box that I need to reinstall Java again. I am unsure if Java is evening working in Safari right now as some sites appear to not be working when I have to enter information in boxes to acess an answer via data entered.

It may mean that you need to install the "Apple" version of Java.
(I need to preface this by saying apple has "muddied the water" with regard to java support.)
In previous version of OS X, the Java runtime was installed in /System/Library/Java.
I don't know specifically what is triggering your dialog box but if I were you I'd install the "Apple" version of Java at the following
Java for OS X 2014-001
I think this will take care of the annoying popup.
On my MBP (late 2011) I have the following

Why do aria-live="assertive" not working in safari 6?

I have a .Net Web Application where the requirement is to notify the user whenever there is an automatic change on the Page. For that I have used <div> tag with role="alert" and aria-live="assertive" attributes. The Feature is not working with safari 6. An already available discussion says the feature should work with Safari 6. Please refer link https://discussions.apple.com/message/19537778#19537778
But it seems that the Fix is still not available with safari 6.
Please suggest if something is missing in the implemenation or some alternate way or workaround available.

Hey everyone,
Did some more research, thanks to user dominic23, I found the answer.
Quit and relaunch and Safari.
Go to Safari Preferences > Security > Internet Plug-ins
Make sure that the box next to ' Allow all other plug-ins' it is cheked.
Also make sure that 'Allow Java' is checked as well.
Happy browsing!

SharePoint not working on safari 8.0.3

SharePoint not working on safari 8.0.3. get an error to say server request timed out. this works on chrome

Hi,
Any one that was having this issue will be happy to know that what you read on google is incorrect apple didnt block java at all they blocked the older versions to make people continue using the new versions
please install java 7 update 17 then go to the below link
http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
it will say " inactive plugin" to begin with but if you click the text it will then work close safari and test the link again
it should then come up and say "your java is working and up to date"

Java won't work on safari

I believe it is java thats not working. I use a website called mathzone.com and when i go on there to do my work safari wont pull up the interface for me to see the questions or to put in the ansers. If I use another browser like firefox it works fine... I just prefer safari. does anyone know how to help me.

Click here > http://mpss.mhhe.com/products-mathzone.php
Then click: Check your browser for plugins
The site requires Shockwave, Flash, QuickTime, and Real Player.
And make sure Java is enabled in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Much better off using Firefox for this particular site. Safari has incompatibility issues with RealPlayer.

You tube and flash not working in safari

Is anyone finding that you tube and embedded flash video is not working using safari 6? the video window in youtube is blank, I don't even see the control buttons, flash videos embedded on other sites are similarly blank. Quick check with Firefox shows all these films play normally.

Not sure if this is relateted but as I am having the same problem, I am only having the issue on the account that has Parental Controls enabled. The admin account can open youtube just fine. The Java plug in boxes are checked, I am running in 32 bit mode. I've tried every fix I have come accross to no avail.
On a side note, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, the Mac App Store is also sketchy. The account with Parental Controls can't log in, when I click "sign in" nothing happens. No 3rd party apps such as APE or FruitMenu installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Java does not work at all upon using the update manager to update to firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 9.0.4

OS: Ubuntu 9.0.4
Browser: Firefox 3.6.10
upon updating to firefox 3.6.10, java does not work at all.
websites that use java do not work at all anymore, when they worked just fine before the updating thru update manager. e.g. hulu website cannot play any of the shows.
i can give the folder of bookmarked pages i tried.
how to do that on here, i've yet to see if possible.
i can even give saved text from the terminal concerning certain attempts.
when i updated thru update manager, it gave some weird java plugin that wasn't there before "The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin IcedTea6 Java Web Browser Plugin (execution of applets on webpages)".
i uninstalled this as instructed by an answer found in one of the pages i saved, cuz it was conflicting w/another java program the updater said i needed. right now, i don't remember for sure what it was. it perhaps was realplayer flash or Java itself. w/all the hours/days of searching i put in, it's difficult if not downright impossible for me to remember all the specifics of what i tried.
i've searched throughout many webpages (including many searches on mozilla, ubuntu, java, etc) for instruction in fixing the problem.
oh, and incidentally, on the Java site, when i try the verify test of Java, firefox pops up with that yellow bar right below the slew of tabbed website windows, giving the statement "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. (w/link to) install missing plugins ." which is what i do, go thru the requesting plugin installation. it comes up with, guess what, the IcedTea Java Plugin. i click on the 'next' in the "Plugin Finder Service" box that pops up, & all it gives me is "No plugins were installed. IcedTea ...Plugin failed. and the link 'find out more about plugins or manually find missing plugins'". the link takes me to some of the very things/plugins that wouldn't install in the first place. the Java test failure is a LOL funny, as what plugin it is saying is required (IcedTea) is a recommended alternate program to display the very test in the first place.
i followed the given instructions on those many searched pages, in every case (barring what i may have just plain missed), but to no avail.
i've even gone to the point of trying to reinstall the previous 3.5.13 firefox version, from mozilla site. even that wouldn't install.
i've tried installing Java for my sys direct from it's site. nada.
now it's time for me to post the problem & perhaps someone will come up with some kind of "dummy" way to fix it.
until then many sites a regularly use are totally useless to me on this fast puter.
the only way i can get to use such sites, are two choices: 1. use a dinosaur laptop, which is slower than molasses & cannot handle to any streaming stuff, or 2. use an available internet access puter at the library. but useage for ea person per day is limited to only one hour a day. and one can end up waiting for an hour or more ( in the busiest periods) to even get to use one.
so, is there anyone at all, who knows any for-sure working fix for this problem?
thanks muchly :^D
p.s. i can't pay anybody any money for such help, as is required in certain sites (e.g. Java website), cuz i don't have any.
i can pay in labor tho, if there is someway to find someone who can physically be at this puter w/me, taking me step-by-step
sorry for the 20-pg essay. i hope it was all clearly understood. if, not, well, clear communication is always what is needed, ask away.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?
http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/update/current/install/version .xml10.1.53.64~os=Mac&osVer=10.6.4&playerType=pl&cpuWordLength=32&cpuArchitectur e=i386&lang=en

NYT videos not working in Safari 5

NYT videos not working in Safari 5

Work fine for me - they are just normal Flash videos.
Make sure your Flash Player is up to date.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
