Java no longer working in 10.5.8

Hello: I am not very computer savvy but hopefully I can learn from you!
My computer is a 10.5.8 mac. I have safari 5.0.6. Until recently I have not had any problem susing safari. But a few days ago, I realized that it would not allow me to see Java sites. I get this message: attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed.
I have been trying to sort it out myself and verify that
Safari prefenrences has Java script and java enabled
In utilities: java preferences: there are several things clicked on.
I did download firefox and one point to see if that would work, but it didn´t.
An suggestions or do I need to find a shop?
Thank you!

Alas Java is barely able to run on 10.5.8 anymore, unless you run some patches from Apple: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261

Java no longer working properly since last firefox update

Since the latest firefox update, Java no longer works as it should on my banking website. The authorisation procedure uses Java, but the box freezes and does not finish loading. It still works fine on IE. I use Windows 7.

Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 with some Java applets not working and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release.

Help! Java no longer works with IE or Firefox

This all started when I downloaded JRE ...whatever the latest version is. Java was working fine in both browsers. Then I installed JRE so I could run some Java program (which works fine), but now, it doesn't work in the Internet browsers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still it doesn't work.
Help is appreciated! A lot of basic websites are useless without it. Thanks

Open the Windows Control Panel, there should be a Java entry. Open it and click the Java tab | Applet Runtime Settings | View, and verify that it shows the 1.5.0_01 JRE.
Then click the Advanced tab | "<APPLET> tag support"; Internet Explorer should be checked. If it's not, check it.
Open the IE Tools menu, there should be a Sun Java Console entry. If it's there, click it - it should open the Java Console, showing version 1.5.0_01.
At this point, IE should work. FF problems are a matter of FF settings, I can't help.
If after this IE isn't working, then Java is trashed, removal of Java and reinstall is probably needed. It may be necessary to manually clean the Registry. If there are multiple versions, remove them all. Reinstall 1.5.0_01 last.

Java no longer works

i am using "stable" archlinux (not using testing) and in past few days there has been a lot of upgrades in core,extra,community (xorg server, intel drivers, hal etc....) but today i've realized i can't run any java application anymore ...i am using jdk and jre 6u12-1.
echo $JAVA_HOME prints:
/opt/java
java -version prints:
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
But when i try to run some java application i get this error:

Safari 5.1 update Snow Leopard Java no longer works

I've been doing quite a bit of reading regarding how the Lion update changed the rules of how Java works (or doesnt work) for the new Safari 5.1 browser. I also had quite a time with existing plugins after my SN 10.6.8 was updated with the new safari 5.1. For example Lass Pass totally closed down my Safari 5.1 browser and kept it from even launching. I later found a post that suggested I remove the LPass plugins via uninstall
https://lastpass.com/lpsafari.dmg
and then a reinstall of the plugin. That seemed to work..
However, I am still totally unable to get access back to my company's remote network via citrix which is a java based web portal.
Can anyone advise regarding a solution in running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1 and getting java to work?
I have seen posts re lion solutions but not snow leopard.
Thanks all
Ken

After an update to Snow Leopard, JAVA no longer works.

I updated to Snow Leopard a few weeks ago. It has been frustrating, but I am trying to get all of my programs in sync with the new upgraded software.
One is JAVA, which I downloaded the update tonight, but it does not correct the issue(s) that I am having.
I have one site www.photoplusnet.com that I need to access, but can't because it takes an active running JAVA to access the site.
The other site, my University studies with Capella, I am unable to attach files, because that site uses JAVA to attach files.
Anyone know how I can correct this issue?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Deborah Grigsby
Florence, Oregon

Deborah,
It is quite possible that your Java is still set to 5 and not 6 in your /Utilities/Java Preferences. Open your Java Preferences and drag the Java SE 6 to the top of the list. Also you can open a terminal and type in java -version (no space between hyphen and word "version") to see what version of java your user id is running. Hope that helps.

Right clicking no longer works in Java?

Control clicking in Java no longer works on my new powerbook. Other applications seem to be fine.
How do I correct this? If uninstalling and reinstalling Java is the answer, how do I do this. I have poked around a bit but cannot find an answer to this.

Use the command key.

Mac Yosemite 10.10.2 -- System Pref. Java pane/ctrl-panel, Update-tab-function no-longer works, after updting to Java 8v40

Under the Mac Yosemite 10.10.2 O.S. -- the System Preferences: Java pane/ctrl-panel: Update-tab-function no-longer works, after updting to Java 8v40 JRE & SDK -- says that the internet connection is not valid !

A few questions....I assume your network is connected to the Internet? Do you use a proxy? If so, is it set in the browser or in the Java Control Panel?

After installing 10.9.2(Maverik), Java will no longer work. I went to the java site and downloaded. However, the new java won't work with maveric either. What do I do?

After installing Maverick 10.9.2, Java will no longer work. I went to Java Site to install latest Java, but Maverick won't recognize it.

Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_51

After updating to latest version of Java (7.10) it no longer works and JRE has disappeared from my plugins list

On checking my add-ons and plugins I attempted to update Java Run Time to latest version as firefox said it was outdated.
I tried installing new version JRE 7.10 manually and through firefox (which said the installation was successful). When testing it, I get told that Java is not working and that a plug in is missing. Can not check whether the new plugin is enabled as JRE has disappeared from the plugins tab (Only Deployment Toolkit appears).
The Java control console says that it was successfully installed in all browsesr. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java 3 times and keep getting the same result. Java is working fine on chrome and IE so problem must be with FF.

i have already tried installing the offline version but Java SE7U10 does not show in the add-ons menu and Java doesn't work

Java suddenly is no longer working on Firefox, even though it says it is enabled

Just today, I have noticed that Javascript, and anything related to Java will not run on Firefox. I've looked far and wide, uninstalled JavaFX, reinstalled Java 3 times, attempted everything, but no matter what, Java will not work and Firefox will report the Applet is running fine.
I'm running the latest version of Firefox, along with Java SE7 U17, which is the latest version of Java. Is there any way to fix this? Also, Java has also ceased to work on my computer itself, but it is most noticeable on Firefox where I can't use scrolldown menus, or view videos that require Javascript (It either prompts me with "Plugin/file not found" or it simply doesn't load). I can still view YouTube videos.

Disregard.
Problem solved itself after waiting a day, and reinstalling Java while restarting the computer inbetween uninstalling and reinstalling.

Facebook and Slacker no longer working with Firefox. Still work with Explorer. Until a week ago problem did not exist.

I am for about one week not able to input information on Facebook. Also the Facebook page appears in a huge font. Regarding Slacker I do not see any available online radio stations. Until about a week ago everything worked fine. At present I can work with Internet Explorer, but at present can no longer work with Firefox.

URLConnection.setRequestProperty no longer works in 1.6.0_22?

Anyone else having a problem? A program on one of our user's machines suddenly no longer works, and it looks like it's because their JRE has updated itself.
The program makes a request to a server using a digitally signed, serialized object thusly:
        SignedObject so = new SignedObject(request, codeKey, signer);
        HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        con.setRequestProperty("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "gzip");
        con.setRequestMethod("POST");
        con.setDoInput(true);
        con.setDoOutput(true);
        ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new GZIPOutputStream(con.getOutputStream()));
        out.writeObject(so);
        out.close();This interaction has been untouched for some years now. The Servlet handling the request does:
            InputStream is = request.getInputStream();
            String coding = request.getHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding");
            if (coding != null && coding.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("gzip")) {
                is = new GZIPInputStream(is);
                log.debug("Request will be de-zipped");
            ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(is);
            Object o = ois.readObject();
            ois.close();Suddenly the user was getting error 400 (invalid request) The server was throwing java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 1F8B0800
After a lot of head scratching I noticed he was using rev 22, so I installed it on my own machine and I get the error too. It appears that the Content-Transfer-Encoding header is simply not happening any more. The coding variable in the server is now null. Debugging the sending code calling setRequestProperty no longer adds an entry to the requests field of HttpURLConnection. 1F8B0800 is the "magic number" of a gzip file.
What's going on? This is the second release in a row that's broken existing code (the first by adding a restriction to LDAP search field names).
Later:
I've constructed an SSCE and submitted a bug report on this one. We'll see if anything happens. I'm concerned that pre-release regression testing isn't what it was under Sun.

No, Since I didn't particularly intend to install the upgrade myself, but I have now and nothing seems relevant.
This is a moderately significant piece of functionality, and they have no business changing it in a minor bug fix release.
By the way, when constructing my example I first accidentally put in the header key without the hyphens and that did get through.
1/11:
My [bug report|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6996110] has now been entered:
The work around suggested is to add -Dsun.net.http.allowRestrictedHeaders=true which implies that this was a deliberate change. Google turns up no results for this flag suggesting this is the first public documentation of it.
So this is, indeed, a deliberate change which is not backward compatible, not highlighted in the release notes and made on a minor revision.

Youtube required constant mouse movment to run smoothly. looked for a fix, now youtube no longer works.

I have Firefox 18.0.1, Adobe Flash 11.5.502.146, and Java 7.11
My Youtube required me to constantly move my mouse over the youtube window to get it to run smoothly (pretty annoying). so I came here for help, and it said disable all plugins. did so.

I have also restarted and started my computer many many times and still nothing..

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
