Java not working correctly in any browsers on snow leopard

In very recent months, I have experienced problems with java and many of its applications. But now it doesn't work well at all. For example, if I try to go to Minecraft Classic in Safari, it only gives me a black screen so the graphics part is not displaying correctly. I know everything else is working because the game centers the curser in the middle of the screen, and you can pause the game and so on. What is going on with Java? Why can't the company itself just make it? Why does apple allow Adobe Flash to have Adobe's own plugin, but Apple doesn't allow Java's plugin? Things would be so much better that way.

I think we are in the same boat; I just posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15791350#15791350

Clientless VPN and Java not working correctly

In a recent discovery we found that the newest version of java will not work with our Cisco SSLVPN setup
We are using an ASA5510 with 8.0.4 IOS version and 6.1.3 ADSM version and most users use an mstsc.exe smart tunnel to rdp into our terminal server farm.
Our laptops are being imaged with Java 6 update 3 (this works fine) then upgraded to Java 6 update 11, after which the smart tunnel appears to launch but a connection cannot be established. Reinstalling the older version of Java resolves the problem.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and found a workaround. Currently, company equipment is not being upgraded to the latest version of Java but personal equipment is a different story.

To get the old downloader back follow the directions below.
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Filter '''browser.download.useToolkitIT'''.
# Double click and '''make sure it says true.'''
# You now have the classic downloader back! Yay!
Any issues or confused?

Finder stop working 10810 Desktop not working either Mac Book Pro 13 Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Finder stopped working 10810. I have reboot it, created a new adm account but desktop not showing files or icons on it.
I have deleted com.apple.finder.plist and even though not working.
I dont have the disks available how to recover or make finder work .
Any suggestion are welcome.

Sounds like a issue when the video cache file is being written, perhaps anti-virus is scanning it, or it's being written to smaller or failing sectors.
1: Hard drives ideally below 50% filled, never more than 80%, use Activity Monitor> Drive Usage.
2: Always on anti-virus? Uninstall it, use the free, run as you need it ClamXav instead
4: MacKeeper? Uninstall it and never use it again.
5: Copy all User files to a external storage drive (not only TimeMachine), reduce user files down, disconnect all drives, use Disk Utility > Erase Zero Free Space to catch failing sectors in free space on the boot drive.
6: Restored from TimeMachine or clone? Likely restored a corrupted system or malware.
Run through this list from #1 - #16 or go hard core and #9 and Zero erase entire drive in #20, start over.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
7: Your drive is possibly failing, you should think about replacing it

I just downloaded snow leopard and now ichat 4.0.9 will not work. .9, i just downloaded snow leopard and now ichat 4.0.9 will not work. .9

tried software update but no cigar.. help!

Hi,
Snow Leopard is not a download. It only comes on Disk to Install.
It would bring you iChat 5
Only iChat 5 will work in Snow Leopard.
Check if you have tow Versions of iChat.
It should be in the Applications Folder but will get missed in the Upgrade process if it is in a sub folder (which in turn the DOCK icon may be linked to)

Permissions are not shown correctly in Get Info on Snow Leopard client, using Tiger server w/ ACL's

Invoking "Get Info" on a file or folder which is on a shared volume hosted by a G5 running Server 10.4 fails to show meaningful permissions when done from a 10.6 iMac. It says only that the user has "custom permissions", which is true since there are ACL's in operation. However, the Owner and Group POSIX settings are not shown, only the Everyone setting shows, making it impossible to determine which user created the file (in order to resolve issues when permissions prevent intended action). The same file or folder will show Owner and Group on 10.5 systems, as well as at the 10.4 Server itself, so we do have a workaround. I have noticed, though, that I have run into permissions restrictions where I should not, such as creating a folder on a shared volume using a 10.6 system, and then not being able to save into that folder from the same system/user.
Is there something about the implementation of ACL's in Tiger that confounds Snow Leopard's Finder?

Hi,
I did two things to get it working, and haven't taken the time to sort out which did it. But it is working so it's good enough for me.
First I followed TeenTitan's suggestion, and also checked "Allow printing from the internet". I'm behind a firewall so not too concerned I'll get someone's odd photo on the printer.
Second I went back to server admin, selected the queue under queues in the Print service, then selected IPP and deselected LPR. Bonjour went grey but stayed checked.
After this I see the printer with "@ server name" appended, and it added the printer drivers like it should.
So all working well.

Isight not working with skype and tokbox after snow leopard upgrade

Recently, I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. After the upgrade, I found that my built-in iSight camera wasn't recognized on TokBox. On Skype, it said that the iSight camera was in use by another application (however no other applications were running). The iSight is working with iChat, so I don't know what is wrong... everything was fine when I was using Tiger!

hellokitty650 wrote:
Okay, so I restarted my computer and that didn't work.
Then, I went through the suggestions from the link you posted. I found that the iSight works in iChat and Photobooth; however, it does not work in iMovie HD (exactly the same in both user accounts on my computer). Just like before, the iSight is "in use by another application" in Skype on both user accounts.
I reset the SMC, but it didn't seem to help anything. Everything was acting the same as before I reset it.
I also noticed that my iTunes and my iMovie won't open; they both quit unexpectedly every time I try to open them. This happens in both user accounts as well.
Okay, so it will be simplest to work your issues in steps. We will start with iMovie.
Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then reinstall iMovie HD 6. Repair permissions again after the installer finishes.
If the version of iMovie HD 6 in your iLife '06 DVD is not "6.0.3", download and install the update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL319
If you need to do this update, repair permissions again after the update is finished.
Test the reinstalled iMovie HD 6 to see if it works in more than one user account and post back the results.

Known issue: 5th gen ipods do not work reliably with 10.6.1 (snow leopard)

I just got off the phone with Apple support - there is a known issue preventing 5th gen ipods from connecting to Snow Leopard computers.
I can confirm that it's a 10.6 issue - everything worked fine on 10.5.8 with iTunes 9, but right after the upgrade, no connect (not even in Disk Utility). Apple's working on a fix, but no ETA yet. My 1st gen touch works just fine.
If you attempt to connect, it'll hang Disk Utility and may require a hard-boot to reset everything.
So we just need to be patient.

yeeahhhhh... I just plugged my ipod classic 5th gen, 30g into my brand new macbook pro... and it doesn't show anything up. Didn't even aweknowledge the ipod as a device. and worst of all... it said it was connected so i couldn't take it out but i had to since it wasn't doing anything so i unplugged it and now... it froze...
If i reset my ipod or wait till the batteries run out and then connect it to my pc. will it work still?

Apple TV not working correctly. Any troubleshooting tips?

I have had Apple TV for about 8 months now. No major problems until now. Netlfix won't stream neither will already purchased iTunes content. Netflix hasn't worked in the past and has been glitchy at times but has usually corrected itself within a day. This has been about a week now, and then iTunes also started acting up. My internet connection is fine. My netflix account and iTunes all work on other devices. I have logged out of Netflix and logged back in as well as unplugging the Apple TV and re-booting it. Same problem. Any tips on what to do next? Thanks. I don't know if it's Apple TV or Apple TV 2, but it was purchased in August 2012 if that helps.

I too am wondering if it's the 2 year old TV that may be an issue however I also don't have an easy way to test that either. I have emailed Sharp to ask them if they know of any issues with my version of the Aquos but haven't heard from them. I also verified there are no firmware updates for the TV.
I don't have any other HDMI sources to try with the TV and also don't have another TV with a HDMI port to try the AppleTV with. I am going to try another cable. If that doesn't solve it, I think I'll have to take the AppleTV to the Apple Store to see if they will test the HDMI port for me so that at least I'm sure that the unit is fully operational.

Between dowloading issues and Java not working correctly, when the next version coming out? I'm a breath away from switching to IE

I cannot use the Java pull down menus on USAA.com, and downloads cancel when I close Firefox and cannot be resumed. What happened to the old downloader? I have to use IE in order to use USAA.com (primary banking). I tried updating Java, I tried a reinstall on firefox, clearing my cache, everything. No dice. If a new version doesn't come out soon I'm switching to IE... I've been loyal for 10 years.

To get the old downloader back follow the directions below.

Java not working correctly after Mavericks Install

I just installed Mavericks on my iMac yesterday. When i go into terminal and run java -version this is what i see.
java version "1.7.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_13-b20)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
So to me it appears that Java is installer and working as it should ..... but when i try to load into my IDE it tells me that it doesnt see java and prompts me to download it again.
Did mavericks leave a JRE and uninstall the JDK?

I may have found it.
I use Kepler 64b and I do have an Apple 1.6 JDK installed in the JavVirtualMachines folder.
Below is my copy of /Applications/eclipse kepler/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini
-startup
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar

You may notice the line that says “-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6”. I dont know if that is significant but our two systems are subtly different.

Adobe Flash is not working in Safari (5.1.7 Snow Leopard)

It's been down for at least 6 months.I've uninstalled and reinstalled Safari and Flash but nothing has worked. I've already emptied my cache and deleted all extensions. Java is enabled. There is no Adobe Flash folder in the Adobe Application folder though. I can't find instructions on how to fix this.
I feel like I'm going crazy and I want to throw my computer out of the window...Or just switch permanently to Firefox. I have all of my passwords saved in Safari so I'd rather not do that though. Please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

FaceTime not working on 17" macbook pro with Snow Leopard

I have a 17" macbook pro from around 2008 (2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM) that will not connect using FaceTime. I tried to call my daughter on her iPod Touch 4G and the call says "Connecting" it rings on both ends, but then my picture freezes and it never completes the connection, just hangs up and says "Call failed". She can facetime her friends with other iPods just fine, so I think the problem is with my mac. I also tried calling to another mac that has facetime working fine, but I could not connect to that one either. Same result...ringing, connecting, screen freeze, drop call, no connection. I've seen others with this problem on google, but their suggestions have not fixed the problem either. I even tried deleting facetime and then downloading it again from app store and still same result. I am able to use skype perfectly fine with this macbook pro, so I don't see it as a camera problem.

Adobe Flash palyer 13.0.82 is not working in Safari (5.1.10 Snow Leopard) - A

I have lot of problems today, no install it!!!!!! continue with older version !!! 12.0.77 until the problem solve.

Empirically, Adobe has not been known for software stability, design nor security prowess, particularly with their free software offerings. Apple deprecated and removed the Adobe software tools from OS X a while back, too.
See if using an H.264 extension tool can eliminate the need for Adobe Flash Player.
Otherwise, please check with the Adobe folks directly.
