Java runtime in Lion

I recently installed Lion and am happy with most of it, except for Java. I get a message that tells me that I need to run java runtime, but that I am not connected to the internet. It states that I must be connected to the Internet before I can run it, but I am connected to the internet. I don't know what to do. I have only had this MacBook Pro for less than a month and am trying to figure it out, but it isn't as easy as most Mac people had me believe. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Alternatively, you can also try this method:
You can use the following method to initiate the Java runtime installation or confirm it is currently installed.
Go to Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.
Open the Java Preferences.
If Java is not installed, you receive the following message:          
“To open “Java Preferences," you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?”

  • Looking for a Java Runtime for lion 10.7.3

    Can somebody tell me, how to install a "java Runtime" on my lion 10.7.3
    Yesterday I updated to Lion, and now a lot of really important programs do not work anymore, always with the question:
    "Install a java runtime" - and when I do the suggested software update, it stop after a time with the message "No software available"
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    Alternatively launch the Java Preferences in the Applications/Utilities folder, that will prompt whether you want to install Java or not.
    Software update isn't showing you anything because Java needs to be installed first, which it isn't by default. You either go through the Java Prefernces or download and install manually. After that Software Update will notify you of future updates for Java, although if you do that today with above methods you'll have the latest version

  • Upgraded to Lion, getting Java runtime error.

    I recently upgraded to Lion. Since then I am getting "Java runtime error" and says I need to downoad java, but that I am not connected to the interned. Clearly I am connected to the internet as I am writing this now. Of course Apple wont let me download java myself from the java website.
    So heeeeeelp?
    thanks!

    Hi Braden,
    you cannot d/l Java from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421 ?
    Have you tried another browser -- maybe that would work?
    Otherwise. the easiest way is of course downloading it on another machine, copying it to a thumb drive and plugging that into your Lion Mac then...
    Hope that helps,

    Have you run Software Update.  You have Java already installed, but it needs to be updated.

  • Having trouble updating Java Runtime for OSX Lion

    Is anyone having problems updating Java Runtime for OSX Lion?

    I have the same problem.  It is not possible to launch the "Java Preferences" app.  When I do, I get the error message:
    'To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.'
    I am *most certainly* connected to the internet, since I'm posting to this forum.

  • Problem with Lion an Java runtime

    I have an application that requires Java runtime, but I can not find it to install.
    When I try to run the 10.7 update 1 for Java I get the dialogue that a more current version is installed.
    When The app that requires the runtime asks if I want to find it, it can't
    I am stumped
    This a a McPro with the most current OS
    Helps?  Please

    That just leaves me scratching my head...
    This shouldn't matter if it's a Java applet but in Safari > Preferences check these settings...
    It may need a handshake with your browser.
    Since Java is installed by default try a re-install (not as radical as you might think)
    Boot up holding command-r keys into Lion Recovery Volume.
    The screen should give you these choices...
    Restore from TM backup
    Reinstall Mac OS X
    Get help online
    Disk Utility
    Choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install in place and won't affect any of your own data.
    If that works check in /Users to see if your account is in there and let us know.
    That wasn't meant for you.

  • I installed Lion today but to my dismay no Adobe CS programmes will run. I am informed that I must install a Java runtime followed by a declaration that I am not connected to the internet....help!

    After installing Lion I tried to run Adobe Photoshop but A message informed me I must "...install Java runtime, but you are not connected to the internet." I am connected to the internet and after running a network diagnostic I was told that there doesn't appear to be a problem with my connection. Can anyone help me?

  • I have a MacBook White.  Everything worked great with Snow Leopard including Mathematica, and all Pogo games. I downloaded Lion two days ago and now neither program works.  The box states that I need J/Link, and/or java runtime.  Help.

    I have a MacBook White, early 2009 model, just downloaded/installed OS X Lion.  Everything worked well with Snow Leopard - Mathematica, pogo.com games. Now, with Lion, I am getting a box that states I need J/Link, and/or java runtime.  Software update feature states all software is up to date.  Help.

    What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
    The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
    An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded  to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.
    Cheers

  • Java runtime 6 (crazy) install problem - OS X 10.7.5

    Hello everyone,
    I have been reading the various threads on this issue, but found no answer to my problem:
    I am under Lion version 10.7.5 - MacBookPro
    I need Java 6 for a program I use for my work.
    When I want to install from Java Preferences, i get the following message:
    "To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet." But I AM connected to the internet.
    Accroding to waht I read, I went to the Apple download files and downloaded JavaForOSX.dmg file...
    But when I want to install it, I get the message:
    "Alert: A newer version of this package is already installed."
    When I run terminal java -version
    The answer is "No Java runtime present, requesting install."
    And thus I am back to where I started...
    If you could help that would be incredibly helpful!
    Thanks
    Helene

  • HT2476 cannot find java runtime and photoshop will not open

    running OSX Lion on iMac Photoshop will not open. It says I need to update Java Runtime, but I do not have any updates. It says I am not connected to the internet and I am obviously since I am here. Help!!!!

    I downloaded and it opens, but everytime I quit photoshop I get a crash report! there is nothing different except that I upgraded to Lion. Can I uninstall and run Snow Leopard and if so....how do I do that?
    Also, I just downloaded an upgrade to Topaz and it says cannot install on this computer...it is my main plugin for PS
    If you have gone to the Topaz developer's site and see no update for Photoshop in Lion, then all you can really do is contact them to see if they ever intend to update it.  What verion of Photoshop are you using by the way?
    Otherwise

  • Installed Java Runtime and Perian without authentication prompt

    OSX LION 10.7.3 MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz i7 Late 2011
    It was my understanding (and experience thus far) that any changes to the operating system, including the addition of new applications, would prompt admin authorization and require a password.  I recently installed Jave Runtime Environment and Perian without the required authentication.
    I restarted my machine and downloaded and installed Chrome as well.
    Any ideas?

    Only if you weren't logged in as an admin user. Very few require authentication.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Java Runtime

    Adobe Photoshop CS 5 isn't working in Lion. It's telling me that I need to install a Java runtime update but won't because it's saying that I'm not connected to the internet when I am.

    Hi, Have you tried to manually download it from the Apple Support Page?
    If that didn't work, have you tried to download it on another computer and transfer it and install it?
    I've found an KB article from Adobe that lists known issues with Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
    I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Adobe CS5.

    Hi Vijay,
    Problem is with the standard java users,
    Check the status of the ff. and if you choose, try changing the passwords
    SAPJSF, SLDAPIUSER, SLDSUSER, J2EE_ADMIN and J2EE_GUEST are the common standard users of the Java Systems.
