Java SE 6 on Yosemite?

I just updated my mac to Yosemite and the following message keeps popping up "To open 'this Java application' you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." No matter if I click "ok" or "More Info..." (the only two options) it keeps coming up. Is there some way I can find out what app is triggering the message or fix the issue?

Oops spoke to soon. It still wants an update.
I think what you have to do is install 8 and then do the Java 8 Update 25 (8u25). "If" I'm reading this correctly, the 8u20 has a bug and the 8u25 fixed it.
Here is what the notes say and the link:

How do I install Java on Mac OS X 10.10?
This article applies to:
Platform(s): Macintosh OS X
Java version(s): 7.0, 8.0
Starting with Java 8 Update 25 (8u25), download and install Java 8 from java.com. A bug was fixed in 8u20 which had prevented the installation of prior releases of Java on Mac OS X 10.10. If you need to install Java 7 for Mac 10.10, you can get the latest Java 7 version from java.com. A bug was fixed in 7u71 which prevented the installation of Java 7 on Mac OS X 10.10.

  • Java install fails in Yosemite

    I'm trying to install Java after upgrading to Yosemite but every version fails to download. I've trying installing the version Apple suggests, directly from Oracle, and even an older version of Java but it all seems to fail at the same spot. I've tried restarting my computer and installing, but that failed as well.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please try to install from hidden admin account in windows/ root account on mac.
    Thanks

  • Does Java 6 work with Yosemite OS?

    I have an application that requires Java. I had upgraded to the Yosemite OS. I installed Java 6 as required for the app. However, it seems some functions in my app still don't work. So, my question is does Java 6 work with Yosemite? I had no problems with Maverick OS.

    There are thousands of Java apps. I don't have a list of which ones work and which don't. If Java is installed and the app doesn't work, only its developer could tell you more.

  • Download legacy Java for PS CS3 Yosemite compatibility

    When I try to load Photoshop CS3 Extended after installing latest version of Yosemite, I get an error message telling me to install a legacy version of Java to enable Photoshop. Clicking on the "more information" button brings me neither a link to download or further information. So,
    √ How can I download the appropriate legacy Java so I can continue to use Photoshop which apparently is no longer upgradable?
    √ If I do install the older version of Java, will that negatively impact my use of other applications? Will that uninstall my updated version of Java which I need for other App?
    Will be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks in advance

    This is the Java version CS3 is looking for: Apple's version.

Also how can I check that the the correct Java that came with Yosemite is now working?

  • Which Java Version do I need?

    Does anyone know which version of Java to use on Yosemite?  I think it's 8u25 but am not sure if it's  Java JDK, Server JRE or JRE?  Trying to run screen-cast-o-matic and I have an outdated version of the Java aplet.

    2. Attempt to use any File Dialogue Box, such as "Browse.." etc

    Any Workarounds:
    None
    ** It appears that the issue could possibly be related to Java**
    See: OS X Yosemite (10.10) BETA Known Issues - IS&T Contributions - Hermes
    **Flash Builder 4.7 requires legacy Java SE 6

    You could try and install a recent version of Eclipse and install the FB plugin.

  • InDesign CS5 won't launch with OS X 10.10

    I'm trying to use InDesign CS5 on a new MacBookPro with OS X 10.10.  When trying to open the app I get a notification that I need "to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime."  I have Java 8 installed on this computer and I don't think I can, or should go back to Java 6.  What do I do now?

  • I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

  • 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?

  • Installed yosemite. CS5 no longer workers. Error message about Java SE 6. But SE 6 doesn't seem to have a MAC version. How can I resolve?

    Installed Yosemite on my Mac. CS5 no longer workers. When I try to open Photoshop, I get an error message about needing a Java SE 6. This is different from the other Java update Yosemite required (I already installed that). I assumed the higher update would suffice for previous versions, but I guess it doesn't work that way. Went over to the Java site, but SE 6 doesn't seem to have a MAC version. How can I resolve this?

  • Have down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion. Indesign CS 5 is not working and requests Java script CE6. Apple stated Java 10 , but it still does not operate although Bridge works so as Light room and Photo Elements. How do I solve this problem

Indesign CS5 does not operate although Bridge, Light room and also Photoshop elements operate OK A sub menu from Indesign request Java SE 6, after a long play with Apple  I end up with Java 10 How can I solve this problem rapidly. Pity apple do not test there products before offering them to the public. It costs us. Many thanks Davi E-C
