Java update 2012-006 did not remove Java plugin from any browser

I successfully installed Java update 2012-006 via Software Update on my iMac running OS X Lion 10.7.5 (German) and it updated the Java runtime to version 1.6.0_37 and removed the Java Preferences application as expected, but it did not remove the Java plugin from any browser!
Safari and Firefox can still use the Java plugin as before.
I repaired permissions, rebooted, manually downloaded Java update 2012-006 and successfully installed it again without any change to the Java plugin: it is still present on my system and fully functional from any browser!
The web is full with messages from users missing the Java plugin after installing this update - but I could not find anything about the plugin not being removed!
Is anyone experiencing the same behaviour under Lion? I thought this would happen only under Snow Leopard...
What should I do now? Can I really trust this "successfull installation" of Java update 2012-006 on my system?
Thanks,
Michael

Thanks - I will keep the symlink in place and I won't touch the Deploy bundle, because I need the plugin in Safari and I don't need Oracle's Java 7 for now...
If the plugin is supposed to stay in the Deploy bundle, this could help others who miss the plugin - they could just recreate the symlink, right?
To summarize I think we can state, that the Java update 2012-006 for Lion and Mountain Lion sometimes leaves the symlink in /Library/Internet Plugins/ untouched.
The circumstances that lead to this behaviour are still unknown.
The install log in Console shows that the scripts to create links and to delete obsolete files ran okay, but there was an error with the "postinstall" script. In spite of this the installation succeeded:

Does anybody know what "com.apple.mrt.uiagent" and "com.apple.mrt" stands for?
Obviously the "postinstall" script provides an invalid argument (at least on my system).
I have no idea if this is related to the Java Plugin symlink not being removed...

  • AppStore submissions fail after Java Update 2012-006 1.0

    Dear All.
    After running the Java Update 2012-006 1.0 submissions to the app store using XCode Organizer no longer work. Upload fails.
    The error message is well known (an error occurred uploading to the itunes store) and it is also known that the error is related to Java as described in this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5783481/an-error-occurred-uploading-to-the-it unes-store - how ever the fixed described there did not work for me.
    Uploading the app from a machine which did not run the update worked.
    Best

    Fixed... Here is what I did.
    To start with I had installed Oracles Java 1.7 JDK, which was really messing things up.
    Went to Finder>Applications and entered in Search box - JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
    Right clicked and removed to trash.
    A check in Terminal for Java version still showed Java 1.7
    my-imac:~ my$ java -version
    java version "1.7.0_07"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b10)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode)
    1. Finder>Computer>Library>Java>JavaVirtualMachines showed the 1.7 SDK (make note of exact name of the Directory name)
    Just in case anything went wrong I copied the 1.7 SDK folder to my desktop before doing the next item
    2. In terminal type
    cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
    3. You should now be in that directory
    sudo rm -rf jdk1.7.0_06.jdk  (or whatever the exact name of the directory is in step 1.)
    You may have to enter your administrator password
    The directory should now be deleted and you can verify in Terminal by
    java -version
    Mine now showed "Java 1.6_xxx"
    Went into Xcode Organizer and distributed my app to the iTunes store without a problem. Whoo,hoo!

    Hi RadarCat16,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

    My wife recieved invite event from my PC Outlook. She accepted it, but it never showed up on her iCloud or iCal on our iMac. Then I removed her as an invitee and it did not remove the event from her iPhone. So now she has a event on her iPhone that is not on either her iCloud or iCal. How do I remove it from her iPhone?

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

  • The last update 15.01 did not remove 15.0 is it safe to remove 15.0?

    After doing the the last update 15.01 a few days later as part of my regular maintenance I go to remove programs to check for anomalous or invasive programs. I noticed Firefox 15.0 is still there. Normally the program replaces itself and or removes older versions. I am assuming it is safe to remove 15.0

    Hey, me too. I'm not inclined to touch either of them without someone digging through the Windows Registy and figuring out what the Uninstall button will do. If you like to experiment, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings folder (your Profiles folder) in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. For example, you can copy your entire Firefox Profiles folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.

  • I purchased an iPhone 4S second-hand, and the previous owner did not remove the iPhone fron their iCloud account. They do not know their Apple ID.

    I bought an iPhone 4S secnd-hand. The previous owner did not remove the iPhone from their iCloud account. I've tried contacting the previous owner, but they also do not know.  What should I do now?

    If they were the one who set the lock, send them this link.
    If not, you need to contact the person who did or the device's original owner.

  • Java problem after update 2012-006

    Hi,
    Today was update 2012-006 concerning java. It deinstalls java 6 from your mac. If you want java, you get it from java.com. This is a java 7 version.
    but help: I want to go back!
    there are some web-apps that do not work with this new java-version. Downgrading is not possible, becauase java 6 is only available through mac update itself. And if I want to install this again, it says that a newer version is already installed.
    can anybody hellp me out?

    Today was update 2012-006 concerning java. It deinstalls java 6 from your mac.
    That is not actually correct, according to Apple's documentation of Java for OS X 2012-006:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5549
    It should update Java to 1.6.0_37, which is still Java 6. (Java 7 is 1.7.x.) However, Apple has changed the way Java works. The system now disabled Java by default, and if you turn Java back on, the system will disable it again if you don't use it for a certain period of time. It's also possible that the system will disable Java every time there's an update. (I'm not sure about that, as I don't have Java installed myself, for security reasons.)
    For more information about this, including how to re-enable Java, see Using Java in Mac OS X. You should note, though, that enabling Java in your web browser has become a very risky proposition... Java has more holes in it than Swiss cheese!

  • Java update 2012-003 download is corrupted

    What if Java update 2012-003 can't be installed because download is corrupted?  This has happened four or five times.  Does this mean that Flashback has learned to defend itself from the update?
    Thanks-
    Robin

    Most likely, you have a corrupt hard drive.  To fix that, assuming you are using Lion, restart the computer and hold down command-R at startup.  When it boots into recovery mode, start Disk Utility and use it to repair the hard drive.  Then restart normally and try agian.  If it still fails, you'll need to do some other troubleshooting.
    Also, note that you don't need to download the update manually.  Just run Software Update, and install whichever update is there.  It's possible that, if you're trying to install the wrong update for your machine, you're getting an incorrect error message.

  • Java-Applet-Plug-In shows up in Safari, but I did not install Java

    Hello,
    in Safari, when you click on "Help" and then on "Installed Plug-Ins", you get a list of all Plug-Ins installed. Beside the Quicktime- and PDF-Plug-Ins there's also this Plug-In listed:
    I wonder what this is, because I did not install Java on my fresh installed Mountain Lion.
    Second thing I wonder about is this: By the fact that this Applet is listed under "Plug-Ins" what affect does it have, when I uncheck the Option for Java in Safaris securtiy options? Do I also need to uncheck "Plug-Ins", or can I leave it as it is? Same questions, if I pretend Java is installed.
    Thanks alot for clearing that up! Again, there's a huge security issue with Java, as seen in recent news. And excuse my English.

    After being connectred to a charging source overnight
    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IWork updates did not Remove old Ver.

    The new Pages-Numbers-Keynote updates did not remove older versions. Delete them myself I guess?

    Gregory:
    WAIT!  Before you delete the old versions (which should be in a folder named:  "iWork '09", I would strongly recommend that you KEEP the old versions around for a while.
    Apple has stripped out a lot of functionality from the new iWorks apps, basically dumbing them down to be more compatible with the more limited iDevice versions.  I would keep the old versions around indefinitely because you may find that they have some functionality that you want that the new iWork apps don't have.

    Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
    I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
    In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

    I have updated my iPod and it deleted everything including my photos and I did not save my photos on any other device, How do I get them back?

    You didn't import all of your pics regularly?  Particularly before an update?
    They may very well be gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

    I thought I would voice my opinion as well.
    I have an iPhone 3G and whilst I would like to say that it is excellent and that I enjoy using it the reality is that in its current state (2.02 software) it is unusable. I really had to hold my tongue there - I feel really mad at present and feel that apple should try to release software that has been through at least one decent test cycle.
    I am on my second phone - the first being returned at the suggestion of apple care who suggested it may be a hardware fault - there was no fault with the hardware - again software issues but I exchanged it to cover both bases.
    I have never found that the backup to work and simply do a full restore - which at present I perform on a daily basis as the phone locks at the apple screen on a daily basis and it then takes over 5 hours to restore - it is unusable.
    I suspect the underlying issue in my case relates to the volume of applications that I load onto the device - but hey it should be fit for purpose!
    What I am looking for here is honest recongnition and report of the issues and problems with the device from apple - and releases that give a clearer indication of their intended purpose i.e. a little more detail than "Bug Fix". Is that too much to ask?
