Java update version on Snow Leopard

IntelliJ had major problems with the Java Update 4 available for Leopard, so I ended up not installing it on my MBP. I am hesitating to install Snow Leopard (very temptingly sitting next to my keyboard) because of the issue. Anyone know if Java is at update 4 (I would expect it is), and if anyone has had a chance to see if there are issues with Java 6? Hoping to upgrade soon, but don't really want to have to clean reinstall Leopard in a day.
Thanks
Rakesh

Thanks. I installed the update yesterday, and have been running IntelliJ for a few hours without any of the issues I noticed with update 4.
The only issue I have seen so far is with screen sharing. I get just a blank window when I try to access my Leopard desktop machine. Not related in any way with my original post, but just thought I would share the information in case someone finds it useful.

  • Huge memory leak in java jvm after update 2 for Snow leopard

    Since I updated to Java Update 2 for Snow Leopard my JVM suddenly grows massive (10GB+ real memory - -Xmx=3500m) consuming all memory and rendering my iMac unusable. This does not happen predictably but does happen several times a day now requiring I power off and on again.
    I had been living happily with update 1 with no such problem.
    I need to either go back to update 1 (should have it on Time Machine) or find a solution for this problem.

    Our application is a j2ee-based commercial application facing to specified customers, having about 120 access request an hour.
    We ' re doing stress test on the test server. The strange memory leak occurs at 1:20 am this morning while we're out of company , and no job was scheduled to run at that time. So I have the tendency to image that there is something inside oc4j had occured.
    I have used OptimizeIt to monitor the heap status. However , as the memory leak problem occurs very occasionally ,and that tool deadly slows our server, we are currently using no profiling tools.

  • I have a mac  book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. it doesnt show on software updat

    I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

    10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
    To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

  • WHAT IS MOST STABLE VERSION OF SNOW LEOPARD

    I've just completed a clean install of OS X 10.6.3.  My usual methods are to use Software Update to get the latest version of Snow Leopard and I had been using 10.6.7.  However lately I have had to do the clean install partly because somewhere along the line I downloaded a Java Update that the permissions would never clear up in Disk Utility.  This, I believe, along with a botched setup of Parallels v4.0, my business iMac machine was becoming quite unstable and slow.  Note: some of my favored applications are pre 2005 versions running under Rosetta.

    However lately I have had to do the clean install partly because somewhere along the line I downloaded a Java Update that the permissions would never clear up in Disk Utility.
    We all get those. They are not errors, consequently they will never be "repaired." It just means Apple hasn't updated the Permissions database.
    The question should not be which version is the most stable, rather, which version is compatible with third party apps you must have and don't want to lose. As OS updates progress, PPC apps, especially, running under Rosetta, may lose some of their functionality. Updating is important in order to get the latest security patches. So, it's a possible tradeoff.
    Here are my Java Permissions that won't be repaired. I think I made this screenshot for 10.6.4 or 5 and many more have been added since.

  • I have a MacBook that is running 10.5.8 and I cannot update it to Snow leopard

    I have a MacBook that is running 10.5.8 and meets the tech specs for Snow Lepoard.  I am attempting to upgrade to SL using a "Mac OS X Install DVD version 10.6.3".  However, when attempting to run the installer from the disc I recieve an error stating "This Mac cannot be upgraded to this version of OS X."  No further information is given nor are there any buttons or clicks to recieve additional info.  I receive the same error whether I'm running the installer when the Mac is already running or when holding down the C key as the computer starts up.
    Does anyone know why this issue is occurring or how to resolve it?
    Thanks

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

  • TS1394 Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)

    Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)
    Hi, I am currently using Snow Leopard 10.6 on my iMac. I opened iTunes and was told there was an update available so I clicked the button to download it. This obviously opened up the 'download' screen with blue bar. The blue bar does not move and the message comes up that the download failed. I have tried troubleshooting, but the message I get is that I am not connected to the internet - which I am.
    Please help.

    Check your iTunes version, it's reporting v10.6.3 here on 10.6.8 and no updates required.
    You should be able to download it from here

  • Which version of Snow Leopard Do I Need?

    My MacBook is almost 4 yrs old and I'm running Leopard 10.5.8. Can I upgrad with any version of Snow Leopard and, if so, where is the best place to find a copy?
    Thanks

    Check the system requirements, then phone Apple sales to order a copy of Snow Leopard. After installation, you should download and run the 10.6.8 Combo Updater.

  • Are Different Versions of Snow Leopard specific to different Macs?

    I've seen on eBay new copies of Snow Leopard that says they will only install on certain Macs, with wording like "These discs will work only with the correct computer listed above." And in the photos of the disks you can sometimes see them labeled with the name of a Mac type, such as an iMac. Yet when I go to the Apple Store to buy Snow Leopard there aren't different versions for different computers. Will any version of Snow Leopard install on an Intel-based Mac? If so, can it then be updated with the latest verion? I have an early 2008 model 4,1 MacBook Pro.

    Apple when they include the hardware specific DVD with Mac, never sold them in the stores. All they sold is the generic one that worked on all Mac.
    It is only on eBay that you see the gray DVD which are hardware specific for sales.
    I tend to avoid purchasing from eBay because so many of the seller don't know what they are doing so they are now able to give you the correct data.

  • Any update for safari snow leopard 10.6.8 ?

    safari need to be updated in the version of 10.6.8. where miliions of users still use this version of osx believing this version is the best yet.
    In the name of millions of Apple's customers we ask sarafi to be updated.

    H Adam ..
    Apple will never update Safari on OS X v10.6.8  >    Apple Kills Snow Leopard: OS X 10.6 No Longer Receives Security Updates
    OS X Snow Leopard is very outdated OS X. It cannot meet today's necessary security requirements.
    Unless you use Rosetta for PowerPC apps, your Mac may be able to upgrade to v10.10 Yosemite.
    Read here >  Apple - OS X Yosemite - How to Upgrade
    That would install Safari 8.

  • Setting the Software Update Server on Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger

    I have made an app that will set the Software Update Server on Snow Leopard, Leopard or Tiger. It will set the Software Update Server by checking the Server's version to see if it is compatible with your OS version. If you try to use a Leopard (no Snow Leopard Hack (See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10297359#10297359)) or Tiger Server with Snow Leopard it will say it is not compatible. If it is it will set it. If you are trying to use a Tiger Server with Leopard it will set it but you will only get Tiger updates.
    The app is beta, if you find any problems or have any comments please reply.
    Download: http://iwczone.co.uk/projects/iSetSU/

    You might want to look into throwing Software Update Enabler onto your clients.
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18059
    Basically, it's just a little app that points the client in the direction of the Software Update Server - you just enter the IP of the server into the config field. With a standalone server I don't think you can get the clients to see the server without something showing them the way.
    It's really very tiny and simple - I believe it just edits a com.apple.softwareupdate.plist or some such, but it made life a lot easier for us in our environment.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

  • How do I upgrade my Core2Duo Mini OSX10.4.11 to the latest version of Snow Leopard?

    How do I upgrade my Core2Duo Mini OSX10.4.11 to the latest version of Snow Leopard?
    I am aware I should upgrade from 1GB to 2GB of RAM.  Can I just purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install from that?  Will I be able to run my Microsoft Office 2004 suite?  Is it worth doing?  I can't run any decent browsers with this old dinosaur.....but I'd rather not cough up $600 clams for a new one....
    I have 7GB available on my hard drive.
    Thanks in advance for help with this.

    You may also want to upgrade the HD or at least move large libraries onto external disks (since a macmini generally does not move like a laptop an external disk is just another desktop item).  7 GB free will be chewed into hard by SL and you should always have 15-20 GB free to allow OSX room to perform normal operations.
