Java versions on Mac OS-X
I'm curious about the layout of various Java versions on Mac OS-X 10.6, and what happens if one installs JDK 1.5 on a Mac OS-X 10.6 ...
This is what currently exists on this new MacBook Pro machine:
ls -al /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
total 48
drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 374 Aug 14 13:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 408 Nov 11 09:19 ..
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Aug 14 13:52 1.3 -> 1.3.1
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Jul 20 16:35 1.3.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Aug 14 13:52 1.5 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Aug 14 13:52 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Aug 14 13:52 1.6 -> 1.6.0
drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Nov 11 09:19 1.6.0
drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 306 Nov 11 09:19 A
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 Aug 14 13:53 Current -> A
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Aug 14 13:52 CurrentJDK -> 1.6
Just checking, CuriousMind ... did you intend to post in this particular forum? (This is the Safari for Windows forum, so Mac folks with the knowledge to help you may not necessarily see your post here ...)

I wonder if somebody can help me. I am not able to use my internet bank anymore, since Java launched their latest update (7.51) a few days ago. Appearently this one is not compatible with my hardware. I am using Mac OSX version 10.6.8, and Java version 17.0, which seems to be the newest one for my op sys. Anybody know how I can solve this? In advance thank you!

Since August 2012 updates for Java (and especially Java Runtime Environment, which is what you actually need) must now be downloaded direct from Oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1637588.h tml
(which is for Java 7)

The recently discovered zero-day flaw in Java 7 is so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned users to disable or uninstall it, and Apple has disabled the Java 7 plugin on Macs through its OS X anti-malware system, in order to protect users from a potentially serious security issue.
You should disable Java (if not already done) until either the US Department of Homeland Security, or Oracle, declare it safe and Apple restore the facility. Oracle have released an update said to fix the security flaw, available from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.h tml
Javascript should not be disabled (it has nothing to do with Java).

Yes. Always keep the default settings unless you have a specific reason not to.
If you are a heavy user of Java programs or applets, you may need to clear the cache files after Java updates because the old caches may interfere. -
I downloaded the Java update version 7 update 9 as advised by computer - but the computer does not recognize the download - as instructed I pressed Command R and also tried Command Q
I downloaded the update twice - still the computer does not recognise the download.
In my serarch on the web there seems to be issues in this download.
I think there is an new patch , Not sure where to find this that is relevant to my computer.
Be grateful if someone could send me a link and instructions on the relevant choice for my computer.
Also Do I need to uninstall old Java downloads. if yes Please advisee how I should do this.
Be grateful if you could send me a link that will allow the updated Java to be recogized by my computer Mac Version 10.7.5
thank you
SueI have downloaded the latest Java (JRE) and Java is checked enabled as well as JavaScipt and Web plug-ins are enabled.
I thought I would download once again from your link - MacOSX jre7u6 Macosx-x64 dmg.
On opening the package to install was advised that a higher version of the JRE is already installed on the system.
Still unable to open my Labs software as the advice is still to download the latest Java.
Checking the net again found another Java option for Mac Lion - so I downloaded and installed the version OS X2012 -006.
Still no joy, as my photo Lab software keeps givng me the same message that i to open " RGB Digital Direct" I need to download the Java Runtime Environment for Web Start Application.
I then went back into Java Website and it gave an option to detect whether I have the correct Java Software - report came back - Verified Java Version - " Congratulations You have the recommended Java installed ( Version 7 Update 9)"
BE grateful of your expert advice.

In MAC 10.5.8 I see that latest Java version is 1.5.0_30, can I install latest Java 1.6 version in MAC if yes, how can I install that?
This is a User-to-User forum. We do not have any knowledge into what Apple will or will not do.
However, based on past history, it is unlikely Apple will invest anything except critical security updates into Mac OS X 10.5. I could be wrong.
If you really REALLY need Java 1.6 on your Mac, you should consider upgrading to a newer version of Mac OS X. -
Can old java versions be loaded on a mac?
Can I load an old version of java on a macbook pro? The version I need to use is 1.6.0_23
thank youApple blocks old Java versions because of serious security issues, so you won't be able to install that Java version on your Mac. You can only install the latest Java 6 version or, if you have OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, Java 7

HT1338 download Java version 10.6.8 and above
Hello
I have a MAC Pro (OZ X 10.6.8). My netbank "log in" service requires the newest version of Java.
Have tryed to download Java 6 again - Have also tryed to download the "7 version", but my Mac dosent accept that (think it was Lion version?).
My netbank is; SR bank, Norway. There is a link on their homepage - but, that dosent help me anything.
I have also checked under
JAVA SE 6 IS THERE, both 64 bit and 32 bit. It is also hooked of (activiate...). THe version I got is: 1.6.0_37-bo6-434 (both).If I am not wrong that is the version my bank requires.
What am bit unsure/conserneded about is if i have the Java version installed (even if I found "Java choice" under programs.
Can you please help me. This has never been a problem before...(it started when Java had a lot of problem)
Kind regards Annie
([email protected])To see if Java is installed (that is, if you haven't disabled it in Java Preferences.app) enter into Terminal in Utilities and hit return.
java -version
If you use Safari, Apple has disabled Java 6 from there. Probably also Firefox and Chrome. -

Just read "Best of Macworld" article "How to disable Java on your Mac," in email dated 2/25/13. I'm a dinosaur running OS 10.4.11 and Java 1.5.0_19, which is earlier than the versions addressed in the article. Do I remove/isolate in the same manner? Will the effects of removal/isolation the same as described in the article?

I can't open any java file, it says "the .jar file could not be launched check the console for possible error messages". My macbook is running on 10.5.8, any versions of JAVA that works on this version?
Hi, Java 7 is out for 10.5.8
Locate the version of Java that’s installed on your Mac OS X system.
1. Open the Utilities folder and run the Terminal application.
2. Type java -version and press Enter.
(space between java & -v important)
The version of Java that you have installed will then be displayed on the screen. -

I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.
If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again. -
My Applet start failed due to security warning after upgrading java version
Hi Team,
We have an application where we read the weight from the attached weighing Scale (Hardware device).
For this we use one Applet which runs and reads the data.
Now we upgraded the Java version from 1.6 to 1.7 and started encountering a security alert 'Running unsigned applications like this will be blocked in a future release because it is potentially unsafe and a security risk'.
Our application runs on a HTP port not on HTTPS because this is installed in client premise and no risk in opening HTTP port internally.
Could you please help us in resolving the issue. We don't want to see the alert even after upgrading the Java version.
Thanks,
