Java Web Start no longer works after Update 4

After applying the update to Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4, my webstart files (.jnlp) now all think they are Internet Explorer files to be opened in Parallels.
Does anyone know how to re-associate these files with Java? Or, otherwise, a workaround to enable me to access the applications again.

You are not alone. This has happened to me and to others. And Apple is aware of the problem.
There seem to be 2 ways.
1. Find the JNLP file in the Finder. Select "Get Info". Choose other from the Open With Pull Down Menu. Navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices and find Java Web Start.app. Then click Change All.
2. Open /System/Library/CoreServices in the Finder. This was suggested by nyagil (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9634326#9685181).

  • Java Web Start no longer works after Update 4 (2)

    There was another thread under this title for which a solution was found by correcting the designated "open with" app back to Java Web Start.
    My problem however is the Java Web Start simply crashes every time i try to open it since the installation of Java Update 4. And I also have a couple of Java apps that also refuse to open since this update.
    Any one have any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi,
    Try this....
    Go to Applcations>Utilities>Java utility and check to see whether it is denying requests to run the java applications. You will need to check the tabs and the options in it to identify the right one.
    Also you can try this...
    Remove the com.apple.launchservices.plist fron ~/Library/Preferences.
    Regards and Good Luck

  • Canon iP2700 is no longer working after update

    My Canon iP2700 is no longer working after doing an update yesterday. I am using the cnijfilter-ip2700series 3.30-2  from  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41797 with cups 1.5.2.

    The CUPS ownership of the USB device file seems OK:

    I've been working on this problem since yesterday and now i'm stuck. Can someone please help?
    EDIT
    I think it's something related to the driver. If i change the driver to another printer model from CUPS the printer works. Prints garbage, but at least works. So this means that we have to wait for a new driver or what?

  • HT5559 Java web start does not work

    I have followed the instructions in this article, including the last step about web start, but it still does not work, neither applets or web start. When I try to launch a JWS application by double clicking it I get the dreaded warning dialog:
    To open this Web Start application, you need to download the Java Runtime Environment.
    Click “More Info…” to visit the website for the Java Runtime Environment.
    I do have a JRE installed, 1.6, since I for compatibility reasons can't upgrade.
    Trying to launch a web start application from the commandline looks like this:
    $ javaws /tmp/airview.jnlp
    Java Web Start splash screen process exiting ...
    Can not find message file: No such file or directory
    Regular Java-programs work fine.
    $ java -version

    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)

    Read this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4789691?tstart=0
    This fixed the issue for me:
    sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :JavaWebComponentVersionMinimum" /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta. plist
    In the comments to the linked article someone suggests to comment out the node in stead of deleting it. Probably safer (it's explained further down how to do that). Anyway I already spent to much time on this nonsense, deleted it and it worked, so I'm happy.

  • Java Web Start won't work, applications don't open

    I have this problem.
    When I open a Java Web Start application, a white loading screen shows up (Java Loading...), and I wait a few seconds, nothing happens, and the screen disapears. I don't have an idea what's wrong. I'll appreaciate any help.

    Do you have Java configured to pop up a console
    when JWS applications load? If not, ask it to do
    so (I am still not sure that the console will appear,
    but it is worth a try).
    Are you able to load any JWS applications?
    Here is a specific example of a very simple one

    I am just an old guy, not a techie, with diabetes who uses Bayer?s CLUCOFACTS Deluxe for Windows to monitor/manage my blood sugars.
    A couple of weeks ago I had a warning message on starting up the program which led to a call to Bayer. They advised me to update my JAVA applications, which I did. Since that time, I have not been able to open the Bayer?s CLUCOFACTS Deluxe for Windows application.
    I searched the web to see if anyone had a similar problem. It appears a number of people have the same issue and have not been able to solve the problem. I signed up and logged into the JAVA site to see if there might be some clue . . . the lingo is over my head. I did check JAVA, via the site to insure it was running properly on my local disk.
    My gut feeling is a link was broken when the original JAVA was cleaned from the computer in preparation to do a fresh download of JAVA. When the current version was loaded, I was unable to open the application. Thinking it might be a matter of how the programs were loaded, I then downloaded/reinstalled Bayer?s CLUCOFACTS Deluxe for Windows without any luck.
    I am willing to give this another go if you have any specific advice that may help me find a solution. Because I am hearing impaired, the telephone is not an option for working through this problem. We have to rely on email.
    I need very simplified, step by step, instructions get the program up and running again. (Example: Start > Control Panel > JAVA right click > Open)
    I am not into programming or the development side of JAVA; I am just a simple user who needs some advice on how to get the program up and running again in order to manage my diabetes.
    Thank you so very much for taking time to help me!

    Seems you're [not alone|http://www.health-forums.com/alt-support-diabetes/bayer-glucofacts-deluxe-problem-136625.html] <-- link
    Best guess advice is to uninstall Java completely and then install the Java version that came on your GLUCOFACTS (not CLUCOFACTS) CD. Then, from Control Panel -- > Java, clear the checkbox for "Check for updates automatically".
    Good luck!

    Oh, it's probably not a CD but the Java folder on your USB device.

  • Webstart no longer works after update from Java 7 Update 67 to Java 7 Update 71/72

    Hi,
    We have an application that is launched via Webstart.  Last year, we had to make a bunch of changes to the application in order to work with Java 7 Update 45.  It has been working fine up to and including Java 7 Update 67.  However, it is no failing with Java 7 Update 71 and 72.  Upon launch it is giving the error below. I have searched online and found other articles related to the AccessControlException but they are about 7 years old.  I also tried adding this to the java.policy file with no luck.  Any ideas or help would be appreciated to determine what I can do to get this to work for update 71.

  • Airport Express b/g no longer working after update to Airport Utility 5.3.1

    after updating to this the other day, my AE b/g no longer works - like many others on the forum, i get the flashing amber / yellow blinkie light situation. i can hard reset it and get it to initially show up in AU 5.3.1, but once i try to join it to my wireless network (i use it with my laser printer) it never takes, disappears from AU, and sits there flashing relentlessly.
    seems pretty clear that it's related to the 5.3.1 update - it was working fine for nearly 2 years without any issues prior to this. i find it hard to believe it had a total failure related to this - in fact, i just finally updated yesterday after being asked to for 2 weeks, and that's when it stopped working, no question about it.
    any ideas on getting it to work? i've tried everything on these forums to no avail. or am i stuck waiting on AU 5.3.2?

    I just solved the same issue. First I reset my whole network from scratch by hard resetting all devices (1 AEBS N and two AXg). Then I started configuring my main base station and added the other devices to the network one by one. (I have a WDS). Only after setting all the devices to channel 6, did the green light stay on.
    Apparently when you configure a AX to participate in an existing WDS network and you enter the existing network name in the configuration panel of Airport Utility, it creates a separate network with the same name. In order to force it to join the existing network, make sure their Airport ID numbers are entered under the WDS tab in Airport as WDS remotes.

  • Gmail Push no longer works after update to iOS 4.2.1

    I have tested this several times. What previously worked as push yesterday no longer works as push from my Gmail account today after updating to 4.2.1. Is anyone else having this issue? In order to get mail to show up on my phone, I have to go into Mail on my phone. Then the little connecting thing starts up and all the mail since the last time I checked appears.

    This may be related -- I just updated my iPhone to 4.2.1 from 4.1. I immediately found that my Google Apps accounts, which had been configured as vanilla IMAP in Mail.app and successfully synced with iPhones as such for the past couple of years, have now started to sync with my iPhone as gmail accounts (not plain IMAP) and have therefore completely lost the custom From addresses, as it seems the iPhone does not allow custom From addresses in gmail accounts. (The accounts list in iPhone mail now has little red gmail icons instead of the generic blue account icons.) It also seems that push no longer occurs, whereas it certainly used to.
    Deleting all of the mail accounts from the iPhone, power-cycling the iPhone and then freshly syncing mail accounts from iTunes results in the same outcome. It is as though the iPhone is looking at the IMAP/SMTP settings and inferring that since they end with .gmail.com that the accounts are of type gmail, regardless of the fact that I have said that they are plain old IMAP. (It is tempting to create a noddy domain with CNAMEs pointing at {imap,smtp}.gmail.com just to fool the iPhone however it would probably then complain about invalid SSL certificates.)
    I deleted one of the accounts and recreated it manually on the iPhone. This lets me create a plain IMAP account even with {imap,smtp}.gmail.com server names, however when editing the address field, the keyboard which appears is bizarre -- no comma key! (Yes, I searched the various modifier keys, etc.) So, I copied a comma into the clipboard, pasted it into the middle of two From addresses and was at least mildly relieved to find that the mail program did then let me choose between the addresses. However, given half a dozen Google Apps accounts and a plethora of custom From addresses, there is no way that I am going to create this stuff manually. Maybe I will give that CNAME trick a go after all...
    My iPad on 4.2 is fine, however I have a hunch that I have not since resynced mail accounts to it since updating. I'll certainly not be daring to do that now.

  • HELP! iPod no longer works after update

    I've been using my 20gb clickwheel ipod without incident for a year now, my last update had been iTunes 5 and hadn't updated my iPod recently either (why bother..it worked fine?).
    I wanted to purchase music from the iTunes music store, but it wouldn't let me unless I upgraded to iTunes 6 and updated my iPod. OK - so I did that- upgraded iTunes to 6.0.1 and updated tghe iPod using the latest updated dated 2005-10-12. Then the horror begins.
    On the first attempted synch post update - my iPod screen turned into a folder/exclamation point icon and stopped working. I tried resetting by holding down the center button and menu..it restarted and went back to the same folder/exclamation point icon. No luck.
    I've tried restoring it repeatedly and then synching my library back to the now clean and restored iPod and it stops synching at different points and crashes (after 31 songs - crash iTunes - iPod freezes on the "Do not disconnect" screen - strange clicking noise - restore - try again - 58 songs...same... restore ..again...45 songs.. you get the picture).
    It worked fine BEFORE the update except I couldn't purchase music. There has been NO change except installing the updates (it hasn't been jostled, dropped or anything). What can I do? The update killed my iPod?!!!! I am at my wits end!!!!!!
    -Tory

    OK..I've tried many things and my iPod is still hosed after updating. I upgraded my Mac to Tiger. I was told that the there might be some issues with synching using firewire with the new update - so I bought a USB cable and tried synching with that.
    I have the same issue as before. I can restore the iPod, but when I start synching my music from Itunes back to the blank, restored iPod - it synches up anywhere from 20-200 songs and then freezes (spinning beach ball on one song halfway synched for an hour - then force quit iTunes - and start all over again: restore, synch, crash).
    You know, I got burned by the 1st generation 5gb iPod battery issue, then the headphone jack stopped working on my 2nd generation, now my monochrome clickwheel iPod freaks out after Apple forces me to update so I can get my paid music back (it removed, yes, REMOVED my purchased songs because I was still using an older version of iTunes - when I updated to 6 I got them back - how Microsoft is THAT?).
    I am really losing my faith in Apple's ability to make a quality product.I am despondent. If anyone has any advice - I would be most grateful...

  • Airport no longer works after update.

    I occasionally use my imac as a base station to connect a laptop to the internet via airport. Since installing the recent security updates my laptop can no longer see a network (I also connect via a pda and this no longer works either).
    Airport indicates full signal strength but clearly there is no network.
    Tried deleting prefs but still wont work.

    Hi there BDAqua...
    I used this Pacifist software and followed instructions on this thread, rebooted, nothing seemed to change. Repaired permissions, nothing changed... I thought, oh well! Maybe I'll go to my local (Warsaw Poland) Apple repair centre.
    Sadly, I put my computer to sleep, about an hour later, opened it up with ethernet cable attached for internet, and noticed the wireless icon was now dark... lo and behold, clicked on it and my network was checked (this after having had my password "rejected" a million times before) and ... I carefully slipped the ethernet cable out of the socket... and I was still connected.
    So my wireless is working again, since doing all that stuff (back to prior firmware version) but for the life of me I don't know why, since it didn't seem to be fixed immediately after all that tinkering and rebooting! Any thoughts?? Did I actually do something that fixed it (must be, since I finally fooled around with it after almost 3 weeks of no wireless) or was this just random??
    This is far too un-Apple-ish, by the way! I was used to this with PCs, but first time I've ever had to get so technical with my Mac!

  • Control key no longer works after update.

    After updating Lion the control key no longer works. It beeps when pressing control and then a number key but nothing happens.
    This is left control key though. Right still works?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    Step 4
    ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
    Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
    You can then quit Terminal.

Maybe you are looking for
