Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Will Photoshop CS5 run on my MacBook Pro

    Will it run om my Core Duo ?
    Thanks...

    Intel Core Duo - 32 bit , only 32 bit version of Photoshop will be available
    Intel Core 2 Duo - 64 bit - Both 32 bit and 64 bit options to run Photoshop are available

  • How will Adobe Premiere run on Apple MacBook Pro MC373LL/A ?

    The specs are listed at: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i7-2.66-aluminum- 15-mid-2010-unibody-specs.html
    Can anyone confirm that Adobe Premiere will run on this computer, and if there are any performance problems?

    It depends on what you are doing with it.  With only a dual core processor, if it only has the default 4 GB of RAM, a lousy 5400rpm drive, and an older nVidia GPU with only 512 MB of video RAM (no GPU Hardware MPE acceleration) i doubt if you would be happy with the performance.  Maybe Premiere Elements might work.

  • Mail 6.2 will no longer open on my macbook pro after migrating my old computer from a time machine back up

    Hi,

    Thanks

    Eek, sorry for the multiple posting, I keep trying new things and needing to report back. SO, in those accounts that I thought I'd "fixed," I tried going back in and changing the settings back to the way I like them, i.e. leaving the messages on the server for a week (because sometimes I like to see messags on my iphone too) and as soon as I did that, it started downloading old messages before, i.e. back to the same problem.
    Meaning, there's no workaround for the account I share with my business partner, because the only way I've "fixed" it on my personal accounts is to have mail removed from the server immediately, which is not possible on the accounts I share. (And is kind of a bummer for my personal accounts, too, given that I like to see mail on my iphone too).
    Sorry for info overload, just trying to be helpful and cover all the bases. :-)

  • Toshiba external drives won't show up at all on my computer (Summer 2010 MacBook Pro) since I updated it to Mavericks.

    Ever since I updated my laptop to Mavericks, my toshiba drives each do a different thing when I plug them in. One of them, which is formatted for mac, works just fine. The second one, formatted for windows doesn't mount, but shows up in the disk utilities. It worked perfectly fine on Snow Leopard, and seems to work on any other computer running Mavericks. I bought a third drive to transfer all the contents and reformat the second drive for mac, but the third drive doesn't show up on my laptop or my home computer (iMac), which is running Snow Leopard.
    Anybody have any ideas or solutions as to what's going on?

  • Screen blanked out on 2008 MacBook Pro since 10.6.8 / Java update.

    Would appreciate hearing if anyone has had this experience. Could it be the end is nigh!? Regards from Ireland. Sunnbike.

    Hello:
    First, permission repair is, IMHO, a waste of time.  In the old days, we whispered that like some sort of incantation.  I have not seen a permission problem in years.  The messages, incidentally, are not a concern.  Apple has gotten smart with OS X 10.7 and eliminated them.
    If you were having problems, running repair DISK from your software install DVD is a good idea.
    What updates were to be installed?  In any event, trash a preference file (com.apple.softwareupdate.plist) and restart.

  • HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi.  It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

    What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
    It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad.  When it was on the desktop It worked fine.  I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
    The error message says  The document "   .avi" could not be opened.
    A required codec is not available.

    Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and  Perian (AVI and FLV support). 

  • I need to uninstall Captivate update 7.0.1 becuase my quizzes will no longer run on any platform bro

    I need to uninstall Captivate update 7.0.1 becuase my quizzes will no longer run on any platform browser.
    The reason they do not run is becuase LMS API will not load the quiz. because of a java script error (see image below)
    The new update 7.0.1 has drastically changed the following files:
    imsmanifest.xml
    index_SCORM.html
    SCORM_utilities.js
    Utilities.js
    The new script just will not run on Firefox 26
    Internet Explorer 10 and 11
    Chrome 31.0.1650.63m
    Safari 5.1.7
    How do I uninstall this update and get back to the earlier version or is there something that will fix this?
    Claire

    you would uninstall your current version and then reinstall the previous version, but there may be a better way to handle that error.

  • After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC.  I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

    After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7).  I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034.  Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest".  I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted.  The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

  • My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, runs fine under Lion.

    My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, even though it was originally written for Snow Leopard.  It runs fine on my Dev machine under Lion. But when I test it on my Snow Leopard Mac Mini the app starts but the window does not appear. Going to file, new window does nothing. My depolyment target is set to 10.6. Is there something I did to make my app lose Snow Leopard compatiblty?

    Does your application use features only available in Lion?  Are you getting any console logs?

  • Will aperture 4 work in my macbook pro running 10.6.8?

    Will Aperture 4 work in my Macbook Pro? I've got 10.6.8? thanks

    There is no Aperture 4 at this time.
    Aperture 3.5.1 requires OS X 10.9 or higher, so one would figure that any future versions of Aperture (3.5.2 or higher) would require 10.9.x at minimum, as well.
