Message re blocked plugin even though Java reinstalled

News reports stated a security problem with Java and recommended disabling.  I did this and then tried to enable it again and now cannot get it to work. 

A few weeks ago, Apple issued a security update for Java 7 which is used for Lion/Mountain Lion.  This security update actually disabled Java 7. So, if your a Lion/Mt Lion user, this explains your situation.
As an aside, I have Java 6 installed in my Snow Leopard iMac (which was not a part of the security update).
I have Java disabled in my computer for about a year, because Java, in general is prone to security breaches. I have had absolutely no problems surfing the web at all with Java disabled.  NOTE: I'm talking about Java, not Java SCRIPT.

  • Error with internet plug-in message and blocked plugin

    On my MacBook Air Im receiving a error with internet plug-in message and blocked plugin which will not allow video clips to play i.e. YouTube. How do I correct this?

    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • After importing received and set messages from Opera Mail, Thunderbird works fine but does not save sent messages to Sent folder, even though messages are sent

    I successfully imported messages from Opera Mail. Initially the Sent mailbox was not showing in Thunderbird. A quick removal and fresh installation solved that, but Thunderbird does not save the sent messages to the Sent box, where the imported Opera Mail messages are stored. Even though messages are not saved, they are sent correctly. The image attached shows the error message.

    Probably a name-confuse If you store sent on mailserver it has to have the right name. (subscribe)
    You could set up under Account settings / copies and folders (maps) Sent pointing to the right local folder.

    Both parties must be connected to wifi to use FaceTime (and you must have FaceTime turned on in Settings>Facetime).  If you're phone shows 3G at the top when it's on, you're not connect to wifi; you'll have to solve that problem first.

  • Can't see read messages in my inbox even though filter is not on.

    I can only see unread email messages in my inbox even though the quick filter IS NOT set to unread. When I read an unread message it is then unhighlighted, but when I close Thunderbird and go back in, only the unread messages show up and the read message disappears. This is not an issue in any other folder other than the Inbox.

    Thanks, it was View->Threads->All. I don't know how this was changed but I'm sure it was a problem between the keyboard and chair.

  • Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to install acrobat 9, i get a message invalid serial number, even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

    Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to re-install acrobat 9, i get a message "invalid serial number", even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

    there is a lot of info at that link.  by checking that link you'll see that serial number only works for the exact product for which it was purchased.
    ie, if you purchase acrobat 9 std, you need to use acrobat 9 std installation files, not acrobat 9 pro.

  • 2nd try. 1) firefox isn't blocking popups even though its set to 2) firefox doesn't recognize when I click "allow"

    Firefox has been allowing all sorts of pop-ups even though I've established the block in the content. This is just one of the pop-up sites: http://partners.livingsocial.com/cities/soon?ref=cpxpop
    When I go to a website I'm interested in a ribbon comes up at the top of the screen telling me to "allow". But when I click this it disappears for a second and then comes right back asking again. I have to check the X in order to get it to go away and that doesn't always work. I've even "allowed" certain sites on the options pages but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

    There may be a problem with malware if unrelated pop-ups are opening or you are redirected to unrequested websites.
    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

  • How do i get rid of a message notification, that shows even though i don't have any new messages?

    How do i get rid of an unread text message notification that is there even though i don't have any unread messages?

    The next step in user troubleshooting is restore from a backup. If that does not fix the problem, then a restore as a new device.
    Is this email, iMessage, or SMS?

  • When I get a message it only vibrates even though all sounds are on and when someone calls the sound works perfectly normal.

    when I get a message my iphone 4s only vibrates even though all sounds are on and when someone calls the sound works perfectly normal.

    Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt). If that doesn't work, perform a Restore via iTunes (from backup).

  • Recieving messages from this topic even though I am not Subscribed !

    Even though I am not subscribed to this topic, this is sending me 50 messages a day. How do I get rid of it?
    I have already checked my subscription settings.
    If anyone from apple is reading this, I need this resolved please.

    You may be subscribed in the larger category. I'm sure you have checked the "my subscriptions" to the right in this discussion forum. I'm new to this forum and just getting used to it, so I'm not sure if this will help. You would see a "binoculars" avatar next to your subscribed topics. Plus, in the "my subscriptions" page, check the two top choices. You may have "yes" checked for topics that you create AND for topics that you respond to. This will create susbscriptions of which you may not be aware. Again, just some ideas. I"m a "newbie." BF

  • How do I view captcha/image verification images/text boxes, since I can't even though java/javascript is enabled

    I've been using the latest version of FireFox since it was last updated. The captcha/image verification thing that I have been unable to view is one located on FanFiction.Net's login page under the query 'Are you human?'. Its become quite a bother and has been hindering myself from completing my daily routine.
    I have enabled my java/javascript in the tools>options as well as in the add-ons. I also have the latest version java/javascript, yet nothing happened. I have yet to find a solution in the online forums or blogs for my problem.
    I use Windows XP with its latest service pack (3).
    Even the version before the latest one has the same problem for me.

    I just came across a captcha on text.vzw.com that wouldn't work, even after trying all the various suggestions that I've come across.
    What finally worked for me (I'm using FireFox 6.0.2 on top of Windows XP Professional), was allowing popups on that site and allowing session cookies. I think it's the session cookie that finally did it. If you keep your security tight, you can remove the session cookie after you finish what you're doing.

  • Firewall blocks afp even though enabled!?

    This relates to a G5 running 10.4.11 and a mac pro running 10.5.5
    We are having a nightmare with file sharing between two machines. We can connect fine from the mac pro to the g5 via a ethernet router. We can't however connect from the g5 -we can however connect to the internet and pinging the mac pro works. We have tried connecting with the bonjour adress and the ip addres - no results. The personal file sharing tabs in system preferences on both machines are ticked. The firewall is set to allow essential services, and below are listed printer sharing, file sharing etc. However i opened the log and saw that a few afp connections had just been denied - turn the firewall off and we can connect to the macpro. Surely we should be able to connect on a local area network without the firewall blocking it? It also denies cupsd (we have a printer networked to the g5) but also less frequently nmbd, which seems weird as to my limited knowledge this is to do with windows file sharing - and we do not have a windows machine on the network.
    Weirdly I enabled the firewalls on both machines fairly recently after noticing they were off - however my client (i am a retoucher) has confirmed that filesharing was always like this - even when firewall off which I seem to recollect as correct. In theory if we have a router with firewall enabled do we need the firewall on on the macs?
    Please help I have reached the limit of my knowledge on this one! Many thanks

    On the MacPro > System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing, is the list of shared folders what you expect and for each shared folder, are the authorized users and permissions set up as you would expect? Clicking on the options button underneath that panel, is AFP checked, and if desired or necessary, SMB and/or FTP?
    In theory, I would say yes, if you have full faith in the personal integrity of all the local users on the LAN, and you believe them to be cautious enough that they won't have inadvertently downloaded and installed some sort of malware onto their machines, and you believe that your LAN is adequately secured (e.g., using WPA2 for the WLAN), then it is true, you should only need to maintain the firewall at the internet-facing router.

  • Firefox will not run a WebEx Meeting even though Java Script is Enabled! I am on 4.0, is this a beta version of FireFox? Are you going to Support Java anytime soon?

    I am getting the following error after going in and setting up a WebEx meeting. I will not be able to use FireFox unless you get the ability to enable Java:
    "Java Not Enabled
    Meeting Center cannot be installed because Java is disabled in your Web browser. Please enable Java in your browser, and then click Set Up again. For instructions on enabling Java, refer to your browser's online help.
    If Java cannot be enabled for any reason, you can download the manual installer and install it from your desktop by double-clicking the installer icon."
    I enabled Java, added WebEx to all secure sites and performed every possible check known to man. This is on your end FireFox.
    Do you have an ETA when 4.0 will support Java?

    I will not pretend to know any answers to your problems, but I do wonder if you realise Firefox did decide to produce and support an Extended Stability Release, unfortunately this is NOT going to be based on Firefox 3.6. but on Firefox 10.
