Mountain Lion: Java SE 6 cannot be found

Installed 10.8. Prompted to install Java SE 6 but the updater seems to time out and return a message that the software cannot be found.
Adobe CS5 products will not boot.
Decision to update the morning of a workday - poor judgement...
HELP!!!

rickleerd suggested the Macupdate link and thats the only thing that worked for me using 10.8.2. Otherwise I got a message saying the software doesn't exit (or something to that effect) when trying to do it driectly from the Java app in the Utilities folder.
I guess apple removed it from their software update que for 10.8. Either that or its a bug. To repeat, the Macupdate.com download fixed the issue straight away when the normal methods failed for me.

I have upgraded my OS into Mountain Lion and now I cannot see any net storage disks. may someone help me? thanks

Hi kiwirudy,
I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
Here are some steps I've found useful:
Close the Mac App Store.
make a copy of the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
This should open it in Property List Editor.
Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
Save the manifest.plist and close it.
Open the Mac App Store.
The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
It should continue from where it left off.
This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
Regards
Nic

Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
Java is vulnerable… Again?!

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server. It says check your user name and password are correct. Well they are, and were. Nothing has changed except the mac OS.
Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it? Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums. so far all have proved unsuccessful.
I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Mike

Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included. You likely have corrupted settings for your "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts. Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to. Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column. When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line. Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server". Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion. Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download. The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.

My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion. Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download. The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try. My app store ID is fine. What do I do?

Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

My Java Virtual Machine cannot be found?

You may need to download re-install Java. Click Support in the upper right of this page - Downloads - then type the word "Java" in the search field and look to see if there is a recent one for Snow Leopard. For example I located this one which may work for your system:

HT1338 The Java Runtime Environment cannot be found.

The Java Runtime Environment cannot be found. installing a dlink security camera

Okay, so I had the same problem with my dLink cameras after following the links on mydLink.com.
Apparently using the download of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from the Java site creates a problem. Given a choice, don't do it that way, but if you've already downloaded it and installed it (which I did on two of my three Macs) there's a solution.
If you haven't downloaded JRE as directed by dLink, then go to Spotlight and search for Java. You'll find Java Preferences. When you run it, you will be asked if you want to download JRE. Say yes and then make sure the enable applet box is checked. myDLink.com should run fine and you will see your camera or cameras. Works great.
If you already downloaded JRE from the Java site as directed by the DLink site, you have to do a little work to get rid to do the reinstall.
In file manager, go to the HD drive. Click on System, then Library, then Java. Delete the three folders from the Java folder. .
Then reinstalled MAC OSX You do this by restarting the system and holding the command key and the r key down as the computer restarts. You can let go of the keys when the gray apple appears. Work your way through and just reinstall the operating system. All of your files will be fine - just like installing the new version of OSX from the App Store. (Good idea to backup your computer first with Time Machine or whatever you use.)
After reinstalling, which takes about an hour, go to Spotlight and search for Java. You'll find Java Preferences. When you run it, you will be asked if you want to download JRE. Say yes and then make sure the enable applet box is checked.
Apple Care was great in helping me through the problem. The first technical support guy couldn't find the solution, so he turned me over to more senior person who figured out the fix.
good luck.

Installed mountain lion and developer tools no longer found

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and all appeared to go well. However, "make" is no longer found. I checked and the developer tools are at revision 4.4, so it appears to be a path issue. I noted that my Developer directory is now named Developer-old, so I suspect this was an intended change during the upgrade.
Any suggestions on how I restore the path? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Xcode?
Thanks

I've tried to but on the install for Airport Utility 6, after the download I get through the introduction then the license then I get "airport utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported" and that's it, no more options!?

Since I installed Mountain Lion operating system, I cannot print. I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer. I get a message when I try to update the software "Server not available The software update service is currently not available."

After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work. I know it is connected as it shows up, The message is:
"The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed. I unistalled the printer and reistalled. Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc. I never had to use the CD that came with the printer. My printer is: HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected. Can someone please help me to get this working,
Thank you,
Cheryl Paul

Need to have an external full setup of my mountain lion os as I cannot download the whole OS X everytime from recovery. Help me.

I have mountain lion installed on my macbook pro 15. But I need to install a new copy of MAC OS X which came preinstalled. But recovery downloads this software every time I do so. I need to have an original setup so I can use it as and when required without internet.

Save the Downloaded install files to an external drive and use Lion Disk Maker to create a Boot/Install USB stick from it.
You can also Clone your internal drive to an external and then use that Clone to Re-Clone the internal from it when needed.
You can also use a separate external drive to make a Time Machine Backup of a Fresh install of Lion or Mt Lion and then when needed use that separate TM backup to restore your system to Factory fresh state.
There are many way to have a Fresh install of OS X on your Mac without having to download the OS install files every time.

I installed Mountain Lion and now I cannot watch anything on flash player. It just says incompatable plug-in. I was instructed to download the latest version of flash play which I have done but it makes no difference what so ever.

As stated above. I need to upload pictures to my business website but now my upload box is just saying incompatable plug in. I wish I had never installed Lion as I was happy with my mac on its origional OS, I only installed it as my Java had disappeared and I was instructed on the java page that to upload the latest verion of Java I needed to upgrade to Lion. I am really not happy as I now cannot do the job on my mac that I bought the mac to do the job on. Please help. Is it possible to uninstall Lion without buggering up my mac and going back to my origional OS. I am on safari. Not even sure which version of Lion I have downloaded so I am sure you can tell I am not a teccy

Cant download mountain lion.. "osx cannot be installed you have s.m.a.r.t. errors"

my computer has never had a problem it is the newest imac and i download things everyday with no problems ever...
for some reason when i try to dl the new mountian lion it first says os x cannot be installed on mca hd.. and somthing about s.m.a.r.t errors..
so i went to disk utilties the top drive 500.11 gb wdc wd500... is in red and says this drive has a hardware problem that cant be repaired back up as much of the data as possible and replace the disk..

again i never had a problem with this computer and still dont have a problem with downloading anything except for this moutain lion..
also im on the latest osx 10.7.4

You should always be doing regular backups. Disks can fail at any time; so can other components; directories can get corrupted beyond repair, users can make mistakes, etc.
You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
If you don't like Time Machine, see Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for some alternatives.
Did you purchase AppleCare with your Mac? If so, the drive will be replaced at no charge.

I have a macbook pro, running mountain lion and iphone 4s, cannot sync audiobook

I cannot sync my audiobook from the laptop to the iphone. I have checked "Books" in Itunes, but the audiobook will not sync, and there is no place that I can find on the phone or computer where audiobooks can be selected. I have attempted to search for this, but none of the solutions worked. Has anyone solved this?
Thanks!
