Msg: "No compatible version of Java 1.7+ is available"

Hi,
I recently upgraded my mbp to Mavs. Most everything owrking fine, but trying to launch a certain software I get the message, ""No compatible version of Java 1.7+ is available."
I know nada about Java.
Typing 'java -version' into Terminal I get:
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
Does Mavs run 1.7?
Any info on what it means or suggestions on what to do?
best,
elmer

Thanks!
Just criously, how come I don't have a Java icon in System Preferences? I thought 10.7 and up are supposed to have it.

  • 10.6.8 Java not working. "No compatible version of Java 1.5  is available"

    Hey Guys
    Firstly I would like to thank you for clicking this question and would ask you please if you have a solution to my problem answer whatever you can.  Anyway lets get on with it.
    Recently I have been having a problem on my macbook.  I am running 10.6.8 as said in title.  Previously i was having an inactive plugin error going on and the software update said there were no newer versions available.  However when looking for a solution for this by clearing my java cache ect. i somehow ended up with this problem.  Whenever I try to run a java based application such as minecraft it says "Cannot launch "Minecraft" No compatible version of Java 1.5+ is avaiable." Also when from this menu i try to open Java Preferences it says "You can't use this version of the application Java Preferences with this version of Mac Os X.  You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later." I did not download java 1.7 or a different version of Java Preferences outside of the software update.  If you have any idea of what's going on please help me out.  I am struggling to get on with work and games without java even working. 
    Thanks for your help

    Are you up to date with the updates?
    Update for Snow Leopard users:
    Apple issued update 12 for Java for OS 10.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
    Note:  On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.
    If, after installing Java for OS X 2013-002 and the latest version of Java 7 from Oracle, you want to disable Java 7 and re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start functionality, follow these steps:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US
    Further update:
    Apple issued this Java related security update No. 13 on February 19:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5666
    and Update No. 14 on March 4:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5677
    The standard recommendation is for users to turn off Java except when they have to use it on known and trusted websites (like their bank). Javascript, which is unrelated despite the name, can be left on.

  • Java: "No compatible version of Java 1.5  is available."

    No matter what Java app/applet I try to open, it presents this error message with the option to either [Open Java Preferences] or [Quit]. Note that opening Java Preferences presents the exact same error message. I am running the latest versions of both Java and Snow Leopard and I have tried to force reinstall Java from Apple's website already. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    As noted, reinstall the OS and then the latest 10.6.8 and Java updates. BTW, AFAIK, Java 1.5 is no longer a part of the OS, Java 1.6 is the latest.

  • "No compatible version of Java available"

    Getting "no compatible version of java available" when trying to open Vuze.
    Is there no Java support for my Mac OS X 10.6.8. ? Thanks...

    if you cant find a Vuze with a java 6 compatibilty, then you will have to add Java 5 back into your 10.6.8.
    It is not supported by apple so its a bit tricky to do but can be done.  Instructions to do so are posted on the web.... google it.
    I had to do this also because of a java 5 based sofware gui that works with a very expensive rip system... would have cost me about 10k to upgrade inorder work with java 6. 
    When sotware becomes obsolete or unsupported, the manufacturers either don't think or don't care about the very expensive snowball effects that can occur.

  • What's the quickest version of Java & Java3D?

    I'm currently running Java 1.3.1_01 with Java3d 1.2.1_03DirectX added on.
    I was wondering if anyone knew what versions of Java and Java3d currently available are the fastest ones to use with each other. I've started having speed problems with it since running on Windows XP. Has anyone has any success on XP? I'd love to hear from you.
    Thanks.

    I'm running fine on XP (currently using the 1.3 Beta) and in fact this is the only windows platform I have had any success with the DirectX version of Java3D. If you want it to work for everyone you will want to use the OpenGL version instead - this gets more developer attention as it is also more cross-platform.

    Ops Center bundles the Java runtime in the installation but it will not install it if there's a newer version already installed.
    In your case, you only have 32 bits version installed which is newer, so Ops Center cannot continue as you cannot install a lower version of the 64 bits.
    This will tell you the 32 bits version:
    # pkgparam SUNWj7rt VERSION
    You're probably missing the SUNWj7rtx - which is the 64 bit version.
    This will probably give you an error (this will check the 64-bit java version):
    # pkgparam SUNWj7rtx VERSION
    To see if you have it installed:
    # pkginfo | grep SUNWj7rtx
    To resolve this, you should install the same version in 64 bits (SUNWj7rtx) and then try the Ops Center installation again.

  • What versions of Java are compatible with version 17 ESR

    Trying to identify which version of Java can be used with Firefox 17.0.4. Thanks

    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

  • How to avoid "The application requires an earlier version of Java. "?

    Hello, I deployed a Java applet built like this
    javac -source 1.4 -target 1.4 foobar.javaThe reason why I do it this way, is that many public libraries, have computers that only have Java 1.4 installed (and I found one case with 1.3 but decided not to go that far), and the users have no way to upgrade them. Hence if I want to deploy an app that can be used by most everybody, which is the whole idea of Java, then I have to use 1.4, no choice.
    OK, now I also have users who have the latest Vista and Firefox. On those computers, they see the following warning when my applet tries to run:
    "The application requires an earlier version of Java. Do you want to continue? Run or Cancel The required version of Java, 1.6.0-oem, is not the latest and may not contain the latest security ..."
    Of course, after seeing this kind of warning, I am losing a lot of those users immediately. (and by the way, I am built with 1.4, not 1.6-whatever)
    This message is widely reported on the Internet and the solution is always similar - some variation of "uninstall and reinstall the latest Java".
    This of course is a NON_STARTER. I cannot request my users, to reinstall Java. they won't bother. The whole idea of Java applets, again, is that I write an applet and the user sees it without having to tweak around with their computer.
    So I guess my question is: what can I do in my applet, to prevent these messages from happening on Vista, and at the same time be accessible to public lib computers with Java 1.4?
    And second rhetorical question: why can't Sun get their act together and deploy a platform where I can just write my code according to their specs and it will run according to their specs, without any warnings to scare away half of my users??? Please Sun tell me.

    Mark.
    [1.4 is EOL|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/] so I suggest you target 1.5.
    Youe contention that world should not change because a small proption of near-sighted troglodites insist on wearing frilly collars is complete bunkum. Get over it. Fast.
    If ever I get the chance, I shall tell Sun to continue doing exactly what they are doing with regards to developing the core Java language. Hire the best engineers; go forth and prosper; insist on backwards compatability; and never mind the bollocks (here's the sex pistols).
    ... or maybe one would prefer the MS .NET platform, where no version is at all backwards compatible with any previous one; is supported for just three years; with each CLR occupying a full third of ones modest laptop hard disk?
    Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

  • TS3489 Can the older version of Java be restored to the Mac OS X 10.4.11?  I have a new MacBook, but I like using my older desktop model for certain things.

    Although I have a new MacBook,  I also have an older desktop Mac OS X 10.4.11 (which I still use) that just recently "stated" the older Java plug-in has been removed and the newer version needs to be installed.  The Mac OS X 10.4.11 doe not appear to be compatible with the updated version of Java.   Prior to this week, my grandchildren have been able to play some online early childhood games with this computer and I have been able to watch the occasional YouTube video.  Can the older version of Java be restored to the Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    I'm not familiar enough with the Mac to know where your history is. Hopefully another Mac user can chime in.

  • New version of Java for Mac OS X version 10.5.8?

    Hi everybody.
    My homebanking tells me to get the latest version of Java to log on, but when I try searching for updates in the software update feature on my mac, it tells me that everything is up to date.
    What to do? Please help...
    Marie

    That means you have the latest version of Java compatible with Leopard. If you need to upgrade, then you need to install Snow Leopard or Lion.
    Snow Leopard General requirements ($29.00 from Apple's Online Store)
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Lion System Requirements ($30.00 from App Store)
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    You can erase your drive and install Lion directly (if you meet other requirements) by purchasing Apple's USB Lion Flash Drive installer - $69.00 - from your local Apple retailer.

  • Will 2D objects in java.awt.geom.* be Serializable in next version of Java?

    I am pretty frustrated about having to write my own Serializable classes. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but will the next version of Java supports Serializable 2D objects?
    Further, I was trying to write my own class to extend java.awt.geom.GeneralPath to become Serializable, but it's declared "final". What should I do? (I had no problems with Rectangle2D.Double, Line2D.Double, etc.)
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Selwyn

    Your code for serializing the state of the General path forgets two things:
    1. the winding rule
    2. the segments types!
    You could use a vector, but I just directly wrote to the file:
    private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream oos) throws IOException
    {     out.defaultWriteObject();
         //write state of transient GeneralPath _gp;
         out.writeInt(_gp.getWindingRule());
         float[] coord = new float[6];
         PathIterator i = _gp.getPathIterator(null);
         while(!i.isDone())
         {     int seg = i.currentSegment(coords);
              writeInt(seg);
              //switch on seg, writing correct # of floats from coords
              i.next();
         out.writeInt(-1);     //sentinel for end-of-data: SEG_LINETO etc are [0,4]
    private void readObject(ObjectInputStream in)
    throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
    {     in.defaultReadObject();
         int rule = in.readInt();
         _gp = new GeneralPath(rule);
         //etc...
    }3. I'm just winging this code -- haven't tested it

    I am trying to use a website that requires that my computer have the latest version of Java, which I have updated and installed Java 7 Update 51 (64-bit), however Firefox does not recognize that I even have Java on my computer. My computer is 64-bit
    When I run "Verify Java Version" it show nothing is installed... but it is, I know that for a fact because it shows in my "Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features".
    When I go back to the Java Download page, the following message is visible:
    "We have detected you may be viewing this page in a 32-bit browser. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers."
    My question is this:
    Is there a way to change my Firefox browser from 32-bit to 64-bit.... because it appears that this is way Java is not functioning properly?

    Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
    No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.
