Need confirmation about updates

I read today on the SANS website about vulnerabilities in practically all versions of Java, save for the most recent updates i.e. Update 6, Update 15, etc.
Reference http://isc.sans.org/newssummary.html
I'm researching which versions of Java are on the workstations in my workplace by using SMS, and I'm seeing that there are a LOT of computers with multiple versions of Java on them.
My question:
If a computer has mulitple versions of Java on it, would each version have to be brought up to the most recent update, or, would only the 'highest' version installed need to be updated in order to set Java security to the proper level?
The task looks pretty daunting and I'd love some qualified replies since I will have to sell the necessary man-hours <person-hours> to my boss, and provide a high degree of confidence that nothing 'Java dependent' will get broken in the process.
Thanks,
Lawson...

Each Java version is independent, and does not rely on,or interact with, any other version. Each version is independently runnable - any version that's installed can be executed. Depending on the Java application, an application may or may not run on more than one Java version.
Typically (in Windows) the last version installed becomes the default version, due to the copying of the file java.exe to the \windows\system32\ directory, which usually causes it to be found first when Windows searchs the system's path environment variable directory list.
There is no "update" of an existing version. New versions are installed alongside of the existing version(s). It's up to the user to uninstall a version. As noted, certain Java applications may require a specific version, and will not run on other versions, and removing older versions may cause problems.

    I think i have isolated the problem to themes.

  • I have just updated Java plugin but it still shows that it needs to be updated

    I have just updated Java(TM) platforn SE 7 U5 10.5.1.255 but it still says that it needs to be updated. Please help me with solving this issue. Thanks

    Hello,
    Please make sure where you are asking to be updated is a legitimate detector.
    To protect against potential Java vulnerabilities, Firefox now asks you to activate Java by default, for each website you visit that uses Java. When you see an "Activate Java" message box, simply click it to load the Java content normally.
    [[Image:Fx24-JavaActivate]]
    If there is no visible area to activate Java content in the page, click the plugin icon in the address bar. In the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now" to enable Java content temporarily.
    [[Image:Fx24-JavaAllowNow]]
    The next time you visit the site or any other that uses Java you will see this message again. If you want to always activate Java for a particular site, you can use the "Allow and Remember" option shown above.
    For more information about using Java in Firefox, see the articles [[How to allow Java on trusted sites]] and [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]].
    '''Important:''' After activating Java, you may see a security prompt, asking you to confirm that you want to run Java, or you may see an "Application Blocked" message, depending on the website and your security settings in the [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/jcp_security.xml#control%20panel Java Control Panel]. These messages come from Java itself, not from Firefox.
    For help with Java security prompts and "Application Blocked" messages, see the Java Help pages [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?] and [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml Why are Java applications blocked by your security settings with the latest Java?]

  • IMac Freezing Issue -Need Confirmation...

    Hey all,
    I need confirmation on whether or not zapping the PRAM seems to stop the iMac freezing issue. I have had 3 freezes within 10 minutes. I restarted after my last preparation to installing Leopard and the screen saver kicked in, which is the 'Cosmos' slide show and the graphics froze up. Screen went black and I left it for a couple of minutes. I came back to it, and had an image on the screen, but it was still locked up. So I restarted it. After boot up, I opened Activity monitor, and locked up again.
    So I zapped the PRAM on this 3rd restart and have not locked up since. I'd bet 100 to 1 that if I were to restart, without the PRAM reset, I would crash within 5 minutes of the start up.
    I really believe without a doubt these iMac reboot issues are related to specific EFI versions failing to initialize graphics correctly.
    Can anyone confirm this? If your iMac crashes, does Zapping the PRAM fix it?
    I'll be calling Executive relations contact and telling her the bad news.
    Okay, so first off, this isn't a solution to this iMac plague, but it should prevent the freezing and NO, it does not have to do with removing the ATI drivers.
    I was asked to install Leopard by Executive relations at Apple and told her that, as soon as I do, my iMac will freeze. So, I have been preparing the Leopard install and have crashed 3 times, in a row... at that point I said, Leopard is going to be a no go but I needed to use my iMac without it crashing. So, zapped the PRAM like I did before and immediately the graphic freezes went away.
    So

    Here is my experience, iMac 24:
    I bought in JR NY 2 weeks ago. I had to use it without internet connection (so no updates) and no freezes.
    Then I connected to internet and installed the available updates and start to get the freezes, even trying the PRAM reset.
    I tried to remove the extra memory, change memory slot but no lucky, video artifacts (like pixels not refreshing) when moving the mouse over the dock icons then freeze.
    I had no other softwares installed at all, only the OS applications.
    I formatted the HD and reinstalled the Tiger and didn't accepted any update, so I could use the imac for 2 days without a single freeze, but some black screens when screen saver starts.
    Since no freezes, I decided to update the OS again and after the first boot the freezes came back very fast, I could start a freeze in about 10 seconds.
    I tried the PRAM reset without sucess and my machine was ready to go to a tech person.
    Yesterday I updated the OS to 10.4.11 and did a PRAM reset after the update and tested the machine for 2 hours without a freeze or video artifacts, looks very stable, but I have to test it more.
    You guys tried the Tiger last update ?

  • True about updates through a view

    hi frds
    i just need the right answer for the choices mentioned below with explanation
    plz help me
    What is true about updates through a view?
    A. You cannot update a view with group functions.
    B. When you update a view group functions are automatically computed.
    C. When you update a view only the constraints on the underlying table will be in effect.
    D. When you update a view the constraints on the views always override the constraints on the underlying tables.

    And a very tricky only it is.
    Peter, you are correct that view constraints are not enforced in the sense of PKs and FKS, but there are two other view constraints that are enforced.
    SQL> CREATE TABLE t AS
      2  SELECT rownum id, object_name
      3  FROM all_objects
      4  WHERE rownum < 11;
    Table created.
    SQL> CREATE VIEW t_read AS
      2  SELECT * FROM t
      3  WITH READ ONLY;
    View created.
    SQL> CREATE VIEW t_check AS
      2  SELECT * FROM t
      3  WHERE mod(id,2) = 0
      4  WITH CHECK OPTION;
    View created.
    SQL> CREATE VIEW t_nocheck AS
      2  SELECT * FROM t
      3  WHERE MOD(id, 2) = 0;
    View created.
    SQL> INSERT INTO t_read VALUES (100, 'READ ONLY');
    INSERT INTO t_read VALUES (100, 'READ ONLY')
    ERROR at line 1:

    ORA-01402: view WITH CHECK OPTION where-clause violation
    SQL> UPDATE t_nocheck SET id = 201
      2  WHERE id = 2;
    1 row updated.The WITH READ ONLY constraint bars all changes to the view. The WITH CHECK OPTION stops any changes that would make the record invisible to the view. It is essentially a CHECK constraint on the view.

  • TS1702 Fitness HD for the iPad is no longer supported and it keeps saying that it needs to be updated in the badge on my app icon store. Apparently, it was bought by another company and now that company wants to charge me 2.99 to update my app. I

    About a year ago, I purchased FItness Hd for the iPad. Yesterday, it showed up in the app badge as needing to be updated. I clicked it and now it keeps telling me that this app is no longer available for purchase. When I look into the app store, the same app is now for sale 2.99 under a different company. I have tried to delete and reinstall the app thinking it will clear out the badge on the app icon stating that I have one update. This is frustrating. Somehow, this company was sold and my old app/software is causing a conflict with the App store. Help???

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my query is not so much about the sale of the company and the dream. I agree with you on that point. Good for them. My frustration is that this old app has now caused a glitch in my Apple App Store icon. I have a red badge with one update and it is referring to the old app that has been sold that needs to be updated. When I try to update the app it says no longer available for purchase. So I have since deleted that app in hopes that it would resolve the red badge issue. It has not. Somehow, that old app and the new app with the same name but by a different company has caused the glitch. I have reset all settings on my iPad, I have rebooted, I have deleted the app and still the red badge with the one update for the old app is there. Hmmm. . . I guess I need to take this into the Genius bar or wait for ios 7 in hopes that it will fix the glitch. Thanks again for your help.

  • An app I downloaded is no longer showing up on my screen. The app store shows thar it needs to be updated, but the update bottom is colored light, not dark.

    I downloaded Pandora a while back. My 12 year old nieces were playing with my iPad and now the Pandora icon is not on my screen. The app store shows that it needs to be updated, but I can't do it. What can it do to recover my Pandora program?

  • I need advise about setting up a server plan for a community.

    I have the following situation:
    The website has a community with, expected in the fist stage, 100,000 registered members. This community will be first launched in the Netherlands and later worldwide. A member has 25 MB of disk space to store photos or something. You can compare the community with for example hyves (a dutch community site similar to MySpace)
    Besides the community the site will also have a web shop and some information pages about the products that will be sold in the shop. The web shop will not have a large amount of product in store, however the expectation is that it will attract a large amount of customers.
    My question is; what do I need to keep this running smooth (quick page loads) and secure (data loss, back-up servers), and make it easy to expand the server park.
    URLs to the example sites:
    Hyves: www.hyves.nl
    MySpace: www.myspace.com

    >Can you clarify that, because I thought the Xserve RAID is the server for storage?
    The XServe RAID is not a 'server for storage'. It's just an array. In order to provide storage it needs to be connected, via Fiber Channel to a host computer. This is fine if you have one web server, but becomes tricky when you have multiple. unless you're doing some very fancy load balancing, you're likely to want all the content accessible to all web servers at the same time. To do that you typically implement a fiber channel SAN (every host connects to the XServe RAID via a fiber channel connection), or you implement a NAS host where one server is attached to the XServe RAID and it shares the content to other hosts via AFP, NFS or similar.
    This is fine for small installations but my point is that if you grow to hundreds of terabytes of storage, the XServe RAID might not be the best bet. It works well enough at tens of terabytes but there are other considerations when you get very large.
    For example, if you have one XServe host acting as an AFP or NFS 'head', what happens to your site when that server crashes? or needs a Software Update? Your network is going to go down. For high availability networks you might consider a dedicated NAS or SAN infrastructure that has higher redundancy, built-in failover and is designed for very large storage arrays. If you expect to grow there you might be better off starting off with that, rather than starting with an XServe RAID and migrating the data later on.
    Other than that, the rest of it is good for a start, but you need to consider redundancy (what do you do if a server crashes?) and scale (what do you do when you get more traffic than your web server can handle?).
    Typically these problems are solved via load balancers - appliances that sit in front of the application server and dynamically routes connections to whaever machine is best able to respond to the request. These boxes (at least the good ones) don't come cheap, but they're essential if you expect your site to grow past a single server setup.

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer.  See the end of this post for options.
    If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
    Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
    Options if you cannot upgrade:  iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there.  Backup your device directly to  iCloud over a wireless connection.  Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.

  • Can anyone help about updating error-Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi all,
    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, SP2.  In the past, I have had issues with error 1601 - Windows installer could not be accessed - when trying to update Acrobat 9 Pro.  I then uninstalled SP2, and everything updated in Acrobat just fine.  That was about 9 months ago.  since then, updates have been fine in Acrobat.  Now that 9.4.7 has arrived, I am getting the same error.  I have installed 9.4.6 and everthing seemed fine.  Can anyone direct me to getting this resolved?  I am not willing to uninstall SP2 - it just takes too long to reinstall.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kevin

    There are many reasons why "automatic" updates may not work
    The usual fix is to download and install the updates manually
    All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • My ipad is freezing up because it needs an icloud update. it says that tI need to have teh ipad plugged in, l,, lockerd and connected to wifi but I caocked and connected to wifi. I cannot connect to wifi because the ipad is frozen. How can I un freeze it?

    My ipad is freezing up because it needs an icloud update. It says that I need to have it plugged in to wifi. I can't connect to wifi because it's frozen. What should I do?

    If you have the 'this iPad hasn't been backed up' message then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date

    I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date, what do I do?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
    You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
    Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
    If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

    I have an app that appeared to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?

    Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
    If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
    Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app -  tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
    You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
