New Java Update

I just got the J2SE 5.0 Release 4 in my Software Update.
Can anybody tell me if they are having any problems with it on a Rev A iMac 20”.
iMac G5 20" BT AP Rev A / iMac G3 / in the closet Performa 6115CD / ll SE Mac OS X (10.4.6)

some websites that are especially Javascript heavy really bog my browser (Camino) down..... I have yet to see any improvement with any of these Java updates, but maybe this will be "The One."
Not likely to happen, Eric. " Java" and "Javascript" are two different entities - Really the only things they have in common is that they are both originally derived from "C" and have the name of a large Indonesian island in their name! . Installing a Java update has no effect on the implementation of Javascript in your browser. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javaprogramminglanguage if you want to know more about them.
Woodie, for what its worth I haven't experienced any problems on my "ALS" iMac G5, and I can't see any reason why you would be any more likely to on a "Rev A".
Cheers
Rod

I can't download the new java update for my macbook pro. I get a corrupt file message. Help!

"The new java Version 7 Update 13 is not exactly helpful in macbook pro.
try the version 11 or 12 they should work perfectly."
The OP is running 10.6.8 so Java 6 is his option at this point.
For the OP try here:

When you will release a new java update ? With the last it doesn't work correctly ( java 3d )

I use java 3d, but with the last update it doesn't works with any browser

"When you will release a new java update ?"
"We" don't release anything; we're not Apple, we're just users like you.
Use the feedback form to send queries to Apple.

Cs4 wont open on mavericks after installing new Java update

Cs4 (photoshop and illustrator) wont open on mavericks after installing new Java update.
I have tried installing both from the auto prompt (which came up as 'software update') as well as directly downloading from this link: Java for OS X 2014-001
either way when i try to open a cs4 program the icon simply bounces around for a minute then it comes up "program not responding"
anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance.

Hi Matthew,
First of all, you should be able to check in your HD/Library/Receipts folder to see what has been installed by looking for the .pkg of it.
re: "I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine"
You should not be offered updates that are not intended for your System through Software Update. Software Update, as far as I know, reads the .pkg files in your Receipts folder and will offer what you need from that. (I believe that is correct....perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong)
Did you Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update?
If not I would try running Repair Permissions (HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions).
I've found that with Security Updates that it is very important to Repair Permissions before and after updating.

Has it occurred to you that CS3 isn't compatible with Mavericks? Try using CS9 or 10.
Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

HT5367 Does anyone know if I can download this version of Java - for OS X 2012-005 - the new Java update is a total mess and it is preventing me from working... need to go back :-(

I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...

Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

I just downloaded the new Java update now Safari is slow and I'm getting the spinning beach ball of death.

Typing in Safari with the new Java update that I downloded today causes the spinning beach ball and slow loading of pages. As usual, Java is causing problems. Just once I would like to see things run without having to depend on Java.

24Golfer:
I think there's something more, because it keeps happening to me with the Finder where it says that it is not responding when I go to the Force Quit window.
Are you saying that the Finder is reported as not responding? If yes, try this:
Go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.finder.plist
Drag com.apple.finder.plist to desktop
Restart computer.
Monitor to see if anything changes, or Finder is still not responding.
Good luck.

There is a new Java update availible, however when i go to software update the download doesnt appear. someone please help!

I know that there is a new java update available because when i go to java's website it tells me to go apple-software update because i have a macbook. however, when i do so it tells me all my software is up to date. Any help is much appreciated.

Java support is changing. Currently Apple is working on Java 6 for Macs and regularly releasing updates. There is a developer preview available but this is not recommended for regular users as it may contain unexpected bugs. The latest version for regular users is java version "1.6.0_24".
Java 7 is currently under development, in a community effort led and co-ordinated by Oracle. This effort includes Java for Macs. Once this happens it might be that you'll no longer get Apple Mac Java updates from Apple, but instead you'll get them from the same Java website as Windows and Linux users. Whatever happens, Java will continue to be supported on Macs well into the future.

New Java Update w/Snow Leopard Firefox leads to broken javascript functionality?

I'm using Snow Leopard with the current Firefox... and after the new java update downloaded from Apple -- just today -- I'm finding that a site that I use regularly no longer works when a link for a java scripted small pop up informational window no longer pops open.
Clicking the link does nothing.

Question about the new JAVA Update J2SE 5.0 Release 3

Here is some info about this update:
Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 allows applications and applets developed for the J2SE 5.0 platform to run on Mac OS X v 10.4.2 and later.
This update does NOT CHANGE the DEFAULT VERSION of Java on your Mac from Java 1.4.2 to J2SE 5.0, though Java applications that require J2SE 5.0 may specifically request it. You can change the preferred Java version for applications and applets by using the new Java Preferences utility. This utility is installed by the J2SE 5.0 update at /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302412
HERE IS MY QUESTION---
This update makes me nervous cause I don't know much about Java. IF I change my default version to this new 5.0 will it mean that some of the older Java stuff on the web won't work? Should I just download this and ignore it? What should I do about this update?
Thanks for the help!

I too seem to be suffering issues with loading web pages after the 10.4.3/Java 5.0 update. I have reinstalled both updates, changed the java settings, emptied all the caches, and tried various combinations thereof, and I still have problems with web pages loaded. most of the problems appear to be related to rendering frames and images - In fact a couple of web sites I navigate to (upon looking at the source for the page" state "It appears your browser does not support frames." I think this is something broken in the latest release. Unfortunately, I cannot reinstall the latest copy of Safari, because the installer states "This version of Safari cannot be installed. It requires version 10.4.2." I guess I am in a pickle until Apple comes out with another update. BTW I have some pages that Safari will not render but IE running on the same box will. I also noticed that the problem propagated to other applications that use Java....For instance the Dashboard widget from google (Google Maps) no longer renders the tiled (framed?) map pieces...instead you get the ubiquitous "?" icon.

Why won't the new java update JDK 7 run on yahoo.games?

I have OS X 10.9 and am unable to run Yahoo.games with the new java JDK 7 update...can anyone help?

That's really up to Yahoo. Why are you posting on the 10.6 forum?

Safari will not run a signed applet on mac os x 10.5.7 with new Java update

Hi Everyone,
I've got a problem that hopefully you guys can help me solve. I have an applet that runs on windows, mac and linux that is signed by a verisign certificate my work has. The certificate is valid and everything works just fine on windows and linux, but after I upgraded our macs with the newest java update for mac (which gave macs Java 1.6.13), the applets won't work. When the applet is loaded in Safari or Firefox, it asks if I want to trust the certificate. When I tell it to trust it, Safari comes back with a message saying that it will not trust the code and will treat it as unsigned code.
For a long time the applet was built and signed on windows, but now it can be built and signed on windows and mac. Building and signing on either platform gives the same results and the mac signed applet works just fine on windows.
Has anyone else run across this problem? Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robbie

How did you tell it to fully trust it? I thought the dialog comes up asking the user whether to trust it.
I only ask because it's not practical to expect all users to dig around for settings to trust a particular certificate.They don't have to dig around. When a signed Applet is loaded, if the certificate chain contains a certificate not in the trust store then a dialogue box asks the user if he wants to run it anyway. This dialogue box also has check box to indicate the the user should always trust this certificate and checking this means the user will not be asked again.

I'm not able to install the new Java update

I have a MacPro 2.8 Intel Core Duo 8GB 500GB HD with Mac OS 10.6.8 installed and every time that I try to install the sugested update from my mchine I receive an error message as: " The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time the Software Update runs"
I already restarted more than three times and cleaned all system with Onyx but continue to receive the same message.
Is there anybody there with the same issue that I'm having? Any help?
Thank you in advance for any light on this issue!

Check out all software you have that uses Java, like software that that uses database connections (using JDBC).
Several people are reporting that the latest Java update (_29) breaks their critical software.
The solution for at least one was to re-install a "combo updater" from and earlier age (earlier than the _29 update) to re-instate the previous Java.

New Java Update - Necessary?

With the latest Java Update that shows up on Software Updater, there's no mention of whether it's "recommended for all users" or not. It just says: "This update does not replace the existing installation of J2SE 5.0 or change the default version of Java." I know nothing about Java; I just do mundane surfing. Should I install this update?

Hi bookmanjb
This update is not critical for web surfing. It is mainly for programs that require Java 6. I wouldn't bother downloading and installing it unless I came across a program that needs it.
Hope this helps

Safari locks up after new Java update

I along with others in my office have noticed that since the Java update (Sept. 19) , I believe it was 48 megs or so, that Safari will lock after surfing on the Web for 20 to 30 minutes.
After it locks, you cannot force quit. Eventually, OS X locks and you have to turn off the Mac and restart.
We've repaired disk permissions.
Anyone else experienced this problem or have ideas on how to correct?

Below is a message regarding some software that has improved the problem. Still happens, but much less now.
From Christopher Starkey, message # 19 under "Safari Freezes"
Hello. Had the same issues since the latest Java upgrade. The fix from apple will address it for sure, however, in the meantime check out www.macfixit.com and www.dshadow.com for commentary and a daemon utility called unlockupd that works great for now. I went to the Apple Store and talked to them there and they felt this temporary fix is better than doing anything on the terminal commands that are out there that may invalidate a later apple fix.
I had problems with both Mail and Safari freezes and the unlockupd worked great. Hope this helps.
