No option to Enable the Java applet plug-in and Web Start applications

How do I Enable the Java applet plug-in and Web Start applications
Their is no option under java preferences General Tab
The options i get their are
     Run appelts
          in their own proccess
          Within the browser process
          (Defaut most compatible)
Under the network tab im told
By default java applets and web start applications use network settings in the system network preferences. Only advanced users should modify these settings
Any ideas on why it is like this?

Mac OS 10.6.8
This happend once before when I was running 10.5.8 I fixed it but for the life of me i can't remember how i did it.

  • How can I enable java applet plug-in and Web Start applications via terminal?

    Since the last Java update to Snow Leopard, I have found that the system periodically disables the Java applet plug-in after a period of disuse.  I know I can go to /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and just click to re-enable Java.  But I want to write a script which will do this periodically for a couple hundred Mac users where I work. 
    My question is - how can I reenable the Java applet plug-in and web start applications via Terminal command?  Is this possible?  Is there a plist file that can be modified, etc.?
    Bob Reed

    It is my understanding that Apple's most recent Java update automatically disables Java after a certain period of time that it hasn't been used.  We don't want users to have to keep re-enabling it.  So we wanted to find a way to do this via script either run by a Casper JSS server or stored locally on each workstation.   With the guidance provided by Mark Jalbert above and some text from a script written by Rich Trouton, I was able to make a script (with some minor changes) and a launch agent to re-run the script upon login.  So the preference is always enabled.
    For your reference, the script content is:
    #!/bin/sh
    # DYNAMICALLY SET THE UUID FOR THE BYHOST FILE NAMING
    if [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` == "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
    MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c51-62 | awk {'print tolower()'}`
    elif [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` != "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
    MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-62`
    fi

  • Looking for a good Javascript to let me know if the "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is disabled or enabled within Java Preferences?

    If this code could work on Snow Leopard as well, that would be awesome. I have a code to tell if Java is enable or disabled on any web browser, but it does not detect if the Java Preferences "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is enabled or disabled. Just looking for a specific code to tell if this option is disabled or enabled.
    Thank you

    Launch Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app by double-clicking.
    EDIT; But I think you are confusing this with JavaScript which has nothing to do with it.

  • After Java patch 1.7.0_07 ENable applet plug-in and Web start checkbox is gone!

    Hello all,
    Using ML 10.8.1 and Safair 6.0
    After Java patch 1.7.0_07 ENable applet plug-in and Web start checkbox is gone! The check box to enable Safari to load Java pages is 100% gone, missing, just not there anymore.
    When I go to the Java test page it shows that I have Java 7 loaded. Has anyone else run into this problem or have a solution to enable true load loading in Safari and bring back the Enable applet plug-in and Web Start application check box in ML...
    Thanks

    I found out something very interesting. I noticed that another page would show up for less than have a second before the ML Java Preference would show up. I did a video recording of this and moved frame by frame. I show that the page / pane showing up had the following option:
                    Run applets:  in their own process
                                         within their browser process
    Both boxes for the two are unchecked.
    Then this page would disappear and nother would show up without the option / check box
    Enable applet plugin and Web Start applications

  • Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start functionality - Chrome

    I have recently upgraded my work MBA to OSX 10.9.1 and need to use the Chrome browser to access several work sites.  These work sites also need Java to run.  I have followed the below procedures:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
    and
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5559
    When I check Java version in 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)
    However, when I follow the instructions from the second link, the response to the second command (sudo mv /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/disabled) yields the following response:
    mv: rename /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/disabled/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin: Not a directory
    In http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572, it indicates that "On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle".  How do I get the Java SE 6 applet plug-in back to use in Chrome?
    Thanks.

    No thoughts on this?  The application of interest is IBM GERS.
    Additionally, I have to use Juniper Network Connect to access work network when travelling away from the office and it is not working either after Mavricks upgrade.

  • Java 7 Update 21 and Web Start Install Java Extension problem

    Hi,
    We've been running WebStart with Java 7 update 17 for several months. Late last month we updated to Java 7 update 21. Since this update, we're seeing 14 additional dialogs when the application is launched. Dialogs are Install Java Exception, do you want to install the following software? and then lists a jar file. I've verified that all JAR and JNLP files are signed with a trusted CA.
    Has anyone else seen this? Is there away to suppress these additional dialogs?
    Thanks,
    Terry

    I have just found that the use of uppercase/lowercase has changed in 7U21.
    We have been running with the codebase notation like this: codebase="http://SERVER:port/folder/file.jnlp" since Java 1.4.2
    In 7U21 I get a dialog pr. jar.
    If I change to: codebase="http://server:port/folder/file.jnlp " the dialogs are not shown.

  • Where can I set the window dimensions for the "Java Applet window"?

    Hi,
    When I run a form on the web, the Java Applet is loaded and the form appear in the window. But "base window" have gived dimensions indifferent what dimensions has the window of the form which I run.
    So, where can I set the dimensions of the "core window" which is behind the MDI window of the application?
    Thanks in advance,
    Eugen

    Eugen,
    in formsweb.cfg you will find parameters "width" and "height". You can set absolute values in pixels or "relative" in percent.
    width=800
    height=600
    or
    width=100%
    height=100%

  • So I can update my Oracle Java Applet Plug-in to Development Kit 7, Update 65, can you link me to the correct Oracle download page from your Plugin Update page?

    When I periodically accessed your Plugin Check and Updates web page in the past, I really appreciated you connecting me to the correct Plugin Updates vendor web page when I clicked on your red Update Now button. This time, however, your Java Applet Plug-in "Update Now" button linked me to the Oracle Java "7u65 Updates Release Notes" instead of the usual download page. It seems rather unexpected for me, or any other conscientious user for that matter, to search the appropriate "JDK 7U65" file download from the Oracle website.
    Thank you,

    This is getting way too complicated for normal peop.
    First: the "Update Plugin" does not work, it goes to a page with all sort of computer jargon but no "Update button" anywhere.
    Second: this forum jscher2000 gives a good solution, but I downloaded the incorrect java update, because my computer is 64 bit. how am I supposed to know my browser is what it refers to and that FF is 32 bit.....???$%^&*()??
    Third: some of those "critical update" software are not even on my computer....well at least I don't think it is, I search for "shockwave" and did not find it.
    I love Moz FF but the updating is starting to get out of control. why give us (computer idiot) an auto recommendation update not tailored to our computer? Perhaps in big letters at the top there should be an explanation "this is general suggestion these plugin needs updating, not to tailored with your computer, do your own research"
    and/or add info I need to know like the 32 bit thing, took me forever to download the 64bit update for JAVA and it was the wrong one.
    Now I am just afraid to update anything for FF because it is too darn confusing.

  • I can't install the java applet for google drive

    I want to upload complete maps into drive as a backup. But every time I want to install the Java applet a little yellow bar appears in drive wich says: ''The installation of the java applet has failed.''
    (I'm using a dutch version, so the quotations are just a free translation to english.)
    When I click on the add-on button next to the padlock and click on ''allow to continue'' the page appears to refresh, but then the add-on button just reappears next to the padlock and nothing has changed.
    I have enabled java through the padlock and at the permissions tab, but that didn't solve it.
    I have also followed these steps: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2424368, but these also didn't help.
    I have the latest versions of java and firefox installed, and I'm running windows 7.
    Please help

    This can be caused by blocking unsigned Java applets.
    What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?:

    There are other things that need your attention.
    Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
    # Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
    # Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
    You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.
    You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove all (older) version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and (re)install the latest Flash player.

  • How do I clear all of the java applets that have been downloaded?

    I migrated firefox and other applications to my new mac so that I would not to reenter all of my passwords saved by firefox. However, it appears that the java applets were also transfered and one of these applets does not work with the new intel mac. I was able to get the same applet to work in safari, and I was able to delete the applet from safari as well, but was unable to do so in firefox.
    So, how do I clear all of the previously downloaded applets, or even better, just the one I want to? Clearing all of the recent history didn't work.
    Here is the site:
    http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week

    I did that already, and it cleared the applets for Safari, but not for Firefox.

  • How do I enable the Java Accessibilty Stuff?

    Hi. I'm trying to make my application accessible via a screen reader to impaired users. Unfortunately, I'm not having any success whatsoever. If I didnt know Java had accessibility stuff built-in, I would assume that it was just not compatible at all with screen reader technology.
    How do I enable the Java accessibility stuff so that UI components are accessible to a screen reader; they can be iterated over and get sensible names and/or descriptions of them?
    I wrote a simple application, attached below, which just makes a demo UI from which I can start learning the basics of the accessibility stuff. Out of the box, the UI is completely opaque to a screen reader (I'm using the VoiceOver utility bundled with Mac OS X, which does ok with normal applications).
    I tried setting things focusable to no avail, voice over cant cycle through the UI component using the normal keyboard short cuts, and nothing is spoken when I tab between components, despite some things having natural labels, like a menu, and some things, like the button, where i've set the accessible name and description on the accessible context of the component.
    Obviously, I'm doing something wrong or I just don't understand how the accessibility stuff works.
    Could someone please shed some light on this so that I can make my application accessible to a screen reader?
    Thanks.
