OS X Program Won't Run Without Java 6

Have a completely fine install of Java 8 (tested and whatnot) however I have a Mac OS program that requires Java. (1.1 or later) Of course, I should have realized that Apple would not let it go easily (ha ha) and is giving me the error message "To open "Program" you need to install the Legacy Java SE 6 runtime". I refuse to downgrade to an older, painful (and not completely working) version of Java just because it won't recognize I have Java 8. This program is compatible with Java 8, by the way. Is there a way to force the program to run on Java 8? This error message isn't the program's, it's an OS X one, which makes me think I just need to bypass it to get the program running. Thanks.

Okay, I'm not a Genius, but, I'm smarter than the one I spoke to at the Apple Store.They told me that they couldn't help me with Legacy Java SE6 Runtime. Adobe has the worst support in the industry so don't call them.
If you have a Time Machine backup, go to one that pre dates your install of Yosemite. Go to the System/Library/Java and drag copy the folder to your internal hard disk. Now you will need the Administrator password. Once copied, drag the old Java folder into your System/Library folder and when asked to replace, click OK. Restart your Mac and you will have use of your software that requires Legacy Java SE6 Runtime.
I'm totally done with Apple since they are trying to box me into a corner. Have fun kids.

My accounts program won't run without legacy Java SE6 runtime since I upgraded to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it

My "Solar" accounts program won't run without "legacy Java SE6 runtime" since I upgraded my iMac desktop to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it, nothing happens when you click on the link to apple support

Illustrator CS6 won't run without Java SE 6 runtime?

I've seen a few threads relating to this but none seem to solve the issue for me. Having updated my iMac and running Yosemite all my CS6 apps run fine apart from Illustrator, where I'm getting the dreaded install legacy Java SE 6 message. I know I can install Java but I REALLY would rather not install such an outdated piece of software that I don't need and that has more than a few security issues if there is any alternative. I tried removing some files from the file formats folder within plugins which some have suggested gets around the Java requirement but without success. Any help would be much appreciated.

This is not a Yosemite issue at all.... its merely a Illustrator requiring Java to run issue.... that's the case regardless of the version of OS. I would just be interested to know if CC illustrator relies on Java to run as well? The gentle nudge comment refers to the fact that Adobe still sell CS6 as the "owned" software option and as such its still current if you wish to choose that route.... If its possible I would have thought it would be helpful to update illustrator so that it is no longer reliant on such an outdated 3-party bit of software to run? But maybe its not a simple fix or Adobe aren't particularly interested in updating it.

Program won't run

I am currently reading "Sam's teach yourself Java 2 in 21 days", and I followed the instructions for programming the "VolcanoApplication" (the files can be found here http://www.cadenhead.org/book/java-21-days/chapter.php/1 and are called VolcanoRobot and VolcanoApplication). I compiled the two programs, but VolcanoApplication won't run. I get an error message saying "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: volcanoapplication/class"

I copied the two files, compiled them and had no problem running VolcanoApplication. To try to narrow down your problem, do the following:
1. Check the names of both files to make sure that they are called VolcanoApplication.java and VolcanoRobot.java.
Make sure there are no typos because the file name must exactly match the class name. This includes case.
2. Before trying to recompile, first erase the old .class files. Go to the directory that contains the files
and issue the command: "javac VolcanoApplication.java". This should compile both files.
The javac command should complete with no errors. Now check your directory, you should see
VolcanoApplication.class and VolcanoRobot.class in your directory.
3. From the same directory, issue the command "java VolcanoApplication". Again, make sure there are no typos.
It should execute the program and print out some stuff.

Running without java?

Hi.
Just a quick question...is it possible to generate an .exe file so that a program written in Java can be run without download the Java engine?
I know that it would not be platform independent anylonger, but for those who can't install Java on their machines, I wonder if there is a way to run programs written in Java anyway.
thx for help..

There are a number of ways - either slow , large, version-limited, expensive, etc.
Search the forums for threads, there are hundreds.

Programs won't run after update to 10.6.7

Hi
I have just inherited an early 2008 iMac following my Dad's death a few months ago. So I have no Mac experience at all. On receiving it, I booted it up and a list of recommended software updates appeared which I ran, and by all accounts successfully installed. One of them was an update to 10.6.7
Previous to the update I could access the installed programs. Now I can access barely any of them.
Error message reads:
Application name cannot open.
Check with the developer to ensure this version of application name works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS.
There aren't any further updates needed. Every time I check, I'm advised everything is uptodate. So last night I reinstalled iTunes, downloading the latest version. That won't run. Same error message.
I'm unsure what to do now. I don't have any disks etc at the moment as Mum is still trying to locate them (they had more than one property and this has come out of one that has been boxed up and put onto the market).

This is a typical error report. The section I have bolded out seems to be common in all the errors.

I have Dell XPS (windows 8.1): error: "this program won't run on this pc"

Greetings, I just purchased a Dell XPS with Windows 8.1. I have tried to load Irfanview, Kompozer, FileZilla, and other software that I have run, most on XP and even on MacOS, but the downloaded software will not run or install on my new Windowx 8.1. This
is terribly frustrating! I also don't understand why there is no "start" button that leads you to the software you have installed.
Please help. Thank you.

Press the Windows key on your keyboard.

Diasend Uploader program won't run?

Hi there, I have an HP Touchsmart 610-1010a, I am trying to run a program called Diasend uploader?
It will download install and run fine on other peoples PCs but not mine.
It is a 32 bit program so this may be part of the problem as I am running 64 Bit??
As soon as I try to open the program it says: the program has stopped working and then nothing happens.
I have been in touch with the support team for Diasend to no avail.
When I try to install it seems to go fine until the part of the install in this attachment shown in slide 13, I never see this part it just shows the last part , slide 14??
https://diasend.zendesk.com/attachments/token/intoyvodr3em8wx/?name=Diasend+-+Uploader+installation....
Can anyone help please??

I sorta feel good that I'm not the only one baffled. I would agree with his assessment that something is blocking the install on the machine from being completed. As to what it could be I'm not really sure, usually when something isn't installing properly it's due to a firewall or antivirus program halting the installation. Since you turned off Norton and attempted an installation that should rule that out, unless, Norton still runs even when turned off. I have seen anti virus programs continue to run when disabled to "protect" the end user.
I'd recommend booting the computer into safe mode (see my previous link) and attempting to install the program that way. This should keep Norton from even starting up on the program so it would guarantee that it's not the issue.

Compiled program won't run

Hey everyone, I'm trying to compile a program that I wrote, but I cannot get it to come up. In command prompt, I set the directory to where I have the program saved:
C:\Java
I already have the path set to:
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin
When I compile the program (javac MyProgram.java), it will compile without an error, but when I go to run it (MyProgram.java), it will open the code from Notepad.
I hope this makes sense. This has not been a problem up until this week, so I don't know what could've changed in my settings. Everything looks the same as it has always been. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

After Yosemite install Symantec AV LiveUpdate won't run citing Java RTE not found error even after install of Java 8 Update 25

I just installed Yosemite. When I attempted to run Symantec Anti-Virus LiveUpdate (which worked fine under Mavericks) I got an error message stating "LiveUpdate was cancelled because Java Runtime was not found. Please run LiveUpdate once Java has been installed. For your convenience we will try to install Java using Apple Software Update." Accordingly, I went to the Java website, downloaded and installed Java 8 Update 25. However, I keep getting the same error message when I attempt to run LiveUpdate. What must I do to get this AV software to work with Yosemite?

Get rid of Symantec. You don't need it, or Java for that matter, which comprises a potential vulnerability of its own. Get rid of it too.

New HD won't run without old one...

hello.
After lots of help from my educated peers on this discussion site, i installed a 2nd hard drive into my G5 quad power pc.
I then used carbon copy cloner to clone the old drive onto the new one(because i recently moved and forgot my install disk on the west coast), and when i re-booted, i was able to boot from the old HD (which still barely works), and then i was able to select the new HD in system prefs - startup disk, and then re-booted agian, and it would boot up on the new HD, and work great.
And every time after that, it would always boot from the new HD, and work fine.
Except that the old HD is still in the other bay, apparently working in conjunction with the new one.
I know this because I cannot get the new HD to boot if it's the only HD in the machine. I tried both HD bays.
I even tried to boot up while holding down the Option key, but the HD won't show up at all. Tried both HD bays.
Any thoughts?
I'm having my friend ship my my install disk, but if carbon copy cloner is as good as it says, i shouldn't have to do a clean install and have to go through the hassle of doing a full backup, and restoring....etc..etc..etc.
Any thoughts?
i tried every combination of HD bays with both HDs.
The new one just won't work by itself.
And, the old HD needs to be in the top(primary bay), or else nothing works.
thanks!

Ya know, today, my Mail program is acting very funky.
I launch it, and I get the spinning color wheel immediately, and then it quits itself.
Also, when I reboot, i see a quick flash of weird graphics on the monitor for a split second.
Doesn't look right.
Oh, and now, I'm finding out that the machine randomly reboots from either HD.
I just tried to reboot, and it tried to boot from the old HD in the other bay. ( i know this because the old HD takes 5 minutes to boot, and the internal fans run at full speed during the whole boot up process ).
Now, i tried to reboot again, and it booted fine from the new HD>
Weird.
maybe i'll try super duper.
Problem is that the old drive took 2 full days to clone when i used CCC.
The old HD is so sluggish that it is barely usable.
Hopefully i can get a full clone out of it.
Regardless, i'm just going to have to do a clean install to feel comfortable about this machine at this point.

My program won't run.

i'm brand new to java and i'm working on the examples to learn the language. i followed all the instructions from this page www.netbeans.org/kb/articles/gui-functionality.html. it complies just fine and when i click run it doesn't give me any errors, it just doesn't run.
i'm using NetBeans IDE 5.5 with JDK 6.0 Bundle.

My Compiled Program Won't Run

I am relatively new to Java. I am having a problem with a very simple program I decided would be my first. I am able to compile it but it will not run. Here is the code.
//A Very Simple Example
class ExampleProgram {
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("I'm a Simple Program");
It will compile so that I may recieve my .class file but when I use DOS to open it. DOS writes "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Example Program."
I'm sure this is a runtime error but besides that I have not found anything that will help me fix the problem. I would be greatful for any help.

Is that the exact error?
Did you run it as
java Example Program
(that's what it looks like)
try:
java ExampleProgram

If not, it relates to the 'classpath' issue, well documented, and asked at least 1000 times prior in this forum (see the search engine on the top right corner?)

I run OSX10.6.8. Just dwnlded FF8.1 and everytime I go to open it I am asked about the disk image. But if I delete the dmg, the program won't run.

I just downloaded the 8.1 version. It was a 30+mb file. Previously I ran 4.0. So I drag the new Firefox icon into the Apps folder. It does its merge thing with the old version. Problem is when I click to open FF now, it always throws up this window asking me about the disk image of what I just downloaded. I even tried restarting the computer--but the same message pops up. I checked on your website and it says that I need to "eject" the disk image (i.e. I'm guessing that means the 30+ mb file I just down loaded), so since I don't have an eject option that I can find (except for external harddrives and cd/dvd), I just drug it into the trash. I go to empty the trash and I get a message that that dmg file is "in use" even though FF is completely shut down. So again I'm guessing that means that even though I already merged that dmg file with the old 4.0 version file, if I dump the update file it seems that it's going to mess up the actual revised program file still remaining. I just want to be able to click on the icon in my dock like I've always done and have FF open. I don't want to keep being asked about disk image stuff. Somehow this feels like an easy resolution, but I just can't seem to put my finger on how to resolve it. Thanks for you help.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.
