Problem loading Java for Mac OS 10.5 Update 4.10 on iMac

Software update has downloaded this update, but when it tries to install it, I get a message that ';it can't be installed because an error occurred during installation'.
I have the latest 10.5.7 upgrade installed. The only other relevant factor I can think of is that I use Diskwarrior regularly.
Can anyone suggest how to overcome the installation problem? Is it vital? Can I safely ignore this?

I saw the same problem, which only went away after rebooting.
This update is supposed to fix a serious security vulnerability in Java on the Mac.
On the other hand it seems to cause some problems - for me it removed the Jar Bundler from the developer tools, and caused all my bundled Java apps to use 64-bit Java 1.6, instead of the default set for my system.

The Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 10 removed the Java plugin from Firefox 5.0. How do I re-install it?

I've just installed Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 10 and can no longer run Java Applets from Firefox 5.0

CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the

Hi, Colin,
My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
(Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
To start, try the following:
1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
2. Open Java Preferences again
3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
Plugin and Applications)
4. Open Terminal
5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
6. Try to start CF again
This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
and easier).
If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
/Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
necessary!
Best,

ColdFusion 8 Fails to start after update Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 4

I have been using ColdFusion on a Mac for years. Now CF fails to start after I updated Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4. I usually start by typing in the terminal window sudo /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin/ColdFusion start.
There is a crash report but I don't know how to read it. See attached.
Please help, I need this working for my job.
Thanks...Colin

Please help me to install update "software Java for Mac OS 10.5 Update 2"

Several attempts failed. All applications were closed during these attempts. The upload froze each time in about the middle of the configuration process. No problems encountered when I installed this software on my MacBook 10.5.5.

When using Software Update from the Apple menu, the update is downloaded and automatically begins installation. Particularly when the update is large (the Java update is more than 136 MB), and if your internet connection is relatively slow (modem or DSL), the download can get corrupted by a glitch in the internet transmission. That is why it is suggested that you download the file manually and install it locally.
To download it manually, go to:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
find the update you want and download it from there.
Additionally, after I download the .dmg file with the update package in it, I open Disk Utility and do a Repair Disk on the .dmg disk image. Because it is a relatively small disk check, compared to a hard drive, the diagnostic only takes a few seconds and you can be reasonably assured the download was not corrupted.
Before installing any system updates, and as an important general practice, you should have a bootable backup handy.

Java for Mac OS 10.5 Update 1 1.0

I've just reinstalled my OS - and all seems to be working fine. I just ran the updates to get caught up with the Apple releases. However, this one install is failing and I've no idea why or how to troubleshoot - any ideas?
Cheers.

Resolved. For whatever reason my hardware firewall's anti-virus kicked in and decided this was a corrupt file. However, I by-passed and it seems to have installed without issue - so fingers crossed all is fine. Haven't had issue with any other Apple updates so it was a bit unexpected that this one would get blocked.

Installing "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 6" (1.0) causing problems

Hi,
I installed the "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 6" (1.0)" yesterday evening and it caused problems:
- network
- date/time screwed up
- Time Machine crashed
My environment is a MacBook Pro, running 10.5.8, all latest patches applied. During the install all other applications were closed (my once in three months cleanup of the desktop , Time Machine was not running although it might have kicked in during the download, I left it alone for install and the necessary reboot. I didn't hook it up to the power, had 82% battery left, afterwards (after all repairs) still 76%, so my guess is that is not the root cause, although I did get the power source warning and waved it away during the installs.
Looking back into the logfiles and using some gut-feeling I do think somehow the date/time seeting was screwed up and caused all other problems. The date was reset to the famous Unix starttime, Jan 1, 1970. At first I didn't notice, only after my network (Airport Extreme based) asked me WPA password and then complained about the date/time I noticed something weird.
After resetting date/time, verifying the disk for problems (none found), re-entering the WPA password, network ran again, had to re-connect with the Time Capsule and check the sparse backup-volume there before I got everything up-and-running again.
Not a very big deal, but annoying, and certainly something wrong in the update here.
Anyone any explains ?
Regards,
Wim.

Sorry if I missed it...have you scoured logs for anything that might shed light on success/fail during the install?

Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5 - Problems

After the restart I got the following error message:-
*"The installer could not validate the contents of the 'JavaForMacOSX10.5Update5' package. Contact software manufacturer for assistance."*
Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do about this ?

Thanks Topher,
After a few stops and starts in the downloading process, I finally downloaded it and it has installed without trouble.
Once again, thanks for your help.

Java broken in Firefox after Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3

After having updated my mac this morning with the latest Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3, Java in Firefox is no longer working. When I open a site that contains a java applet (like javatester.org) I get the following output in the Console, and then Firefox hangs.
21.10.10 11:44:15 [0x0-0x33033].org.mozilla.firefox[649] ### MRJPlugin: getPluginBundle() here. ###

Any ideas??

Problem solved!
For some reason I had an additional "Java" Folder (/Library/Java) with a different Java sdk. After removing this folder and (just to be sure) replacing it with a symlink to /System/Library/Java everyting works again.

Can't print wirelessly since Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4

I have an HP Officejet J4680 All-in-One, and have been printing wirelessly from my Macintosh (OS 10.5.7) since I purchased the printer in December 2008. However, after I installed the Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4, I suddenly lost the ability to print wirelessly. I've spent hours on my own and on the phone with HP trying to figure this out, with no success. When I uninstall and reinstall the printer, I can get to the point in the HP Setup Assistant in which the network configuration has been successfully downloaded to the printer (I see an IP address, Subnet Mask, etc.), but then I get an error message of "Device Not Reachable . . . please make sure that your Mac has access to the network and retry." My Mac does have access to the network because I can get on the internet wirelessly.
I've tried entering the IP address manually, etc.--but nothing has worked. It's as if the printer is on the network, and the computer is on the same network, but they somehow can't talk to each other. Anyone else notice this problem, and how do I solve it?? Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello Laura C. I haven't noticed any problems with my wireless connections to my Canon printers, at home or at work, and I have the Update 4 installed. I also cannot think how this update would have impacted your ability to connect to the printer, except maybe due to a reliance of the HP software using Java to operate. But this should not have stopped your existing connection from working, only a new connection...
Apologies in advance if you have already been through the following, but if you were successful in entering an IP address manually, I would then check that you can get a response from the printer. The best tool to use is Ping. Open Applications > Utilities > Network Utility. Here you will see the Ping tab, as well as several other IP tools.
Before you select Ping, select Info (it probably has defaulted to this). This pane shows you the current IP address settings for your Mac. Since you are using wireless, change the drop menu from en0 (which is Ethernet) to en1 (wireless). This will show your current IP address set in the Mac. Make a note of this.
Now select the Ping tab and enter the IP address of the HP. Change the number of pings to 4 and press the Ping button. If the addresses are correct and the network infrastructure working you should get a response. If you get something like " 4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss", then that would explain the unreachable message.
The biggest cause of this symptom is subnetting. To explain further, an IP address consists of two parts, the subnet and network address. The subnet is determined by the subnet mask. If you have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the your subnet is the first three sets of numbers in your IP address and the network address is the last number. For example, an IP address of 10.0.1.10 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has a subnet of 10.0.1 and a network address of 10. For devices to communicate on a local network, they typically need to have the same subnet and a different network address. Can you confirm the subnets for the Mac and printer are the same and the network addresses are different.
If you get responses to the Pings, which indicates the IP addressing is okay, the other services like firewalls can stop some printer utilities from working correctly. Have you checked your System Preferences > Security > Firewall setting is set to allow all incoming connections?

Blocked by Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 3

Hi!
My Java application which uses network connections to external hosts now fails with errors like these:
connect failed: Connection refused
write1 failed: Broken pipe
write2 failed: Broken pipe
Done.
As this worked just fine prior to Apple's "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 3" I think this update is the reason for my problems.
Can anyone explain what I need to add to my code to overcome these problems, please?
Alternatively a URL to such a tutorial would be welcome.
It seems the additional security of Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 3 means I need to add "something" to my working code (which, incidentally, still runs unchanged on an un-patched Mac)

Deary me
Embarrassingly, +mea culpa+
Amazing what doing it over with a reboot between the OS X patch and Java update can do with a final reboot - anyway, that seems to have fixed it.

Why can't I print pdfs since installing Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 12?

Two days ago I installed the software update 12 for Java for Mac OS X 10.6 now pdfs I try to print come out blank or with data, only the company's logo

I read the article. This problem of mine occurs when I try to print from an email attachment not from a website.
I am in Mail not Safari. I click the little triangle to show the attachment then double click the icon of the attachment, the pdf opens in adobe reader but when I try to print it the page that comes out of my printer is blank or shows only the masthead of the company but no content.
I tried a two month old email attachment and got the same results.
I looked for the plug-ins mentioned in the article but coul not find them on my Mac in the applications file.
Does anyone know how to uninstall the "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 12" ??
