Purpose of new Java 2013-002 update?

Hi,
I'm really confused now, first Apple says we dont provide Java anymore and refered to Oracle. So now i'm sitting with Java 7 update 17 here and i get
OSX update for Java version 6!
I dont want to mess up the system with an old Java now so i'm wondering
1) can i just ignore this update and if so how can i make it dissapread from my update list? Its annoying to have always one update there
2) why does Apple send out an update when they have decided not to support Java in OSX? I mean if they now want to support why not send the latest update instead of an old one? this just dont make any sense to me but please explain if i'm totally wrong here.
Regards /Reza

hmm actually now the update makes sense, i found a link to the update
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5675
This release updates the Apple-provided system Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_43 and is for OS X versions 10.7 or later.
This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.
This update also removes the Java Preferences application, which is no longer required to configure applet settings.
So basically Apple is removing the Java they forced me to install
This is good i guess since now i can have one Java VM, i hate to mix things.

Problems on install Java 2013-004 update on Lion 10.7.5

I'm trying to install the Java 2013-004 update on a 2008 Macbook with Lion 10.7.5.
I've tried several times from 'Software Update' and downloading the .DMG from Apple.
It always stops at the very end of 'Installing items', lasting less than one minutes. But it can stay in that situation for hours and never completes the installation. And since them I'm having problems with software like 'jdownloader' that uses Java.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Java 2013-003 Update causing issues

I own several Mac's; one Macbook and two iMacs, each with different versions of OS X and after installing the 2013-003 update I'm having major issues with Java. In fact since Apple decided they didn't want Java running on their OS's and in their browsers, I've had numerous problems.
Today I was forced to install the 2013-003 update and when I try to run a website I use which requires Java, all I'm seeing is this message:
Use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java for your Mac.
Clearly I've updated to the latest version and I've even tried installing the most up to date version of Java from Oracle's website yet I'm still having the same issue. I love my Apple computers but I'm getting really sick of the constant Java issues.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.

Would like to know the answer to this too.

N8 wont pick up the new software (014.002) update.

Hi I am trying to update my Nokia N8 from the software 011.012 to 014.002. I have tried on my PC with the ovi & PC suite and the nokia software updater. Nothing seems to be picking the latest software up. Any help or thoughts on how to fix this would be fantastic.
Thanks

yea the phone isnt locked to the sim card in it its who you purchased the phone from. i was gonna say its the silver. because i have the black and its a difrent code and telstra only offered the silver and black wasnt happy i wanted the orange or green. the reason it may always be dead is a fauly battery if its under warenty get them to replace it.. or your constantly online, or you could have manny operating applications in the background.
but im asuming you use it for emails try making the sync over a longer period. not everytime you get the email. otherwise its constantly searching and thats whats using the power.. my other option is find a power monitering app and see where all the power is being used.
sorry i cant help any further. and bring on mid september
(im sad to say they skiped pr 1.1 and 1.2 for anna.. but dont worry they are a part of the anna update.)

HT5675 I have a question about OS x 2013-002 1.0 the Java update the showed up recently

If I have installed Oracles Version 7 Update 17 (build 1.7.0_17-b02) I think I should skip this update. I am seeking confirmation on that decision and if it is correct how do I tell App Store to stop asking me to install it?
Bellow is the Apple details on the update they are reccomending:

I updated two iMacs this morning with both the Apple OSX Java update and the Java update (17) this morning. On my older iMac (2007) all is working fine. On my newer iMac (2011) all works fine for awhile, but then I start getting probelms. Programs like Address Book, iTunes, and iCal won't open from the dock, and Safari won't load web pages. Need to use force quit to get out of them. After a restart, all is back to normal again for awhile. Both computers are running Lion 10.7. Everything was working fine on both computers prior to the Java updates, so I'm wondering what my one computer doesn't like about the latest updates.

Mac Book Pro hangs when installing Security Update 2013-002 (ver 1.0) on Lion 10.7.5

I am running Lion 10.7.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2011) with the latest software updates and everything has been working perfectly.
Last night I tried to do a Software Update and it said there is a Security Update 2013-002 (ver 1.0) recommended. I installed it and the progress bar went to about 50% and then stopped. I waited more than 2 hours and the mac locked up. Had to do a hard reboot. Tried to install this Security update again after rebooting. The mac froze again (spinning wheel).
Any ideas?

OK. Let's try running the computer in Safe Mode then a normal restart. The initial startup into safe mode will take some time so be patient. A progress bar will eventually appear then disappear. Once safe mode is complete you will see a login window. Login with the desired account and password. Wait for the startup to fully complete before restarting. The point here is to clear some caches and other files that may become corrupted.
If you happen to own a utility such as Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner I would use it to clear out all the user, system, and font caches. An immediate restart is needed upon completion. At least this way we can rule out corrupted caches.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions About OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking.
Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
3. Maintaining Mac OS X
4. Mac Maintenance Guide
Periodic Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
Defragmentation
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive. But you don't need to buy third-party software. All you need is a spare external hard drive and Carbon Copy Cloner.
Cheap and Easy Defragmentation
You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive. You will use Carbon Copy Cloner to create the backup and to restore it.
1. Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the
       external one.
2. Boot from the external hard drive.
3. Erase the internal hard drive.
4. Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
Clone the internal drive to the external drive
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
3. Select the Destination volume from the left side dropdown menu.
4. Be sure the Block Copy button is not depressed or is ghosted.
5. Click on the Clone button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the upward pointing arrow button.
After startup do the following:
Erase internal hard drive
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the
       mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the
       drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is
       failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be
       reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the
       DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the
       drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
       (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
       GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait
       until the process has completed.
Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
3. Select the Destination volume from the left side dropdown menu.
4. Be sure the Block Copy button is not selected or is ghosted.
5. Click on the Clone button.
Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
Malware Protection
As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
1. Mac Malware Guide.
2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
3. Macintosh Virus Guide
For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
Cache Clearing
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
For emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
Installing System Updates or Upgrades
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Backup and Restore
Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Deja Vu
3. SuperDuper!
4. Synk Pro
5. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

App crashes after Security Update 2013-002

I have installed Security Update 2013-002 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and now certain apps like Safari, Software Update, Mail, Adobe Reader crash with a segmentation fault. Other apps like Photoshop, Google Chrome work fine.
I found a thread on here of someone who was having a similar problem with Chrome crashing and he fixed it by repairing Disk Permissions but thats not made any difference to me.
Any ideas?

Test in Safe Boot to see if the crashes happen there. MIght also try testing from a different account.
Shift key at the startup chime and expect a much longer time to boot up. No Wi-Fi in Safe Boot, so if that's how you connect you won't be able to go anywhere. But you will be able to see if Safari, or Software Update, for example, are still crashing on open.

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!
Renée

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.

How to get notified when new java SE update is released

We need to track security and performance bug fixes and features introduced in each new Java release that comes out. Is there a linked that we can monitor or feed that updates us when a new java version comes out? Do we need a support contract to receive these updates?
