Recent java update won't work

hello everybody, i was doing some browsing awhile ago then got notified that there was an update for java, so i proceeded to update and after it was done, my java no longer worked, restarted my computer etc, no luck, any suggestion's?

On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. You may re-enable Java applets by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a webpage. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.

Java Update won't work and runtime error

I have 2 problems.
1. First, I am running Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7. I also use Firefox 2.0.0.11.
I have Java SE Runtime Environment 6, but when I try to download Update 3, this is the message I receive on both IE and Firefox:
*"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it,*
*Or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."*
2. Second, this is my problem when I try to play Text Twist on Yahoo Games: On IE, I get a message stating that the Runtime has requested that the program terminate it in an unusual way. Then IE closes.
On Firefox, the game simply never loads.
When I first got my computer with Windows Vista, I was able to play this game. I don't know what's changed to cause this error to happen.
If any one can help me, I will appreciate it very much.
Thank you,
Joy

I guess I posted to the wrong forum. {embarrassed}
I found the solution for my problems in the forum for java errors. It worked. Thank you.

I had this problem with JRE 1_5_0_09 - after beating it to death, I finally got it.
Note that JRE did NOT appear in my add/remove programs list - also it did not appear when I ran the windows install clean-up utility msicuu2.exe.
However, when I browsed to
Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Sun\Java
I found a folder named jre1.5.0_09 containing the MSI file which installed JRE perfectly.
I am not sure if everyone with this problem will have the JRE file there, but I imagine that if it's NOT there, placing it there from another system and then running it might also work.
good luck.

IPOD updater won't work

The recent updater won't work for my ipod mini. It downloads and opens, but after I select Macintosh HD to dl it in, the next page where you can select what you want to install won't let me select. WHat's going on?

Is your antivirus software enabled? Do you have a fire wall on? Disable your antivirus software, try again and when you are done updating then enable your antivirus back on.
See if that works.

Java applications won't work

On my iMac, Java applications won't work. I tried opening minecraft, and several other Java applications. All of them have a message that pops up saying, "Not compatible version of Java 1.5+ is available." I tried updating it but their is no update for Java it says on my updater. Running 10.6.8

Dakota97 wrote:
I tried openning it but it said it couldn't open because it requires java to run it.
I don't understand that becuase 10.6.8 should already have Java installed. It optional in 10.7.x. It will be interesting to see if the java update even works under these conditions.

Java Plugin won't work in Netscape 7.1

I'm using Windows XP Home with Netscape 7.1, and the Java plugin won't work.
Java Plug-in 1.4.2_05 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) is listed 7 times in Help>About:Plugins;
The Java Plugin works in Internet Explorer (I use the Test Java Virtual Machine to determine this). With Netscape, I just get the "Click here to get the plugin" window, and believe me, I've clicked here many times, and gone through the installation process, and it still doesn't work. I've uninstalled Java, rebooted, and installed it with the browsers closed, and it still doesn't work. Everything else in Netscape seems to be working properly.
Under Edit>Preferences>Advanced in Netscape I have "Enable Java" checked.
I posted this problem in the Windows-BBS Netscape and Mozilla forum, http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=33994, and tried everything suggested there, but it still didn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

I was facing a similar problem. I think the problem is with different versions of JRE. For example, I was trying to associate with Netscape the JRE version of 1.4.2_01 without any success. But on associating jdk version 1.4.2_05, it started working fine.

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

Warning popup for jnlp and all-permissions security, recent java update

We have a java program running with java webstart. The jnlp includes the all-permissions security level.
All jar files have a manifest with Permissions: all-permissions and all jar files are signed with our trusted certificate.
When the program is started we get a popup saying something like:
"This application will run with unrestricted access which may put your computer and personal information at risk. Run this application only if you trust the locations and publisher above."
This popup is coming _everytime_ the program is started... which is very annoying for the user and causes support issues for the organization.
This has started to happen in the recent java update. First the program did not start at all until we included the Permission attribute in every jar's manifest.
How can we get rid of this popup?
Best regards,
Emil

If we add the following to the manifest of the jar files:
Permissions: all-permission
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: *
It seems like the "checkbox" to only show the warning message once is back again (without those two last lines above in the manifest there is no checkbox at all).

Firmware update won't work after you've tried the Narf/Blanka method?

Many ppl have reported that their Firmware update won't work after they've tried the Narf/Blanka method for Dualbooting Windows. [For some reason, it doesn't).
Formatting the startup, reinstall etc WILL work ... because of what our friend says here : http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2076211#2076211
Fortunately, it isn't necessary To Reformat etc... (at least for the firmware update) Apparently, as long you boot from a different Disk to the one you've 'messed with' - such as , say, an external FW Drive, the Firmware updater works.
Had the same problems, same reasons on a 20". Booting from external FW Drive made it happen for me.
May someone be helped by this e-missive....

Sorry: the above is (partly) wrong ... - it'll get you past the firmware update but won't get you past the Boot Camp Assistant ... - it wants to see a single partition No matter what ...
[Just for that, I'm gonna see if I can mess with the 'can't do this on an external drive' requirement ... by moving an external to internal then back out again grin)
best of luck...

Java plugin won't work in Chrome

Java won't work in Chrome. I have OSX 10.7 on my Macbook Pro, and when I try to update Java, a popup alert is served that the update is only going to work for OSX 10.6. It would be really, really helpful to be able to use Java in my browsers. Any insight as to how I can get it to do that?

Do you have Java enabled in Safari:

Recent java update breaks SwingWorker

Hi,
Please correct me if I am wrong on any information that say here, but since I did a software update(had a java update) my application doesnt work!!!
The problem is to do with the SwingWorker java class. In particular having multiple tasks! It only seems to be able to run 1 task now. I have demostrated this in a simple demo application. I would think that this issue would have quite a big impact on users.
Also searching the net I found a recent bug listing in java.
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/viewbug.do?bugid=6880336
Please note that this bug also impacts 10.6.

Welcome to the forums!
You will probably get better information from the Swingworker forum:
http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57&start=0
as it is not an Apple product.

You want to downgrade because the new updates won't work? Read this.

First of all, I'm not any kind of techie person, I just have gone through this horrible experience of not being able to get into the itunes store at all after downloading the last 2 updates (7.4.2.4 and 7.4.3.1). Once I downgraded to 7.3.2.6 I was back in the itunes store downloading whatever I wanted. But, it was not all fun & games - the library file wouldn't work with the older version of itunes, and I lost all my playlists and had to reimport all my music. The second time I downgraded I did figure out how to save the playlists, but I still haven't figured out how to restore the itunes library file. If anyone has ideas about that feel free to post here.
I consider this a last resort if you really need to get into the store. Hopefully you have already tried other suggestions in other forums. If you do decide to try this, you should read everything first to see what you're getting into. Also, if you just bought a new ipod, it probably won't work with the older version. You should keep calling the apple support phone #.
The process isn't that much harder than installing an new version, although you need to uninstall 7.4.x first. *If you decide to try this I highly suggest you do a backup to disk first just in case.* Uninstalling itunes doesn't delete any of your music files, but it never hurts to have a backup. Go to File>Backup to disc.
By the way, this is assuming you're on Windows XP.
First get ready:
1. Go to File>Export Library. Save this file somewhere in your My Documents Folder, not the iTunes folder.
2. Export each playlist you have individually by right clicking on the playlist and selecting Export songlist. Save these text files in the same folder as #1.
3. Now, download the version of iTunes you want from oldapps.com/itunes.htm. I used 7.3.2 and it worked fine.
4. While that's downloading start uninstalling iTunes under Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs. Remove Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, iTunes and QuickTime. Don't restart until all 4 are removed. (Optional, also run CCleaner - click the 'issues' button. This gets rid of a lot of little files that don't get removed in this process, but it's a little intimidating if you're not a techie person.)
5. Now restart. After you're back up, click on the iTunes setup file you just downloaded. After it installs, when you open iTunes the first time, you'll probably see this error: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." When you click ok the box closes & iTunes doesn't open.
Go into your iTunes folder (usually in your My Music folder) and remove this file - it will show up as iTunes Library.itl or maybe just iTunes Library. You could just delete it because you already have a backup from step #1. The other file, also called iTunes Library, is an .xml file that you can delete if you want.
6. Open iTunes - it will look totally blank w/ no files. Don't panic! Go to File>Import and try to import the library you made way back in step #1. I'm sorry to say it might not work. If it doesn't, the next thing to try is to import an older version of the library file, which will be in the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder inside the iTunes folder. This also didn't work for me. So....
7. If you couldn't get the library file to open, you need to add your music back in. I just went to File>Add Folder to Library and added my My Music folder. You could also try doing it from backup discs but that takes a long time; in either case, if you have a lot of music this will take awhile. Just let iTunes do it's thing.
8. Now you can go to File>Import and select the playlists you created in step #1. This did work for me when I went from 7.4.3.1 back to 7.3.2.6.
You should be good to go! I hope this helps some people. If you have any questions you can post them, but I can't promise that I will have answers.

Hi - it sounds like you still need to move the library file, which is in step 5 of my original post; this is assuming you exported your library before you went back to 7.3 - if you didn't do that, don't delete anything yet - just try moving the itunes library.itl file onto your desktop:
"5. Now restart. After you're back up, click on the iTunes setup file you just downloaded. After it installs, when you open iTunes the first time, you'll probably see this error: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." When you click ok the box closes & iTunes doesn't open.
"Go into your iTunes folder (usually in your My Music folder) and remove this file - it will show up as iTunes Library.itl or maybe just iTunes Library. You could just delete it because you already have a backup from step #1. The other file, also called iTunes Library, is an .xml file that you can delete if you want (actually, just leave the .xml file where it is).
"6. Open iTunes - it will look totally blank w/ no files. Don't panic! Go to File>Import and try to import the library you made way back in step #1."
Since I wrote that I've gone back and forth a couple of times, and importing the backup library file should work. If for some reason you didn't export your library, you can try importing the iTunes Music Library.xml file in your iTunes folder. It takes a really long time but this does also work.
If you were having the same 11333 error that I was, I was finally able to get into the iTunes store with 7.4.3 after installing certificate revocations lists as described on this page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306628
I think that's helped a lot of people - have you tried that? Of course, to do that you would have to reinstall the newer version to try it.
Please post again if you are still having problems with the library, but I think you should be ok!

After installing recent java update, computer will not sleep.

After installing the recent java, daylight savings, and the security update. my computer will not sleep. Does anyone else have this problem? I do have an adaptec usb2 card installed but nothing is plugged into it. Also i don't have any Ipods or external things plugged in. I have had the same setup for the past year with no problems, now it will not sleep. I have also tried repairing the permissions. Please help

A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
WAKE UP
In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
FILE CORRUPTION
Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
ENERGY SAVER
If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--
(username is your name or System Administrators name)
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
Yours would be the 10.4.8 Combo update. Others reading, download the combo update that applies to you!
Cheers!

The 2.1.3 Software update won't work, the new version of iTunes won't download. Please help.

For several months now I have not been able to find a solution to either of these two problems. When I have the Apple Software Update program open and I click update, it loads for a second and then goes back to the usual page saying to update. It will not update. I have also tried, multiple times, to install the new current version of iTunes and that won't work either. I've tried to repair iTunes by going to Control Panel > Programs > Repair and it still won't work. Please help because I'm trying to download a new app but it requires the new version of iTunes. I am using a Windows Vista and I'm this is for my 4th generation iPod touch.

Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

Safari, iTunes Store connection, Software Update won't work

I'm having a strange problem with my iBook...Safari will not load/open, Software Update from the blue apple menu at the top won't work and now I can't access the iTunes Store. I have no problem with my internet connection and Firefox works fine along with Mail. Safari has never worked actually, but the iTunes Store and Software Update are the new issues. I've repaired the permissions over and over, and I have not loaded any third part apps. Anybody have a clue about what the heck is going on here?!??!!!

HI Martin,
I see you did the 10.4.10 update. Did the problems exist before the update?
Whether they did or not, you have network issues. iTunes/Safari/Mail all require networking preferences and they can become corrupted. You said Safari has never worked... that could be the culprit of all your probs right there. And much as I like Firefox, it has caused too many connections issues to list.
First... before you do anything, back up important files, data/audio/images etc.
Second.. the following are System Preferences that need to be trashed. I know you've tried a few before, but try this anyway. If it works, you will have to reset your Sys Prefs, but that beats a clean install.
Go here: MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences. Locate and trash the following files: com.apple.networkConfig.plist
com.apple.softwareudpate.plist
Now.. go here: MacintoshHD/Users/Home/Library/Preferences. In the Preferences folder locate these files;
com.apple.safari.plist users
com.apple.itunes.plist users
com.apple.internetconfig.plist
com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
com.apple.internetconnect.plist
com.apple.recentitems.plist
com.apple.safari.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Also, if you don't have a good disk cache cleaner... get Onyx. It's FREE and it works like a charm. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning Scripts once a week to avoid problems such as you are experiencing. Download and intall Onyx per the instructions. Only takes a few minutes...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
Have you ran Disk Utility from your system restore disk to check for errors on the disk? You need to verify the disk is OK. If you need help with that, just post back..... I really hope something helps for you.
If all the above fails, at this point you might consider doing a complete Erase and Reinstall from your system restore disk(s).
