SQLDeveloper keeps asking for java.exe

Using 64 bit SQLDeveloper 2.1 and the 64 bit version of Sun Java jdk - Version 1.6.0_18 the sqldeveloper.exe keeps asking for java.exe at startup. The JDK was installed first.
I pointed the dialog at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin\java.exe and sqldeveloper.exe starts up OK.
Next time I also have to also point it java.exe - and next time etc.
The only way I could fix this was to edit C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf
Old: SetJavaHome ../../jdk
New: SetJavaHome ../../../Java/jdk1.6.0_18
Using Wordpad and using Run as Administrator - Notepad doesn't handle the embedded line feeds correctly and the file can only be saved when 'Run as Administrator'.
I would have expected the SetJavaHome to be updated after pointing the way to the JDK.
The old value would be OK if the JDK was installed with (within) sqldeveloper except it isn't for the 64 bit version.
Kind regards
Simon

I just ran into this issue myself after upgrading to SQL Developer 3.2. I never had the issue with 3.1, so I was kind of surprised. Right clicking the desktop shortcut, choosing Run as administrator, and giving the correct location fixed the issue.
Certainly the dialog where you set your java version could be expanded with a bit of help.
Two things could be added:
- SQL Developer is currently certified with JDK 6 and we recommend using JDK 6 instead of JDK 7.
- On Windows you may have to run SQL Developer as an administrator to persist this setting. You will only have to run SQL Developer as an administrator once. This has to do with Windows access controls.
Trivial to address and now there are many less questions on the forums and happier users.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion LibreOffice keeps asking for Java and crashing.

Java is needed only for Base which I don't use, so I disable Java in LibreOffice preferences, but it keeps asking if I want to enable it. In addition the preferences aren't being remembered so sometimes LibreOffice crashes when I start to do anything and it has to recover documents. Its all a big nuisance. I have NeoOffice which seems OK, but I'd like to have the option of LibreOffice which I have used for some time. Any thoughts?

Did you install the last Java update 006 _37?

SQL Developer asks for java.exe with the version that has java built in.

I have a user with the following platform:
Windows XP2
SQL Developer Version 1.5.4
The version they are trying to get running is the one that has the JDK built in. However, when they try and startup SQL Developer it asks for the location of java.exe.
However, when I run the same exact version on my workstation, I do not receive the prompt for a java.exe.
I checked the documentation, and I couldn't find anything related to this particular issue, however I may have missed it.
Can anyone provide me with any guidance please? Thanks.

Resolved. There was a difference of permissions on the user's machine.

Safari keeps asking for Java 8 runtime environment even after multiple instals

In spite of instaling Java 8 Runtime environment 3 times & restarting safari after verification of Java I keep getting a popup telling me I need the installation to view web content .
I am getting rather bored of it I shall try shutting down the computer to see if this cures the problem.
Has any one else experienced this ?

Most likely, you have either the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. Both depend on the Java runtime distributed by Apple. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

Infinite Campus grade keeper asks for Java plug in

I am trying to get my new mac pro to work with Infinite Campus. I am using the new Mountain Lion version. Can anyone help?

You must be new to java as well.
What do you think will execute your signed applet?
The browser MUST have a plug-in to execute the applet.
Your alternative is Java Web Start, which bypasses the browser plug-in and launches the JRE/JDK on the client. It also requires signed code to escape sandboxing restrictions.

Hi i wrote a java program for scanning a system for java.exe 's

hi ,
i wrote a program which scans the system for java.exe 's and then it captures them in a linked list and then i
iterate through it for "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe and my aim is to return true in case the linked list contains the string "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe" and stop scanning the system.
If the linked list does not contain "Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe" it should return false.
But my problem is the program is continuing to scan the system even if the linked list has "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe"
Any sort of help is appreciated.

I read a way on another forum to fix this problem. Right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" this should solve your problem.

I lost my original disk for photoshop 7... I need to update.. it won't let me.. and keeps asking for the disk.. even though the program is on my pc... How can i get my update?

I have photoshop 7 on my pc but have lost my original disk.... I went to update it and the update is not seeing the file on my pc... and it keeps asking for my disk.. but i can't find it...
How can i update it...

Ah, you had Photoshop 7.0 working, and now it's not. I see that as a separate issue to updating it. I'm not sure why it would ask you to update it.
Do you know whether you have 7.0 or 7.0.1 at this point? You might be able to do a Properties function on Photoshp.exe and see that info.
You could make an attempt to reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults. Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
Only other thing that comes to mind is to use Windows System Restore to restore back to a restore point where Photoshop was working, or restore from a backup (you do make backups I hope).
If that fails, and you need to do a fresh install but no longer have the original disk and serial number I'm afraid you may be out of luck. There's no place I know of from which to download a fresh full copy of Photoshop 7.0.

Urgent help required - linked subreport keeps asking for parameter value

Greetings,
I have developed a report in the Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio 2005. The data is obtained from a stored procedure. One of the fields in the result set is named "Id".
I have embedded a subreport in the details row of the main report. The subreport also gets its information from a stored procedure. This stored procedure has one parameter named "OpportunityId". This field is linked to the field named "Id" above. the subreport has been set to supress blank subreports.
In the development environment and running the executable of the application on the development machine the report works perfectly. The subreport displays as it should and all is well.
When I deploy the report onto user machines where they have the crystal runtime installed, the report keeps asking for a parameter value for the subreport.
I cannot get this to stop happening.
This report is urgently required. PLEASE could someone help me out here.
I am at my wits end.
I have attached a zipe file containing the following:
- the two stored procedure
- the rpt file
- a sample report
- a screen showing the report having just been generated
Thanks in advance,
Robert Lancaster

Hi Robert,I see your report template and stored procedures. All seems to be ok. The most important is to assign the report parameters for all linked subreports (only one in your case). Try this (in C#, in VB.NET the code are very similary): ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument(@"TopFortyReport.rpt");AssignParameters(report, paramCollection);// and now assign parameters to all linked subreports foreach( CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section section in report.ReportDefinition.Sections){ foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject reportObject in section.ReportObjects) { if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject) { SubreportObject subReport = (SubreportObject)reportObject; ReportDocument subDocument = subReport.OpenSubreport(subReport.SubreportName); AssignParameters(subDocument, paramsCollection); }} void AssignParameters(ReportDocument report, object[] paramsCollection){ int nParams = paramsCollection.Length; for (int iParamIndex = 0; iParamIndex < nParams; iParamIndex++) { if (report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields[iParamIndex].IsLinked()) continue; report.SetParameterValue(iParamIndex, paramsCollection[iParamIndex]); }}

ICloud Restore stuck - keeps asking for old Apple ID

Hello,
I've just gotten a iPhone 4S that I want to restore from an iCloud backup (I've had a 3GS previously). Unfortunately I'm running into problems as the restore process just doesn't finish. Some settings are restored just fine (contacts, messages, browser history, ...) while others are causing problems. In particular the photos & apps are not being downloaded. Apps are recognized but just sit on my screen "waiting".
I suspect that the cause for all this is that the last backup is from March 2012 (my 3GS died then) and in the meantime I've changed my Apple ID. During the restore it keeps asking for my old Apple ID, which is not longer active & I cannot log into.
Now I'm stuck since the phone decides to set the iCloud account to the old one and this cannot be changed as it tells me that I cannot delete the iCloud account during a restore is in progress...
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Unforunately I don't have an iTunes backup and I really don't want to lose my data (especially the photos).
Cheers,
Florian

The solution to fix this mess was to temporarily change my AppleID name back to the one that was active when the iCloud backup was being made.

I bought a £15 itunes card to download some music on to my iphone but it wont take any money off it and keeps asking for my card details,

Thanks

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...
