Suddenly, Java isn't working, yet I am not using the latest version which is said to have flaw

Suddenly Java isn't working. I know there is a security flaw with the latest release, but I don't use the latest release as I am on Snow Leopard. But I need Java so that I can access my computer at work. What is going on? What can I do to get it working?

Java 7 updated for 10.7-10.8
Released Feb 1, 2013, fixes 50+ security flaws

Download and install

For Java versions 6 and below OS X 10.5-10.6 machines
Apple supplies their own version of Java. For Mac OS X 10.6 and below, use the Software Update feature available under the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac.

Java SE 6 End of Public Updates
After February 2013, Oracle will no longer post updates of Java SE 6 to its public download sites. We highly recommend downloading and installing Java 7.
If your considering upgrading OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8 via AppStore to run Java 7
Be forewarned no PowerPC based programs or driver software will run any longer.
Check here BEFORE you upgrade OS X!

Alternatives if you must run Java 7
If Apple disabled Java 6 in 10.6, and you can't upgrade OS X to 10.8, then your pretty much done with Java in OS X because Oracle won't issue updates for Java 6 anymore.
However you can install Windows 7 and continue to use Java 7+ there until support for Windows 7 ends in 2020.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
If your on 10.6, I very highly recommend the free Virtualbox for the virtual machine software as it gets updates, VMFusion and Parallels have moved on with only 10.7+

We are using CS 5.5. If I update to OS 10.9 can I download the latest version of Adobe Drive and have it work with CS 5.5?

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

Or you can revert to 3.6.16.

It maybe worthwhile trying to uninstall and then reinstall the icloud control panel, if the issue is with your outlook.

HT4157 if i get an i pad with 3g service capability do i have to use it in order for the i pad to work or can i just use the wifi part because i don't have the extra money to pay for a data plan

If you do get 3G, you only use cellular when wifi is not available. You pay by the month for a 3/4G plan.

Hardly any of my YouTube subscriptions work with my Apple TV using the latest software (24Aug2011).

Since the recent 4.3.3? update on my Apple TV Gen 2 I've noticed most of my youtube suscription channels display the channel name in the list but their channels are empty when I select them and some just display 3 random videos i.e. not the latest three videos...what's going on? This used to work fine!!! I can search for the videos and they play fine so it's not permissions on youtube it's 100% apples buggy untested software update.
Seriously Apple how can you allow this update into production without properly testing the youtube subscription channels!? surely it's gotta be a big thing to test!?
Please patch this asap and don't open a whole bunch of new bugs along the way! you end up resolving one issue and creating another 5! help!
Yes I've tried reboots and resets and none work!!!! it worked fine then a few seconds later I updated my ios software on the device and this problem occurred...grrrrrr
Anyone else?

I'm connected to Wi-Fi, and Safari works fine, but Facebook / Youtube aren't working. I'm using the latest versions of each, and using the latest iPod version - what's wrong?

Pretty much the title - Wi-Fi seems to be fine, I'm using my laptop at the moment and internet's working fine. Safari works on my iPod touch also, but not Facebook or Youtube. These are at their latest versions, and the iPod is at its latest version too...anyone had the same problem / know what to do?

Are Restrictions turned on? Go to Settings > General > Restrictions. If it says "On", enter your Restrictions password and see if Facebook and YouTube are turned off.

I have an iPhone 4 and suddenly the "slide to unlock" button will not work. I can not use the phone, answer calls or anything at all. Ideas?

I have an iPhone 4s. All of a sudden the slide to unlock button does not work. I cannot access the phone, answer phone calls, or do anything with the phone. Anyone have any ideas?

I was having a similar problem but only when answering calls. A reset seems to have fixed it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that doesn't do it you may need to contact Apple Care or take it in for repair.

I can open hotmail but cannot open the email, it works fine in Internet Explorer, it seems as if the problem is with Java. I am using the latest version of Java, Help!!

I can sign into my Hotmail account and see emails but cannot open the email. I have tried to open the Java consul but it won't open. I can open emails OK in Internet Explorer. Any ideas??

You said you tried the recommended solution, but didn't mention what that solution was. Try, from the Firefox menu bar:
 
Tools -> Options -> Content
where you will find an option to block pop-up windows. If that box is checked but there are sites from which you would like to allow pop-up, click the button "Exceptions..." to add sites to your exception list.
See also the help article [[Pop-up blocker]].

I am using the latest version of Lightroom 5 and everything works well in this program except the Presets Panel. When I Hover the cursor over one of Adobe's preinstalled presets, I am supposed to be able to see what this preset would do to the image I hav

I cannot get my presets panel to work at all.
How do I remedy this situation?

It most definitely is the browser that is causing most of the problems. I have used Firefox so long, I can't even remember. Maybe since its beginning. But today is a sad day. I gave up on it. I can't accomplish anything and end up spending hours troubleshooting. I see I am not alone. I am so sick of it "not responding." It's simply not worth it to spend so much time trying to make the thing work, so I can actually do something. Installed, removed, reinstalled numerous times, and I can't fix your software on my Win 7 Pro machine. No problems with IE or Chrome. So. as much as I hate Google Update, Chrome has won the test. Sad, sad day for me to lose Firefox, but it just does not work on the Win 7 machine. I don't have the same issues with the XP machine and have exactly all the same add-ons. Keep it up developers and you will have no Win 7 users at all.

All videos I play through Firefox are skipping but the same videos work fine in Safari. I am using the latest versions and patches. Help?

Other details? Umm, I'm using a Mac. Never had problems before version 4.0. It happens on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, GomTV, among other video sites. I loaded the same videos in Safari and they play fine.

Please try to re-install your firefox browser or maybe you must get the latest version of mozilla firefox browser, here >> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new]
And you can try to re-install your Adobe Flash Player too and get the latest version here >> [http://example.com http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/]

All of a sudden, I'm getting an error that says I can't open my current iPhoto library using this version of iPhoto. Then it tells me to use the latest version. But I don't know how and I don't know when it changed....

I cannot open iPhoto. The error reads: "You can't open your current iPhoto library using this version of iPhoto.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version."
But, I don't ever recall doing that, and I need to access my iPhoto. Anyone help?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I'm using the latest version of Firefox V29.0.1 Firefox cache settings no longer working for SWF files. can you help on

Firefox caching on SWF files (Adobe Flash files) are not caching at browser level. But the same SWF Files are caching at other browsers like Google Chrome and IE.
But when i see the about:cache service information, I can see SWF Files are there in the disk cache device. When ever i hit the same page, the SWF files are downloaded from the server not from the browser, but the fetch count for that SWF file will get increase in disk cache device. So it's taking time to load the SWF files every time when i hit the page.
I'm requesting your help on this SWF File caching.

Using the latest version of iPhoto, yet it says it's not good enough

I'm getting the following message in iPhoto when I try to open it:
"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I even reinstalled it from the iLife 09 disc and ran software update again

This can be a sign of a damaged Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
