The constant update of Java and Flash in a managed account

First off sorry if this question has been answered, I had tried a search and could not find it. I have a lab of machines (Maverick with managed accounts) that uses Jar files and Flash applets that are downloaded to the desktop. I would update the machines on a Friday for these internet plugins. But then another update, either Flash or Java, will roll on the weekend and the browser is useless on Monday because Safari refuses to load the jar file or flash applet and Firefox will download corrupt jar files. So the students cannot just use one browser. I would prefer Firefox since it is more forgiving on the flash and allows me to have time till the end of the week to update but now there is an issue of the jar. How can I make it that the java console and Flash will automatically update in the managed account or allow the person to update only these applications and it would not matter which browser is used? Is there a way to use Automator for this, I have a feeling it is a no but I want to be sure? Or is there a way on the firewall to prevent it from checking in the browser for the updates? This is a little frustrating for there seems to be an update more then two or three times in a month and rendering the machine useless for lab.

(Released 4/16/2014) Flash Player 13.0.0.201 (Mac only) (44.67 MB)
That has the fixed Flash 13.0.0.201 plug-in and the debugger. in it. You just need to run the regular installer from that zip file.

I was wondering if you have fixed the compatibility issues with java and flash players in the new patch

after update 6.0.0 all java scripts and flash players where incompatible and disabled i tried re-down loading new versions and tried to erase Firefox and all ad-dons and reload them and still had issues with them i had to re-download Firefox 5 to continue to use your program and i wanna make sure that in 6.0.2 i will not have to do the same thing.. it is a head ache and inconvenient

You're welcome.
The only workarounds to this problem is going back to Safari 4,
You can revert to 4.0.5, instructions here.

The latest update of reader and flash player

attempted to upload latest version of reader and flash player and continur to get a "plug in failure" I have followed all trouble shooting steps with no luck.
I am using an iMac OS 10.9.2, 4GB ram,
Please help

I just ran a software update for Java and MacBook Pro SMC, now my Mini Display Port to HDMI TV is not working. The TV is flickering. The Mac Display is fine.

I was just watching / streaming TV off Safari on my actual TV.
I'm using a Mini-Display Port to HDMI cable for the connection to the external display.
Software update popped-up and said there was an update for Java and for SMC.
I ran the update and upon the computer restarting, my external display (my TV) is no longer working. It is now flickering.
It won't work in Mirroring or set up as an extended display.
I've reset SMC / PRAM / Safe Mode / Even restored from a Time Machine backup (From before the updates were done).
What could it be?!

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed. This is pretty typical. Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images. How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile. If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it. It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background. A quick web search turns up many overviews. Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.

Are Java and Flash (or any plugin; as a matter of fact) supported on Linux Firefox 8? I don't see any lib or plugins directory in the install directory.

I don't see any plugin support on installing Linux Firefox 8 tar.bz2 package. I've tried symlinking libnpjp2.so and libflashplayer.so to the isntall directory but Firefox doesn't seem to recognize those. I don't find any mention of disabling plugin support (Java and Flash specifically) on Firefox 8 release notes. Is anybody else facing this issue?

Thanks. Creating a "plugins' directory inside the profile directory, and putting symlinks to plugin files inside the directory solved the problem

Tutorials on the Apple Website play in Safari and Chrome, but not always in Firefox. Java and Flash plug ins are up to date.

I was trying to play the Time Machine video tutorial on the Apple Website (I have an imac 10.6.6) and it won't play in Firefox, but it will in Safari and Chrome. This has happened before but then seemed to fix itself. Other videos (Youtube for eg.) play fine. All plugs (Java and Flash) are up to date. Just wondering why this could happen.

I have had this problem for a few days, no sound in Firefox, but IE and WMP (offline) have sound, this is a Firefox ONLY problem, so the volumes are all set correctly and the drivers and needed files are there, I've tried every fix that people have suggested on Google like checking the flash player settings, creating the "missing.reg" registry file and importing it, etc...
nothing works, I may just have to switch to Safari or Chrome, I watch a lot of video online (Youtube, ESPN3, NFL.com, etc.) so this is a huge problem...

Java and Flash not working ONLY in Safari

Ok, so Java and flash stopped working in Safari on my 10.6.8 system. It seems a recent update caused a problem and all of the normal items I have gone through have made it worse or not helped.
Java is not working in Safari (My account or guest account)
     http://javatester.org/version.html    Error "attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
     http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp " attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
     http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ Error "Missing plugin"
     Flash tests just say missing plugin
Java DOES work in Chrome and Firefox
     http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
          Java SE 6 Update 31
          Flash - 11,2,202,235 installed
Able to use apps and other items online that are not working in Safari.
Have downloaded and installed the following and done the following
     Ran software update
     Verified Java and Java Script are enabled via Safari > Preferences > Security
     Re-installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8
     Reinstalled current version of flash
     Looked around and deleted all plist, and java folders in library locations (user and main system)
     Cleared out metadata folders
     Reset Safari several times
     Java Preferences
          Cleared all cache
          Made sure no old versions there (2 entereis)
          Reset all defaults
          Removed any blocked items
Current Java version per terminal
java -version
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-10M3646)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-415, mixed mode)
So - Java is up and working - works in Chrome and Firefox. Have reinstalled both from current versions. Reset all browser cache. Issue follows Safari. Normally installing these and trying again works. I do not know what other things to reset or clear out.

Yes, I got distracted for a moment with something, came back and I didn't finish reading the OP's original post, I have since edited mine.
BTW, the Mozilla plug-in checker is basically useless for Safari users, since have of those I have have no status, but work in Safari:
I don't know the causes for the "Research" one's, why there isn't a link or why it doesn't update the checker,
But at least it's infomative, as vulnerable plug-ins are responsible for MacDefender and Flashback malware attacks.
Someone with a lot of plug-ins should be running Firefox and NoScript, as your very exposed to multiple attack vectors from any of those plug-ins, which is the purpose of the web site, to get the word out about outdated plug-ins with potential security issues.

Java and Flash broken

Forgive me if this is a redundant topic.
For about a month now, both Safari and Firefox have been unable to play video in any player nor display any other flash based medium. While Safari displays a blank area where the player would be, Firefox usually displays this message:
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
I know I have all of the latest updates for both Java and Flash. Any ideas? I've had a similar problem with my iMac in recent years, except instead of a blank space there would be a QuickTime logo with '?' in the center. This resolved itself after many months.
For the time being I can switch to Opera to view video, but if you've used Opera before you can understand my pain a desperation to have Safari or Firefox back.

Have you tried repairing permissions, or setting up a new User Account with Flash and JavaScript installed and testing there to see if the problem persists? Have you considered re-applying the 10.5.4 Combo Update (after repairing permissions)?

Firefox will not start, even in Safe Mode. Evidence suggests that this is due to an incompatibility with the latest update of Java.

Firefox will not start in WinXP. (I am sending this from an alternate browser.)
I believe that this is due to some incompatibility with the latest update of Java. I believe that one of the tabs from my previous session included a Java application, and this is causing the difficulty. In recent days, since the last update of Java, I have had difficulty in loading linked pages with Java applications into Firefox, and have needed to switch to a different browser to do this.
Now I cannot even start the browser, presumably due to the presence of a Java application on one of the restored tabs.
When I now try to start Firefox, my ZoneAlarm security s/w presents the message "Java(TM) Quick Starter binary is trying to access the Internet." I click "Allow", but Firefox will not start. If I click "Deny", the same result. The same thing happens when I try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, I cannot even start Firefox in Safe mode.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after recent update of Java

You can try to disable the Java Quick starter and the Java Console extension in the Control Panel > Java.
Control Panel > Java > Advanced tab > Miscellaneous >Java Quick Starter (disable)
You can also disable the Java plugin in Firefox: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins

In Office 2011 the function "share it by e-mail" seems to be disabled. that happened recently, just after the apple update regarding Java. Any idea on how enable this function again?

I was able to get to a support person who helped me fix this without charge. I guess it was my bad for not trying the right way to access support.
Anyway, they answer is this.
I had to create a new account on my computer. When I logged into the new account it immediately wanted an AppleID. I used my daughter's e-mail address for the AppleID. This setup the internet accounts correctly with her iCloud.com e-mail address. I was then able to access e-mail in both the browser and Mail. Not that complicated but nothing that I would have easily thought up on my own.
Thank Apple Support!

No sound in flash-related videos since I updated my browser and flash.

I updated my browser and flash. Before this I had no problems whatsoever with sound in flash videos. I was watching them just fine and then I installed the updates, and all of a sudden flash vids play fine, but have no volume. I tried adjusting the mixer volume on my system tray and nothing. I don't want to go uninstalling and reinstalling and losing years of settings because somebody couldn't code flash properly.
HELP!!!!!!!
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Today when I updated Firefox to version 3.6.4 and got the flash update of version 10.1.53.64

Hello C.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:

If you are having a problem specifically with Adobe Flash Player, you need to contact Adobe.

PLease help me !!

Why should we care how many times you've written this? Are you making multiple threads? Are they being deleted by the Hosts?
Did you make a backup of your iPhone before you updated the iOS?
Did you import the photos to your computer?
Were the photos in the Camera Roll, Photo Stream or synced iTunes albums?
