The latest Java update breaks some vital applications

The latest Java update breaks some vital applications. I have reverted back to 7u45. But now, every time a java applet is used, the "later", "block", "update" window appears and stops the applet from loading. I must have this older release. Oracle does not throughly test their updates. Note: the apps the update breaks are actually Oracle apps.
I have checked the "do not ask again until next relesse" box every single time. Worthless.
Is there a way to stop Java version checks? I even have the box deselected for check for updates; ignored by OS X. I WANT CONTROL! Stop checking!
Ideas?

We are facing the same issue. We suggested all out customers not to install the updates Java 7u65 or 8u11 until there is a workaround or fix.
The wrong look & feel is causing the following problems:
- Either icons or text can be display on a button. Currently the majority of buttons are displaying an icon. Therefore the workaround is to set the text at least.
- Scroll-bars are displayed within all cells of a table column. The circumstances are not clear when these scroll-bars are displayed.

Is it ok to download the latest java update:

Is it ok to download the latest java update? I thought I had heard of a problem with them?

The Java 6U35 (1.6.0_35) that you currently is rather old, so you should either update to the latest Java 6U41 or Java 7U15 version to be protected against security vulnerabilities.
You can find the latest Java version on the Oracle website.
See Java Platform > Java SE 7U15 and Java 6U41 (Download JRE)

How do i remove the latest Java update?

Yesterday Software Update installed a new version of Java which breaks my Juniper Network Connect VPN client.
How do i undo this software update?
Thanks.

Restore your system from your unupdated backup!
Short of that you might try reinstalling the 10.6.8 combo updater and hope (just hope) it wipes out all the stuff the latest Java 10.6 update 6 installed.
Finally, last resort, reinstall 10.6 and then that 10.6.8 combo updater.
I would have suggested trying the Java 10.6 update 5 hoping (again just hoping) it overwrites all the stuff update 6 installed but I can't find the download link for it at the moment.

After the latest Java Update, this is running all the time

Anyone know what JavaApplicationStub is, and why it's running all the time now? I noticed this after the last Java update from Apple, which mentioned downloading something from Oracle, which I never did. thx!

I have been experiencing this exact same problem ever since I upgraded.
In addtion to what Mflor describes as the problem that's occurring, I even experience this when I'm playing my iPod on my docking station through the AppleTV. It just stops midway through the first song and continues to do so after 5-7 plays and that's only if I'm patient enough to deal with it.
The message I get quickly once this occurs is that my AppleTV doesn't have an internet connection, but that message only appears for a quick second before it returns to the main AppleTV menu with ALL the options.
I've even tried rebooting the AppleTV and this still occurs.

Firefox's latest update could not cope with the latest java update. So my computer is not functioning normally. Why?

I just downloaded the latest firefox. I got a message that there was something about the latest java that it could not cope with. I did not think that it would be a problem so I downloaded. However when I loaded up the betfair page I could not get the list of sports to come up. So then I started clicking on symbols to f.ind a help button. I am not very computer literate. I eventually clicked the bookmarks button and tried to look at an item but ended up with a reduced size homepage overlaying the bookmark page and It seems to be stuck.The restore item on the history page is not working so what can I do?

If you mean this one:
It's the orientation lock, it stops the display rotating when you rotate your phone.
You can turn this on/off from the control Centre which you can reveal by swiping upwards from the bottom of the screen.

Mac 10.8.x Latest Java Update Breaks SVG

On the latest Mac version, our Desktop application that utilizes vector graphics is suddenly broken. The SVG images are no longer appearing/displaying on the screen like normal. This is only with Mac 10.8.x and the latest release of Java. Any suggestions on what could cause this, how to go about troubleshooting this, or where else to post this question is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Do I need the latest Java update?

I am not a Java developer. Do I need this update to make my browser and other applications function properly?
Thanks

Because of a work related issue, I need java. Initially, the site forced me to use Explorer. Eventually, as java updates were installed, I got the site to work in Firefox. Now, after the latest, I can use Safari.

Latest JAVA update breaks numerous web page services - how do I uninstall?

Since applying the most recent JAVA update, Java server pages that use dropdown menus that worked in the past no longer stay dropped down. On the click down action, the menu appears briefly then disappears so it is now impossible to use these critical menus.
Clearly something is defective in this update. How do I uninstall it?
Thanks,
Ross

Did you try changing the active Java version? Applications>Utilities>JavaPreferences.

Firefox does not recognize the last java update and some videos cannot be played and some sites do not load. What to do?

After the last update of Java, whenever checking addons, the report that is given is that the plugins "Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0550.13" and "Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U55" are outdated. Some videosites don´t load at all and some videos simply are not played. Any ideas of what goes on? (BTW, have already checked if the sites are down and no, they are not down).

How to stop BOBJ 4.1 SP4 to not prompt for the latest JAVA update

Currently our my users are on a version of Java that is supported with BOBJ 4.1 SP4. Each time Java releases a new security update, users are being prompt to update Java to its latest version. We cannot go beyond this current version as it will break other applications within our business. This isn't the first time I have seen this behavior with an application, in the past we have asked Kronos to accommodate this request from within their code which they were able to do.
This is definitely at the application level, its not as if I can go into 'Control Panel >> Java' and update this change there, the applications overrides this. After opening a case with SAP support, we are now being told this needs to be handled by the development team, that it is not in scope of support nor is supported. They mentioned that SAP Development Consultants also can assist with such a custom setting like this.
Can someone please assist?
Bill

Svatos,
As of Sept 2014, if you are running IE 8 or higher you will now get another pop-up is JAVA is NOT updated. The NEW pop-up is Microsoft vs SUN issue, it has nothing to do with SAP anymore.

Installed the latest Java update today on my older iMac and now it won't boot up at all. 2007 model worked fine this morning, now disk first aid say boot blocks f'ed.

I am using an older mid 2007 imac 24 inch running snow leopard 10.6.8
I normally accept software update recs, and today when installing the security update to java, all went fine till restart, when I got the universal "NO" sign, the circle with the line through it and just spinning gray bars underneath.
Booted from system disks, ran first aid, said the boot block partitions or something like that needed updating but disk appears to be ok. Still not working.
Do you think Alsoft Disk Warrior will fix? I am running off external back up drive now.
Thanks for any help or advice. Apple as usual is as useless as tits on a bull, or a screen door on a submarine, pick your simile...

If your backup's up to date it might be less hassle to erase the internal and clone back from the backup. Don't allow the update next time it appears - you're not the only one having problems it would seem.
Note; the message "updating boot partitions" is a standard message that appears after a repair run. It won't go away and should be ignored.
Provided the message "The volume Macintosh HD Seems to be OK" in green has appeared, your disc fle system is fine.

Anyone else having problem with the latest JAVA update?

I'm not sure if it comes from Apple this or flip4mac. But anyway it said the other day, we think you should have this update it will make things work better. So I thought, what the heck, I might as well. Only, since I've installed the update I've have nothing but problems with the online games at yahoo. Keep getting stale pages, wont load that sort of thing. It's very frustrating, certainly since you have to type the screwed up letters on the screen everytime, and they are barely legible to the human eye most times.

Latest Java Update Loses JarBundler, Breaks Some Bundled Java Apps

Hi all,
I installed the latest Java update this morning. After installation, the "Jar Bundler" program was gone, and I had to re-install Xcode to get it back.
Also, one of my bundled java apps now no longer works. I can launch the same code from the command line using "java -jar <my jar file name>", but launching the same bundled jar file gives the following console error:

I have discovered my problem and solution.
The JavaApplicationStub file in the app bundle was configured to run x86_64 which the library does not support. This is apparently new to the latest release of Java.
In order to solve the problem, use the lipo tool. Here is what I did:
lipo -remove x86_64 JavaApplicationStub -output JavaApplicationStub
In addition it is also recommended that the LSArchitecturePriority key be added to the info.plist. I added the following to the main properties:
<key>LSArchitecturePriority</key>
<array>
<string>i386</string>
<string>ppc</string>
</array>
This specifies the allowed architectures in their preferred order.

New Apple Java update breaks jnlp file association

I thought this might be helpful for other people experiencing this problem.
It seems that the latest Java update for Macs (10.5 update 4) breaks the file association for jnlp files. When you use one it opens up a text editor. To make matters worse they have moved the location of Web Start.
The only way we have been able to fix this is:
1. Control-click the jnlp file that was downloaded to the desktop and select Get Info
2. Click Open with and select Other.
3. At the top of the window select All Applications in the Enable box.
4. Browse to /System/Library/CoreServices and select Java Web Start.
5. Click the Always Open With checkbox at the bottom.
6. Click the Add button.
7. Double-click the jnlp file on the desktop which should now launch the workbook.
If anyone else has some more information or another solution, then please reply here.

Thank you so much for this. I didn't find this post the first time I searched on this problem, and I was mired down in versions-specific directories with javaws--which appears only as a link that cannot be used as an association.
MUCH appreciated!

Safari won't load pages after latest java update

I did the java update last night and now there are a lot of web pages that don't load. I also tried Firefox and Opera so I believe it is the latest Java update not something else.
Is there a log some where that I can check to see if there are any error messages or other indications of what is actually happening?
Java for MAC OS X 10.6 Update 1

HI,
If you are running 10.4.8 then you need to update your system software to 10.4.11. And make sure you have the 2009-002 Security Update installed. Open System Preferences/Software Updatess - Installed Updates. Make sure that update is there. If not go here and download and install ...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And ... from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences - Security.
Where you see: Web content make sure the top 3 buttons are selected.
And ..
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
