The steps to enable Java Webstart in OSX Mavericks are not working.

The steps located here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5559 are not re-enabling the Java Webstart for Java 6 in OSX Mavericks.  I have tried all four steps about 20 times and looked at all the settings in all my browsers (chrome, safari, and firefox) and all say "missing plugin" when I go to any website that requires Java -- in this case, the NY Times Crossword Puzzle's "solve with a friend", which is incompatible with Java 7 so upgrading does not help me.  I've tried searching for other answers and all keep directing me to the same four steps that have not worked.
A note, those steps worked when I had the same problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  Should something be altered for Mavericks?
Please advise.

You'll possibly need to remove Oracle Java altogether before, see these notes on their WebSite:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml
After you remove it, go through the steps to re-enable Apple Java again; and, inside Safari, you can also go to its menu and choose "Reset Safari".
Hope this helps.

  • Safari for Mac, webpage with Java applet, drag and drop area not working.

    At my company, we have a web page that our users access to submit media files, (QuickTime, Audio, images...), for transcoding for delivery.  The web page consists of a java applet, with an area that our users drag and drop media file into.
    After updating to Safari 5.1.2, the applet will not work anymore. Instead, the browser will "open" the quicktime and play it, instead of allowing the Java Applet to do it's job.
    CAN I TURN THIS FUNCTIONALITY OFF??
    I read that Safari 5.1.2, (when it was initially released), broke something with the THEN current version of Java, and everyone was awaiting the latest update (build 1.6.0_29) to fix it. Unfortunately, this update did not fix my issue with the functionality of dragging and dropping media files into the web page.
    It seems to me, as if, there is an over-arching functionality setting (or something) that needs to be either turned off, or in some other way DE-prioritized.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for quick reply and help. I am able to drag multiple files but this is giving problem in case of filename with spaces like "abc def.png". Can you please put some thoughts on this.
    DataFlavor uriListFlavor = new DataFlavor("text/uri-list;class=java.lang.String");
                   Reader in = (Reader)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor);
                   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
                   String uriStr;
                   while ((uriStr = br.readLine()) != null)
                       URL url = new URL(uriStr);
                       String category = GalleryUtils.contentsPanel.getCurrentCategoryPath();
                       GalleryUtils.generateILPFromFile(new File(url.getFile()), category);

  • My Macbookpro will not start up.  At first it was showing a gray screen with a flashing folder and question mark.  I went through the steps to repair with disc utility and this did not work.  How do I back up my data, without time machine activated?

    I need to back up my files and date before erasing my drive, but my time machine backup is not coming up.  How do I access my hard drive to back up my files?

    A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
    Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
    Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
    When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
    Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
    You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
    (If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

  • HT1414 Why does the step 2 in syncing my iphone to itunes is not working? Why can it not sync?

    Im trying to sync my iphone to itunes so i can put music in my phone. However, it only goes to step 2 in sync.I want to know why is this happening and what i can do to fix it because i want music on my phone. Then i also tried sending it through bluetooth form my other phone. Nokia N97. So i want to know what to do.PS my phone has no external memory. Hope someone can help me.

    You can't send it by BT.  I assume step to is the Backup step when you sync.  If that's where the sync is stopping, assuming you have Windows, try this:
    Assuming you have Windows:
    Quit iTunes.
    Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu>All Programs>Accessories>right-click "Command Prompt">choose "Run as Administrator")
    Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" (with our the quotes) and press ENTER.
    Reboot your computer.
    Restart iTunes.
    Connect your phone and try syncing again.
    If this doesn't fix it you probably have a corrupt iPhone backup from a previous sync that must be deleted. To do this open iTunes, go to  Preferences, on the Devices tab you will see a list of your backups.  Click each backup and click Delete Backup.  Then connect your phone and try syncing again.

  • When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up.  Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore.  I lost pictures over the last two years.  Cloud and iTunes backup are not working for me.  Help!

    How can I retrieve photos when it says my cloud and iTunes backups are empty or not backed up?
    When I tried to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1, I was forced to choose to restore or back up.  Back up wasn't working so I had no choice but to restore.  I lost pictures over the last two years.  When I tried my cloud, there was nothing.  I would get notifications that my cloud was full, but I thought there would at least be some photos in there.  When I tried to restore a back up, it said the last time was two years ago.  I thought when you're on wifi, it automatically backs up.  I've charged my iPhone into my Macbook a bunch of times, so something should have backed up.  Is there any hope for my photos?

    Sorry no backup - no pictures.
    Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.

  • The toggle-windows shortcut, "command+ ` " for Safari in Mavericks is not working.

    Why? 
    I have checked multiple support sites, and all indicate the same shortcut.  I even tried "adding" the shortcut in the "Application Shortcuts" screen in Preferences.  Did that screw something up lol?
    I'd *really* appreciate figuring this out.  I feel severely handicapped in speed without this, and a "click" is NOT an option, hence, the whole point of keyboard shortcuts. ;-) 
    Thanks!
    MacBook Air (2011?)

    Can I ask if you are testing this between 'Windows' or 'Tabs'?
    This keyboard shortcut will not allow you to switch between tabs.
    Edit: To switch between Tabs, use Command + Shift + "[" or "]".
    Cheers.

    Perhaps you can find an Arabic dictionary for OpenOffice.  That may also work with OS X.

  • Tun miniport adapters are not working and the camera card reader is not working on a T61P.

    The Microsoft tun miniport adapters #4,2, and 3 are not working.  They display code 10 error message. Also the USB  mass storage device (camera card reader) is not working. 
    I have tried to uninstall and update the drivers to no avail.  I have used ThinkVantage Tool Box.  It only lets me know that they are not working.  It does say to reinstall them.  I have tried.  All effort has failed.
    All was find until I ran several updates via ThinkVantage.
    All suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games. 

    Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.   

  • On i-pad, when try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no my request and item not available in the U.S. store. WWJD?

    On i-pad, when I try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no to my request and, "item not available in the U.S. store." My Mac will not use update iTunes to any later version than the one I have because my os is also out of date, but when I try to update that i cant, so what do I have to do?  Please don't tell me I have to buy a new Mac to be up to date.

    On the iOS device you must be logged into the store with the exact same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the service. Go to Setting > iTunes & App Stores and if necessary sign out/in and then enable iTM.

    I ordered my new S5 online and after following the steps outlined in exact order, my old phone no longer works and the S5 will not authenticate.  Now I have no phone and I am becoming frustrating.
    It downloaded all my contacts, photo's with no problem.  I called the number they gave me from my old phone and then turned it off.  I then put the sim card in and charged the phone.  I followed all the setup steps and no I cannot send any text or make any phone calls.  I get a message that they cannot authenticate my phone to dial #8899 but get the same message.

        Hello Notahappycamper1962
    Let's get that S5 up and running! I want you to love the S5! Is the old device powered off? What zip code are you in?
    I look forward to hearing from you and getting this addressed.
