Update Java on my mac

Hi,
How do I update Java on my Mac?
Can anyone please describe the difference between Java and Java applet (do I need to update both)?
I´ve tried to see if I can find Java inn app store but I can´t find it.
Regards
Morten

I did find it under:
System Preferences
and the Java.
Updateing now. But should I disable the Java version 6?

Morten

  • HT1338 I need updated Java 6 on Mac os 10.6.

    I am a photographer, and I have just learned today that I can not place a order to my printing comany due to Java- I did upgrade to the updated jave that Apple lead me to. But still no luck. The software that I have to use in order to get my jpig files downloade to my printer co. roeslunch.com. This software to run takes Jave 6. I really needs some help here with this porblem. I also call my printing company and they told me that it was something to with Apple and Oracle and that they should be a up date in 48hrs. Would someone please set up and give me some help. Thanks

    First, Java on the web is inherently unsafe. You need a plan to eliminate it from your workflow permanently. That may mean switching to a photo finisher with a competent web designer. Only an incompetent one uses Java today.
    Apple has a new release of Java 6 in beta testing. If you must, you can register for a free developer account and download the beta from the link below. It may or may not work.

    When the new version of Java is released to the public, you may have to erase your boot volume and reinstall OS X in order to install it. The beta is not intended for use on production systems.

    I am running 10.6.8 and I have discovered the latest Java is causing serious problems with Firefox to the point I will get a grey screen.  After I reboot and look at the crash log, it is always firefox that is the issue but I am having different issues with Google.   Sadly to say, there are a number of other apps that either launch then fail or do nto work at all since the latest Java update.  Is there a way to go back?

  • ColdFusion 8 Fails to start after update Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 4

    I have been using ColdFusion on a Mac for years. Now CF fails to start after I updated Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4. I usually start by typing in the terminal window sudo /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin/ColdFusion start.
    There is a crash report but I don't know how to read it. See attached.
    Please help, I need this working for my job.
    Thanks...Colin

    Dear Craig,
    Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM
    I'm sure that this is 64-bit
    CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
    I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
    correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.
    Last login: Thu Jun 18 11:27:09 on ttys001
    Beta-4:~ Colin$ java -version
    java version "1.6.0_13"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)
    Beta-4:~ Colin$
    CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
    see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the
    message process is completed in the terminal window CF disappears in the
    activity monitor.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi, Colin,
    My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
    (Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
    did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
    To start, try the following:
    1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
    2. Open Java Preferences again
    3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
    Plugin and Applications)
    4. Open Terminal
    5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
    6. Try to start CF again
    This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
    supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
    default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
    and easier).
    If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
    folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
    /Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
    is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
    yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
    necessary!
    Best,
    Craig

  • HI,  I need to jre 1.6 update 26 on my mac system to make some aaplication work. However latest available is jre 1.6 update 29. Could you suggest how I can get jre 1.6 update 26? I tried downloading older version on java. COuldn't find it on your site.

    What are you missing?
    I inherited this app and signing the third party jars is how it was setup, I was wondering the same thing too, why was it necessary to sign the third party jars?
    The applet runs in either JRE 1.6.0_13 or JRE 1.6.0_27 depending on the other Java apps the user uses. JRE 1.6.0_13 does not have the mixed code security (so it is like is disable), but JRE 1.6.0_27 does have the mixed code security and the applet will not launch with mixed code security enable, so we have to disable it. With all the hacking going on in the last two years, is important to improve security; so this is a must.
    Yes, I always clear up the cache.
    Any idea on how to resolve this problem?

  • Failed update: "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6"

    In successfully updating to OS X 10.4.11 from 10.4.10 the subject java update, "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6", came up from Software Update. In trying to install it, it stalled at the very end of the installation. It again failed on a second try. Later on, using Spotlight, I checked my existing Java version to already be Java 1.4.2 plug-in settings -- the target update from java 1.4. Do I really need this Java Release 6? I'm running Sarafi 3.0.4 and Netscape 7.2. Thanks.

    I'd be suspicious about an aborted partial install myself, have you tried the stand alone installer?
    I'd Verify the HD, Repair Permissions, then get...

  • Illustrator CC2014 crashes at launch on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), I've updated Java and it still crash

    Hi!
    I need kelp, Illustrator CC2014 crashes at launch on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), I've updated Java and it still crash.
    Then I moved to a different carpet plugin files that look like this and didn't worked.

    I have no idea about the second part of your question but as for Java you need to install the Apple Java for OSX 2014-001. Look for it on the Apple site.

  • Can't update java on mac os 10.5

    It has come to my attention that Apple's imbecile policy on Java updates prevents users of Mac OS 10.5 and under from updating their Java to the current version, thereby exposing them to potential risks due to known vulnerabilities in the outdated Java.
    Apple, in their misguided wisdom have decided that the ONLY way these users can correct their Java issues is to pay Apple for an upgrade to Mac OS 10.6 or higher. This policy is moronic. Users should not be forced to fork out money because of Apple's inability to support their own products - I mean, the Apple update still runs on 10.5 and updates are still released for this OS, so why end support for Java updates?
    Apple, explain yourself.

    Apple do not contribute to these forums.
    The final Java update for older PPC Macs running Leopard was:
    Update 10, 29 June 2011 - This release updates J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updates Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26. J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update. Support for out-of-process Java applets on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has been removed with this update.
    This release is only for Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later versions of Mac OS X 10.5. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
    and for Snow Leopard:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1360
    Note: Java 1.6 for Leopard is 64 bit only (i.e. for Intel macs only), but for Snow Leopard it is available for both 32 and 64 bit.
    http://www.roguish.com/blog/?p=266
    But since August 2012 updates for Java (and especially Java Runtime Environment, which is what you actually need) must now be downloaded direct from Oracle:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1637588.h tml
    Further information here:
    http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/1735645
    The risks associated with Java did not affect PPC Macs, and further security updates have been issued for Intel Macs, including those running Leopard.
    The best thing to do is to disable Java in Safari Preferences, but NOT Java Script, which is something completely different.

  • After update June 28 of security and Java on 17in mac bk pro laptop cannot startup

    After June 28 security and Java updates my 17 in mac book pro will not start up properly..I get a screen with text on the side and a window telling me to press the sart button to shut down and then press again to start up...( a gray panel comes down over the page before the window appears)...I have tried the install disc and done the disc and permissions repair...permissions repair could not repair "System/Library/Core Services/Remote Management ARDAgent/Contents/Mac OS/ARDAgent" a SUID file. What can I do?

    Try to get into your machine and if you do, the first thing you do is backup your files to a external drive. (not TimeMachine) via regular drag and drop methods.
    Disconnect this drive. and all others.
    You can then c boot off the installer disk for your OS version and under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility > Repair Disk
    Also you can totally reinstall OS X, shouldn't effect your programs or files (but backup all files just in case)
    If that don't work, c boot off the installer disk again, this time use Disk Utility to Erase >format HFS+ Journaled with Security option > Zero All Data (will take some time) This will totally wipe the drive of everything and is a last ditch effort.
    When it's done quit, and reinstlal OS X.
    You'll have to go through the setup and reinstall your programs and files from backup. Secret is use the same user name and drive name as the previous time so your iTunes folder will work without a hitch.
    If you restore from TimeMachine, it's possible whatever problem you had can return, but you can try and if it doesn't work, just repeat above without TimeMachine.
    Later look at free Carbon Copy Clone your boot drive to a external HFS+ Journaled formatted drive and keep in a safe place, it hold option bootable, great if your hard drive bites it, or TimeMachine gets hosed. TM isn't bootable.

    I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.

    If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
    There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
    If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again.

    über die sofwareaktualisierung gefundene updates lassen sich nicht installieren. während der installation wird diese abgebrochen mit dem hinweis, daß ein fehler aufgetreten ist. auch das löschen der update prefs und caches brachte nichts.

    It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first.  Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue.  Thanks anyway.
