Using Lion, how 'safe' is it to play pogo games that use Java?

I currently use Chrome as default browser with Java disabled - hence the question as I am unable to play pogo online games.
Is it safe to do so? Are there any safety tips I should take please?

In general you are exposing yourself to risk any time you enable Java, regardless of whether it is on Pogo or any website. The current version of Java is "secure", but it is a common target for malware threats, etc.
That being said, plenty of people play Pogo with no issues, my recommendation would be enable Java to play the games and then disable it once you are done.

    You'll have to buy a Windows 7 disk and use BootCamp

    i have a amd raedon 675m 512mb graphic card( not sure abt the name)
    Good card for a Mac, but there are far better one's on Windows, also you can't upgrade it.
    3D games need newer cards every couple of years or even sooner to keep up with good games and competition online
    Better to buy a Windows machine than try fitting Windows on a Mac.

  • Can i play pogo games on a new mac ?

    can i play pogo games on a new mac ?

    Yes,There Are Ways You Can Play Windows Games On A Mac,It`s Called The W.I.N.E. Project And The WINE Project Allows You To Operate Windows Programs On A Mac And Linux System.Remember That The WINE Project Can Be Unstable At Times,And May Cause Your Mac To Freeze Up.The Best Way To Play Windows Games On A Mac Is By Using Something Called VMware Unity.It`s An Emulator That Can Emulate 3D Windows Games.Below Is Some Instructions On How To Get It And Set It Up.
    -------VMWare Unity
    1.Go To The Official Vmware Website And Go To The Vmware (Mac) Section.
    2.Find The VMware Workstation For Mac And Download It.
    4.After Downloading VMware,Install It.
    5.Open Vmware Workstation
    6.Before You Create A New Virtual Machine,You Need To Have A Clean Copy Of Windows XP Or Higher.
    7.After That,Create A New Virtual Machine That Has Enough RAM And CPU To Emulate The Game You Want To Play.
    8.Start The Virtual Machine And Install Windows.
    9.After Installing Windows On The Virtual Machine And Your On The Windows Desktop,Install The VMware Additions.
    10.After That,ALWAYS RESTART THE VIRTUAL MACHINE.
    11.Install The Game You Want,Have A CD or ISO Image.
    12.After Installing The Game,Start The Game In The Emulator And Look For A Button That Says "Unity Mode" And Click It.
    13.After That,All The Applications You Were Running In The Virtual Machine Will Go Right To Your Mac Dock And You Can Play The Game Right On Your Mac Desktop.
    14.When Your Finished With Your Game,Close It And Open The Main VMware Application And Click "Stop Unity" And It Will Restore All Programs To Virtual Machine Desktop And There You Can Power Off Your Virtual Machine.
    Vmware Is Way More Stable Than The WINE Project And I Suggest Trying That.If You Need Some Help With This On Your Mac Then Add [email protected] To Your Contacts And I Can Help You Set It Up On TeamViewer.I Hope This Helps And Tell Me If It Does!

  • Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3?

    Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3?  After I purchased games for my son's ipod, they would not upload due to ios.  How can I update that without purchasing a new touch?

    iOS 4.3 requires a third generation or newer iPod touch; you don't need to buy a brand new device in any case.

  • Can'nt play pogo games because I need java download, when I try to download it gives a error saying time out. when I check pluggins it say retry at a later time?????????

    My OP system is Windows XP, Internet Net Zero, Browser is Mozilla Firefox.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • Can I play the games that I purchased on my ipad on my imac?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if I am able to play the games that I purchased on an older ipad on my iMac that I now have?   If, I can how do I get the games downloaded from the ipad to the iMac onto my iMac?  Any help that someone would be very appreciated!
    Thank you,
    donna

    You can't play iOS games on desktop computers - there aren't iOS simulators for casual people.
    Nevertheless, some games (Chopter 2, Angry Birds etc.) have a desktop (OS X) version of the same game. Some can even play multiplayer with the iOS version. They, generally, aren't very pricey either.

    Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release. Firefox 3.6.15 will fix the issue with some Java applets not working, which has caused many Pogo games to stop functioning.

    Pogo games plays on Java - the last version of Firefox 3.16.14 has a bug that does not support Java - I have been instructed by Pogo to install an earlier version of Firefox. How do I do that?

  • How can I play Windows games that require CD on mac mini bootcamp?

    Hey!
    So have a brandnew optical drive-less mac mini, and have Windows 7 installed as bootcamp partition. Want to play a game on the Windows side but it requires a CD be in the drive to play - which, obviously, I don't have. I tried Carbon Copy Cloner to a USB stick - it worked for the installation but not the game play. Any suggestions how I get an image to mount that the Windows Bootcamp will recognize? Is it possible to mount the CD as a shared disk on my G5 elsewhere on my network or should I just stick to Daemon Tools or MagicISO stuff on Windows. If the latter - how do I get the data from a USB stick mounted as a disk image then (do I need to copy it to the local, then create a disk image and then copy to that image for example?)
    I can see this is going to be a problem for all sorts of other things I still have "legacy" I can see so any help on this will carry forward, thanks.

    Yeah, I know, but the whole idea of moving away from disks isn't such a bad one - so I'm wondering if I can implement it someway - I have the original copy disks so it's not about pirating them to play games but ripping them the right way so they work... hmmm.

  • I cannot play Pogo games for the past two days, get various reasons and cannot talk to someone who will help

    I am a member of Club Pogo and the past two days have been unable to play the games by using Firefox. The most frustrating thing is that I am old, cannot follow ALL of the instructions and feel I need to talk to a real live person to take me step by step to the proper categories so I can once again play my games without all of this hassle. PLEASE send me a phone number so I can enjoy my games.

    Pogo games usually use the Java plugin.

  • Why cannot play pogo games, they dont load?

    i can play some games, but others i cant, ive tried every fix online, but nothing works. im ready to cancell my pogo subscription. i know they are having trouble!

    Hello,
    Starting in Firefox 24, all versions of the Java plugin are "Click to Play" blocked, meaning that you have to click to activate Java for each site. See the [[How to enable Java if it's been blocked]] article for more information.
    '''Note:''' To make sure that your Java plugin is working, you can visit the test pages listed in the article, [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]]. If an "Activate Java" message box appears, click inside the box to activate the Java plugin.
    When you see the "Activate Java" message box, simply click it to load the Java content normally.
    <br><br>
    [[Image:Fx24-JavaActivate]]
    If there is no visible area to activate Java content in the page, click the red plugin icon in the address bar. In the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now" to enable Java content temporarily.
    <br><br>
    [[Image:Fx24-JavaAllowNow]]
    <br><br>
    The next time you visit the site or any other that uses Java you will see this message again.
    If you want to always activate Java for a particular site, you can use the "Allow and Remember" option shown above.
    After activating Java, you may also see a "Security Warning" dialog box, asking you to confirm that you want to run Java. This warning comes from Java itself, not from Firefox.
    Does this solve your problem? Let us know.
