Vista: Old JRE's won't autodownload...

On Vista, with no JRE's installed, I can auto-download any JRE through web start. However, if I later try to run an application that requires a different jre, an error occurs and I am told that I will have to download manually.
So, I have no JRE's installed. I run an application through web start that auto downloads JRE 5u12. Then I try to run an application through web start that requires 5u10 but it won't work and I am told to download 5u10 manually.
Or,
I have no JRE's installed. I run an application through web start that auto downloads JRE 6u3. Then I try to run an application through web start that requires 5u12 but it won't work and I am told to download 5u12 manually.
I've seen discussions on these forums concerning 1.6 JRE's not working but does the same bug apply to older JRE's too?
If anybody knows or can shed more light on this I would appreciate it.

I don't think you can enable/disable a JRE that you don't have installed on the box. So no, it's not enabled but neither is it installed so I don't think that is the issue.
I can download 5u10 just fine when I don't have any other JREs installed. I run into problems downloading 5u10 (or any other JRE for that matter) if I already have a JRE installed. So, if my box only has 5u11 on it I won't be able to auto-download 5u10.

    In iTunes, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.
    There should be a checkbox that says Enable disk use.  Check it and Apply the change.  It should now appear in Windows, when the iPod is connected.
    NOTE:  When Disk Use is enable, you have to eject the iPod (in iTunes) before physically disconnecting it from computer.

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    Do you have access to another Mac?  If so contact the two via a Firewire cable, boot your problem Mac into Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire,, and  try to use Disk Utiltiy from the second Mac to reformat and erase your hard drive.

    The password for wireless network was changed.  Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

    You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
    Suggest you give that a try.

  • Can I use Java Creator 2 with old JRE/JDK 1.4.2_07??

    I am planning to install new Java Creator 2 but I am having JRE and JDK 1.4.2_07 and I am using mysql 3.23.55 and I want to integrate it.
    Currently my OS is Windows XP SP2 platform with processor Intel Centrino 1.4 and RAM 256 MB... I know the ram is not sufficient and i am planning to upgrade it.. but the problem is can i still remain to use the old JRE and JDK 1.4.2_07 and i am also using mysql 3.23.55... all the driver and engine are out to date but can i still use it and integrate it with java creator 2?
    The questions are:
    1) Can I use Java creator 2 with those old engine?
    2) What java compiler or development tools i can use to develop java standalone application?
    Thank you

    When the jar file is expanded within Eclipse, it shows that the mail.jar file is built with 1.5.0; I think? Here is the header contents of the MANIFEST.MF file, note "Created by."

    Implementation-Version: 1.4
    Specification-Title: JavaMail(TM) API Design Specification

    This is causing problems, because anytime I try to use this file, I get signing errors. I have several Web Services built by BAE and Plumtree that are running on 1.4.2; and therefore I am stuck with 1.4.2. I did try to remove the SUN_MICR.* files, thinkning it would resolve the signing issues, but then that caused other problems. I can provide you with code that demonstrates the problem.
    Is there a place where I can get a mail 1.4 jar file built with 1.4.2? that would most likely solve my problems.

    Tanks dominic23, do you think that the dead battery can affect the macbook performance? I do alot of video work, and since the battery died i cannot do a smooth preview of my videos in premiere cs6, seems like a memory problem but it worked fine before the battery issue.

  • Old (11g) Express won't connect to new (11n) Extreme

    My old Airport Express won't connect to my new Airport Extreme. I can see the Express in the Airport Utility, but every time I try to set it up it disconnects me from the internet. It never connects to the Airport Extreme to extend my network so I can use AirTunes. What to do?

    As James points out, the older Express needs to be setup in WDS mode to extend the network.
    A new feature of the new Extreme and Express is a feature called "Allow this network to be extended".
    This should not be confused with WDS setup.
    Apple needs to update their documentation on the new Express units.
    I also feel there should be another category in the forums for Express "g" and Express "n" just like they have for the Extreme units. It has been confusing lately to figure out which Express units people are talking about because they don't mention it in their original post.
    You should be able to have the old Express "g" unit "Join your network"... That you can do between the old Express and the new Extreme... Give that a try just to make sure it works.

  • HT5622 iPhone is stuck on old ID and won't let me change the ID to get into Cloud segment of Settings.  Need to get this straight so I can backup to Cloud before updating to new System

    iPhone is stuck on old ID and won't let me change the ID in settings to get into Cloud.  Want to sync phone to Cloud before updating the Systems.  No such problem on other phone or 2 iPads linked to account.  Help!

    Thanks Bob,
    That was just a typo.
    I have three accounts set up in Mail, one of which, apart my the username which is my son's, has exactly the same settings as the one that isn't working and remember it's affecting all my devices.
    I would feel happier even if I could create a fourth account on my MacBook Pro using what I know to be the correct password for the server but when I try it keeps defaulting to imap type, I don't get an option for Pop which is what I need.
    Oh Bum.

    So I have a IPod 5 and it is not that old, but it won't charge. I have been trying to charge it in my computer and in the wall. The thing is if the iPod is dead it will charge up until it turns on, but then won't charge anymore. This has never happened before.  Please Help!!!

    Not Charge

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • I changed my apple I'd but the iCloud I'd didn't change. Now the old I'd won't take the password

    I changed my apple I'd but the iCloud I'd didn't change now the old I'd won't work-help

    To change your iCloud ID and/or password, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  Deleting the account will only delete the account and any iCloud data from your iPad, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account, when you deleted the existing account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then set up the new account and choose Merge when you turn on data syncing again.
    Also, if you have any photos in your my photo stream album that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll before deleting the account by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • My iPod had music on it previously from my old computer but won't sync the new music I bought on my new laptop? The songs I bought appear in the library, but they won't sync onto my iPod?

    I'm going on a hike tomorrow with my dad and I'd been reluctant to download iTunes on my new laptop but finally decided to install it so I could have new music for the trip.  I bought nearly ninety new songs, all of which appeared in my library, and on my account they are shown with my old songs.  But my iPod isn't syncing the new music?  Really I planned to start from scratch and not have them together, but that would be fine if they would just download.  I don't understand.  They're in my library, but won't download to my iPod.

  • ITunes claims my 5th gen ipod has old software, but won't let me update

    I have two ipods... one an old 3rd gen scroll wheel ipod that just seemed to go kaput... it wasn't showing up in the iTunes source list or on my desktop. So I followed some directions on the apple site to try to restore it:
    "Step 1
    Delete the file using Terminal
    Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
    Type: sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/iPodDriver.kext
    Press Return.
    Enter the administrator account password when prompted.
    Quit Terminal.
    Restart the computer (From the Apple menu, choose Restart).
    Step 2
    Reinstall iTunes
    Download the latest version of iTunes from the iTunes download page.
    Install iTunes.
    Restart the computer after the installation has completed.
    Connect iPod.
    Step 3
    Delete the iPod.plist file
    Remove the following file in the your home directory and launch the iPod updater again
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ipod.plist"
    Anyway none of this worked for my old ipod (I think it's dead) but here's my new problem. Since I did this I plugged in my new ipod, 5th gen black 60g, and I got an error message that said:
    "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the iPod "Honey" because your iPod software is too old. Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click Update to get the latest iPod software update."
    When I went to the Summary page the whole "Version" section is grayed out and it says "Your iPod is up to date."
    What is going on and how can I fix it?
    iPod 5th gen 60g/powerbook g4 1.33ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am having the same problem. I'm wanting to update to iOS 7, the 'Update Now' button is available, but it says I can't download due to no Internet connection. I DO have an Internet connection, but either way it won't let me update. Help!
