What version of Java do I need? I am running Mac OSX 10.6.3.

What version of Java do I need? I am running Mac OSX 10.6.3 on a MacPro 8 Core. I have downloaded Java Updates 5, 6 and 12 but they won't install. Can anyone offer suggestions?
Many thanks, Harry.

Disable Java (not Javascript) in all your web browsers preferences, that's the attack vector, via java web pages applets.
There is also Java 6 on OS X (10.6) itself already (comes installed) via the Java Preferences in Applications/Utilities folder, leave this on for Java based programs your using.
10.6 can't use Java 7 and Oracle is dropping support for Java 6 this month.
Since your not going to use Java 6 online, then your Java programs should work as long as you don't update.
Don't use Safari online as it hasn't been updated for 10.6 (10.7+ has Safari 6) use Firefox as it does get updates.

    What version of Java do I need to download for Mac OS 10.5.8?

    Since August 2012 updates for Java (and especially Java Runtime Environment, which is what you actually need) must now be downloaded direct from Oracle:

    Apple has also posted (Oct 22/12) the approved solution for restoring the Java 6 plug-in:

  • HT2513 What version of iCal do I need to use with Mac OS X Snow Leopard?  I upgraded to OS X 10.6.3 and my iCal 3.0.8 won't open.

    I just upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 and now my iCal 3.0.8 won't open at all.  What version do I need to or should I upgrade to and where do I find it? 

    The version installed with Snow Leopard since iCal is part of OS X. If you are trying to use iCal from a different drive and version of OS X, then it won't work. If the installed version of iCal in Snow Leopard is the wrong version, then there was a problem. Delete the wrong version then reinstall Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • What version of Safari do I need for Gmail?

    What version of Safari do I need for Gmail? It says my current version (5.1.10) is outdated.

    Any, but if you continue to use an unsupported version, many of Gmail’s features will eventually disappear. Lion and newer contain supported versions of Safari; alternatively, you can switch browsers.

  • How can I check what version of Java Web Start is installed on the client ?

    hi,
    Can anyone tell me how can I check what version of java web start is installed on the client and display a message if the client has not the good version ?
    I mean:
    I'd like all people running my application use java 5 and if someone using java 1.4 try to run the application get a nice screen telling him to download the latest version of Java Web Start.
    Is this possible ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Of course, I put this on my jnlp file,
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.5+"/>
        <jar href="..... "/>
    </resources> But even with that, it doesn't display a nice message but a kind of exception instead.
    Thanks in advance.

  • What version of abobe do i need?

    What version of adobe do i need to have in order to be able to delete pages once a file in pdf?

    Hi Joanna,
    Acrobat Standard can do all the basic editing on a PDF. Acrobat Professional can do everything that Acrobat Standard does, plus it can do a bunch of other functions, few of them is mentioned below:
    Convert PDF files to Microsoft PowerPoint files and update text, tables, objects, and master layouts with ease
    Insert audio, Adobe Flash® Player compatible video, and interactive media for direct playback in Adobe Reader
    Compare and highlight the differences between two versions of a PDF
    Permanently delete sensitive text and illustrations with redaction tools
    The comparison matrix is already shared with you (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html), which contains the detailed product comparison.
    However, it depends on how you want to use the product, if you just want to delete pages from a PDF file, you can use Acrobat Standard for that.
    Please let me know what more you wish to do with the PDF files using Adobe Acrobat, and then I suggest you which Acrobat (Standard or Pro) you should purchase.
    ~ Aditya

  • What version of Adobe do I need?

    What version of Adobe do I need to save fillable forms with the information remaining intact?

    The fillable pdf file are set to either allow u to save the data you enter back to the pdf or it does not.  it doesnt matter which pdf reader you use.  The only way for u to save the fillable infor is if you open it under acrobat, or if you change the setting under acrobat which allows you to save the file with filled data.
    To change the setting of the pdf so the fillable can be save under pdf reader is open it with acrobat and click save-as->reader extended pdf->enable additional features...

  • Upgrade to CS2, what version of photoshop do i need?

    I have just bought Creative suite 2 premium, it is new and sealed, but the seller didnt tell me I would need a copy of photoshop to use this software as an upgrade. What version of photoshop do I need? and could I get away with an elements version of photoshop for the upgrade as this would save me £££.
    Cheers

    CS2 is not vista compatible.
    BTW, shrink-wrap machinery is cheap.
    Thirty-five years ago a company called Sam Goody had unbelievable sales
    on records (now known as vinyl). They were advertised weekly in the NY
    Times and other newspapers. The records came in original sealed
    packages. The chain of Sam Goody stores was eventually convicted of
    bootlegging their disks. That was how they were able to afford their
    sales. They weren't paying the distributors for many of the disks sold.
    I used to buy hardware from another well-known electronics store in NY.
    I always bought new. I was having trouble with a certain company's VCR.
    The VCRs were all shrink-wrapped in original boxes. After returning 5
    VCRs, one of the guards took pity on me and told me that I should stop
    trying to get that model VCR since at this point I was likely getting
    one of the same VCRs that I returned. That was over 20 years ago.
    If shrink-wraping machines were available then---they are probably
    prolific now.
    Shrink-wrap, bar codes, part numbers are no guarantee that something is
    not bootleg. That is why Microsoft goes through great lengths to create
    seals that are hard to replicate. If a deal is too good, there is a
    reason for it. Just a heads up.
