What verson of java do I need to download for Mac OS X 10.5.8?

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:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1637588.h tml
Further information here:
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/1735645
and their FAQ’s:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/mac-faq.html
However, if you need the Jave 6 JRE and plug-in, MadMAC0 has posted at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20107182?ac_cid=tw123456#20107182
Apple has also posted (Oct 22/12) the approved solution for restoring the Java 6 plug-in:
Java for OS X 2012-006: How to re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 applet plug-in and Web Start functionality.
Interesting article here on why Apple removed Mac browsers’ ability to run Jave Applets:

  • 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.

  • I need internet explorer for mac, what should I do?

    I need internet explorer for mac, what should I do?

    There is no Internet Explorer for the Mac, only for Windows.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • HT4854 What size does the recovery partition need to be for Lion or Mt Lion?

    What size does the recovery partition need to be for Lion or Mt Lion?

    Maybe I'm approaching the problem the wrong way. My problem is that I installed a new HDD in my laptop after cloning it to a backup drive, and I wanted to install the OS after formatting the drive using Disk Utilities from my desktop machine. Since I had Lion installed from the App Store as a paid download, I thought I'd start with a freshly downloaded install of Lion, but I can't access the internet directly with my laptop since it has no OS or apps. So I'm downloading Lion to my desktop machine hoping to install it on my laptop as a Target HD. Is that possible? Does the App Store download allow choosing which drive to install on?

  • Need SAP GUI for Mac and process of how to install and configure

    Hi Experts,
         I need SAP GUI for Mac. Also please explain the process of how to install, how to configure etc? Please help me.

    You can download the SAP Presentation DVD that will have the SAPGUI Java version for OS X. After you install, just run the app from the Application Folder.
    For config there are a few options:
    1. To connect to a DI directly. After starting the app, click new and under the "Advanced" tab use the following string:
       conn=/H/(hostname)/S/(port / 3200 for instance ID 00)
    2. To connect to a login group. After starting the app, open the "Preferences" / Configuration / Messageservers, you need to set a path to a file that has the message servers in the following string
    (SID) :     /M/(hostname)/S/(message server port)
    Then click "New" and on the first tab you can choose a system and login group.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank
    matt

  • What is the best online backup system to use for Mac?

    What is the best online backup system to use for mac?

    By online, do you mean backup to the cloud, where you pay a monthly fee for the service to host your data?
    If this is the case, then there are a lot of services (do not know them all, but DropBox, CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, SugarSync, come to mine, and that is not a complete list.
    There are also services that allow you to backup over your home network or across the internet to your own storage.  CrashPlan has this option (for free), and Transporter come to mind.  CrashPlan talks to another computer also running CrashPlan that you own or have some control (could even be a friend or relatives computer).  Transporter is hardware that you either provide some storage of your choice, or they will sell the unit with storage.
    I'm mostly a CrashPlan to my own storage user.  I backup to a Mac mini for my Mom (300 miles away) and Wife (she is local )
    Can clarify your exact desires or needs.

  • IPod is formatted for windows but i need it formatted for mac

    i just got my iPod a couple days ago used from best buy and hooked it up from my mac not aware that it was formatted for windows. when i try to restore my iPod it just freezes up my computer. do i really need it formatted for mac in order to get good performance?

    Right. If you restored it in Windows the iPod will still be formatted for Windows.
    Now see if you can restore it on your mac.
    Also, know that Windows-formatted iPods work fine in Mac OS X. The only "problem" is that you cannot update the iPod's software on your mac if another software version is released. You would have to do that through Windows.
    If you plan on using your iPod with both Operating Systems, you may want to keep it formatted for Windows.

  • What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop?

    What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop?  You click on "Download free trial" and it takes you to a page that takes you to a forum… nothing happens.  I've done this about 6 times on two browsers.  Of course, there's no help from Adobe, so I'm trying this forum.  Thanks!

    Thanks very much for a prompt reply!  Much appreciated. Unfortunately, that's exactly the page I was on. And I used both Firefox and Safari and got the same page, with the same nothing...
    As this forum doesn't allow attachments, I'll cut and paste the page here (there's not much):
    Keep learning
    Whether you're new or a pro, we're always making Photoshop better.

    That's all that's on the page.  No buttons, URLs, menus… nothing.  And just to confirm, the URL  is as you gave: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/photoshop
    Something's fishy...

  • TS3297 What do I do if music files purchased/downloaded for the iTunes store don't work properly?

    What do I do if music files purchased/downloaded for the iTunes store don't work properly?

    Buddhabeat...clicking on the "Report a Problem" button next to the song(s) in question, should open a drop-down list menu, that allows you to select the specific issue/area of concern that you are experiecing (or you can select a generic "My problem is not on the list" (or something to that effect). Underneath this drop-down menu box, there should be another message box where you can describe  the issue/problem your having. Below this message box will be a "Submit" button...clicking on that will send your message to the Apple iTunes Store Customer Support Centre (you will see a confirmation message that your message has been sent), as well as receive an email notification from the Support Centre confirming your message has been received, a case number, and that you will receive an email response pertaining to the issue/problem you're having, from the Support Centre asap (usually within 24 hours). That's how it worked for me, anyhow.
