Sure, it's been in every newspaper and network TV news. Java browser plugins below v1.7.10.19 are vulnerable to exploitation and have been disabled by Apple, Firefox & Chrome.  You either need to update your installation to Oracle's Java 7 update 11 or do without.

  • Java Plug Ins

    What is the security problem with Java plug ins and do I need to disable Java plug ins on my Mac computers?

    The newly discovered zero-day flaw in Java 7 is so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned users to disable or uninstall it, and Apple has disabled the Java 7 plugin on Macs through its OS X anti-malware system, in order to protect users from a potentially serious security issue.
    You should disable Java (if not already done) until either the US Department of Homeland Security, or Oracle, declare it safe and Apple restore the facility. Javascript should not be disabled (it has nothing to do with Java).
    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.

  • Should I remove Java plug-ins?

    I've heard there's a security problem with Java plug-ins.  Should I remove them from my MacBook?  If so how?

    Thanks for the help.

  • What are the best plug ins for iMovie 11 running on Lion?

    What are the best plug ins for Imovie 11 or Imovie HD running  Lion? Especially transitions & effects for still pictures.
    Thank you

    Hi
    For iMovie'08 to 11 - There are no Plug-ins - not supported at all
    iMovie HD (in reality HD5) - doesn't work under Mac OS X.7 - at all
    iMovie HD6 - can take Plug-ins and run under Mac OS X.7 - BUT some of the Plug-ins doesn't work under X.7
    old list on - Plug-ins - Only relevant to  iMovie HD6 (May be they are too old)

  • Does Mountain Lion (10.8.4) come with SharePoint plug-ins, or did I just install these?

    I did a custom installation of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my MacBook Air running 10.8.4., but I changed my mind and decided to uninstall it.
    I only installed Word, Excel, and Proofing Tools (English only).
    I'm reading up on how to fully remove all the tidbits Microsoft sprinkled about, and I noticed a couple files on my system:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointBrowserPlugin.plugin
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointWebKitPlugin.webplugin
    I didn't include SharePoint in the installation, so I'm not sure that's where these files came from. It's a new machine, so the only alternative is that they were included with OS X 10.8.4, in which case I'm inclined to leave them be.
    Does anybody know more about these files, where they likely came from?

    AFAIK OS X 10.8.4 does not come with SharePoint plug-ins. Those are from Microsoft and are most likely added by SilverLight.
    I am running OS X 10.10.1 and Office 14.4.6 and I do not have SilverLight installed... I do not have those two plug-ins you mention. Thus I don't believe Office for the Mac 2011 loaded them.
    Hope that helps

  • JAI extension automatic installation fail with Java Plug-in 1.4.1_01

    Hi everyone,
    i have a html page with an applet that use the JAI (Java Advanced imaging) extension. I used to run it with java plug-in 1.3.1_03.
    When the JAI extension was not installed, it was automatically downloaded and installed. I use the sun "Signed Auto Installation for browsers" jar available on the JAI download page.
    But with Java Plug-in 1.4.1_01, it seems to have a security problem. Is the "Signed Auto Installation for browsers" only java plug-in 1.3 compatible or is there a way to install it with 1.4.
    If anyone has encountered the same problem with another extension, it could help me to know how to have it installed automatically with java Plug-in 1.4.
    I tested on IE 4 and 6 on Windows NT4 & IE 6 on Windows 2000, and i have the same results.
    Thanks
    Philippe

  • Why won't Adobe flash load and why am I now left with blocked plug ins ?!!

    Yesterday I received a demand via Safari to download latest version of Adobe flash player.
    I did so and immediately found my system virtually unusable, with blocked plug ins at every turn. Neither has the flash player actually installed, despite constant attempts.  I have removed previous versions, etc, restarted the Mac etc, taken every bit of advice going.
    24 hours later and having wasted nearly a whole day,  I am still left with a Mac with applications I cannot now access which were running to perfection before trying to download Adobe flash player.   Hugely frustrating and annoying.

    I had a different issue in that the install hung at 95% but I used a manual install and that fixed the problem. See if this works for you as it appears that the installer is buggy.
    Use the "Manual Install" mode. Control-click on Install Adobe Flash Player.app
    "In the Contents/Resources folder, you’ll find a file named Adobe Flash Player.pkg. Double click it"
    That worked.
    Just to mention, you do not need to restart the system after installation

  • If I uninstall my 2 Java plug ins, how will I find them again to re-install?

    if I uninstall my 2 Java plug ins, how will I find them again to re-install? It seems when I updated them, it's telling me to update again:
    Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.240.7
    NPRuntime Script Plug-in Library for Java(TM) Deploy Vulnerable (more info) Update Now
    Plugin Icon
    Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U24
    Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_24 for Mozilla browsers Vulnerable (more info) Update Now
    Then it tells me this:
    This plugin version has a security vulnerability that websites can exploit and potentially harm your computer. It is recommended that you update this plugin or if an update is not available, disable it.
    For more information, read the plugin vendor's vulnerability information.

  • HT202213 Homesharing. I had my iTunes set up to play music through my receiver & speakers upstairs. I have airport with RCA plug ins to my receiver auxiliary jacks. Homesharing is on & everything checks out but it no longer works. Any suggestions?

    I had my iTunes set up to play music through my receiver & speakers upstairs. I have airport with RCA plug ins to my receiver auxiliary jacks. Homesharing is on & everything checks out but it no longer works. Any suggestions? I have no firewall & I have removed Smith clean program to fix this issue. I am running OS 10.8.2

    I called AppleCare this morning and Sean helped me out in a huge way. In all of my attempts, I had not done a factory-default reset on the main base station and apparently some sort of endless loop had occurred between those two stations. Sean was very helpful and patient with me, but now the system is working as promised. Moral of this story is if a factory default rest doesn't help on the "problem" base station, try resetting all of the units.

  • Problems with InDesign Plug-ins in CS6

    Every time I launch InDesign CS6 a bunch of pop-up boxes appears. They all have to do with some plug-ins it cannot register. I think this causes the sudden shut down of the program when I want to pick a different color.?
    Anybody knows how to fix this?
    These are the plug-ins it concerns:
    Color Picker Panel plug-in
    Swatches Panel plug-in
    Transparency UI plug-in
    Find and Change Panel plug-in
    I am certain that the plug-ins are in the right folders, however it does not work...
    Thanx

    See Replace Your Preferences and if that doesn't do it, see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup for a list of other things to delete from the original account.
    When all else fails, rename the Adobe folders in your user library (remmber, there are TWO folders, anf they're hidden, so see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion) and copy the ones from the guest account.

  • What can I do to stop Logic from crashing with my plug-ins??

    I'm running...
    Logic Pro v9.0.0
    2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac
    2GB RAM
    Native Instruments KOMPLETE 5 plugins (mainly Battery3 and Electrik Piano)
    I have no problem with latency in audio recording and never even get crashes when using Logic plug-ins or running a lot of tracks at once.
    But when I use the Native Instruments plug-ins and start turning some knobs on their interface, Logic quits without warning.
    This isn''t all the time. But it does happen frequently, especially when running multiple plug-in instruments.
    I can still get work done if I hit save all the time but it is getting more frustrating as my song grows larger.
    Is there any sort of setting in Preferences that would help me with this?
    I just ordered another GB of RAM. Do you think that will help at all?
    What should I do? The KOMPLETE 5 instruments are too good to go without.
    Thanks.

    I ran Activity Monitor while opening a few projects in Logic. And it seems that I only have about 560MB of RAM left to play with once the song loads. Before I open Logic I have about 1.5GB of RAM that is free. So yeah, I think this is the problem.
    When I get my RAM in the mail, I'll try going plug-in crazy and see what happens. And then I'll post back here with the results for anyone that may be reading this in the future.
    But thanks for letting me know about Activity Monitor. I learn something new about my mac everyday. God bless.

  • Unable to open Livecycle forms even with latest plug-ins

    Hi guys,
    I have a created a few dynamic forms designed using livecycle designer ES..In order for my users to open these forms, they need to have atleast Adobe acrobat / reader version 8.1 or higher to view these dynamic files. However, quite a few of my users are saying that they are still unable to open these forms directly from their browser although they have downloaded the latest Acrobat X version and the browser plug-ins in their computer. It happens to both windows and mac computers. But they are able to download these files and open it directly from their adobe reader though. It happens with all browsers for them...some of them have even called up mac support as well as adobe support and they were advised that it could be a problem with my forms that I find hard to believe since it opens in my computer and opens for a lot of other users. Its only a few users still having difficulties and I can't understand why!
    Also, I recently uploaded a dynamic file in acrobat file sharing. Why am I getting the below message when I have the latest adobe installed? I am able to open other dynamic forms in my browsers..why does this happen? I wonder if other user's problem is similar to this...not sure...
    To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from etc...etc...etc..
    What can be the problem when the adobe version is already updated and also the plug-ins are updated too?? I have read a lot of links in adobe site itself which suggest various methods to test out the forms, browsers, plug-ins, etc..but this problem still happens to some users even after trying out these troubleshoots. Can someone explain if there are other limitations or solution for these users?

    I don't have an answer. However, since your question is not about Acrobat forms, but Designer forms, you need to ask in the LiveCycle forum that deals with Desginer forms.

  • Forms 10gR2 printing issue with Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21

    Hi All,
    I replaced Jinitiator by Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21. I’m using forms 10gR2. I modified formsweb.cfg file and most of the other functionality work fine. I overwrote the default functionality of the menu item ‘Print Button’ by the following java script
    *'File name :- print.html'*
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Print</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    font-family:"arial";
    color: #303030;
    </style>
    </head>
    <body onload="printsetup();">
    <div style="border: 1px solid; padding:10px">
    <div style="font-size:larger;text-decoration:bold;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:center">Print capture beginning. Please wait...</div>
    <div style="text-align:center">(This window will close automatically.)</div>
    </div>
    <script>
    function printform()
    window.opener.print();
    window.close();
    function printsetup()
    window.resizeTo(600,250);
    var t=setTimeout("printform()",1000);
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    It was working fine with Jinitiator since I installed java sun I always receive the following error message
    Line: 19
    Char: 1
    Error: 'window.opener' is null or not an object
    Code: 0
    URL: http://localhost.domain:port/forms/webutil/start/print.html.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Walid

    The problem you are both reporting is unclear. If I understand at all what you are doing, it would seem that you are calling window.opener, but the window has no name. In newer browser versions (I believe IE 7 and newer) what I think you are trying to do won't work anymore. Take a look at this:
    http://msmvps.com/blogs/paulomorgado/archive/2007/11/02/how-to-close-browser-windows-in-windows-internet-explorer-7.aspx
    Also check out MyOracleSupport Note 865745.1
    The example in the note has been tested with Forms 10.1.2.3 and 11.1.1.4 using 1.6.0_23 in IE8 and FF3.6 and appears to work correctly.
