Where is java preferences folder?

I am running 10.7.5 and can no longer find my Java preferences in Application>Utilities>Java Preferences.  Is it hidden somewhere else now?

So, where IS the new system Preference Pane for controlling Java settings? Even with Java JRE updates, the folders remain hidden! Thanks for your help.
If you install just the Apple Java updates including the last which was 2012-006 then you will not see the new Java Preference Pane. To get the new one you need to install the Oracle version of Java for Mac which can be downloaded free from http://www.java.com

  • Where are Java Preferences (Applet Runtime Parameters) saved on Mac OS X?

    Hi.
    If you want to modify the Applet Runtime parameters in Mac OS X, you need to use the "Java Preferences" application located under /Applications/Utilities.
    Suppose that I open the "Java Preferences" application, I select a specific JRE version, and I set a runtime parameter of "-Xmx300m" for Applets, in order to increase the max heap size.
    Now, where is this setting saved to?
    Until recent past, these values used to be saved in the <UserHome>/Library/Caches/Java/deployment.properties file.
    But this does not seem to be the case any longer.
    Does anyone knows where are these settings currently saved in Mac OS X? I am currently running Mac OS X v10.5.8 with Java 1.6.0_20 installed.
    Any help / hint would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Marco.

  • Where is the Preferences Folder in Mac OS X 10.9?

    Hi,
    I'm having some problems learning the new operating system Mac OS X 10.9.1. I'm looking for the Preferences Folder or the Library Folder for a User Account. Can anyone tell me where to fine it, please?
    Thank you in advance of your time,
    Mel.

    You can make it permanently visible by going to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • Where is the Preferences folder in Lion?

    It seem as though the Preferences folder has moved in Lion OS X v10.7. Anyone know where I can find it?

    Switch to the Finder and hold down the option key while clicking the "Go" menu to open the User / Library folder.

  • How do I delete Java preferences?

    I have having very inconsistent performance problems with a Java program I am running (MagnumOpus, from Crauswords.com). I would like to know whether it is safe to simply drop the Java Preferences folder into the trash (to rebuild them). I recall this was the "old way" of doing things like this, but that was several Mac versions ago; and I don't recall doing it with a whole folder labelled "preferences." And I've never tried it with Java. My google search of this has not helped me so far.

    You can see my site at Lingobylingo.com., which probably shows what I'm attempting better than I can explain it here. I thank you for the referrals!
    I emailed one of them about whether I can use my own dictionaries, and whether they support foreign characters; and I see that Crossword Forge's latest version does now construct a "standard" type puzzle. I'll have to do a lot more checking before I decide to "switch," because I have spent so much time with the program I am using, and I do know that it is supposed to do what I want--to make theme puzzles which focus on a particular part of learning a language; these must be interactively solvable on the web; they must be bilingual English & Spanish; and they must "look right" with the accents and tildes. And of course, they must be easily accessible for all platforms.
    Even though I'm learning that even many Windows users don't have Java installed; I have been kind of under the impression that Java did the best job when it comes to merging two languages into a program.
    But I will check further. I thank you so much.

  • How can i find java preferences on MAC 10.8.2

    I recently upgraded to the new Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 but I can't find Java preferences anymore. I need to go onto an online banking page but it needs me to adjust some settings through Java Preferences, kindly please inform where can I get to the Java Preferences page?

    The last Java update disabled Java plug-in and removed Java Preferences.app from your Utilities folder.
    You can re-enable Java by follwing this support article

    Or, you can update to Oracle's Java 7 here

  • Fireworks CS5 wont start up in lion (error in preferences folder)

    Ok, after 10 days with out FW CS5 on my new Lion installment. I finally cracked some kind of bug where FW would freeze just after loading and the last text in the CS5 logo was tabs and then the processor would go up to around 81% and just freeze.
    Apple and Adobe, both blame each other and none could give an answer, but to re-install everything, which i just had done. (Man the big dudes are lost sometimes!)
    "My" problem turned, that I seemlessly had a corrupt file in my ~/Library/Preferences/
    But i couldnt figure out which one it was.
    I ran a Terminal plutil -s *.plist and no errors showed up.
    The solution turned out to be:
    Deleted the entire macromedia folder in the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder and now its working.
    macromedia is the name of the old FW creators before Adobe took over.
    So i am guessing there is some kind of error, but who can tell. I cant, adobe cant and apple cant.
    Well hope this helps somebody!

    Hi Folks!
    Its because the macromedia folder is recreated each time flash is used somehow.
    I made an Automator App that
    1) Locates the ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia
    2) Moves the Macromedia Folder to the Trash
    3) Runs Adobe Fireworks CS 4
    So all I need to do is click this Automator App instead of the Fireworks App in my Dock, and then I am sure it will start.
    (I Know that this is not a 100% cool in the end fix, but seems like Adobe are ignoring this error after several of attempts of direct action to tell them.)
    Here is how to build your own automator app that does these three steps for you.
    My finder is in danish, but I translated it in red text for you. Guess its easy to figure out:
    Remember!!! If you are running Adobe Fireworks CS5 then choose that in step 3 instead :-)

  • Help - Safari won't open it just bounces, installed Java 2012-04 but java preferences is not picking it up

    I''m new to the MacBook, I've got a late 2007 model running Lion 10.7.  I installed iLife and removed some junk (software installed from previous user that was not properly licensed) then tried to open Safari.  The icon just bounced and I got the error Safari quit unexpectedly.  I downloaded the new Java that should fix the Flashback Malware issue (I did this because in the log it stated that garbage collection was turned off) onto my thumb drive, installed it on the Mac, opened Java Preferences and it only lists the 32 and 64 bit Java SE6.  So now what???

    Right or control click the Safari app in the Applications folder then click Get Info.
    For Version. If you see 5.1.6 or 5.1.7 updating to Safari 6 may help. Apple has not posted a standalone Safari 6 intaller but there is a workaround.
    Click here >  Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
    Then click the link posted by:  gregoryfromcork
    That will automatically download this file >  Safari6Lion.pkg.download
    Now quit Safari.
    Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
    Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

  • Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

    I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
    I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
    Thank you!

    At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
    There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
    You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
    And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
    And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
    User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
    Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
    Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
    Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
    Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

  • How to add new Java version to Java Preferences?

    Greetings,
    I know Java 7 is not officially supported, but I know it works.
    I built 1.70.jre and put it in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines, but I do not know how to add to  Java Preferences.
    Does anyone know where the list of Java versions is stored and how to add a version to it?
    Thanks

    Fixing the permissions did not fix it.
    I think there  to be a record somewhere of what version are where. That is probably set if you use am installer which I do not have. I only have the file I copied there.
    I found out that typing this in Terminal...
    export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/1.7.jre/Contents/Home
    ...temporarily sets that version to the one being used, but it is only for that Terminal session, and it still does not show in Java Preferences.
    I need to know how to get it into Java Preferences. It might be some command I don't know.

  • What are the text files that suddenly showed up in the Preferences folder?

    I just noticed a group of text files in the Preferences folder that I haven't noticed before. All of them were created within a 3-minute period on 12/31/2008. The names are in sets of 4 or 5 that follow this scheme:
    np_334572current
    np_334572services
    np_334572servicesnew
    np_334572sets
    np_334572system
    The default app to open these is Property List Editor.
    They haven't been modified since they were created, even though I've been adding, deleting, and modifying apps and their preferences since then. Anybody know what they are? Can or should I delete these?
    Thanks in advance.

    Dick,
    To be honest I don't know what program they are related to. However If the files are located in ~/Library/Preferences (Where is ~ = your home directory) Then You should be safe in moving/deleting them, at worst you will have to reset the settings in one of your apps. What that folder is mainly used for is say for example you have your dock show/hide it self. That will be saved to a plist file in the preferences folder. If you delete or move the dock's plist out of there your dock on your next login will go back to the default view of Mac OS.
    Now To be honest you don't have to move/delete those files that are there, especially since at most you will probably reset some of the preferences you set in an application. But its up to you. Also you could always move it first to see what app it is and either move it back or delete it later.
    Hope that helps,
    Weston
