Won't install java 1.8 says version already exists 14.9

I'm trying to create a database in Open Office which I was able to do fine this morning, but now after updating OO it is telling me "no java installation could be found". When I go to oracle to download the latest Java version the machine tells me I already have version 14.9 installed which as far as I can tell from google searching is  not an actual version of Java since every link is in another language. I've gone through the forums to see how to delete the version of "java" that I do have off the machine. Opened the terminal and cut and pasted in the command from this post: When trying to install newest Java, computer says a newer one already exists? But it says I need a password to run the command. There is no solution on this thread. So I'd really love for someone to tell me what the heck give here. (I'm running 10.9.5 and trying to use OO 4.1.1. I've gone through the OO forums to no avail as well.)

How I was able to overcome the Java 14.9.0 problem
My iMac (late 2009) was yesterday updated to  Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and today  I updated Java through Apple Store, which resulted in Java 14.9.0 and it was unable to run.
After researching, I found the following path that was 100% successful to delete Java 14.9.0 and able to install Java 10.8.40.
On the  System Preference for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 go to section: 
1. Personal -> Security Privacy -> Firewall -> turn it off
2. General-> Check "Allow application downloaded from anywhere".
(In case if Norton Firewall is on: check it  Disabled)
On Finder -> Devices -> Macintosh HD and localize Java Applet Plugin.plugin and move it to trash:
Finder -> Devices -> Macintosh HD -> Library -> Internet Plug-Ins -> JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
Go to www.java.com and install Java version 8 update 40.
After following the  steps, verify its installation.
Go back to System Preference and localize in the section Other  "Java Control Panel". Click on its icon and go to Security and check "Enable Java content in the browser".
Check browser to activate Java Plug in: Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons ->Plugins -> Java Applet Plug-in - Java 8 Update 40
Check "Always Activate " or "Ask to Activate"
Hope these paths help you.

    I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

  • HT5318 Won't install 10.6.3 -Says signature not valid

    Won't install 10.6.3 -Says signature not valid. Never had a problem with any updates before. Tried downloading , then installing. wont work.. I'm Stumped...

    Go directly to Apple link to download
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1426
    Select "Save" instead of "Run". Once downloaded, go to the downloaded folder, right click the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe and select 'Run as Administrator' to install

  • I downloaded 4.0 but it won't install. It keeps saying Extraction Failed Can not open output file. HELP!

    Download of the new 4.0 won't install. It keeps saying Extraction Failed Can not open output file.

    Oh? That's "reset youtr laptop"?
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists

    I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists. I really want my hotmail back and for the hotmail folders to be accessible. Gmail is working and the folders are accessible. My iphone already receives my mail so I don't want to effect that.  Any help please?

    You need to post in the Mail forum area of whichever os you are using (which you did not indicate). 

  • QuickTime Won't Install, Can't Find Newer Version OSX 10.4.11

    When QuickTime 7.6 released, the update caused problems on my Mac PPC G5 (OSX Tiger 10.4.11). I deleted it. I attempted to reinstall an older version of QT that I knew functioned. This was over a year ago. It didn't work. As it was not urgent, I forgot about it.
    Now, there is software I want to use that relies on QT being installed.
    Running into the same problem with the installation. It's a Catch-22 situation.
    *The QT 7.5.5 Installer won't install because "a newer version is already installed".*
    *However, attempts to run ANY software or movie or whatnot that uses QT tells me the opposite, that QT is NOT installed.*
    I have searched the computer's furthest corners trying to dig out components and packages and it STILL insists QT is installed. I've searched on every possible variation of QuickTime, Quicktime, quicktime, qt, you name it. NOTHING.
    What am I missing? How do I get this to work? I've no intention of upgrading to Leopard just yet.
    Thanks in advance.

    What am I missing?
    As far as I know, the installing software still checks the "Library > Receipts" folder to read a history of which package updates have been installed rather than searching to see if the actual app is installed. Have you deleted the receipt ".pkg" files equal to or newer than the one you currently wish to install. However, remember this approach assumes that any "patches" applied in the ordinary upgrade process will not create a conflict within the embedded QT structure when reinstalling an older version--which may or may not be true here. (I.e., QT is no longer an independent application or software package but rather an integrated part of the operating system.) The safest approach is to re-install an older version of the entire OS and upgrade the system as it was meant to be updated to the level at which you wish to operate.

  • When I try to put the downloaded firefox into the application folder, it says a newrer version already exists, do you want to replace it. What should I do.

    I have several older versions of Firefox in my application folder. I downloaded 5.0 and when I went to put it into my application folder a pop up window said a NEWER version already is in the folder - do I want to replace it.
    It doesn't make sense. It won't just accept the new version as it previously did with other versions. I just want to know if I should go ahead and replace version.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Cannot install program because newer version already exists?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install fontographer but it says it cannot install on this disk because a newer version of the program is already installed.
    I find this quite strange because I've completely removed every single file of the other version, but still it says it's installed.
    Anyone knows how I can solve thi problem?
    Many thanks to anyone who is willing to help me.
    Greetz,
    Finn.

    Use the developers method to completely uninstall the newer version of the program.
    Sometimes a program will leave it's preference files because you might be uninstalling and reinstalling the same version to fix a software issue. The older version see's the newer version preference files and gives the errors.
    Use the free Easy Find and find the programs file(s) and/or just remove them from your ~/Library/Preferences folder by Finder > Go to Folder > /Library/Preferences
    There may be files in other locations as well. Perhaps it's best to ask the developer where all the files are for completel removal.

  • Implications in installing Java NWeaver if ABAP NWeav already installed

    Hello,
    I have sucessfully installed ABAP NetWeaver Trial version and went through many development exersizes.
    Now I would like to install Java NetWeaver Trial. Are there any obstacles I should be aware of as so far ABAP NW is very stable and fun to work with?
    My platform is Windows XP. My intention is to install the Java Trial NW on my external drive where ABAP NW is currently residing. Would that cause a conflict?
    Thank you in advance...

    No there are no implications.

  • Cannot install quicktime due to newer version already installed

    I'm in desperate need of help. I've been trying to install Itunes for the last 4 nights but QUICKTIME is messing it up. I keep getting the error that a newer version of QUICKTIME is already installed and the installation can't continue.
    I've been scouring the internet for hours over several nights to find a solution without luck.
    There is no entry in the Programs uninstaller for Quicktime.
    I've scoured all my HDs for quicktime and removed all entries
    I've run several reg cleaners and regedit to clean out any reference to Quicktime
    I've used the 'how to uninstall quicktime' support page and used the MS install cleanup utility, cleaned out temp files, used JV Powertools to clean out Quicktime.
    I've used both the standalone installer and the Itunes installer
    I've tried using safemode to install but the installer doesn't work in safe mode
    I've tried uninstalling several codecs in the chance that they are somehow effecting this
    I'm at the end of my rope and both me and the internet appear to be out of ideas. Of course, I need to get Quicktime on to use Itunes and my Itouch.
    I'm running a fully updated Vista install. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I am using Windows XP on an HP Media Center PC m7167c. I have tried everything to fix the issue. Nothing works. HEY APPLE, Can you please fix your QuickTime installer to override the "Newer Version Already Installed" message when there is no QuickTime installed. This problem has been going on for over a year. Please provide an easy alternative way to FORCE INSTALL QUICKTIME. Thanks

  • Won't allow me to register. Says email already exists but when I use Forgot PW it says no email act

    Just got a new HP Officejet Pro 8600.
    Want to ePrint, but need acct.
    Won't let me register as NEW acct saying I already have an acct.
    When I use my ONLY email, it says, not recognized.
    Vicious circle.  HELP.  Tx

    Hello,
    It may be that you have a SnapFish.com account. Alot of long time customers of HP have SnapFish.com accounts and do not realize it. One of the printer software releases signed customers up automatically, and most people did not know, or forgot, because they never used it. Try going to SnapFish.com and using the forgot password link at the log in screen there. Once you have the password reset, go to ePrintCenter.com and use the SnapFish.com log in information to log in. If that does not help you may need to contact SnapFish.com directly to have them delete the account, or use a different email to register with.

  • Win App Deployment include SQL 2008 Express - Check if any SQL Server version already exist

    Hi there
    I have a application that is deploying and installing correctly (Setup and Deployment Project in VS 2008) and has SQL 2008 Express as a pre-requisite. SQL Express installs fine if not found but I don't want it to be installed if any other version of SQL
    Server already exists on the target computer. What do I have to adjust in the Bootstrapper package (package.xml or product.xml)  for SQL Express to do this check? Is the change done within the Bootstrapper package? Do I have to create a Custom Action
    in my Deployment project for this check? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dweezil

    Hi Dweezil,
    If you use SQL Express Bootstrapper, you can add the SqlExpressChk.exe package file in the product.xml to check that if SQL Server is already exists. 
    However, please note that SqlExpressChk.exe is limited to only the default instance name, SQLEXPRESS, it won't detect other named instances. A registry check is required when detecting existing SQL Server with custom instance name.
     For more details, please review this
    blog.
    There is also a similar thread for your reference.
