Yosemite/Java asks me to update to latest version of Java; which is already installed!
Hello,
I have a mid-2010 iMac with OS X Yosemite (10.10.2) installed on it. The issue that I'm having is that I'm getting a Software Update popup that reads:
Now, how can I be asked to "update" what I ALREADY HAVE installed?? In other words it's a junk update. I get this popup one to two times a week and I only go on my Mac perhaps 5 times a week.
Not long after updating to Java 8 Update 31 in maybe early Jan 2015 I got this popup. I thought perhaps they had a typo on the "Update 31" part of the popup. So I updated it a 2nd time on Jan 21st. And now this happened today.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to make this popup stop appearing for no reason? - Rob
System: Mid-2010 iMac, 3.6ghz i5, 8gb, 1tb hardrive
@ Linc Davis:
I followed the link you gave. And downloaded using the link on that page. The page had a link "How to install" at:
http://java.com/en/download/help/mac_install.xml After reading the instructions to the bottom of the page I saw a link to test the installation. So to test if I already had installed the Java that I was now downloading; I clicked the test link. And I got this:
So aparently I do not need to install the Java I downloaded at the link you gave as I already have it! So we're back to square one. Why is this occuring on my system?

I keep plugging in my iPhone to my computer, but iTunes says it does not recognize my phone and won't sync because it needs the latest version of iTunes (11.1 I believe?) to work. I have already downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and I have retried multiple times just incase and it says I already have the latest version downloaded. What can I do to make iTunes recognize my phone again?
Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,

iTunes software would not update update and I can no longer access iTunes.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.

HT4623 How to avoid "restoring" iPAD after attempt to update to latest version of iOS 7?
After I downloaded a new app to my iPad from my MacBook Pro, iTunes message asked me to update to latest version (iOS 7 already installed). Process took longer than expected and message requests to "restore the iPAD." Is there anyway not to do that?
Are you a developer? If so, post this question in the developer forum. If not, why are you using a beta version of ios 7? You need to restore your device as NEW in itunes and update the current software version.

Add-ons Manager Says Java Needs Update, But Latest Version Already Installed
I have Java version SE7 U51 10.51.2.13 installed and working fine. Today I "upgraded" to FF 28.0. Now the Add-Ons Manager says Java is out-of-date, but when I go to the Java website, this is the very latest version available. I downloaded both the 32- and 64-bit versions anyway (though I had already installed them a month ago) and re-installed both. The FF Add-Ons Manager still has same warning: "Vulnerable- Update Now!" The Java Test page says I have the latest version, and it works.
So what the heck to do?Never mind- found the answer. It's the same old silly runaround between Firefox and Oracle. The Firefox link send you to the wrong Java version (outdated) and you have to find the correct Oracle webpage that now has Java version 8 (actually v.1.8.0 plug in 11.0.2.132) and download and install THAT. It would be nice if this were simpler...

YouTube keeps asking me to install latest Flash player but it's already installed.
YouTube keeps asking me to install latest Flash player but it's already installed. I'm on a fully updated mac with 10.8.3. Have installed and restarted several times. What is going on? Thanks!
Forgot to say this is with Safari. On Firefox it works perfectly. Thank you!

When I open iTunes, it asks me to download the latest version. When I click on "download now", nothing happens. If I download directly from the iTunes website, do I need to do anything first? Like deleting something?
In the normal course of events, you can update by just running the iTunesSetup.exe. No special precautions need to be taken (beyond those you usually take with an update, or just in general, like maintaining a current backup).

My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting, etc... But it still says "One of the USB decuces arrached to this omputer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
The iPod is brand new, sent to me by Apple as part of the 1st gen replacement programme. I've been using the cable that came with the 1st gen iPod (I bought the first gen second hand) It always worked on my computer with the 1st gen iPod. So I was wondering, do you think I need to replace my cable in order for my PC to recognize my iPod or is it something else?
ThanksTry a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update on iTunes, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I wouldn't mind leaving it be but I can't access any of my photos. What do I do?
