Apr 10, 2013 6:14 AM in response to PageRankSEOby RogerBagula,I originally asked this question on the Google+ Apple community
and this other fellow thought it was important enough to submit here.
No, I wouldn't be running permissions checks with disk utility
if everything was working right.
I keep getting a continued gray screen at shut down.

The Permissions Repair is not a problem. As long as it shows Permissions Repaired then all is good. Ignore the rest. Those permissions have nothing to do with your not being able to access your BankSite, so I do not see how you claim you have the same problem? It may pay to start your own thread and describe your own issues.

May 9, 2013 8:58 AM in response to petermac87by marleneks,Sorry, what I meant is I was getting the message "missing plugin", so I thought I had to repair Permissions and every time I tried I got that message “Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are drwxr-xr-x", but then I followed Java instructions. I went back to Java 6 and finally I could access my bank.
I came across this article on the internet:
For the second time in a month, Apple has effectively blacklisted the current version of the Java Web plugin on OS X. The block comes just days after it was discovered that the latest version of the plugin, which had been rushed out to patch a critical vulnerability, can still be exploited despite its heightened security mechanisms.
Apple has worked to distance itself from Java in recent years. The company deprecated its own version of the Java virtual machine for OS X, instead deferring development to Oracle itself. The browser plugin in particular has become a common vector for malware attacks, and Apple removed the Java Web plugin from recent versions of OS X last year. Those needing the plugin must install it separately.
I even tried "About Java for OS X 2013-003", but it also didn't work.
That's why I decided to uninstalled Java 7 and installed 6 again and it worked.
Thank you anyway.
