A:

Hi, you likely do need to upgrade, yet it's probably not possible.

 

Open Java Preferences in Applications>Utilities>Java, do you see these versions...

    There is a Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6, 7, 8, and 9 available via Software Update. If you haven't already installed those, you can. If you're looking for Java version 6 or anything higher, you can't install that on 10.4; but very few web sites actually use Java anyway.

    Thanks, Since we're dependant on Apple dor our Java updates, you're as far as you can go on Java on your Mac, sorry.

     

    Though if you still find tht Mini useful, upgrading it to 1 GB of RAM can speed it up significantly...
