I cant find the JavaApplePlug-in. It is not in my Library/Internet Plug-ins folder, not anywhere else. I even hit Software update and it suppsedly updated Java but it is no where to be found. Not even in my System Preferences menu. What happened to it and how do I fix it?
Mac OS X (10.6.3)
A recent update to Snow Leopard removed Java for security reasons.
Since August 2012 updates for Java (and especially Java Runtime Environment, which is what you actually need) must now be downloaded direct from Oracle:

However, if you need the Jave 6 JRE and plug-in, MadMAC0 has posted at
Apple has also posted (Oct 22/12) the approved solution for restoring the Java 6 plug-in:

Really? I've the latest update installed and the Java Preferences.app is still installed. BTW, no update removes Java. The Lion/ML ones just change how the Java Runtime Environment is controlled. Much confusion abounds around JRE, Apple, and Oracle.
Thanks I tried donwloading Java 7 earlier but it said Java 7 will only work with 10.7 or above, and I have 10.6. But your link to the terminal code solution worked. Thanks agian.
Java is not working and I cant find it.
